Hello Everyone,
I am a bit confused to choose between a Mazda CX 50(non-Turbo) or a CRV hybrid. I know both have different mechanics. However, I am thinking of keeping it for a long time and I don't have any issue with MPG.
Both are good on their own, but I found there were a few issues with the Honda Hybrid who lives in a colder area.
Let me know Folks what do you think which one Should I get? And also what do you guys think about Mazda's turbo with CX-50?
Cheers!

So not hybrid.
How about a regular RAV4, CR-V or CX-5 instead?
long wait for Rav4 and not a fan of the Turbo 1.5L engine in CRV. CX-5 seems good but I want a bigger interior space so I was thinking CX-50 would be a good choice.
If you live primarily in super cold and snowy temperatures, I would shy away from hybrids or EV's. And by super cold, I mean below freezing. If it is cold once in a while, not a big deal.
I personally prefer naturally aspirated over turbo in most cases.
Between the CRV Hybrid and the CX-50, my preferences in general is the CRV Hybrid, but obviously my climate isn't so crazy. Not knocking the CX-50, it is a mighty fine vehicle. And I would gladly drive one as well. Heck, in China, there is a CX-50 Hybrid version with a Toyota drivetrain. Now that is pretty crazy.
Thanks, @Kaizen for your opinion.
I live in Winnipeg, Canada where 5-6 months a year the temperature is below freezing and in peak winter we experience -15C to -35C for a couple of months.
