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.
Fun but gutless

I have had my CX-5 since June, and have had fun driving this car with the 6-speed manual transmission. While it is gutless going uphill, mostly I don't notice the lack of power. I tend to get around 31mpg overall, and I'm pretty happy with that. Two things... I wish that the great blue color was available on the 6-speed (my choices were black, silver and grey) and I wish that there was better accessibility in the back seat. My mom rides back there sometimes, and it's hard for her to get in and out.

I loved my pretty little CX5 the day I bought it too. This review is based on 45,000 single driver usage in Northeastern US, mostly highway and thruway driving. I didn't make it out of the dealer lot before having repeated trouble with the TPMS. At 5000 miles the paint began falling off the front. Mazda: 'it's road use' therefore not covered. I recently brushed against the needles of my spruce tree and the needles cut the paint... At 16,000 miles I had to replace the rotors; Mazda: 'it's the ice and salt.' Replaced rotors again at 32,000 and just now again at 45,000 miles... Had to replace standard tires at 20,000 mi. Interior: the carpet is shot, and that's even using aftermarket Mazda rugged floormats. In the city. The leather is cheap and thin, and you can't clean lint or sand out of the perforations. The headrest is still very uncomfortable. Moonroof sticks from time to time. The Bose speakers are not Bose quality; I have Bose at home. There is no light in the rear hatch. Fuel efficiency: 25 mpg overall on flatland interstate driving. It is underpowered at 2.0 and does not safely merge onto thruway with a grade. A lot of road noise in the cabin. If these don't bother you, and that Mazda International WILL blow you off at every turn to not uphold the warranty, go ahead. But there are far better vehicles out there. Wish I had one now.

After years of looking for just the right mix of features, price, and MPG rating I finally found what I wanted - the Mazda CX-5. I wanted an SUV or crossover with high-end features, a MPG rating at or near 30 mpg, for under $30,000. The Mazda CX-5 has it all. I purchased the Grand Touring edition as soon as it arrived at my local dealer's lot. I have 1,300 miles on the car after one month. I am getting consistently getting 30 mpg in mixed (city/hwy) driving conditions. I have not taken a road trip yet, so I don't know what my high end mileage will be for highway driving. I would not buy this car if I had a lot of hills or mountains. The acceleration on inclines is not that great.
3,000 miles and counting....

As a 6 foot 4 inch man, I was worried about this vehicle. However a test drive proved I had nothing to fear. I can easily get in and out with plenty of room once nestled in the soft leather seat. The styling is impressive, with an aggressive looking nose and a well done interior. The sun roof, reverse camera, Bose sound system, and easy to collapse rear seats are also positives. This SUV isn't going to throw you back in your seat when accelerating, but it is quick enough for my purposes and haven't found myself wanting more.
