The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
7.6 Read Our Full Review	8.2 Read Our Full Review
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2014 Honda CR-V isn't exactly sprightly, but it nails efficiency on a few levels and finally brings more features to the family-wagon fight.	The 2015 Mazda CX-5 is an athletic, fuel-efficient, well-designed small crossover.
TCC Likes
Simple and tasteful, inside and out Cabin is refined, quiet Best seat-folding mechanism	Excellent steering and handling Smart, sporty styling Base Sport model decently equipped
TCC Dislikes
Styling isn't adventurous A bit plasticky inside Steering feel lacks proper feedback	Rearward vision Ride can be busy on some surfaces Dated, sluggish navigation interface
