    Consumer reports 2019 just rated the Subaru Forester #1. What was the Cx5's ranking?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaiW7Uxp7OU I agree with this. If you're buying an SUV, MOST PEOPLE are buying it for the space and practicality, which is why these companies value that more than anything else. Forester does well here. Since I need more space than a passenger vehicle but not...

    Are trade-ins ever worth it?

    They are only worth it if you don't want to deal with the hassle of going thru a private sale IMO.

    Looks amazing. They hit it out of the park with it IMO.

    Car & Driver has always been team Mazda

    Most people buy SUVs for their practicality. That's why they buy SUV's over a car.

    Are you buying Apple Car Play/Android Auto?

    It is ABSOLUTELY worth it. You really dont have to use the horrendous MazdaConnect unit much after you install it unless you still listen to radio.

    I was going to buy a CR-V...Not anymore

    Get yourself a nice used 2017 CX-5 model and stay away from any vehicle that has cylinder deactivation IMO...

    Mazda Appoints New CEO, Prioritises USA - Wonder If Any Immediate Impact On CX-5

    I know people want more power, but most customers want features/safety/economy. Only a small minority(enthusiasts) care about power. If you were to head over to the Subaru board, you would think every Forester on the road is an XT, when the XT only accounted for 5% of total Forester sales. Power...

    The unreliable Mazda ?

    Good point, however I just believe the RAV4 will get a significant change in terms of its handling once we start seeing the reviews come in. I doubt they're not going to significantly improve the handling of the RAV4 considering they are likely going to give it a significant increase in power(at...

    Are trade-ins ever worth it?

    It's only 'worth' it if you don't want to go thru the hassle of selling it youself. Besides why do you want to trade it? The new Mazda3 is right around the corner. Might as well wait for that.

    Mazda3 New Digital Driver Display

    Looks awesome IMO, very reminiscent of the F-Sport gauges used in Lexus.

    The unreliable Mazda ?

    Doubt it, the CRV has it's 'practicality'(i.e cargo space/interior space) niche going for it, Subaru has it's 'AWD' niche. Mazda doesn't have any kind of niche going for it. It's going to be behind in the pack in everything except for maybe fuel economy once the HCCI engine is used.

    The unreliable Mazda ?

    That new RAV4 is going to take a massive dump on everything else in the market, especially the CX-5 IMO. It's got a much more aggressive look than anything else on the market, 200+ HP(more than anyone else), better AWD system, better tranmission tha anyone else, likely improved fuel economy and...

    2019 CX-5 Details

    Because people don't buy passenger cars anymore. It's all SUVs now. And I doubt someone who buys a Camry cares about a turbo motor, much like 95% of Forester bought the non-turbo engine and only 5% bought the turbo engine despite the Forester's turbo engine having class-leading power. Subaru is...

    CX-5 Sales continue to set records

    well the base of the argument was cuv sales, and comparing models, not engines. i agree it is not a fair comparison to compare both engines but both of these vehicles compete with each other in the same price range. one engine(on paper anyway, as i havent driven a new camry) is clearly superior...

    CX-5 Sales continue to set records

    its a valid comparison imo. they're both new generation models, directly competing with one another. its just that one company decided to put a new motor in their CUV to give it a competitive advantage, and the other company has no engine to compete with it. that 2.5L skyactiv is on it's last...

    Best Alternative to CX-5

    Like someone mentioned, consider waiting for the new Forester. I have driven the XT and love its power. A refresh should be coming soon...

    Mazda3: Is it worth it to get the 2.5 engine?

    I driven the 2.0 and it really is a struggle to get itself going. I would opt for the 2.5.
