Beware - my transmission had issues at 80,000 miles . Ultimately had to replace the entire transmission! This has a out of pocket cost of $ 4,600 , the skyactive is a maintenance free transmission, but has issues. Mazda dealer and Mazda corporation refused to help with repair cost since I was out of the warranty mileage (still within the years). This turned me off to Mazda as a whole and not a fan of the engine and transmissions Mazda puts in these cars. I have read lots of issues through forum threads on the internet. I sold my Mazda to Carmax to stay away from further high cost repairs - let me add that I take EXCELLENT care of my cars with maintenance, oil changes ect... good luck if you purchase a CX5

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.

Disappointed

I am amazed that anyone would say this car is comfortable, or fun to drive. I find it to be a utilitarian vehicle at best. Looks nice, handles well, Bose sound system is awesome, but it rides hard, it’s noisy, seats are miserable, and it’s just fatiguing to drive. On a long trip, the only thing I look forward to is getting out. To make matters worse, my CX-5 had a transaxle failure at 74k miles. There is a factory service bulletin on this and apparently 2014-2016 within a certain serial range suffer from this. I was lucky, as my CX-5 was still under the CPO warranty when this happened. All this combined, my experience with the 2015 CX-5 GT is less than favorable. To each his own, but I can’t wait to sell mine.

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
