CX-5 Sport vs. Jeep Cherokee base model
My wife has narrowed down her selection to these two cars. She is very simplistic with her automobiles. She does not want the bells and whistles. That's why we're looking at the base models. I have leased a 2012 Mazda6 Sport, a 2014 Mazda6 Touring and just purchased a 2017 Mazda6 GT with the Premium Package. Increasing my fancy bits as I went. So, my preference is very Mazda biased. However, it is her car so it is her choice.
Is there any knowledge out there that can provide a direct comparison for these two models. All opinions are welcome. If you are citing reviews or fact based information, please provide a link if you can. Have a ZoomZoom day. |
Have her take a look at any quality survey such as JD Powers or Consumer Reports and she'll find there's no comparison between the two. FCA products, including all Jeep models, are always at the very bottom of the ratings while Mazdas are always in the top quartile. Jeeps still sell because people like the macho image and do irrational things. I hope she's not one of those!

I narrowed down between the jeep cherokee and mazda cx-5 as well. After I read about the transmission and engine issues with the Cherokee, I sided with the Mazda.

Will never buy another jeep product ever again had a Jeep Grand Cherokee, Overland. It was my wife’s and don’t get me wrong it looked good with all the amenities it came with but it began to literally fall apart, not built to last and it spent more time at the dealer for repairs than in my driveway. Off loaded it and she got a CRV (I tried to get her to get CX5 also) and she is way happier.

Thank you all for the input. My wife had a CX-5 for about 24 hours, yesterday, on an extended test drive. Instant love. With the exception of Jeep running a 50% off sale, a CX-5 Sport will soon be resting in our driveway. (the sound of sighing relief in the background)
