MY CX-5 - NEARLY PERFECT
Have driven my Grand Touring 2014 for 5,000 miles now. The good: handles wonderful, brakes are great, visibility excellent, comfort very good. No complaints on build quality, style, or driveability. It's not perfect but was the best choice for me relative to its competition. Major surprise is the driveability of car. I did not really expect it. 2.5 is a little beast (that's good). Major disappointment is the radio, gps, and gas mileage.
You're gonna love this car!!
Got our CX-5 a week and a half ago. We had a Honda Civic prior to the Mazda, and wanted a car that didn't require Vaseline-ing myself to get in and out of. This car meets that requirement and much more. I agree with all of the 5 star reviews for comfort, power, gas mileage, safety, fit and finish, good price, and fun to drive as a bonus. Just like many others, I did my homework, checked out the competition. The CX-5 was the favorite pick. Drove the Rogue SV and was disappointed in the cheap look of the interior, plus the ride was mushy. Considered the CR-V, but Honda's don't live up to the mileage ratings, besides being kind of bland.

Childhood dream shattered
I bought the showroom car because it was the only one available in bright blue. I grew up with the Mazda commercials that always ended in the catchy slogan “Mazda, zoom, zoom!” And I had high expectations for this vehicle but alas I was sadly disappointed. I would not buy a Mazda again after my experience with this car. Within 2 years of owning it (at about 40,000 miles) the steering wheel started shaking (vibrating) when gently breaking at high speeds. I took it to a Mazda dealer, and they checked it and had no solution. I thought it might be the break pads so I had those changed… no luck with the problem. The car is an exceptionally bumpy ride, so I took it to the dealership to get the struts replaced. They told me the struts were fine, and recommended I wait. The front headlights panel is confusing and hard to decipher what setting you’re on. The shifter had to be replaced in year two because it just stopped working. And the USB charger stopped working in year one for no reason and I had to get it fixed. I will not but a Mazda car again.

Had to keep working on it..
70k miles on this one. I use this vehicle for work purpose too so racked up highway miles pretty quick. Mostly around soiutheast region. Expected better reliability from Mazda. I never owned one before. At about 45k miles needed new brakes and rotor resurfacing. Had a leak on the front A/C condenser (which was not the car's fault though). I think some debris flew right into the opening of the front air intake. Should have been a better protection there. At 68K miles my front bearing is failing. Nothing dangerous at this point, but I am getting ready to replace it. The tires (Yokohama) did a good job lasting 70k, but replacing those too now. I love the BSA (blind spot assist) on this car which I think mazda introduced so perfectly on that year. Driving is fun since i think the handling of the car suits my need, but acceleration should have been better. Car needs to be quieter too. I never got more than 28 mpg on the highway, i.e because you never drive at 60 mph on interstates for which that number is rated on.
