    So the AWD system is not worth mentioning, and it has limited cargo capacity. But it's class leading because it's fun to drive? Your criteria needs to reflect the class of car / SUV / CUV you are actually testing.

    Re Contheon's Comments. Ireally couldn't find the "fun to drive" comment by the reviewer but, yes, it is fun to drive.

    That means it merges onto highways and passes slower traffic more easily.
    but it handily outperforms all others in this class. It tracks through turns like a much smaller vehicle and encourages performance-minded drivers to push harder.
    All of these traits combine to make the Mazda CX-5 the best-driving compact SUV we've tested.

    Did you miss all these points?
