Mazda CX-5 6sp auto

Dimensions(m): L/W/H -> 4.53/1.83/1.66
Engine(base) 2.0L 155hp and 150lbft
MPGs with Auto/AWD ->25/30

If CX-5 will be much smaller than the upcoming new CRV then I am sure CRV will have the size like X5.

Bufung, have you seen the new CRV? How big is it? Do you have any info about the new CRV size?

I booked the 2.0 with navi, Honda said around 135K OTR. But it is still using old 2.0, old 5 speed, only new design like the camry, so I take the CX-5, at least it is all new model, SUV, CBU, full spec, 3 years maintenance.

Yes 135k OTR, top of the range civic with navi.

I think it is a good buy. But the price has not finalized yet, hopefully it will be not more than 160k OTR with insurance.

By looking at new camry and new civic, I think new CRV will be using old engine, old gear box and old spec, maybe throw in some features like navi and reverse camera and sell for 155k.

Not interested in Korea cars, I know they have improved a lot but I still prefer Japan car and CBU. I ordered a grey one, 2WD.
