Hi all,

I've narrowed down my choices between the following:

1. Subaru XV 2.0i (base model) P1.348M with 60K cash discount + Crosstex kits worth 60K; or
2. Mazda CX-5 FWD Pro P1.55M with no discount but with Yojin 3.

The things going for the CX-5 and the extra 200K (roughly):

1. It's the latest model, unlike the XV which will be replaced by the 2nd gen XV by the end of the year;
2. Bigger vehicle;
3. Rear camera;
4. Electric (push button) parking brake;
5. i-stop idling system; and
6. Skyactiv

What do you think are the advantages of the XV apart from the price?

1. AWD instead of FWD;
2. Better safety features?


Thoughts?
