Rideshare Driver
This car is my wood-burning stove. I’ve put 200,000 miles on it in 3.5 years. Only problems were an ignition switch replacement and handbrake replacement. Other than standard maintenance, one battery replacement, and a belt replacement (all done according to schedule), this car has not needed anything. My riders are always shocked it has so many miles. I get about 24-32 MPG. And I do a LOT of driving—Pittsburgh, Ocean City, DMV (DC), and cross-country.. This car can be truly driven.

Zoom-zoom with room
My wife previously owned a 2010 3 hatchback. We loved that car. I loved that car even though I am 5'10", and 220 pounds, I fit comfortably in that car. But my wife wanted something bigger, and when the CX-5 came out it was the perfect choice for her. I like the CX-5, but wonder where the memory seats went? Mazda please explain the silly logic of eliminating memory seats??? The 2013 3 had them. My wife being 5'4", and me being 5'10", you can understand my dilemma. My wife's GT has everything, rain-sensing wipers, rear camera, Smart-Assist Braking, Bose, navigation, but no memory seats!!!! Not an option on the CX-5. It is her car, but I picked the color: Solar Red. Gas mileage so-so

ZoomZoom This Car is fun in the twisties.
We drove a 2013 last year did not like the weak engine. We bought this 2014 GTAWD fully loaded after we were blown away by its handling. This car is just flat fun to drive on twisty roads. It's also good on the highway too. But if you can't get into a MX-5 anymore the CX-5 is the car for you. Its an SUV Miata....
Brake problems
I was surprised to hear a grinding noise from rear at about 2 years and a few months after ownership. I'm not an aggressive driver who is constantly accelerating and braking, i maintain constant speeds with very minimum soft braking. my fears were confirmed when the dealer confirmed that my rear brake pads and rotor has to be replaced at ~ 34K miles and these things are not covered under warranty. just do a simple internet search on mazda cx 5 and brake problem you will receive many many hits. complained to mazda usa and nhtsa. my nissan rear brakes lasted for about 5 plus years approx 65K miles before they were replaced. this suggests something wrong with mazda cx 5. another issue im facing with this car is squeaky seats , they started after the first year.. it is very annoying.. all seats squeak, so suggests some bad quality material and design... another issue is some constant rattling noise from rear side... dealer is not willing to look into this in much detail. he wants me to leave the car at shop for few days before he can get to it... just living on with this annoying noise... Update 06/2016 Mazda agreed to cover parts cost for brakes replacement this time, but dreading more frequent replacements in future.. The squeaky seats and rattling noise have not aggravated so okay for now.. Almost Hitting 45k miles .. Everything else is good go

interior changes you should know about
There have been new updates to the interior as of November 2013 on the 2014 cx-5 model. I just purchased a white GT with Tan leather interior. The transmission shift gate has been greatly improved to a straight up and down shifter with a leather boot and chrome surround. No more cheap plastic look. I was pleasantly surprised when my CX was delivered to the dealer as I was not expecting this.
