Great family car for young couple

We've owned this car for 9 months now and while there are some things I wish were different, all in all we do love this vehicle and feel like it's a great value for the cost. It's not your standard SUV; it's good looking, sporty, and very affordable for young couples who eventually plan on having kids and don't want to settle for a boring "soccer mom van". I was very much against big SUVs, but my husband needed more head room that a regular size sedan couldn't offer, so the CX-5 was a great compromise. It's a car I feel proud driving because of how sleek it looks and our friends compliment it all the time. There was also next to no learning curve going from our 2012 Ford Focus to this SUV. It's only a couple inches higher so you don't feel much higher off the road than in a regular sedan and I don't have any issues fitting into tight parking spaces. It has incredible handling and turns on a dime. I rarely have to do Y-turns to get around a tight corner. The only nitpicks I have are the 2.5L engine not being as "peppy" as I'd hoped. It does have get up and go but you really have to push it, and it sacrifices a lot of MPG in doing so. We get 25mpg in city and 30 on the highway which is not bad at all for a SUV if you're driving conservatively. There are unfortunately no air vents for the back seat with the Touring model, and this is an issue living in the Arizona desert. The upside is we have a white CX-5 and it's good at keeping the heat out. My husband's biggest complaint is that the base sound system is terrible. No bass and the highs sound muddy and distorted. Trying to increase the bass through the sound system just makes the speakers rattle with no improvement in sound. We chose not to upgrade to the Bose sound system based on the poor reviews. Despite all that though, this is a great car with great safety ratings and I feel confident that it will last many years and be a great family car when the time comes.

CX5... Best CUV on the market

Downsized from 2010 CX9(260,000 miles) to CX5 GT-AWD and LOVE LOVE it!! Has all the room I need and I see up to 32.5 mpg on the road...avg 28+mpg. The ride and handling are amazing... love taking back roads in this thing...the steering is perfectly balanced! Interior details are WAY above the price point! Recommend this car to anyone who needs a bit more cargo room than a sedan and needs AWD in winter! Test drive one...you'll LOVE it!

When looking for a car with my parents, we looked at many great cars. We wanted a car that was reliable, had good gas mileage, had a lot room, and was an SUV. Some of our top choices were the Honda CRV, the Ford Escape, and the Mazda CX5. When we went to the Mazda dealership they were able to promise us all of the things that were on our list for the Mazda CX5. We test drove all of the car and they were great. However, for the price (about $30,000) and how much we loved it, it was clear that the Mazda CX5 was the winner. I have now been driving our 2015 Mazda CX5 for three years now and I can say that they nailed it! The Mazda averages about 26 miles per gallon which has saved me hundreds of dollars. The trunk and back seats are very roomie and passengers are always comfortable. The leather interior is just amazing! It makes you feel as though you’re in an expensive luxury car. I have never had to take my car in for major problems. I am extremely happy with the technology that mazda has put in the CX5 such as the navigational features, seat warmers, voice command, auto lock, some cool “active safety” features, and many more useful things. I drove from Utah to California and never got tired of driving it. The electronic system made it easy to switch from phone to GPS to music. The built in Bose sound system sounds fantastic. However, if you don’t want any music on, the car is extremely quiet. I love this car. My friends and family are very jealous of me when I take them for a ride. I would definitely recommend the Mazda CX5 for people that wants great gas mileage, an affordable price, and to feel like they’re driving a very expensive luxury car.

I have nothing but good things to say about the CX5. The exterior is extremely appealing; interior is comfy; handles extremely well, with a very smooth ride. The cost of the CX5 is much more reasonable than the luxury suv’s That don’t look as good or handle nearly as well as he CX5.

After two test drives and reading many reviews, bought a 2015 Grand Touring for price, have buyer's remorse. Positive features of the Mazda are not unique in the SUV field. Navigation system delivered with the car in December 2014 was not current. Free update took 8 hours to download/install including at least 8 trips back and forth between the car and my computer. The HomeLink system does not function despite many trips for resolution of issue - dealer basically gave up, and I gave up on the dealer. After two years, still no resolution by Mazda. Larger buyers be aware that the seats are too narrow/hard/uncomfortable. Had to make a pad to sit on. My 100 pound wife also had to have a pad. Mileage so far on mostly level highway speeds of 65 mph or less, is is 26, not the 30+ claimed. Steering is so responsive that you may drift out of lane if you glance at the displays. The 19" wheels/suspension provide a bumpy ride. After two years of ownership, with no resolution of "does not work" issues, I will not buy another Mazda. Recommend you consider Honda, Nissan, or Subaru.
