Aesthetically-wise the CRV wins (personal opinion). But with its entry price, I find it a bit disappointing since I can't find any features that could justify the hefty price point.

Mazda makes solid vehicles, so I could really bet that the CX5 will be a joy to drive around town.
Agree on the wheel size for the CX-5. I want the stock 19" of the CX-5 but I don't know how to get them...
