Hey everyone. I’m in the market for a new rugged off road capable vehicle. I’ve narrowed it down to both of these but can’t make up my mind. Why should I go with the Mazda over the Subaru? All opinions welcome!

    There are only two reasons I would consider the Outback over the CX-50, headroom and off road ability. The Outback (especially the Wilderness) has more off-road focused features. I haven’t seen a head to head comparison, but Subaru has much more experience here.

    Otherwise, the interior quality on the CX-50 is in another class. The engine is pretty well proven, and the transmission (though a little dated) is still preferable over the CVT.

      I recommend sitting in a top trim outback if u haven’t seen how nice Subaru interiors have gotten. I’ve sat in both and the Mazda is nice don’t get me wrong. But it’s not better than the outback.
