True, and that's why the CRV is the best. It's the most practical because it has the most interior room, the MPGs are equal to the Forrester yet much faster, it has carplay and android auto, has all the advanced safety features, and actually out-performs the gorgeous and sporty Mazda in acceleration, braking and slalom. You'd have to spend thousands more on the new turbo CX5 to gain 1 sec faster 0-60. www.motortrend.com/cars/honda/cr-v/2017/2017-honda-cr-v-vs-2017-mazda-cx-5-comparison-review/

Former trained ambulance driver here... I've been driving the 2020 Forester sport for almost a year now as a rideshare driver in New England. I can say without a doubt the guy driving the Forester at minute 6:33 is dead wrong about the steering and/or any other driving related aspect of the Forester. As a trained professional driver, there is not a single situation I have put the car into that it has not been able to handle with utmost confidence. To be honest my only complaint with the 2020 is the auto high beams turn off for roadside reflectors and streetlights(sometimes making it look like you're flashing the lights), and the front seats lack serious comfortability (long drives kinda leave me with sciatica)... I'm 6ft tall and the bottom of the seat only comes about three-quarters of the way to my knee(so either a longer seat bottom or sliding extension). the padding of that seat could also use about three hundred more dollars worth of padding; come on memory foam 😂! and if you drive the car with a modicum of sense you can get 30 mpg combined which I %99 of the time get as long as I don't forget I have it in sport# mode 🤣😂

@@paulpham5940 You can say whatever you want, the Toyota and Mazda are better engineered cars. Subaru engines are weak, they are at their best when they have low mileage on them, has it starts to get up there in mileage things start to fail, no thank you. (also I've heard chatter of their CVT transmissions giving up the ghost too). I want a Marathon runner not a sprinter.

Edmund's longterm CX-5 driven in California has an underlying theme that it is slow. It maybe faster than a Prius but it is still slow. "I got ready to pull back into traffic, traffic that was scooting along somewhere around 50 miles per hour. Although the CX-5 managed to get me up to flow-of-traffic speed, it didn't seem the least bit happy about it. The sluggish response to me laying into the gas was more than surprising - it was disappointing. The CX-5 is fantastic in many respects. But getting up to highway speed quickly isn't one of them." "...several of us are already disappointed in the CX-5's somewhat toothless acceleration and general non-zoominess, we're all furiously plastering the accelerator to the floor in an attempt to coerce any life out of this powertrain. That's not going to help our fuel economy." "The CX-5's non-turbocharged four-cylinder has to work hard to keep up with traffic, and it doesn't have much left when you pull out to pass on the highway. Adding that turbo engine would make the CX-5 'feel alive' in a way that it doesn't now." "push the CX-5 at all or try an aggressive lane change, the lack of power is very noticeable. The engine growls loudly, but the CX-5 does not move to match the sound. Also in terms of fuel economy, I was averaging just over 20 mpg, which falls short of the EPA ratings. Compared to the fuel economy you can get in the Honda CR-V, which feels larger and more powerful, the Mazda CX-5 doesn't compare."

I have an 18 crv ex and besides swapping out the halogen headlights for led’s, I’m very happy with it. It’s quiet, smooth riding and gets good mpg and awd. The cvt does take some getting used to..... I traded an ‘18 accord touring 2.0 for the crv.

Forester any day, hands down the best out of these 3. Feels solid like a train on the road. And the 2018 XT is still the fastest SUV in its segment. Waiting to see the new turbo model for this generation
@blasphemicwhale2 жыл бұрын
The CX5 turbo makes almost 60 more lb ft of torque than the Subaru, and the Subaru pulls 0-60 in 6.8 seconds with a terrible cvt. The CX5 pulls 0-60 in 6.4 seconds with a 6AT. So, your statement is plain wrong. The interior of the CX5 is so far ahead of the Forester its not even close. And I even like Subaru lol.

If it wasn’t for the oil dilution issues Honda CRV definitely wins. But in the real world, Toyota RAV4 wins. Blind spot monitor standard across the board not just top trims, and no super complex turbos etc. Just auto trans and natural engine. Plus, LED lighting is standard on all trims.

From my understanding they have fixed it for the 2019 model. If not, that is pretty wild since it is now in it's third year. But I guess one bad engine is going to bring on the hate for Honda for years to come now. I think people just love to hate Honda for their success. Fanboyism is so annoying.
