I drove all the cute ute's, and I mean ALL of them and the CX-5 is literally in a league of its own. Blind spot monitoring, backup camera, rain sensing wipers, sunroof, and an honest 37mpg on the highway for $32,000. Try and match all those things with ANYONE else.. And to boot, This thing drives and handles like a sports car. The 6 speed automatic is absolutely fantastic! Crisp shifts, rev matching, automatic downshifting when going down steep hills.. awesome. The only gripe I have is I personally find the seat a little uncomfortable.. but that's just me. Don't hesitate on this vehicle!!
