Surprised one of the cons listed for this vehicle in main review is sub-par audio. That's nonsense. I own the Grand Touring with Bose Audio system. It sounded really good right out of the dealer's lot. So don't believe that review, it's crap. Listen to it yourself and be the judge. After purchasing, I upgraded the head, added more subs and another sub amp. But all the original Bose stuff (including amp) is still in there. And it sounds nothing short of AMAZING. I take my sound systems seriously, I'm no amateur. So make your own decision, don't believe the review.

Echoing dissatisfaction with Infortainment System

Navigation system non-usable; Radio clunky to tune, save/change channels; Bluetooth indescribably bad; whenever you place a call, send a text or email with your smartphone, while the car is running, it locks up the audio system - can't change radio channels or audio sources, can't place a new call with handsfree; voice recognition is non-usable. Dealer has replaced the "board", installed software/firmware updates, but it made no difference. Now, another 17000 miles gone and the audio system still malfunctions: regularly restarts itself, disconnects bluetooth audio and cellphone. Seems to be more frequent (day to day and during each drive) in colder weather (<32 deg). Interestingly, the dealer sent me a solicitation telling me that Mazda now offers an interface with Apple CarPlay and they'd be happy to install it for me in my leased 3 year old CX-5 for $200. (i.e, they knew when they put that car audio system on the market that it did not support iPhone audio/cell use on BT.

I purchased my Mazda CX-5 on December of 2014. I was very excited due to all of the positive reviews that I read. Now, I am very disappointed because the transmission went out at 25,000 MILES. The dealer didn't have a loaner and it took them nearly a week to get my car fixed. I should have gotten a Toyota or Subaru.

Dissapointing heated seats function

Owned the car for 1 month and 1000 miles, so far so good, except for the fact the seats don't really warm up. After quite a while they become a tiny little bit warm, in the highest setting. Also own a VW Jetta whose seats warm up really quickly and in the highest setting they turn a whole lot warmer then the CX-5's. Thought there was something wrong with my car so test drove another similar CX-5 and same thing. If heated seats are important to you, as they are to us, as we live in a ski town in Utah, just keep in mind they don't really work. It's as if Mazda did the bare minimum to check the 'comes with heated seats' box. Hopefully that's the only area where they obviously cut a few corners....

I have had the car for a while now.. . I still like it. It is eye catching. It does tend to be a bit noisy. I can't even get started on the app for the car starter. Besides it being a pain in the A## .... there is annual charge for it. Very frustrating...I actually canceled the $85 membership. So I paid extra for this option and now don’t have access to it. I purchased the pearl white Grand Touring with black leather interior. It is so eye-catching. The ride is quiet and it handles great. Sound system is awesome. The vehicle I bought did not come with the remote start and tech option. I had it added and I am disappointed. I thought I could just push a button and get my car started... it's not that easy. First you have to download the app to your smartphone. Then you have to create a username and password. To actually start the car, you go to the app, ... when you finish entering your username and password you log on.. and wait. When you finally get into the Mazda app you then push the start button,.... and wait.... The message claims it can take up to a minute each for these two steps. There is also a panic button, but I can't imagine having to log in when you are in a panic. I would not spend the extra 500+ again. I do love the vehicle and can't wait to see how it rides in the snow. I expect to be a Mazda owner for many years.
