I'm a Honda guy (three Civics in a row) but the wife doesn't like driving sedans or coupes and the CR-Vs are just ugly as fuck to me. new Pilots (also ugly) are overpriced for what she needed, HR-V is some bad compromise, and I didn't like the Rav4 or Rogues either.
CX-5 was just right for us. I hate spending more than $21-25k out the door for a vehicle, so this was perfect.
