Posted week ago in Forum when purchased. After 1 week am in love. Great interior, seats extremely comfortable, handling feels very positive. Everything within easy reach. Sound system very good. Haven't checked gas mileage yet but seems good. Has that "heavy feel" in the front end making you feel more in touch with the road while driving. Enough power when merging into traffic. Quiet inside though there is some road noise which seems to come from the tires. All in all compared to the Honda CRV and Toyota Rav 4 it wins hands down. Road trip coming up in a month or so so will get a real feel then. Great vehicle to consider.

My highway gas mileage is supposed to be close to 35 MPG. I have over 5000 miles on the car and have taken several long road trips and I've yet to hit 31 MPG. Are others finding the same thing?

The Cx-5 is a very fun car to drive. At 28000 miles I started to have some electrical problems. I took it to the local dealer and they fixed whatever caused the problems. They don't explain the problem but it happened. Now I have 39,000 miles on my Mazda CX-5. It is reliable and easy maintenance. Even though the electrical problems were pretty bad, since they fixed it, the car has been great. I replaced all four tires and had my 36,000 mile servicing. No problems. I initially leased my Mazda but because it has done so well, I bought it. I said initially because of the electrical problems, I wouldn't buy another Mazda CX-5 but since the multiple electrical problems were fixed, the car has performed great, I bought it. I probably would buy another CX-5 especially since this year, 2017, they have a new model. If you have electrical problems or anything out of the ordinary (look it up online) take it in immediately and get it fixed. Mazda doesn't talk about this electrical thing, but the dealers know how to fix it. Good Car and decent used car.

I purchased my SUV 2 weeks ago. I am currently getting 29-30MPG. I traded in a 2007 Honda CRV and it was the 4th Honda I had owned. Upon doing research on new auto's, I saw the Mazda CX5 and loved the body style. I considered the Honda Fit, but I was disappointed it does not have the height seat adjustment. I am a 5'2 female and the seat adjustment is something that cannot be an option for me. My only complaint is the headrest sit a little high. I seldom have anyone sitting in the back seat, so I just removed the head rest until I need them. I still trying to get used to no key start, but I think my loyalty to Honda is no longer there!

Just purchased a CX-5 touring a week ago and love it! I have been thinking about trading my '03 Ford Explorer for over a year, but could not decide which vehicle would be functional and get good gas mileage. I really wanted to wait for the 2013 Ford Escape and buy American again. After test-driving the Escape, I liked the way it handled and it had a little more power than the Mazda, but it had 2 recalls within 2 weeks shortly after launching, so I decided to buy the Mazda. I have been very happy, so far. Averaging 28 mpg with combined city/hwy driving (and playing around with the manual shift mode). There is some tire noise, but not too bad. Heard it before, but Mazdas are fun to drive!
