Tire warning light problem
mccreery, Saint Louis, MO, 08/06/2013
2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
Overall car is good, BUT, tire pressure light keeps coming on. Dealer has reset it, comes back on in less than 10 miles, dealer resets again and stays off for a month, back on again. I have done this dance 4+ times and is on again! No the tires are not low, no I have not pushed the reset button. I think this is a defect.
Greatest value and performance.

2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
I bought my CX-5 in july, I have over 7,000 miles on it already and it has not made one peep. I drive it like a maniac in a mountainous area and still get average of 26 mpg, which is more than the computer calculated mpg.
I just put it through a dangerous off-road test and it performed admirably. Two and a half inches of snow over grass and frozen mud, it drove through it like on … asphalt on a hot summer day. I have done 125 miles per hour on the highway. I have not seen any reason to miss my V-6 turbocharged car, sure it does not take off on the line but it is not a race car, it still beats most vehicles. The transmission is the best I have seen outside of a Porsche.
Our 2013 CX-5
185911, Hialeah, FL, 10/02/2012
2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring 4dr SUV AWD (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
We have had our pearl white CX-5 now for 7 weeks and could not be happier with the purchase. Mazda build quality is everywhere along with great handling. No..it's not a power house but not under powered and @ $4.00 a gal for fuel that's ok with us. It is just fine the way it is and do not understand some of the talk of lack of power..it zips right along! The rear back-up camera is great … to have..Bose sound system rocks and so far fuel economy with very little highway is 29.5 Mpg...grab one..not the Chevy or the Ford!
Awesome little SUV

This car is the complete package.
Best looking of any SUV and you really do get alot for your money.
I have the AWD, but even the FWD handles like a sports car, but rides like a sedan.
Touring models come pretty well equipped.
It is definitely a little slow off the line, but there is power there if you need it.
The manual mode on the automatic works great, and its just like driving a … stick without the clutch.
If the gas mileage really is 28-30 real world, then this truly is the best all around vehicle.
I did not notice much difference in the upgrade to the Bose, so I stuck with the base radio since I didnt want a sunroof
anyway.
I might say the Bose is only slightly better.
