I am really, really impressed so far. I switched over from an Infiniti G37 S because I wanted a bit more room with a new baby in the house. It also saved about $90 per month on car payments. I definitely miss the pick up on the G37 but in terms of technology (ease of use and device compatibility) and comfort, the CX-5 blows the G37 away. Few features that I miss are memory for the driver seat positions (not available) and power passenger seat (not available). But I can definitely live without those and overall the car is excellent. It handles well, tight steering, comfortable seats, surprisingly spacious for a crossover, and great gas mileage so far.
So happy I went with this vehicle!

Overall, I have to say that I am really pleased with the 2014 Mazda CX-5 GT with Tech package. I feel like it was a great value and upgrade from our previously owned Jeep Compass. The ride can be a little stiff on bumpy city road surfaces, but feels great at highways. The handling is fantastic and sport-like. It feels like it handles more like a sedan than an SUV. We broke in our CX-5 by taking up to the mountains right off the lot, and it handled great up the hills (plenty of power). I've seen many comments about road noise, and this vehicle was far quieter than others in its class that I test drove. It's a little loud at start up, but that is the rapid engine heating system.

CX5-FWD Touring with Tech/Bose Package

Firstly, heart felt thanks to all the other reviewers for their reviews in helping in my car purchase process. Had to make a decision between the CX5 vs Forester and went with the CX5. So far so good. Car makes engine noise when just started and also on windy conditions, you can hear the wind noise inside the car. Drives real smooth around corners and in city conditions. For me the lack of reclining back seats nor enough rear leg room for adults was not a deal breaker. Forester has better reliability and AWD as standard. CX5 Bose/Tech package is amazing especially the night adaptive halogen headlights. If you drive around poorly lit areas, this will make a ton of difference.
Great Car for the Long Run

I have owned mine sicne 2013 and have put 92,000 miles on it. I am on my third set of tires, and have changed the brakes once (and probably need to again). Other than that and oil changes, nothing. It runs as well as it did the day I bought it. As far as reliability goes, nothing beats it. It handles better than most others in it's class, but it lacks power. However, power and performance is not likely why people buy this type of car. For what it is, it is a great little SUV. The infotainment system can barely be called that. It does have bluetooth and I think the GT has optional nav. But the screen is small and the system is slow. But again, if infotainment is what you are looking for, you aren't likely looking for a 2014 CX-5. If you want to pick up a 100,000 mile SUV that you can get another 100,000-150,000 out of, then this is definitely your vehicle. The styling of it is still up to par, and every bit of crafting on the inside was well done. Mazda has really stepped up their interior game since the late 00's. I would buy this car again 10/10 times if I could go back and do it again. It was a relative bargain at the time and fit all the car seats and junk that comes with a young family!

I was coming off owning a '98 Ford Explorer and owning a 2004 Honda S2000 as my 'fun' car. Took the Explorer in for a funny noise, got a $3,800 estimate and realized it was time to put the Ford out of it's misery. The Honda wasn't going to cut it for daily stuff and I still wanted either a station wagon or an SUV, but was really tired of the 15 mpg that the Ford got. Looked at the Outback and the Escape, but was blown away by the CX-5. Without repeating what everyone else has said, I'll leave you with this: The CX-5 AWD with the 2.5 liter Skyactiv engine is 90% of the utility of the Explorer and 95% of the fun of driving the Honda. I love this SUV/car/CUV vehicle!
