Did the OP ever decide between these two cars?
I think OP decided to keep their cx5, or is still test driving. Maybe I'm confusing op with another op though as there are several of these type threads.

Well, a lot of people talked a lot of s*** about his crv, and turns out, the 2017 cx5 really sucks compared to the 2017 crv.
worse safety rating than even their last 2016
So when you say they've lost their way and totally destroyed the cx5 by implementing most of what you were saying- going upscale, more sound deadening, etc, then narrowly (per the author) losing to the CR-V that's you being correct all along? You're a twisted individual unob
If you're gonna spew garbage, at least don't get your facts wrong.
They talk s*** about his CR-V because it's a Mazda forum. For what I and many others like about driving, the CR-V will never be the "better" car. I personally wouldn't be caught dead driving a CR-V.
When I think of a CR-V owner, this comes to mind:
I have my own beefs against the 2017 CX-5, but put that aside, it's still a Mazda forum and the Honda fanboys can quote stats and features that make their car "better" and boast about how superior their CR-V is (once again...on a Mazda forum in-case we are forgetting this detail). At the end of the day it's better for...you. It's not "better" for me.

Sound deadening, other fluff added a not insignificant 140lbs plus it seems they tacked on a couple at the wheels (kiss of death)..gives that diesel a bit more justification for living now don't it? Holy conspiracy theories..

They didn't nerf the gas engine they just saddled it with more weight (lets get that gt wt weight please) and yeah the probably not so unintended consequence is diesels with their big tq figures shrug off weight gain much easier than just adequately powered gassers..Not that the 17 felt doggish but the diesel will move it noticeably better now than before but with additional weight of diesel..brakes are really gonna need an upgrade.
I have just done some digging and our 2017 CX-5s have only increased in weight by on average 40kg (88lbs). It's broken down as follows:
"Perhaps disappointingly for some, weight rises – around 40kg – but engineering chief Masaya Kodama insists the penalty of the extra mass was inevitable in the face of improved functionality (such as the more versatile rear seats and increased driver-assist tech that collectively add 5kg), crash safety (another 5kg), more opulent cabin fittings (that’s 10kg more), and refinement/dynamic performance (sound deadening and 15 percent rise in torsional rigidity come at a 20kg cost)."

I thought 140 seemed awfully high thanks for that informative post
