"...except for the occasional lateral rocking motion over uneven pavement."
That from Consumer Reports test drive of the CX-5. The lateral rocking motion occurs not only over uneven pavement but to a much greater extent on rough surfaced dirt roads, a condition I face daily for some kilometers. It was one of the first things I noticed driving the new car home. The car I traded in, a Renault 4x4 SUV had side to side rocking under much better control. It is unpleasant enough after a big lunch but the other day I sprained my back and while the up and down motion wasn't too painful that lurching from side to side was really killer! After 5000 kilometers that and one other issue are my only complaints. The other being the horn can't easily be reached with both hands on the wheel. While probably a non issue for North Americans and especially Canadians in whose countries courteous driving is more the norm than the exception, here in Colombia it is the other way around and the car horn is likely to get frequent daily use so ready access would be appreciated.
