 I compared this SUV verses the Honda CRV top two rated vehicles.   Both are great SUV's I choose the CX5 for its styling, particular the front nose, and the great handling (feel behind the wheel).   The interior of the CX5 compares with that of far more expensive vehicles.   I  have the Gt model  with heads-up display, all the adaptive safety features and forward display perform exceptionally well.  Safety and ease of vehicle entry is the emphasis for us seniors.  I have received many compliments on the CX5 candy apple red color.
