Watch out for the transmission version of the car, TSB 03-008/15 states an “improper bearing configuration” that will fail, right after the 60k powertrain warranty and set you back $5200! Never again will I buy a Mazda vehicle with such poor design quality!

Way More Than I Expected!

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!

CX-5 Best SUV in it's Class

Wife bought the 1st gen CX-5 GT AWD. I loved to drive it except it was slightly underpowered. When Mazda introduced the 2.5L 184 HP engine, I went and bought my own Touring AWD. Love this car. Agile and fast for it's class. Can take a turn like a sports car. Excellent gas mileage for a vehicle it's size. I've never gotten under 25MPG. Cargo room is plentiful. I've taken on some rough forest roads and the car performs like a rally car. BOSE stereo is excellent. The only negative I would give to the CX-5 is road noise. It's not 'bad' but seems like it could be quieter. I understand 2016 model has improved this. Installed my own factory Nav unit for $400.00. Took 10 minutes.

150000 mile update on 2014 Mazda CX-5

my CX-5 now has almost 150,000 miles on it, and still running beautifully. Engine, brakes, powertrain, all still in excellent condition. i replaced the timing belt and gaskets at !20,000, but nothing else major. i put wetsuit covers (purchased at Costco) on the front seats to cover some wear and lots of beverage spills, so the seats now look almost new. the only complaint is that the Apple ipod connection does not work, so can only play my ipod with an AUX cord - but still sounds fine. Acceleration, handling and braking still excellent. In the past year, I now only drive the car occasionally (using another car for commuting), so cover it and only use it when i need to tow or carry large items. I figure the car will easily last me another several years and at least another 50-100,000 miles.

The little big SUV

I drove a Nissan Altima Sedan (2008, 170hp), then an Infiniti G37 Sedan (2010, 330hp). Now I just bought this 2014 CX-5 Touring AWD. I am surprised how Mazda was able to pack in terrific gas mileage in a powerful engine. The comfort in the cockpit is top notch and I love the Bluetooth Phone and Pandora integration. The blind spot indicators are awesome. Makes me feel very safe and confident. The drive smooth and comfy. Huge leg room for everyone in the car (I am 6ft tall). Overall, it is downright amazing. I don't miss my G37 anymore. :)
