I love my car, it's great and fun to drive. The transmission is tuned more to a sport drive and holds gears a bit long. But other than that I love the car . It lacks android Auto and apple car play, but Mazda says they're going to add it. Once they do, it would be the best car money can buy

Feels like a lot more expensive car. Very quiet and classy interior. Has many safety and luxury features only found on expensive luxury cars. After 25,000 miles, still best in breed! 60,000 now and still enjoy but could use a little more power

This is my second CX5, this one a GT, previously a Touring version. All of the issues I had with the 2015 have been resolved with the new model. Less noise, a better sound system, updated dashboard and addition of rear cross traffic alert. The upgrade to the GT is well worth the money with the quality leather interior, moon roof, voice activated phone and navigation, adaptive cruise control, lane keep/assist etc. If one is looking for a soft ride, this isn't the right choice as the low profile tires and sporty suspension give a lot of road feel. If you want to drive like you are in a sports car, this is the right SUV in its class. It inspires a lot of confidence when cornering although the brakes in this model are still less than I would like to see.

This cars paint chips everytime the smallest pebble hits it. I have owned this car for less than a year and the front hood is covered with about twenty paint chips! Before you buy this car be sure to google "bad paint on mazda cx 5". My understanding is that the paint is supposed to be some sort of eco friendly paint. I would estimate the immediate decline in resale value of my car to be about $5000

2017's best automotive bargain!

My wife waited 4 months for this car to come out and we are glad she did. Mazda listened to the automotive community on just about everything they criticized and made changes accordingly, not that there any show stoppers with the 2016 version. To me, it looks like they copied a lot of the best things from the european SUVs to make this car an amazing bargain. The interior is so nice it would make an Audi or BMW blush in comparison. And let's face it, that's where you spend your time. Just as well, as the exterior is still a toad in my opinion, despite Mazda's effort to make you think otherwise. Our Grand Touring version, with the sunroof and upgrade sound system option package, has all the latest bells and whistles that we need; the only thing it doesn't do is park itself. But with a back up camera, if you can't parallel park, perhaps your proficiency needs to be addressed??? The sound system is by Bose, and as expected, is a waste of money. A bog stock late model Dodge mini van's sound system (have one at work) destroys this car's system. But then again, I have only heard one factory system as good as the Dodge's, and that was in a bone stock Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo... Makes me wonder if Chrysler has cracked to code on audio hifi and none of the auto rags has noticed or cared, as they don't spill ink on that subject. The engine doesn't compare to anything Honda makes. It's large displacement 4 cylinder lacks that sewing machine smoothness you would expect to have in such a nice vehicle. And the mileage and power isn't anything to brag about either. The average we get is about 31 MPG, and if pushed past 70 on the highway will get less than that. Some of this I blame on the use of a 6 speed automatic, I suspect the rest is attributed to aerodynamics similar of a barn door... As much as I don't like driving with a variable ratio transmission system like Honda and Nissan utilizes, I personally find it very easy to get great mileage with that system, just by paying attention to the sound and feel of the drivetrain. Mazda: If you are going to stick with a traditional automatic, more gears are needed now to stay competitive. It's too bad they didn't provide the option of the turbo motor from the CX-9; that would make this vehicle unbeatable. But Mazda has always had issue with providing killer options in the engine department; for proof look no further than the Miata. All of this is nitpicking. Dont walk away without taking a close look and a test drive. If you buy this car like we did, every time you drive it you will marvel at how Mazda provides so much vehicle for so little money. Amazing.

4 of 5 people found this review helpful
We test drove a Honda CR-V and an Acura RDX, and Mazda drove much better. This little SUV isn’t the quickest, nor the roomiest, nor the most fuel efficient, but it drives fairly good. It is quiet on the highway. Some negatives to consider: the car is underpowered and the infotainment is a joke. Some positives to consider: it has been very reliable, the ride is quiet and compliant, and the Bose sound system is decent for this price range. If you are cross shopping, please do yourself a favor and drive an Audi Q5, BMW X3, and a Lexus. I think those will cost more but fix all the negatives with this car. Update: We have about 28k miles on our 2017 Mazda now. The good: highway comfort is good, the fit and finish hold up well. The bad: The entertainment system is a total junk. There is an option to upgrade to an Apple Car Play for $400 but we have not done so. The lack of power from the engine is another smaller negative. This car could really use some extra power. Overall, we'll keep this car until the wheels fall off but in the future we'll buy a Lexus or an Audi Q5. UPDATE: The CX5 now has 36k miles. No problems. We just complete the wearable items like tires, oil, battery. No issues and the same gripes about inadequate power from the engine and the infotainment system is a total junk. If you are shopping for a vehicle, consider Lexus RX or an Audi Q5, although the newer Mazdas suppose to be a big improvement over the 2017s.

