Bought the Grand Touring AWD in August now has 5,000 miles. I bought the reflex blue color which is hard to find. Get a lot of good comments on it. I love the ride, the stereo sounds great. Good acceleration for a 4 cylinder. Others have complained about the touchscreen but I have no problem with it. I just saw the 2016 is coming out in June. Classic Mazda dealership was great. Will most likely buy another one when i get tired of this one! Now have 35,000 miles on it. Found out that the reason for the poor road noise is the tires. I bought Michelin Premier Tires as a replacement and the car rides smoother and much quieter. Also wish the car had heated steering wheel. Overall a good car and may buy another one in a few years.

We purchased this CX-5 in December 2014 after my 7 years driving an X3. Of all the compact SUVs available in the $25-30K price range, we liked the CX-5 styling the best. Now 5,000 miles on the odometer and I really have no complaints. On highway trips through the PA mountains and over OH flatlands, I averaged 29mpg at 70mph. In mixed driving (local errands, groceries, etc.) I'm seeing about 25mpg. And all this with 87 octane on a high-compression engine. The in-dash multimedia system works great, pairing with multiple iPhone/iPods cleanly and transmitting bluetooth info as needed. The update to the TomTom nav system worked as described on the web guide. Very happy with this choice so far.

I ought a 2015 CX-5 Grand Touring AWD with the technology package. It's been a great comfortable car, but the tech package is worthless and there are lots of issues with it. Google "Mazda CX-5petition" for details. The TomTom GPS would have been great about 6-7 years ago. Including it on a 2015 vehicle should be an embarrassment to both TomTom and Mazda. The system doesn't sync properly with iTunes, always playing the first song and turning off "shuffle" when starting. Bluetooth also has issues. Update: The advertised USB connection to an iPod/iPhone doesn't work anymore. I had a piece of wheel well trim fall off at under 10,000 miles. They insisted it wasn't covered under the warranty, that it was my fault. A shock started leaking at about 35,000 miles. Again, not covered when it should have been. The dealership where I live had been a great disappointment. I won't be buying another Mazda. Update 2: The car itself has been find, with few mechanical problems. The entertainment system continues to fail. The most recent issue is that Pandora (a button on the system that connects with the Pandora app on your phone) has stopped functioning. Many of the issues with the entertainment system could be fixed with a software update, but Mazda doesn't seem to care. When I ask to get it fixed at the dealership, they ignore me and don't even put it on the work order.

The Practical CX-5

This is a great overall vehicle! The cx5 did excessively well over the past winter in the snow including hilly driveways, and unpaved roads. You cant just thank awd but along with the tires it came with from the dealership it drove great! These tires were all seasons however typically you still need actual snow tires to get as much traction as these did, plus with awd i never had any issues. I do alot of 60 to 65mph highway driving and very slow city driving. Mostly a 50/50 split and I am getting 25.2 average mpg. Now this isnt babying it nor beating on it. There are times will i will take off a little fast or be rushing to work but if you baby it a little more than i do and do a good amount of both city and highway i could see getting 26+average mpg. I also went with the grant touring model as i wanted the leather interior, backup camera and sunroof. The sunroof was a I wont buy a car without one and the other things i wanted with the car ended up being of course in the most expensive model. Now the backup camera as well as lane departure warning is great. My only issue is sometimes the sensor picks up guardrails on typically on ramps and thinks it is a car and warns not to change lanes. However other than this every so often it works great. Now the best part about this is how practical it is. It has comfortably and relatively decent space for passengers. The back seats will accomodate car seats well, i am not sure if 3 wide will work as alot of cars dont usually either. However 2 should fit nice. You may have to put your seat up slightly however I drive close to the steering wheel anyways. The trunk space is a plus as it is good for small to medium grocery runs. You will have to stack a bit but it works. Now if nobody is sitting in the back then forget it. With a pull of a lever the seats fold down with a breeze and you will have the space of a small pickup bed. The heated seats work great, climate control is easy to use, it would be nice if it blew a little more forcefully. But thats why you have the moonroof to put back and enjoy the nice warm days. I also looked at the cx3 but it was just a little to small for me. I pack this car with lots of stuff as i lile to buy sell and collect alot of stuff (ALOT) Now for sportyness I beleive the cx5 looks sharp, i do like the newer styles front but not so much the rear taillights on the 2017 and up. The 2015 is just an all around smooth looking car. Rims may come with cool looking darkened specialty ones depending on the version. Mine did not but they are real rims and arent just fake ones with plastic covers like everyone used to have on their smaller cars. Acceleration in first gear starts off a little slow but when it goes into 2nd it beefs up and runs smooth. For highway driving one thing i was able to find in the manual is if you need to really speed up quick, push the pedal to the floor and then some, it will click and automatically down shift giving you a faster speedup. - Now for CONS: Mpg could be a little better but it depends on how you drive and where you drive. When i first bought the vehicle i reset my average for i was curious how a 2 hr trip would go. With highway and main rds and very little back roads and stop lights. Usually a 35+mph drive. My average in this trip there and back was 29mpg! Now with lots of city travel it knocks it down. Still 25 isnt too bad, one key though is dont use cheap gas! My mpg went from 22.1 to 25.2 just by using better gas! I used 87 just once because i was in a pinch and ended up filling it up. I reset the average and it was 22.1 after my tank emptied. Now with better gas and 4 months of driving im at 25.2. You spend more but go farther. 3.1mpgx13 gallons= 39.3more miles. Over 1.5 gallons which which saved you more money than cheaping out. The headlights could be better. Im going to replace them with HID Mazda lights. Easy fix but wish mazda already had these. The 2016 and up models should now have them stock. Another con which i am looking to change which isnt a con if your car has it is the dash oard maintenance reminder settings. Mine is not equipped with this and i wish it did. Where you can look through mpg, average speed, mpg left there may be an option to see your maintenance reminders for oil changes, etc. There were 2 types of dashes model a and b. one of which does have and the other which mine didnt, did not. I wish they all came with this for the cx5. Being a larger suv, even though its not as large as the cx9 its something people take on long trips and vacations,etc. I think they should have had this option for all cx5s for it wouldnt have been outrageous to have them include it. The biggest con of all (JUZT BECAUSE IT SAYS NAVIGATION SYSTEM DOESNT MEAN IT HAS NAVIGATION EQUIPPED) It has the navigation display unit where the cd changer and radio is, however some do and some dont have the chip reader which has the maps which sends the info to your screen. I had to get it installed
