I think new 2017 CRV has 4 way lumbar for the driver... but I don't know what that means.

According to Motor Trend, they would recommend the CRV to both non-car people AND ENTHUSIASTS. Let's re-read what they had to say:
I and many others will take Motor Trends opinion on this debate.

Probably up and down and in and out? I don't know either.

LOL. This from the guy who says all the reviewers are payed off shills when they like the CX-5. (rofl)

LOL what I said was to not take 'reviews' seriously when these auto companies are footing the bill for your flight, hotel, entertainment to come 'review' their car. That goes for Mazda, Honda or any other company. This comparison was unbiased most likely using fleet cars. Not only that but every other comparison has said the same thing CRV. I know you're salty about the CRV getting so much praise, but guess what? You'll just have to get used to it.

Actually I'm not at all salty about that. I've said that if it has what you want and value out of a car, the CR-V is fine.
For what I like, it is not.
Second I don't have to get used to s***. This is a Mazda forum. Not a Honda forum. This fact seems lost on you.
Edit: It's like the Seinfeld episode where the fat guy gets naked on the Subway and he just expects everyone to deal with it.

That's what she said.
Has any reviewer addressed this:
Pros of CX-5:
1) It is FAR better looking on both the exterior and interior. Not even a close comparison.
Because, again, I think this is the single greatest reason someone would chose it over a CRV, even with all the other "shortcomings" the CX5 has. Although, I personally would not choose the CX5 if it had the Honda engine/transmission because I tow a lot.

Purely opinion. If the greatest reason for one item over another is "how it looks to some people"...it's probably the wrong choice, unless it's a painting.

Addendum. He only gets to make sticky if he gets to post it on the Mazda forum. LOL (no)
I'd wager he didn't even post about it on the CR-V forum. (I could be wrong). At least the other Honda owners over there are a little more objective and can see the appeal of either car depending on what matters to you. Mango only s**** on the CX-5 and Mazda. LOL
Now Mango, show me on this doll where Mazda hurt you.

The same way someone could possibly look at the CRV with its better handling, full second faster to 60mph acceleration, better braking, AND better mpg, and say the CX5 has a better driveline.

Well kinda. I don't like the looks of either one of them, honestly, and I'm not spending $30k+ for a car when I'll never like it's looks.

Don't forget, it also completed the Figure-8 track at a quicker time as well according to Motor Trend. So much for that awesome 'handling' it has...

Well, I'll be honest and say neither bother me as much as they once did, but still not a fan enough to buy one, however I do like the 17 CRV better than the 17 CX-5 (overall anyways), although I'd never own either. Nice cars for sure, though...