I owned a 2013 Mazda CX5 Touring when they first came out and then I purchased a 2016 Mazda CX5, but this time I moved up the Grand Touring, then I just bought a 2017 Mazda CX5 Grand Touring. Also each of the cars I purchased was the same color a Silver Gray. The odds of buying not only the same car, same model and basically the same color are extremely rare and that speaks for it's self as to how good the car is. Plus my wife bought a 2013 CX5 2 weeks after I had bought my 2013 CX5 and she loves it. So I look at our CX5s as family.

After shopping the other suv's out there we settled on Mazda's Grand Touring CX5...love the red color and the fit and finish. We had a good test drive, no problem. However after picking up the one we ordered and driving it about 10 miles were were slowing down for a flagger at a road repair situation. Just as we got to the flagger he stepped in front of the car to move the sign from slow to stop. Don't know what went wrong but thankfully we were going slow and had my foot on the break but as the man stepped in front of the car the car revved up to 4000rpm. I immediately put the car into park but the engine wouldn't slow down so I had to turn the engine totally off. It was a dangerous situation and could easily have ended in disaster. When the flagger waved us forward I started the car and drove a bit up the road....called the dealer and had them pick the car up. The eyesight not only didn't work but reacted in the opposite of what it was designed for.

Buying a New CX-5 without XM

I was very Disappointed to find out after i purchased a 2017 CX-5 Touring with BOSE System that the car is not equipped with XM radio. It comes up on the display but its Grayed out, i assume just to let you know you bought the Cheap version of the SUV. I guess Mazda feels 30K is Cheap and we would not want XM. I own Three other cars. VM with XM. Chevy Cruse with XM and My 2016 Mazda 6 Touring. the 2015 Mazda CX-5 i turned in did have it. I have recommend MAZDA to all my friends and Family plus the dealer ship is one of the best i have ever used. Due to this i will still recommend Mazda but i will let all know if you want XM you will need to look at other MFGs.

We bought a new CX5 in 2017. Since then there was a problem with the engine (that took a while to resolve). The car would shake until they figured out it wasn’t properly mounted which they resolved. Now I’ve noticed rust streaks on the inside panel of one of the doors—I’m not impressed.
Love this vehicle!

I read articles and watched YouTube videos on the CX-5 and I would agree that it is one of the best or the best in compact SUV’s. Beautiful design and the interior is the nicest I have seen in this class SUV’s. The ride and handling is superb and very quiet. Definitely worth to check out!

Greetings!, I was here before, Reviewing my 2016 CX5 Touring, I have since traded it in for a 2017 CX5 Grand Touring W/premium package W/AWD.(my '16 had 65000 miles, the '17 had 23000 miles) The difference is like night and day, this car is even more fun to drive, if possible than my last one! Very nimble, and much smoother than the '16 (I am keeping in mind that the '17 is a higher trim than the '16) And I can't tell why sites like Edmonds, and others bash the CX5's acceleration, this ride gets to 60 in a hurry and sounds good doing it, and I'm not even using the Sport mode. Another thing is the sound, the Bose system is fantastic! The annoying thing about the '16 (also Bose) was the poor mounting of the dash center speaker, it vibrated on the heavy bass notes and drove me nuts! But not so with the '17, everything is solid and this model has a sub woofer. The heads up display on the windshield is cool and informative but not distracting, the navigation system is great, at least, I really like it, especially like how travel information is configured on the heads up display. The "radar" cruise controll and smart city braking all work very well, as do some of the other "driver assist functions" but I turned most down or off, I prefer to be the one driving the car. It's been about two months since I got it and drove about 2400 miles, Just love this car, hoping to get at least ten years or 200,000 miles out of it. Will let you know :) ,

I did a lot of research before buying this car. I spend over an hour each way to and from work and comfort and reliablilty were a must. I also wanted a luxury type car but couldn't bring myself to pay more than what I thought I should ( for an RDX) I'm a dentist with a lot of student loans. I was between a Jeep Cherokee and the Mazda CX5. Hands down, the Mazda was a better drive, quieter m, with more bells and whistles and a better resale value. Plus an amazing deal of 0% financing for the 2017 at the time for 63 mos. I love driving the car and am so happy I went with this one...I've had it one month now. You won't be disappointed. I had no idea Mazda was so fun to drive.

