The Honda is certainly more
The Honda is certainly more roomy and gets better fuel economy, but for spirited driving the CX-5 with the turbo is superior to the CX-5 (its much faster and handles better). It also hands down is much better looking than the rather ugly CRV. Honda designers seem to have a hard time designing beautiful vehicles (Mazda and Kia, Hyundai and even Nissan make better looking vehicles). Honda really needs to hire new design studios.
