The CX-5 is one of the best compact SUVs you can buy. It's reliable, fun to drive, and has a great interior. Any model year from 2017+ is an excellent choice. The 2.5L turbo (2019+) adds punch without sacrificing reliability. It's cheaper to own than a CR-V or RAV4 despite feeling more premium. The only complaint is the cargo space is slightly smaller than competitors.
