I pretty much agree with the final result, Honda CR v is the best of the bunch.

4:40-4:55 is exactly what's wrong with American decisions for liking cars. Not function, form, or reliability.... But BLUETOOTH.

+Ji Fay Jeep Renegade is actually considered a "sub-compact" They compete with the Chevy Trax/ Buick Encore, Subaru XV Crosstek, and Nissan Juke. The newly redesigned Hyundai Tucson had not come out yet. Kia Sportage will get their redesign for the 2017 model year.

They call the cx5 and rav 4 for shitty interior? Pls I recent went to a gm dealer and the chevy and gmc were nothing but hard plastics with some rough finished edges

herrdok, like I said before, u don't know shit about cars, get a life.

Typical Motorweek: TWO Full Minutes in before you learn *anything* at all about the cars.

Top Gear argued that Mazda was the better crossover

Crossovers? Those things have ballooned out to being full size SUV's now. Kia soul.. that's a crossover.

Where's the Ford Escape, or the Hyundai Tucson or the Kia Sportage? They're compact SUVs that are selling quite well as well.

The reason why the Forester's ride quality is terrible is because of the OEM Yokohama Geolandar G91F tires are hard. For 17" Forester rims, the Yokohama AT-S tires do a better job on-road and off-road than the OEMs.

Screw the creature comforts, I'll take the Forester.

I'd rather have an Outlander Sport than an Equinox.

Almost surprising there was no Jeep Cherokee.

The Honda is so ugly. Just about every new Honda is ugly. That would be at the very bottom of my list.

Its a compact SUV man who cares how it looks its all about function.

Rough ride for the forester? Not with mine. Totally the opposite

I’m not buying a compact suv on styling that’s for sure. You buy it for practically.

Why would you not have the Mitsubishi Outlander Sport in this comparison?!

Why no Jeep Cherokee or Volkswagen Tiguan?

because they are junk

Here's how I think it should have been Cr-v: great at everything except a few interior plastics Equinox- very outdated but still wonderful at Bluetooth connectivity and ride RAV4 -reliable with lots of room and space, quiet ride, but styling not stunning to look at Forester: great off-road, lots of room, awd, but materials a step behind everyone else, especially the radio controls Rouge: lots of equipment for the least expensive car of the lot, but very noisy cvt transmission, and not fun to drive Cx5: zoom zoom fun, very comfortable interior, but the ride is a tad firm and rough Terrain: very usable back seat which slides, but is outdated like Equinox, and I'd like to see it like an Acadia exterior style and not truckish like the old Honda Pilot was.

Go ahead.... buy one of those GM twins and see how they are running in 5 years

Why both Chevy and GMC? They're the same vehicle . The Mazda looks cheap compared to the others. Can't believe CR'S darling, The Forester, didn't place. No explanation as to why Ford, Kia and Hyundai are missing?

manthony225 You'd think Ford would have the Escape for comparison. And the Tucson and Sportage would be in the competition. But maybe it didn't meet MotorWeek's and Cars.com's price platform. In regards of the Equinox and Terrain, the tech is there, but the exteriors seems a little dated (thus, a refresh for next model year). You'd think Subaru's Forester would do well, but the knock on it --> their infotainment system is less to be desired, but the new Starlink infotainment system that's in the Outback and Legacy will come in next model year (oh, it's also in its compact Impreza and XV Crosstrek). Remember, this is a unique comparison test. Still, if you're in the market for any of these vehicles, test drive them all! You may think the Mazda CX-5 maybe better than the Honda CR-V. Also, don't just think about the driver, think about the passengers as well.

manthony225 They were testing the cheaper 2.0 version of the Mazda. The 2.5 liter engine makes a world of difference and comes with a lot more features (nav, leather, auto A/C, auto wipers and headlights etc.).

John Edmond The CX-5 rides horribly. The Forester is a great choice, its a shame that this review seems so biased against it. Subaru's AWD system is eons above everyone else and it's standard across the board.

What good is the infotainment system to an SUV if you're stuck in snow without AWD? Stupid comparison. Bang for the buck, the Forester would win. Buying AWD as an option for any of these cars would result in a car way over the $29k threshold. Dumb comparison.

The Forester is better than the Honda crv.. On performance and utility.

We love out CX5 GT, looks and drives the best :)

Not exactly a fair comparison if only two have AWD. If you wanted the same dollar amount value all should have been compared with their AWD/4WD models. In my opinion any SUV without AWD is just an overglorified raised Station Wagon. Right? Where is the U in Utility when your SUV is stuck in the snow? Stupid test of SUVs. Test all models AGAIN in snow and see which one you pick then for $29k. Extremely disappointed in Motorweek for lowering standards to see which SUV is the best raised station wagon rather than which SUV has the best U in Utility. Shame on you guys.

ford escape is my favorite screw gm

Toyota didn't start this segment if anything Subaru started it and if you really want to get technical the AMC Eagle started this segment.

Fail review. Excluding a dozen other cars, putting the Forester at the bottom, and GM crap so high.

Lol at all you ignorants talking about GM must have paid them lots of money to get the Nox and Terrain up there. Get real guys! If it's like that, then I can say Honda must of paid them millions in order to get the CR-V first place since CR-V isn't that great either.

I like the Mazda the best.

These aren't SUVs...

This test is a joke and so is cars.com! How did the Chevrolet and GMC score that high? Horrible engines and transmissions that can hardly get them out of their own way, poor mpg, cheap dated interiors. The Subaru and Mazda, both which either win or score at the top of everyone else's tests score in last place. While the Chevrolet and GMC which usually finish near the bottom in everyone else's test score near the top. Please!

No ford escape

S to the U to the V...

This is clearly the gathering of the only press vehicles available at the time of shooting. Ford or Hyundai/Kia no where to be seen. Either get true comparison models across the board or don't shoot the piece. Poor journalism. GMC Terrain and Chevy Equinox are in the top 3? Not by any other professional tester/reviewer I've read or viewed. These GM platforms are quite dated when compared to the rest in this group. Truly an awful review.

Enough is enough, stop testing the GM twins! They're hideously outdated and nobody buys them! You've been pitting these two together in comparos for eons now and its getting old.
