Mazda’s First Crossover May Be A Decent Alternative If You Can’t Afford A New CX-5

The Mazda CX-5 has spent a lot of time at the top of the brand’s list of bestsellers, and for good reason. The compact crossover holds an impressive safety report card whether you’re going with the IIHS, NHTSA, ANCAP, or Euro NCAP, it’s versatile, it’s practical, all-wheel drive comes standard, and it handles beautifully, especially for something that starts out at under 30 grand.
