TCC’s Bottom Line

As long as cargo space isn’t your main reason for buying a compact crossover, the 2018 Mazda CX-5 is an excellent, fun-to-drive choice.

The 2018 Nissan Rogue may not be very exciting, but it checks all the right boxes—and then some—for most family needs.

TCC Likes

Attractive styling inside and out
Poised chassis, communicative steering
Engine changes bode well for mpg

Lots of standard safety tech
Can drive itself, at least a little
Great interior space utilization

TCC Dislikes

Frustrating infotainment setup
Light cargo volume
Short on refinement

Light on power
Transmission drones on and on
Hardly fun to drive
