ride is bouncy and could be smoother, front seats are not the most comfortable, instrument panel could be brighter, could be a little better with mileage, electronic lift gate wouldn't of been nice for the money

I leased my CX-5 for 3 years and for the price, it was a quality vehicle. Great media controls. The mileage was the biggest drawback for me. I was not satisfied with that.

so far, love my new Cx5..it has everything I wanted in a Hyundai Tucson that would've cost 10,000 more! Go test drive it yourself. The only thing I am not happy with is the radio..it does go in and out depending where you are..but..I have my CDs, my Pandora and honestly I don't need Sirius XM, so expensive..so go check it out..can't beat the price for what you get..hope they upgrade the radio on next years model, then this car would be "perfect"!

Took advantage of Mazda's sign and drive deal back in August. Almost at 5K miles. So, far I love this car. Only the Sport trim was available for the sign and drive deal but, it had all the features I wanted and with the 2016.5 model, all the trims come with the 2.5 L 185 hp engine. The vehicle drives like a car, a sporty one. Handles great and was pretty comfortable on three two hour one way trips so far. Easy to maneuver and park. Great visibility from the driver position and even the lowest trim gets the rear view camera. Averaging 27.1 mpg with so far which is decent for a crossover with pretty good acceleration. I'm able to easily pass other cars going uphill and you toggle into "sport" mode for a little extra boost. Once you get to sixth gear on the open highway, you can easily get more than 35 mpg. The climate controls are easy to use and it is quick to use and both the heater and AC are fairly powerful. The bluetooth pairing is cool and if someone tries to text you while you are driving, it will auto reply with a message that you are driving and can't reply. You can also have the system read aloud the text messages that receive. No problem playing music with my older iPod nano and it is nice you get two USB ports. Rear seating is decent and plenty of storage in the rear. The only things I don't like is the lack of cup holders for the rear passengers and you have to buy the rear storage cover for both the Sport and Touring trims. Fortunately, I found one on Amazon that is half the price of getting one from Mazda. The sport trim doesn't give you all the high tech safety features but, I was fine with that. I was fine with the cloth seats as well. Overall, I really enjoy driving this vehicle and will probably lease or even buy another one when my current lease is up.
