Very impressed with this CX-5

I am still impressed at the power in the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder engine. Great pickup and can do anything I ask it to do on the road. Ride is firm but comfortable, the steering is responsive, the 9 speaker Bose system sounds great and it much better than on my old Mazda 626 ES. The mileage so far as I have recorded is hanging around 28 MPG. Wonderful. The rear camera seems to be a little less dependable than I had hoped. I purchase additional warranty to 84 mo/100,000 miles , beyond Mazda's 36 mo/36,000 mile

150000 mile update on 2014 Mazda CX-5

my CX-5 now has almost 150,000 miles on it, and still running beautifully. Engine, brakes, powertrain, all still in excellent condition. i replaced the timing belt and gaskets at !20,000, but nothing else major. i put wetsuit covers (purchased at Costco) on the front seats to cover some wear and lots of beverage spills, so the seats now look almost new. the only complaint is that the Apple ipod connection does not work, so can only play my ipod with an AUX cord - but still sounds fine. Acceleration, handling and braking still excellent. In the past year, I now only drive the car occasionally (using another car for commuting), so cover it and only use it when i need to tow or carry large items. I figure the car will easily last me another several years and at least another 50-100,000 miles.

After 6 months, traded it for a Subaru

After falling in love with the CX5 and really enjoying it, some warts really started to show. My commute changed from 55mi a day, 70% hwy to 40mi mostly city and my MPG really crashed. Was getting 30+ mpg per tank, after moving I never saw 20 mpg again. Then there's the wear on the interior - the seats in my 2004 Honda with 170k looked better than the CX5's after less than 6 months. The drivers seat looked beat after 8k miles and stray threads were popping up in the pass seat. The carpet in the rear hatch was trashed after I moved bags and boxes, I hauled tons of stuff in my Honda and it looked better, can't imagine how bad the CX5 will look in 5 years, brutal. Got a great Subaru trade.

A Mazda 6 in a SUV skin

Went to buy a Mazda 6 and since this would be my first Mazda decided to look over the other models. Impressed with the CX-9 and the old CX-7 (looked at CPO models) I decided to look at the CX-5 that replaced the CX-7 last year. At first I was not all that impressed until I looked at the Touring model. For only $1500 more I could get a small SUV instead of a car. So, took it for a test drive and it drove exactly like the Mazda 6. This 6 had a little more pep because of the difference in weight, but this SUV drove like a car and that is when I knew I was hooked. Way to go Mazda. I hope I am driving this for the next decade.

2014 CX-5 Grand Touring, the best ever!

Purchased it loaded with everything possible on the 2014 CX-5 Grand Touring. Its gas mileage surpasses expectation at 28.6 city using cruise control when possible. The 2.5 engine is peppy and responds fast, nothing sluggish about this vehicle whatsoever. Thankfully the rear camera doesn’t beep at you when in reverse up like a Prius, and inside beep would is so useless. (As if you don’t know you are backing up?) The heated seats are nice on cold mornings and warm quickly. The 9-speaker Bose stereo system is symphony quality and quiets any minimal road noise. The navigation (TomTom) is touchy but adequate. I would prefer to see a Garmin navigation system in the CX-5 but that is a personal pref
