Great car
We bought our 2015 CX 5 in August . We traded in our 2014 CX 5 cause I wanted a grand touring model. We love the car and it is a hoot to drive. Mileage is spot on and the Pandora woks great. don"t really use the nav system. Can't say enough good things about it. A little trip to the E Bay store for some crome items for the outside and it is a head turner. I named it our Mazda-Rotti. Looks like a mini Lexus
Transmission died after 24,000 miles
I purchased a 2015 CX5 Grand Touring w/ tech package in October 2014. Fast forward to March 2016 with 24,000 miles on it and my transmission died. It needed to be completely replaced. I replaced the vehicle entirely with a Rogue. Pros: -I really like the exterior. I especially like the Soul Red color. -The blind spot warning system is very visible Cons: -Well, the transmission died after 24,000 miles. -The technology (Although, I think they updated it for 2016) was slow. It would always takes 5-10 seconds to switch from FM to XM. Furthermore, pairing my iPhone would take a while, especially during the downloading of contacts whereas my new Rogue downloaded it in 5 seconds. -The Smart City Braking System is useless. It's supposed to stop the car if it senses another car in front of if you are going under 15 mph (I think). It may be useful if you live in Manhattan but for me it was just a giant pain. I work in a secured environment. There is a lift gate getting into work. The lift gate would start to lift and I would let off the brake and it would think the gate is a car and then slam on the brakes for me. I mean, obviously I learned eventually but to me it is a completely useless safety feature and could only do me harm rather than good.

Great vehicle, love to drive it.
I have bought and driven a Mazda CX5 Sport with AWD and the 2.5L engine. I really love to drive this vehicle. I have put on about 6000 miles and driven through all kinds of conditions, on a long trip and daily use. I am in awe of how great this vehicle is. I have the Sport model with AWD and the 2.5L engine. Honestly, it is all the power I want. Whether it is on the freeway or off a stop light, it can move and accelerate at any time. The CX5 handles like a dream, looks great, rides comfortable. Whenever I have popped the back seat down and loaded it with stuff on a number of occasions and it worked great and was impressed on how much could be loaded in.
Wanted to love this Certified Pre-Owned Mazda CX-5
UPDATE: The company replaced one shock under the TSB and I did convince them that both shocks should be replaced, and they did so as a goodwill gesture. I have another TSB related to the Bluetooth head unit that I need honored, and then no further TSBs will be completed under warranty, as that only happens under the new car bumper-to-bumper warranty, not the extended one. Another plus I noticed: I used to hate driving at night, but the headlamps provide such good light coverage that I actually enjoyed a late night drive. My gas mileage has improved since I have had the car, although maybe not quite the EPA rating. The good: it is stylish and fun to drive. I like the backup camera and blind spot warnings. The maybe not so good: My gas mileage for my first tank of gas with this vehicle netted me 21.2 mpg, quite a bit short of the EPA estimate of 25 in town, or even 24-26 in town. My Honda Element gets better and is rated lower! I needed better gas mileage. This is very disappointing. I do not let the car run while stopped unless it is at a stop light or sign, I keep tires aired, I do not charge stops or peel off from them. I am a very conservative driver. I observe speed laws. I see no way to bring this vehicle up to the EPA rating. The first drive off the lot after purchase (and this was after already having test driven the vehicle with no observed issues), first speed bump, chirp, squeak, clunk. I researched known issues with interior design. I could find nothing that seemed to be an issue. Then the seatbelt latch broke. Took the vehicle into the Mazda dealer 36 hours after taking it home. They fixed the seatbelt latch. They said that squeaks and rattles are not covered under any of the warranties, not the 60 day local warranty, not the new car bumper to bumper warranty -- nothing. The service adviser said he would contact Mazda to see if he could get approval to do a diagnostic at no charge to me. There is even a Technical Service Bulletin describing the "chirp" that I am hearing. If this is going to be my experience with Mazda after the sale, I will not be a happy camper. I still am waiting for a determination on the diagnostics an necessary repairs.

Happy with the 2018 upgrade!
I upgraded to the new model, white with white leather interior Grand Touring in May 2018. No problems, love it. Sporty, nicer with more comfortable seats than my 2015 model. I love the heated steering wheel! Rear heated seats are nice for passengers in the winter, plenty of leg room back there.
