Fooled by the looks

What a shocker. Our last four new car purchases had been Toyotas. We were lured in by the sporty look of the CX-5, and claims that its reliability was comparable toToyota's. The salesman hyped the CX -5's maintenance free transmission. About a week after our purchase, the transmission failed completely and required replacement. No support, no apologies, from the dealer. We won't be fooled again. Back to Toyota

Not very happy

Bought the 2015 Mazda cx5 because saw reviews and knew Mazda from the past. I am not very happy, sitting space is absurdly small I am 6' 0 And almost don't fit in the copilot seat, the back seats are too small, no space very uncomfortable, the radio is cheap, the air conditioning is very weak, with 80* takes 20 minutes to cool the space, not cold enough, the car is brand new so Why in the world will not cool down, not a good ac system. If I could go back in time, I would NOT buy the Mazda cx5, consumes too much gas, the rear seats are too small and basic

Great family car for young couple

We've owned this car for 9 months now and while there are some things I wish were different, all in all we do love this vehicle and feel like it's a great value for the cost. It's not your standard SUV; it's good looking, sporty, and very affordable for young couples who eventually plan on having kids and don't want to settle for a boring "soccer mom van". I was very much against big SUVs, but my husband needed more head room that a regular size sedan couldn't offer, so the CX-5 was a great compromise. It's a car I feel proud driving because of how sleek it looks and our friends compliment it all the time. There was also next to no learning curve going from our 2012 Ford Focus to this SUV. It's only a couple inches higher so you don't feel much higher off the road than in a regular sedan and I don't have any issues fitting into tight parking spaces. It has incredible handling and turns on a dime. I rarely have to do Y-turns to get around a tight corner. The only nitpicks I have are the 2.5L engine not being as "peppy" as I'd hoped. It does have get up and go but you really have to push it, and it sacrifices a lot of MPG in doing so. We get 25mpg in city and 30 on the highway which is not bad at all for a SUV if you're driving conservatively. There are unfortunately no air vents for the back seat with the Touring model, and this is an issue living in the Arizona desert. The upside is we have a white CX-5 and it's good at keeping the heat out. My husband's biggest complaint is that the base sound system is terrible. No bass and the highs sound muddy and distorted. Trying to increase the bass through the sound system just makes the speakers rattle with no improvement in sound. We chose not to upgrade to the Bose sound system based on the poor reviews. Despite all that though, this is a great car with great safety ratings and I feel confident that it will last many years and be a great family car when the time comes.
