Love it
My wife is the primary driver and she loves it. Her only complaint is the headrests that push her head too far forward. With my broad shoulders it isn't an issue but I think those with slim upper bodies fit deeper into the seat and the headrest becomes an issue. When she drives we turn it around backwards. Other than that she loves this vehicle.

Almost 4 years, and 78K miles later
When I first started looking at crossovers in 2013 I looked everywhere but what eventually sold me with this car was the turning radius and handling, I used to like my fast, sporty cars and this one was a great transition. Since then I have driven this vehicle from Florida all the way to California (starting in Houston, TX) and have not had any problems besides the FOB and brakes. Be careful with the FOB, your car will do REALLY weird things when the battery is low. My brakes had to be completely replaced and rotors turned at 70K miles. Seat comfort is not very good, I haven't seen or sat in some of the new models but I'm hoping it doesn't cut off circulation in the future because I'm hoping to buy a new one next year with AWD. However, I don't mind because I just love driving this car. I actually drove the PCH with it and man, was it fun! Gas mileage is also great, and I never had issues accelerating and braking which is very important in Houston, TX. I always have plenty of room for all my junk, and this is a FANTASTIC road trip car even with just FWD. Literally not a single issue when driving it through Death Valley and mountains in mid-June. This was a good first car purchase, just wish I had gone with the Grand Touring over the Touring and gotten a different exterior color.

CX-5 SAVVY
I have had this car for about a month and I am please so far. It is a smooth ride and I feel safe in it. It has plenty of room for all the riders and in the cargo space. Easy to accelerate and brake. I love the navigation system and the digital radio. Happy with my purchase!

Nice small suv, not good on gas
I bought my CX-5 last summer after doing a lot of research to find a small suv that would get good gas mileage. I thought I had made the right decision but now I'm thinking I made somewhat of a mistake. I like most things about this car, the way it handles and it's comfort and convenience but mine is getting lousy gas mileage. Mazda claims I should get 26/35 but I'm generally only getting 20mpg! Even my dealership was questioning this low mileage. They have checked the car over but found nothing wrong suggesting that I use a better grade of gas. I did so but it made no difference. My BMW 325i I traded got better. I'm really thinking of trading this car as I'm disappointed in Mazda's claims.
Great engine and dependable. Some flaws.
Great engine, transmission and suspension. Not impressed with body robustness. Great cargo space, however very poor cabin storage. Noisy on highway speeds (60-70 mph). Looks like some flaws are part of the 2016 upgrade.
