Is the Mazda CX-5 really more fun to drive than a RAV4 or CR-V?
Yes, and it is the single most defensible reason to choose a CX-5. The steering is weighted rather than numb, body roll is controlled through firmer dampers, and the G-Vectoring Control system subtly modulates engine torque during cornering to improve turn-in. On a winding road, the CX-5 is the clear enthusiast pick in the compact SUV segment. The trade-off is a slightly firmer ride over frost-heaved Quebec or Manitoba pavement. For buyers who value comfort above all, the RAV4 is more forgiving.