All in all I am impressed with this CUV. Styling is excellent in through out. Ride is just about right though it does not handle as well as with other SUVs I have driven at the higher speeds. Engine is very quite at idle where it feels it is not on. The only complaint I had is when I first bought it, the CX-5 was smoking quite a bit. I thought I had an engine oil leak, however after driving more that 600 miles the issue went away and no longer smoking. I check for leaks and NO oil leaks. The same issue happened driving the test car. This issue lasted a little longer than usual for a new car. The smoking is gone, looks like the engine has worked itself in, and I am very happy with it now. I am use to the center console buttons where they are now intuitive. I average about 26mpg at this time.

I got the touring model with the premium package in blue mica. This car handles really well. I like the manual shift option. The bose sound system is fabulous and the Pandora app. The storage was a little smaller than I expected once I stored my belongs. I would have liked the side mirror defrost option but that was only an option with the grand touring. I am planning on getting the rear privacy shade accessory since this does not come standard with the vehicle.

There's nothing awful about this car, but there's nothing special despite the reviews you might read. The visibility is pretty lousy. There are a lot of techno gizmos in the car that are mostly superfluous. I'd love my old radio back from my 2002 Jeep Liberty over the overly teched up, but difficult to use system in this car. Oh, sometimes the electronic ignition just doesn't work. That's why I'm writing this review right now, because my key suddenly does not function and the car is 11 months old and has just 8500 miles on it. Typical for this car. Too many modern appliances and not enough thought in making it work well. One good thing ... my wife hates driving it so much that she won't take it out. If I had to do it over again I definitely wouldn't have bought it. My advice? Neither should you.

The bright infotainment screen is very distracting while driving. Too many things to take your eyes off of the road. Should have a CD player capability or option. It is difficult to understanding the door locking system...are the doors really locked when you exit and leave the vehicle. The engine is surprisingly peppy and road handling, turning radius are very good. The cargo area is more than ample. I only have 700 miles on the CX-5 so I can't address reliability. A bit too expensive in my view.

Love the drive and ride experience of our Grand Touring CX-5. The reliability has been the concern over the last 6 years. We have had multiple electrical issues with the Info-system & Nav systems that Mazda never really able to fix. Both serpentine belts already had to be changed at 51,000 mi. CV boots already falling apart. I guess we are used to our other 2 Honda’s which seem to be much more reliable..

As the passenger, I handle the Navigation Sytem while my husband drives. Because you can't add new destination while car is moving, I have no access to that function. So we now use our portable Garmin 99% of the time!!! And as a passenger, you are blinded to all the driving instrument panels. Very inconvenient if you are trying to help a new driver!!!

Bought the car brand new. The transmission and electrical system in this car are horrible. Multiple trips back to the dealership with two new transmissions and it is still a piece of junk. The infotainment system has been broken for months waiting on a part. Worst thing is Mazda and the dealership do not stand behind their cars. Save your money and a headache and never buy this car. I would give it a big fat 0 if it would let me. Total garbage!!!

Handles like a European made car. Interior trim is very good. The battery suddenly died for no explainable reason around 15 months and 18,000 miles. The local dealer did not have a clue why but replaced the battery under full warranty at no cost. The cars navigation system is basically worthless and we use Google maps or Waze on our Android phones instead. The dealer price quote of $650.00 to install the now approved Android Auto on this 2017 Grand Touring CX5 is entirely too expensive and we will continue to use cell phones instead.

There is really not much to say wrong with this car see the gas tank is only 12 gal. But, the good things out weigh the bad. I wish the gas tank was larger making fillips more often I will put up with stopping more often, a minor issue, to drive a great car. Every option is available and the Mazda skyactive engine runs great and it is very reliable. The car is very well built and there is no noice to bother the occupants . The back provides plenty of space and the rear seats ford down to give you more than enough space. Researched this can and I can honestly say I am completely happy with this car.

I bought a used 2017 CX-5 in January 2021 with 30k miles. It is the best looking small SUV on the road in my opinion. I have made 2 trips in it already and the gas mileage was over 30 so I am pleased with that. It is roomy and comfortable for me. Very quite and has a nice smooth ride. My favorite creature comforts are the heated seats and Bose stereo. The only issue I have had is the nav/entertainment system has lost its mind a few times. I will be getting that checked out very soon.

Leasing a 2017 Mazda CX5. Love the change in hatchback door lifting & closing automatically; after all, this change was due when other SUVs had it already....BUT.....this hatch door does NOT lift up high enough. Must bend & be cautious of hitting my head when loading this area, just too annoying overall. Other SUVs raise higher. I'm only 5'3"! This is a safety issue as far as I'm concerned. Raising the height by replacing "lift bars" should be considered a recall for safety reasons alone.

