This is the best car I ever bought. Period. I said similar things about the 2016 CX-5, but They have completely re-designed the 2017 model. The interior upgrades are SO luxurious, the drive is ultra quiet, and Mazda's can definitely HANDLE the road. You will read some complaints about lack of power, but I find my CX-5 to be pretty peppy. I have driven the CR-V and the Rav-4 and they don't hold a candle to the CX-5. You owe it to yourself to get into one of these machines and give it a go!

Mazda CX-5 GT with premium package. Best in class!

2017 Mazda -5 GT, premium package. 5 STARS Searching for a mid size Crossover, I narrowed my choices down to the Mazda CX-5 and the Lexus NX 200t. I need a spare tire for long road trips. Surprisingly, many premium brands delete this. I am a long time Lexus owner, with my last 13 cars being Lexus. I currently have an ES and a GS. The NX was the easy choice, until I started researching the Mazda CX-5. Although these two vehicles are in a different price category, they are very similar in size and capabilities. What interesting is the Mazda for me was the better choice. The CX-5 is very smooth and quiet. The interior materials are actually superior to the Lexus, and the fit and finish of the Mazda is easily on par with any Lexus vehicle. Where the Mazda really shines is safety. The GT with premium package has all the latest technology with Blind Spot monitoring, Lane departure and assist, pre collision with auto braking, etc. What’s is really interesting is that this is all displayed on the HUD right in front of you. It warns you if you are too close to the car in front of you. It duplicates the blind spot monitors. It shows you your current speed and speed limit. It shows you navigation and turn directions. Its very advanced, and exceptional in this price range. The Lexus NX has none of this for $15k more. This may change for Lexus when the ‘18 model comes out. The Mazda uses regular fuel and gets better gas mileage. The Mazda rides smoother and quieter. My CX-5 has no rattles and feels very solid. The NX service loaners that I have driven, all had rattles from the rear hatch. I like the Mazda design better, but thats subjective. So what does the Lexus have for $15k more? A turbo for more power ( but uses premium fuel), parking sensors, ventilated seats, and telematics. So far I’m really happy with my CX-5. There have no problems or defects, and I actually enjoy driving it. I think this car is the best going in this category and price range. If Mazda put the turbo from the CX-9 in it, it would beat many premium crossovers costing $20k more. Maybe the diesel coming later this year will change that. A little more “zoom-zoom” would be good. Any complaints? I wish the driver’s seat would move a few more inches back ( I’m 6’2”), and it has older style tire pressure monitors that just tell you if a tire is low (as opposed to showing you the exact pressure in each tire). Thats about it. Check this car out and you will be surprised at the value here. Its an excellent vehicle that punches above its class.

This car is a great value for the quality, technology and overall usability you get for the price. I have always purchased used vehicles in the as I am not one to take the significant depreciation hit of new cars lightly, but the combination of an excellent interior, all the tech features you can ask for combined with great gas mileage were enough to sway me to purchase new. One of my main concerns prior to purchasing the vehicle was that it would feel woefully under powered, fortunately this has not been the case. Coming from a driver who has only had 6 cylinder vehicles in the past and places a premium on good acceleration, I must admit the small displacement engine in the Mazda is more than adequate for everyday use. I have not been left wanting for more power at any point. That isn't to say more power wouldn't make this an even better car but nonetheless what Mazda gives you is plenty. I must admit the main selling point for me was the interior and technology. The fact that you get such good quality materials as well as safety features that are implemented in a way that I felt were superior to other brands I tested including luxury models is truly surprising. Do yourself a favor and try one out in the higher trim levels before going off and buying a significantly more expensive luxury sedan or SUV, you'll be pleasantly surprised at what Mazda has to offer.

I compared this SUV verses the Honda CRV top two rated vehicles. Both are great SUV's I choose the CX5 for its styling, particular the front nose, and the great handling (feel behind the wheel). The interior of the CX5 compares with that of far more expensive vehicles. I have the Gt model with heads-up display, all the adaptive safety features and forward display perform exceptionally well. Safety and ease of vehicle entry is the emphasis for us seniors. I have received many compliments on the CX5 candy apple red color.

This is my second Mazda CX-5. I had a 2013 previously and loved it. But the new style, upscale features and comfort won me over, and I had to get the 2017. I am very glad I did. I was debating between this and a Honda CRV, which is also an excellent vehicle, but a very poor sales experience at my local Honda dealer in Princeton convinced me to go for the Mazda. If you need a ton of room and a large family vehicle, the Honda may be a better choice. But, the Mazda drives better, handles better, and (this surprises me) I think Mazda engineering & design has eclipsed the legendary Honda engineers. Every little detail on the Mazda has been so thoroughly engineered and designed that you just feel like the Mazda is punching above its weight class. The interior design & materials are MUCH nicer than any other small SUV, and compares more directly to the Audi Q3 or BMW X3 than to the CRV or Escape. The engine and transmission are so well integrated & responsive that the CX5 feels faster and more powerful than it is. The CX-5 is very quiet on the road, and I am getting about 27 to 28 mpg avg (I drive very little in the city). The Bose sound system is a HUGE upgrade from the system in the 2013, and the safety aids, incl the lane keeping, blind-spot monitoring, and heads up display are GREAT! They are so well integrated into the vehicle's operation, that you quickly just forget they are there and start to rely upon them and how well they work. I have the Soul Red Crystal paint, and all I can say it, the depth and luster of the red color is amazing. To get paint this good in another brand, you need to shop at Porsche. It even shines when dirty! Gripes? Well, the the traction control system is a bit too aggressive for my tastes and kicks in a little too early in fast turns (though the CX5 still out-handles everything in its class). That's about it. When you drive this car, you get the feeling that EVERYONE at Mazda put in lots of overtime to make this car feel like it's worth more than it cost. If your dream SUV is a Porsche Cayenne S, but your budget is less than half of that vehicle's sticker, this is your best choice.
