I have two complaints with this car, the visibility in the front and the seats. There is a big blindspot at the left and right side of the windshield. The drivers seat is very uncomfortable, my lower back and tail bone hurt a lot when i drive for any length of time. can't wait for my lease to end.

After you test drive this car and compared to others you're never want another car. The handling n steering is superb. So much technology and safety features it will blow ur mind. I've never felt so safe and comfortable in my Mazda Cx-5 touring. Best thing is they have so many trim n accessories u can add that it gives u a personalized look.

Our Mazda CX-5 is a great SUV, great ride and very comfortable. We just went on a 2,344 mile road trip, and our Mazda CX-5 performed fantastically. We now own this vehicle for two years, and we made a great choice.

We really liked the vehicle but after test driving the competition it felt that the Mazda CX5 was not structurally as sound as the other options

My 2016 CX-5 has some flaws that make me wish that I hadn't purchased it. Most importantly, it has SERIOUS visibility issues. The overly wide front corner and between front and back door posts are a dangerous obstruction to vision. Not only are they wide enough so that I sometimes can't see pedestrians or bicyclists, but in certain situations they block my view of cars. Less dangerous, but still annoying, are the warning lights that come on for no good reason (if it's cold, I can pretty much count on the tire pressure and TSC/DSC lights coming on). The dealer has replaced several switches without eliminating these problems.

Never Again!!

Never again will I buy a Mazda! This SUV has very poor navigation and entertainment system. They proudly introduced this new system last year but it's really disapointing. It is the most confusing system I've ever had. Does not even compare to the Hyundai's. Another disapointment is the lack of acceleration when you really need it. Sometime when you put the petal to the metal, it can literally take two full seconds to get power.

The driving experience of a Germanen engineered SUV, at a relative bargain price. All Japanese SUVs must make sure they accommodate tall drivers and have decent adjustability of passenger (R) seat
