Let’s get this out of the way. The Mazda CX-5 is perhaps the prettiest and most attractive compact crossover on sale today. Even though it’s been around for some time now, the CX-5 has aged gracefully and remains quite a looker. Thankfully, it can back up its looks with lots of substance, too. Excellent road manners, a good ride, and a well-appointed interior bordering on luxury territory give you a lot of reason to choose the Mazda over its competitors. There’s even a turbocharged variant for those of you looking for more power. Will all of that be enough, though?
