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

Having driven the CX5 for a year I must say Mazda needs to make some changes in my opinion. Handling is very good, fuel mileage is good for the 2.5 and power is pretty decent. Seats are comfortable and driving position has good visibility. Overall not a terrible choice but could be a lot better for the price. Will be looking for a replacement in the next few months.
Sucks!

What a mistake I made buying this POS. The overdrive sticks so although you're hitting the brakes, the engine is revving higher making it harder to control. According to the dealer, this is an engineering problem that all SkyActiv vehicles have. The so-called "high definition" BOSE stereo fades in and out and radio stations with strong signals come in with static (even in high definition). The Bluetooth is useless as it's only compatible with certain phones and the iPhone isn't one of them. All in all, an incredibly bad decision on my part and even worse was the dealer I went to - Palisades Mazda in West Nyack, NY. They are a part of the Precision Auto Group and they are the definition of lowlife car salesmen. Once they have your money, they don't want to know from you and if you give honest answers to their feedback request, they will confront you about any responses that were not glowing. When I raised these issues with them, they told me to contact Mazda directly - in essence, they told me to [non-permissible content removed]. Never EVER again. One year in and I still wish I never bought this car. The Mazda brand pales in comparison to its competitors. They went to the absolute cheapest electronics manufacturer for their cars. Example: blind spot monitors (BSM) go off when you have a divider or guardrail on either side. Then they don't go off when you have a vehicle in your blind spot. I've given up complaining to Mazda about it since they just don't care. You are far, far, FAR better off with spending the extra money on a Honda. Hell, you'd be better off with a Ford Pinto.

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.
