Help Me Decide: CX-5 vs. CR-V

The CVT is a killer for me in the CRV. If this CX-5 doesn't treat us well, I have no idea what will come next because all the others in the class have been eliminated also. 4 door car I suppose, because definitely see no use for anything bigger...

Precisely why I'm probably moving up market. Nothing other than the first gen CX5 is appealing enough to drop a big chunk of change on.

LOL...That close-up angle made me realise exactly what it is that I see in the front end of the Honda.

Sorry, but not sorry. Thanks for the inspiration BigTex.
 
You can get a similar optioned Audi Q5 for around $50K that would be very nice.

I think we are in the same boat, no Audi/VW products ever again!

Well, I take that back, I'd take an old air cooled VW to play with and run circles around the new ones with it.
 
Or the S5 if you need 350 HP and 5 second 0-60. But that will be about $65K.
 
You're a huge flop IMO and how much you wanna bet on a Mazda CVT not happening?

From Mazda's brochure:

"The 6-speed automatic transmission combines the best attributes of conventional automatic, continuously variable and dual clutch transmissions while a new gear shift control predicts operating intentions"

Proof enough that at this time, conventional auto transmission is the way they are going
 
Can't spend too much money kids... I'd like to buy a camp on a lake too.

Same with us and the Quadrifoglio. Is it doable, probably, but the lady is right, "don't you want some extra land and a hunting camp by the lake?!!". Not to mention, a 1 year old, and would love to retire right when the nest goes empty too.
