Hi all,

I'm choosing between the two. The CX-5 FWD Pro (base model) is at 1.680 with a 130K discount. The CR-V 1.6V is at 1.688M with about 65K discount.

I think since both are base models, neither has the bells and whistles. But the CX-5 probably has an advantage in terms of safety features; while to me, the main advantage of the Honda is the diesel engine. I don't need the 7-seats.

Any thoughts? I really don't want to spend more than 1.7M (I'd prefer it to be closer to 1.5M actually, which is why maybe the CX-3 or the HRV might be a consideration, although i prefer the CX-5 and the CR-V).
