All three are good choices. However, I’d lean toward the CX-5, because it is Made in Japan. That gives it a leg up on build quality and overall reliability. It’s also a good value if you can find one for less than retail.

it’s a grower, not a show-er.

What they are doing here is not only a complete re-brand but a complete product and service portfolio replacement. That is amazingly difficult for…
I’m almost surprised that no one has taken the radar from radar cruise control, mounted it on the back, and made brake lights that increase in intensity the closer something gets to your rear bumper.
