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

At 64,000 miles transmission needs replacing. That says it all.
Dislike the AC

A few things to point out after owning this car more than a year. 1. AC system. Front windshield defrost will ONLY turn on when you use external circulation mode. When I need to defrost, I am also bringing in the exhaust from the car in front of me. 2. 180HP on this vehicle seems not enough power when passing on a freeway. (personal)
Acceleration problems

I have a 2015 Mazda CX-5 so afraid to keep driving this car. Mind you that I like this vehicle but its nothing considered best a good vehicle. #1 The acceleration is very dangerous my car started revving up higher at 2,000rpms plus the speedometer went nuts and transmission jerked extremely bad to the point thought was going to die. Interior is comfortable like all features in my car but overall other things don't trust it's a defective vehicle that needs to be off highway ASAP- It had almost caused my life took into dealership it came from computer wiring problem. #2 Now experience transmission jerking bad nearly almost rear ended by 18 wheeler after it slowed down to 25mph. I had a 2010 Ford Fusion with this same problem will not deal with another vehicle having same identical problem as my 2010 Fusion. This time it's much worse to the point think might get sued by another motorist or get killed because it's very dangerous driving will not purchased another Mazda again after all these bad electronics having out a vehicle brought last year has 15,000 miles this will be the 3rd time taking it back into dealership for a bad issue.
