Comfort
                                        Passengers in the back seat may find themselves a little more cramped in the Lincoln Aviator than the Mazda CX-5.
                                        The Lincoln Aviator will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Mazda CX-5.
                                     
Convenience
                                        You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Lincoln Aviator as you will with the Mazda CX-5, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
                                     
Cost
                                        There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle.  The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP).  The Lincoln Aviator will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Mazda CX-5, which has a much lower MSRP. 
                                     
Dimensions
                                        Since the Lincoln Aviator is much wider than the Mazda CX-5, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging.
                                        If you go with the Lincoln Aviator, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Mazda CX-5.
                                     
Performance
                                        When considering towing capacity, the Lincoln Aviator is clearly the choice over the Mazda CX-5 for pulling heavy loads.
                                        When it comes to horsepower, the Lincoln Aviator greatly out-muscles the Mazda CX-5.
                                     
Powertrain
                                        Due to its much higher torque, the Lincoln Aviator does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Mazda CX-5.
                                     
Utility
                                        The Lincoln Aviator offers greater seating capacity than the Mazda CX-5, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around.
                                        With the Lincoln Aviator, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Mazda CX-5.
