A wonderful small SUV----and still is after 36000

originally looking at CX9. Dealer said best hoped for mileage would be 22-24. Needed better. Bought this 2014 as a certified preowned, 6 mos old, 11000 miles. it is the Grand Touring with 2.5 engine. plenty of power, smooth running, smooth shifting, and best of all great mileage. I was used to a tdi Jetta getting 49 mph. Mazda estimates this engine at 30 combined and 35 highway. that is exactly what I am getting; and actually closer to 36. I couldn't be happier. Interior room much larger than I had expected. I can carry 4 golf bags and their owners with comfort. Here is an update after 18 months of ownership and 36,000 additional all-around miles. It is still a wonderful small SUV. Combined mileage hovers around 28; long freeway only drives around 34. I dropped overall rating for these reasons: Performance: unlike my previous Jetta that still had original brakes after 250,000 miles, i replaced the mazda brakes at 38,000. Let's see how long the aftermarket pads last compared to the factory. Comfort: Still very comfortable. However, when exiting the drivers side, my shoe will occasionally get hooked on the plastic console shroud that extends down alongside the accelerator and runs back to the seat. it hasn't been an issue with moving from the pedal to the brake, yet. Of course, my feet are big. But i dropped a star on the rating for this issue. Interior: Dropped a star here because of material quality. The carpet is cheap. it is as if they took a sheet of flexible plastic, heated it and dropped short fiber on it. There is no pile at all. Dirt and grit adheres to these little fibers and is hard to vacuum. Safety: Dropped a star due to the visibility. i know all the small SUVs suffer here. Thank goodness for the blindside radar, because it is hard to see vehicles in the blind spot. And the front A Pillars are so large that they restrict to the front left and right. Entertainment: Dropped a star here. You pay extra for the Bose, but it sounds no better than my old stock Jetta system. And 100 miles past the 36,000 warranty the separate bluetooth amp went out. Dealer wanted $800 to repair. After my complaint to the Manufacturer, they settled on $80. Reliability: I dropped a star here due to the dealer support. They could have settled the bluetooth amp issue but chose not to, and my biggest gripe is the constant oversell for service items. Value: Still high. A fantastic SUV with low maintenance and high fuel mileage. Overall, i dropped it a star. But i would buy it again. <br><br><br><br>

I bought my car in Oct 2013, and it was ok for about 5 months. I switched from a Toyota Highlander (which I absolutely LOVED) to save on gas. While I realized gas savings over the Highlander, I am not getting the gas mileage they promised. I average 26 mpg tops! On top of that, my vehicle had to be at the service center on 3 occasions, all for the same problem. My push button start would not work correctly. They still haven't fully fixed the problem. The other problems are road noise and no interior storage, and not enough cup holders, which made for a very long trip with my kids. All in all, while it has saved some $ on gas, I don't think I would not buy another Mazda again.

Have owned this car for two months now. Stereo is awful, cabin noise is horrible, it's also very sluggish. The only thing going for it is the looks. Now I'm told the heated seats only work in 63/68 degree temp!!! This was the reason why I bought leather seating. The backup camera doesn't beep when in reverse. I wish I would have chosen the Nissan Rouge instead. The biggest disappointment is the gas mileage, I'm getting about 22mpg, not the 28 suggested!!!!
Fun car!

Just bought a 2014 with all the options (leather, sunroof, tech package, navigation). Fun car to drive! Too soon to rate the reliability but so far we are loving it!

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.
