    Is the CX-5 the mid-size SUV benchmark?

    You rate the Mazda CX-5 as the benchmark in the mid-sized SUV category but I have been having a very close look at the 2016 Kia Sportage Platinum. It's only just released but I wonder if you believe this vehicle could be the CX-5's equal or marginally better. The quality, good ride comfort, power, features and, in particular, interior space in my view are excellent. What are you thoughts?

    You've read my mind. After a back-to-back last week with the CX-5 I'm now recommending the Sportage as top in its class. Both get The Tick from me. I think the Sportage is as impressive as the Kia Sorento people-mover that's our reigning Car of the Year.
