I love this car, 10k miles here is my review. To start off with whats wrong. Easily the Infotainment is sub par. Mazda doesn't want you touching while driving so you use a scroll wheel. Some things are very counter intuitive, say every time you want to switch radio stations it will always start you from the bottom of the list, to make it quicker if you add favorites but they aren't in numerical order. It takes 20 minutes of driving to understand it and maybe a week to get use to the wackiness. However if guests take control they'll have no idea how to use it and it is always funny seeing their shock with how unusual it it. The easy counter to this, just always have Bluetooth on your phone connected, Spotify or Pandora makes it a better radio than normal AM/FM. And second is Lane Departure Warning/Assist. I have actually turned assist off because it has only ever helped once. Many times I move over due to a Semi Truck, or cars drifting in my lane in a turn, or to move out of the way for lane splitting motorcycles, however doing these will result in the wheel moving back towards the object you're avoiding, it can be counter by holding on tight. But the night i turned it off was when i was exiting the freeway. I was in the left lane of a two lane, left turn lane. The camera picked up the wrong lines and "corrected" me turning the wheel to the right, this happens a little to often because it will pick up changes in the road like old painted lanes or changes in the road concrete or asphalt. I just have the noise alarm on, but that maybe still be a bit useless unless i'm in cruise control because i generally always know when i'm near the line because i am doing so on purpose. However Besides those this car is amazing the HUD is a little bare i wish it showed which turn signals were on, but if they are on and a car is in your blind spot the HUD will flash orange. The BOSE sound is some amazing audio. Its not the fastest engine but in Sport mode it has some, not like 350hp, but a little kick when you step on it. Handling is fantastic, its rolling suspension feels like your flying or on a boat in smooth water. It also looks amazing. There aren't tones of these on the road, plenty of Mazda's CX-9 and 6's but with the large front scoop (with a horrible place to put a license) and no fake front vents, sleek aerodynamic lines (Drag coefficient of 0.26) and nice looking headlights and turn signals. I would definitely suggest at least the preferred model. This car is perfect for anyone trying to stand out, loves an open road and the act of driving.

I love the car, leased it 2 weeks ago on 06/11/2019 had it 2 weeks now, the only issue i faced was a Push to start issue, the car gave me a hard start but dropped it off to the dealer for a service look and it should be all better. I love the luxury interior, feels like I'm driving a BMW and the exterior finishes makes the car look so much more premium, I never liked the Mazda lineup until the 2019 releases!! Mazda have stepped up their game in style and luxury. I gave up my 2017 Honda Civic for this car and no regrets so far!!

Pros: - love the style inside and out on the sedan. - love the way Mazda drives, handles well. - The Bose sound system is great. - I feel safe in this car. Cons: - Tight space, especially the back seats. - The safety features in the US are missing some items compare to other countries. - Missing some basic features even compare to my old 07 Jetta. (heater mirror, car alarm for break in, etc) - The display should have been touch screen as well, for when you're just sitting in the car. After having the car for about half year now, these are some thing off the top of my head. I liked the previous style of the Mazda, with this generation it's takes it up a notch. The Bose sound system sounds really good, I just wish there was a CD player. Yes, a CD player. Because mp3s and music streaming still have a lower sound quality than CD, I would like to see if this system can tell the difference. Make sure to do your research before buying, cause I didn't. I just assume some of the items were standard until after I bought the car. During the winter every morning my mirrors were fogged up, it was then I found out there's no heater mirror on the car. Most cars now a days have heated mirrors standard or comes with heated seats. I honestly don't understand what Mazda was thinking. I still haven't needed the AWD so I can't comment much on that. Personally I wanted a stick shift but I didn't like the hatch style or pay for the premium trim, oh well. Over all it's a nice car but like every car out there, it's not perfect.

Had the breaking problem when new and was fixed with an update. On the 3rd battery now as it has something that always kills the battery. Mazda says everything is good!!! If you don’t drive the car everyday especially in the winter the battery is dead. Must have some huge draw but apparently everything checks out ok? Last Mazda
