Well then you definitely are a groupie cuz in most cases it not gonna stand up at that price. Southern Sales is pricing Mazda too high in general as a step up from Kia.

More than half the things you highlighted for the CX5 present in the Tiguan and arguably done better too for 30K less. Madness.

@Allergic ..... was going to point out the same things .... but when you dealing with fanboys sometimes it's pointless. For the price... the Tiguan is a much better vehicle than the CX5 ... hands down

Lol @ Stephon.

I don't think everybody can be wrong. But you're entitled to your opinions. Just try to see what bunnyears said not from a fanboy point of view. What he said made a lot of sense.
CX-5 is highly overrated and overpriced. End of story.

if the cx5 was 310k i would buy it instantly, i mean how much MVT can a 2.0L engine have to justify the price which is in german crowd. stephon, their are 3 elantras and the basic one starts at 170k and the mid is 190k. The quote i got on the rio says 156k as per MT show months ago, perhaps the price was reduced to 150k now. I do not pull figures out of a hat.

The CR-V leather actually is on special right now for $385k and the 2.4 RAV-4 is 357k. A major upsetter has arrived, ie. the 2013 Audi Q3 is in the showroom. It's even more affordable than the Q5 and is sure to grab someX1, RAV4, CRV, CX5, Xtrail, ASX buyers.

The best 4WD gas powered crossover SUV money can buy now is the Tucson GLS executive pack for $310k. No one else beats that!

That's the price of a fully loaded tucson and it doesn't even have half the features as the CX-5
No matter how hard you try to compare the Tucson to the CX-5, it's just going to be an unfair
comparison because the CX-5 surpasses the Tucson in every segment.
Why isn't the price good though? Is it because it's in the Euro price range and it's a Jap vehicle?
Any of ya'll even bothered to go to the showroom and check out the features in person/test drive?

All the other vehicles you put down have you bothered to test drive them? Most times we don't have access to large normally aspirated engines so one time you looking at small displacement non turbo and turbo. Once you drive a 2.0 turbo you will find it VERY hard to go back to 2.0 non turbo and smaller.

I have checked out the CX5. It is nice. BUT not nice enough to spend 440K when that is within striking distance of faster and more luxurious and arguably better looking euros. Gimme dat Q5 for a "lil" extra. Gimme a Tiguan for lower price. Man bawl Q3 here so even worse.

Choosing a car is all about personal preference, so I'm not going to tell you which is the best value for money or the best car for you. But, with your comparison to the VW Tiguan you missed many details.

Missed features:
1. The Tiguan being compared is equipped with leather interior and the pointless seat warmers in this weather (Worst thing when you turn them on by mistake at midday lol :P )
2. All VWs have Power Windows with One Touch Up/Down on ALL FOUR WINDOWS
3. The Tiguan does have Front and Rear Parking Sensors not just rear as stated in post
4. The Tiguan does not just have automatic air conditioning but, Dual Zone Air Conditioning
5. Equipped with a 7-speed DSG transmission
6. Engine: 2.0TSI with 200 bhp and 207 lbs/ft torque (think it might have been increased to 211 bhp but, don't want to confirm unknown information.
7. All Tiguans are equipped with Tire Pressure Monitor Systems. (The CX-5 probably has this as well)
8. Equipped with Factory Bluetooth Handsfree
9. Push-Button Start is also equipped on this top of the line Tiguan

I'm not arguing which is the better car just wanted to create a more fair comparison. The market has great choice to suit the needs of different buyers.

One thing is for sure...
If it came with the 2l turbo engine like the CX7 in the states it would have helped.

:| What is this fascination with push button start as a feature?

My mother's 1978 Ford Escort had a push button start when something went wrong with the key cylinder in the steering column. The key was used to unlock the steering and the electrician installed a button on the lower half in the central portion of the dashboard which one would use to start the car.

I had gone to the dealership and asked about this a few months ago.. halfway into the year its finally here? Seems late to the party to me and at 215k doesnt look like a bargain either.

What he said, I missed those because I quoted from a email which just put the defining features in tiers.
