How much would a backup sensor COST????????

The car has side sensors which is a nice feature and it has a backup camera if it is not raining because raindrops obscure the view, but it does not have backup sensors which was standard on many cars 3 years earlier. I backed into my garage door ( I know what you are saying, he is a dummy) but I know other drivers who have damaged their back gate doing the same thing. The rear sensors would have prevented that.

Do not buy this car if you want a comfortable,quite ride with music. Do not buy this car if you take your dogs with you. It collects hair and dirt. The dashboard is made of a black rubber tire. How do you clean that? Do not buy this car if you haul grain or horse supplies. It takes hours to clean. I think the body is made out of Pepsi cans. Every bump in the road you will feel. The road noise is deafening especially when you ride in the backseat . Forget trying to listen to the radio while driving over 40mph. I live in the mountains, so I can't get a radio station anyway. I thought it had Sirius , but of course not. It can't even be installed. I bought this piece of junk for 33,000 dollars. I traded in my beautiful Hummer and would do anything to get it back!!!

I am still in the market for a SUV 5 seater and based on the reviews was ready to give a try to Mazda. Her is my laundry list of why I did not go further than the test drive. 1. No auto rear open hatch, not even as an option. 2. Interior was sparse and not as well appointed as some of the competition out there. There is a plasticy feeling in the car and no real feature comforts. 3. No rear back up sensors available. The positive is the price and it does have some punch to it. Also you cannot beat the gas mileage. We were blown away however at the Santa Fe by Hyundai. Never even thought about owning one, but I am super excited about possibly getting one. The options are many, including turbo 2.0 engine. All of the gadgets a guy/gal could ever want including, Apple Car integration, rear sensors, all around camera view, cruise control with auto distancing, reclining rear seats, heated seats available on both up front and rear seats, cooling feature on the seats upfront, an amazing full car sun roof and one of the best bumper to bumper warranty out there 5 years/60k miles. All at a price is in line or lower than anything out there.

First off, the looks are deceiving. It's a fantastic looking SUV. However, once you start using it daily, the looks become a mockery. I'm going to start with the basics. Cargo capacity, in real life, bites. The slope of the roof and the trim pieces that make it look so pretty are just in the way. It's also deceptively narrow, shallow and short. It looks like it can manage almost anything when, in reality, I've had to use my friend's '04 Subaru Legacy wagon to haul things that most normal people would have expected this CX-5 to manage easily. Now for the really bad stuff: The voice control is total garbage. It's almost like it has a mind of its own and purposely selects the wrong information. The navigation doesn't allow you to forecast out of state travel. I live in Portland, OR and do a good deal of driving in Vancouver, WA (literally a short bridge span away). If I have a destination in Vancouver, I have to wait until I enter Washington state airspace before the navigation system will locate anything. I have the BOSE sounds system, and it is AMAZING! However, there are different volume settings for the music function, the phone function and the navigation function. You can't just set one and forget it. So I can be listening to an amazing tune and then have to turn the sound UP to hear the phone conversation. Now for the REALLY big pain in my behind: The transmission: It's just like having a 1963 Ford Falcon with a manual transmission. Unless you come to a complete stop, that POS 6-speed automatic won't shift down into first gear. I have pulled away from stop signs rolling at 5 mph or less, and the car will not go lower than 2nd. If you're in traffic and need to get around someone quickly, you have to stomp your foot on the pedal and make sure that it connects with some little trigger on the floor before it will make any kind of attempt to accelerate. Otherwise, you're stuck in 3rd or 4th gear after 22 miles per hour and taking your life in your hands. If you're above 1,000 feet you can forget about passing anyone, EVER! You have to have the presence of mind to select 'Sport' well before you attempt to pass in order to get any kind of grunt and performance. The road noise isn't well controlled either, which becomes grinding after about an hour or so. I drove a stripped down KIA as a rental and you could hear a pin drop at 80 mph. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. Mine is a 2016.5 Touring with Moon roof and BOSE system. I paid just over $27k for it (Leased) and I'm turning it in after one year and just over 18k miles. I'll take the hit, pay the difference and UBER over to Ford where I have a shiny new Escape waiting for me. A 1.5L turbo 4-cylinder that will smoke that Mazda all day long and a ride that is compliant but capable. My foolish notion to give Mazda a chance has proven the critics correct. Many told me to look harder at the Escape. I wish I'd of listened. Take heed...buyer beware.

A few minor negatives

Overall I'm pleased with the vehicle. A few minor inconveniences are: 1. Speedometer is a dial not digital. Sometimes it's hard to see your exact speed. 2. The armrest is behind the driver and only a partial armrest. Not big enough to rest on. Other than that I love the vehicle especially the good gas mileage of approx 33 mpg driving country roads.
