Isn't the Mazda CX-5 supposed to be the CR-V killer?


Consumer Reports did a review of the CX-5, and they didn't seem to think it was all that great. Biggest complaints were anemic engine, choppy ride quality, and excessive interior noise from wind, tires, and engine. They did not like the interior design a whole lot either (materials good, ergonomics iffy and overall look plain).

Great handling and fuel economy were the high points, but ultimately I don't think the CX-5 offers the same "complete package" that the CR-V does. In order to beat the CR-V, the CX-5 would have had to do everything better than the CR-V in order to convince people to switch. What Mazda brought to the table is good IMO, but not good enough.


I have also read a comparison test that shows while the CX-5 "feels" sportier than the CR-V, the performance numbers don't really support that (ie. 0-60mph, skidpad, slalom, braking).
