MAZDA CX 5 A poor below average car RUN AWAY!!!
I decided to buy the MAZDA CX5 in Jan 2015 brand new 0 miles, ok bought it, the co pilot seat was very unconfortable, when you sit on the co pilot seat there is no leg room, I am 5'10 and when I sit on the copilot seat I need to twist myself to enter that's bad, then the fabric is one of the worst quality fabrics I ever saw, the carpet was super cheap, acceleration really bad, the back seats were so small that I had to seat with my legs crossed to fit in and if someone else seated with me or when 3 passengers were seated in the back seat was a disaster, the worst part of all, when I got to 40,000 miles a strange sound started to appear from the motor I took it to a mechanic and he told me that the motor manifold was wear off and We need to change that and in order to do that, he needed to take the motor off and replace the manifold, like 2 or 3k repair and of course MAZDA will not accept to cover it because the warranty was only up to 35,000 miles. The radio is the worst, like a 80s' technology, the carpet in the car is the worst quality carpet I ever saw, this car was a nightmare so we trade it for a Toyota RAV 4 and we are so happy with it. MAZDA thumbs down! Your Quality SUCKS!!!!!

WORTH STATING AGAIN DO NOT BUY TECH PKG!!
I did do some research and was aware the Infotainment system was a tad glitchy before I bought my car but it's way beyond that. It is exactly as someone else said...ipod use has stopped completely even WITH the 3 minute time to start a song and the starting over each time you turn on the car. Bluetooth is beyond frustrating...it seems to think I'm speaking a foreign language. And I've had to reset the bluetooth twice. I've had the car one month. I drive a lot and need my music. I'm so disappointed Mazda has let this go on.

Perfect for Picky People!
TLDR: If you came to this page thinking about buying, this is the car you're looking for. Do it! My girlfriend and I were in the market for her first car. She is very picky and only had experience with a Volvo station wagon and a 2000 Chevy Blazer. Performance wasn't a necessity, but she wanted to be comfortable, have good visibility in a reliable efficient car with all the "creature comforts." Of course I started with looking at Honda CRV's and Toyota Rav4's. The CRV was a hard "no" due to all the mom-car accessories. She liked the Rav4 but the passenger seat was a little cramped for my long legs. Then we drove a Mazda CX-5 and she kept saying how easy it was to drive and see everything, and couldn't believe it would get 30 mpg highway. We found a Grand Touring model with AWD that had a CPO warranty. She drove it every day to her first job and we took it on a bunch of road trips over 1500 miles with our Great Dane. It was a great reliable car, never so much as a squeal from the brakes. The only issues we had was with Bluetooth syncing to our iPhones. Spotify and phone calls worked for her, but the Nav system was really bad, and the system was completely not compatible with Apple Music app. Unfortunately we lost it in a flood. She was heartbroken, which says something because she is not a "car person." She loved that little 'ute! Amazingly, the insurance company said it was worth MORE than what I paid for it 1 year and 22K miles ago, so that will allow us to replace it with a one year newer CX-5. I looked at a bunch and they completely revamped the entertainment system to make it more compatible with iPhones and offer Apple CarPlay now for about $200, which will be put to great use. So happy we bought this and will be Mazda customers for the foreseeable future! *update: We have driven our new CX-5 57K miles in the past 4 years and have not had one issue. The updated media system with Apple CarPlay is worth the upgrade! The car drives the same as the previous one and has not had a single issue.

Little red wagon
This car has very good milage, 25 mpg, for its size and mainly urban use. We haul around a large dog in a kennel and it fits but requires putting the rear seat down. Performance is suprizing for a 2.5 liter in a vehicle this size. Realusbility has been great except for the radio/navigation system interface. I now use my phone for Waze. The electronic interface for the entertainment system is illogical at best. I quit using Pandora because I cinstantly had to reprogram or reboot it. Whose fault that is I do not know but the Mazda contributes to the chaos. Snow performance is great and it does well off road in fairly heavy mud. Remember that big dog I mentioned, a weimaraner bird dog, and the little red wagon will go where the birds are

So far so good (aside from infotainment annoyanves
The infotainment system is functional, but has some annoying quirks to it. I'll probably end up upgrading it at a later date