Don’t be fooled by zoom zoom. This car all years and all models is built like a tin can. Multiple issues including rattles, cheap interior failing apart, leaks, mirror, and hood that bounce and float. The seats are flat, cheap and non supportive. Dealer network is horrible. I have 68,000 miles on it and can’t wait to trade it in. Don’t be fooled the redesign is just body restyling. The nav is juvenile. The tech is less than any other competitor. Pure junk.

Well after a week of driving my CX5 I am finally sitting down to write my review. I wanted to give it time to see how I felt and I am very pleased. I went into Groove Mazda on Labor Day looking for a new ride after 13 years of driving my great car. It was time to say goodbye and hello to Mazda. Right when I walked in, I was greeted by David who soon introduced me to Jason. He was super helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable as he told me all about the models. I asked a lot of questions and he went out of his way to answer them all. The CX5 Touring rode very smoothly and had a very so many new bells and whistles. The size, the monitor, the legroom, AWD option, and the cost impressed me. When I finally made my decision on a different color from white to gray, Jason found me my car. It took a few days to come in, but he called me right away. The staff at Groove Mazda especially Jason and Sarah can take the sourest of kumquats or most cantankerous of customers and help them find the right fit with a friendly no-pressure touch. Lisa helped me figure out finances the first day, yet Alex really helped answer more questions and worked his magic to help me get the best deals possible. I appreciate all of their help and just love my new car. A week in and I am still figuring out some of the buttons and how to lock my hatch, but know where to come for assistance and a friendly face. The CX5 Touring has great ratings and I have just added another one.

Still Trying To Decide

I test drove the CX-5 Grand Touring along with others in this class and price point. I've narrowed my choices down to the CX-5 Grand Touring and the Hyundai Tuscon Limited. Love the sleek look of the CX-5 inside and out. Some features missing that Hyundai offers are panoramic moonroof, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and Apple Car Play (though Mazda says Apple Car Play is coming). I love the look and the driving feel of the CX-5 over the Tuscon but I love those added comfort and convenience features that the Tuscon offers over the CX-5. Still waiting to see which car maker if either can fill in the gap between the two first. Will wait to see what comes from both in 2018 and 2019.

Very poorly designed center arm rest is too low and positioned back to far to be useful. AC vents are too high to effectively cool the passenger cabin.Front seats are not adjustable to provide comfortable ride. Poor dealer support. Owner's manual written in badly translated English. Many of the instructions don't make sense. Never another Mazda.

I felt the acceleration was okay. Did not like the choice of interior colors. Drove nicely, but I did not purchase the car.

I was very surprised that after spending 28 thousand dollars for a vehicle you can't even get xm radio. Not that I want mazda to even give me three months free but I have to buy a Sirius radio to put in my brand new vehicle. This may be my last Mazda if they are going to be that cheap!!!!!!!

We recently purchased a 2017 CX-5 Crossover Grand Touring from Modern Mazda. We could not be happier with the vehicle and staff. Our experience was so pleasant. We had John “Fish” Salmon as our salesman. I highly recommend going to him. Absolutely no pressure, very knowledgeable, caring and overall a great guy. We have purchased 2 vehicles from Modern Mazda and John “Fish” helped us on both. I also enjoyed the free coffee and snacks in their newly renovated customer area. A+ experience.

I currently own a 2014 Touring CX-5 and love it! I was considering trading it for the 2017 until I saw it in the show room. I was shocked at how much they had changed the exterior. It now looks more like the CX-9. What I really liked about the CX-5 was the fact that it was a small crossover SUV. It no longer looks like a crossover. The new design is ugly and too big. They totally ruined the appearance of this car. I'm so disappointed!

We bought this 2017 CX-5 GT brand new and it now has 28k miles. PROS: Comfortable, quiet ride, handles well for an SUV, reliability. CONS: it is underpowered, which was fixed in 2019 I believe when Mazda added the turbocharged engine. If you are in the market, you may want to look at the model years with the turbo engine, which really solved the major gripe with this car. Regular maintenance is super easy to perform on this car, unlike my German cars, which tend to be overengineered. We took the Mazda on a 1500 mile trip and the comfort was wonderful. The car did struggle in the mountains so a turbo or a 6cyl engine would make this SUV perfect. If you are looking for great handling, you shouldn't be looking at an SUV anyway. My VW GTI does everything this car does plus it has a great handling.
