No contest, go for the CX5.
Does the CX-5 Maxx use the same deep cycle batteries as the Mazda 3 and higher end CX-5? If it does, malaking portion ng expense yan when the time comes to replace the battery. How's the feedback on the PMS cost after Yojin3? Kasi sa Honda mas mura ang PMS nila after 3-years, pwede na magtake advantage na ng mga promo nila. Just some thoughts to consider.
If really going for a Honda, it would be much better to get a CRV instead. Please take note that both Honda crossovers have lower ground clearance compared to the competition.
Do note: Neither car is rated for flood fording. The CX-5's air intake sits over the grille, however, while the HR-V's intake goes through the grille (better than the CR-V... our intake is in the bumper)... so the CX-5 should be a bit safer... but neither car is guaranteed to be able to survive a thorough soaking.
If you really want a flood-proof car, buy one with a rated wading depth. This ensures that electronics and transmission/oil coolers are sealed from water intrusion below this depth.

When in doubt... simply DON'T.
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
Consider the Subaru XV or Forester also. Better ground clearance, AWD, 6 airbags.
