One of the best small SUV's on the market

AWD is the way to go with this car. Snow mud and rain were no problem. The only drawback is the 2.0 engine. Don't try to pull out in traffic from a stop without a fair amount of space. Great ride and quiet on the highway, handles very well in city and highway driving. You feel like you are riding in a much larger car. I averaged 33mpg combined highway and city driving.

Great gas miles, drivers seat is very comfortable and rides nice. Stereo is ok, you have to crank up the volume while listening to the radio but not while playing a cd.

LOVE

I absolutely loved this car. I didn't know how much I loved it until I totaled it and had to get a different car. Everything about it was great. I wish more car manufacturers made cars that had blind side monitors. They added an extra sense of security. Great sound system also. When I totaled it, it had about 105,000 miles on it (I bought it brand new) and it never needed any repairs. The only negative that I will have to say is that the key battery drained quickly and never had time to go get it charged. I could still start the car just without the convenience of the keys being anywhere in the car. I had to hold the key up to the button and push it. But a small price to pay for such a great car. There's so many more positive things I could say about this vehicle but mum tired of typing lol

No complaints with this SUV. Had this for 14 months now - and still love everything about it. Approx 38000 miles at this time. Replaced the tires in September with different all season tires. Haven't had any problems with the snow we've had so far. Took the vehicle on a long road trip last summer -no problems anywhere. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and sporty SUV to drive! Update to my original review Even after 7 months still loving this SUV. It handles great on the icy roads and through several snow storms this past winter. Have approx. 31000 miles as of now. Driving has mostly been locally to/from work etc. but planning to test it on some longer distance trips before summer is over. Having owned Subaru Foresters and a RAV4 along the way -was looking for a roomier vehicle and one that didn't cut off my vision when turning. Tested Honda CRV before deciding on the Mazda CX-5. The dash layout on the CRV was impossible to see over. The Mazda was the right fit -love how the dash is laid out and the ease of controls. The MPG changes as we drive. Current MPG isn't very accurate - have seen where it registers 99 mpg and then a few seconds later shows 44 mpg. The backup camera is ok but I still always check the surroundings. This comes with a blind spot monitor too-helpful when driving in heavy traffic and when merging into traffic. The interior lighting isn't the best -even turned up all the way up. Agree with other posters this is difficult to get up to speed when merging into traffic or when you resume after a stop. Overall it is great for getting around town to and from work and will be great for traveling as well.

Its worth the wait

This car was never on my list of cars to test drive because of its horsepower and I wanted to drive something more upscale. After test drove the X3, Allroad, RDX, and Escape, I gave this car a try and I ordered the GT model afterward. It was worth the 3 weeks wait and I am loving it. It handles like the X3, it has less power but I can use unleaded gas and I get 30 mpg.
