Used 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring 4dr SUV (2.0L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Only One Zoom
Though advertised as zoom-zoom, due to its weight is about 600 pounds heavier than my previous 2007 Mazda 3 sedan, I was only able to "zoom" but well aware of its speed is slower than the other 2 CUVs that I've looked at, Outback and CR-V. The CR-V has the softest ride but subjectively I cannot deal w/ it on a daily basis. However, the interior design and features are the best. The Outback appears to be lower and I like the backup camera view located on the rear-view mirror, but I do not need AWD or its mileage penalty. The CX-5 is a good compromise and it's my 4th Mazda. Other than slow, I like the weighted and leather-wrapped steering wheel. Love the price too w/ all the features.
ZoomZoom...
It's been less than a week, since I bought a 2013 CX-5 Touring Edition (FWD)w/auto/ Moonroof. Plus points: Very sports, high quality interior. great milage. I am getting 29 mpg avr driving almost 45 miles a day in medium to heavy traffic. The BSM system is great. Secondly, the handling is very good for a SUV. It handles like sports coupe, and the engine being a 4 cyl is quite adequent. If I wanted a v6, I would have gotten a Lexus RX, but for the value you get in a CX-5 and fact you DON'T need premium fuel, that's a HUGE win.. Bose 9 speaker is awesome. The front profile is very nice, and plenty of room for 5/6 adults.. Bluetooth / ipod integration/rearcamera/ makes it very modern.

Just bought - Love it!!
Bought for family of four. Shopped a lot! Once we decided we were okay with less seating capacity and overall size v. the Ford Explorer, Traverse, etc., the search continued for similar SUV feel on smaller scale, including lower price. Looked at Edge, really liked drive, but had to go with used and not so great gas mileage. So, on to the Equinox and Escape.. the Chevy just felt cramped.. even though good looking it just wasn't doing it for me on interior. The advertised prices led us to CX-5 v Escape.. The CX5 just felt right on interior roomy space, comfort and ease/simplicity of dash.Yet had enuf cool features to feel modern and plush. Awesome gas mileage too!! That alone should sell!
Not reliable in the long haul
It's 2021 and my 2013 CX-5 has 130,000 miles on it (one owner). I change oil and have it checked and serviced/maintained regularly per the owners manual. Over the years, various not-insignificant repairs have been needed, probably spent $7K or so altogether, not counting normal wear and tear things like brakes and tires. Things like a heater (core?) issue for which Mazda issued a service alert but would not cover the repair cost. I have previously owned Mazdas and loved them. This one, has been a dog. Trying to hold out till next year to buy a new car and pretty sure it won't be a Mazda.

Very pleased
Just like most vehicles on the market, there is no place for women to put their pocketbook. Honda CR-V used to have an area between front seats. Please male designers pay attention! My big gripe!!
