We leased this for our 17 year old son. He looked at the Ford Escape and Jeep Compass. It came down to the CX-5 and Jeep. He was leaning towards the Jeep until he drove the CX-5. We got it in the machine gray with the parchment interior and the premium package. We've had many high end European cars, the fit and finish of the CX-5 is very impressive. The handling and look of SUV is what sold it to him. It comes with a ton of safety features. Although the graphics on the navigation system are a bit dated, it works very well. Voice recognition is better then most of the cars we have and the sound system is very good as well. I liked the new design so we waited until its release to make a decision. Glad we waited.

My wife and I test drove the 2017 CRV EXL, which has wonderful reviews, and the car felt "ok" to us. There was nothing really exciting about the CRV, except for the cargo space and remote starter. One week later, we test drove the 2017 CX-5 GT, and we were both very impressed. The interior is gorgeous, doors thump just like a German car, and the car feels substantial on the road. My wife made a comment how she felt tuned and "one" with the car while driving it. I was likely impressed with the quality of the car and felt the power was adequate although, this car could be made near perfect by adding a turbocharger or a slightly more powerful engine. So overall, this is a clear winner between the CRV and the CX-5. We decided to wait few months until Apple Carplay comes out on the CX-5 before we purchase this car. As a long-time Honda owner, my suggestion to all of you out there is go out there at least test drive this car. You will be pleasantly surprised with the driving dynamics and overall fit and finish of the cabin. However, if you are looking at more cargo and rear seat space, look at the CRV, which will be much better suited for this.

Had a 2014 CX5 Touring AWD. Very reliable car but it had significant road noise. Bought our 2017 CX5 GT w/ tech as a new leftover. WAY better sound insulation and many more features including HUD. We were going to get a ‘18 turbo but heard about the ‘new’ cylinder deactivation. Having seen the problems with CD in GM cars in the ‘80’s, I didn’t want to gamble. Interestingly, when I asked the dealer about the CD ‘feature’ they acted like they were not aware of it on the ‘18’s. I’m really glad I got the 2017! So, the car is much more quiet and has all the features we could ask for. The power is perfectly adequate for me; I don’t miss the turbo at all. At this point we’ve owned it for about 18 months and it’s been just about perfect. Only complaint is the sub-par navigation system. We intend this car to be a keeper because we will be retiring in the next few years.

First test drive in the Mazda CX-5 was quite impressive. I had gone to the dealer to look at a low mileage 2015 Cadillac SRX - love that vehicle but this one only had front wheel drive and living in Colorado, I wanted all wheel drive. The Cadillac had some very nice features and a V-6 with lots of luxury and tech toys. I only owned one new car in my life and that was in 1973. I never thought I would purchase another new car in my life. Until after that test drive in the CX-5 that had caught my eye (yes, the salesman noticed)... The CX-5 was just as luxurious and had MORE tech toys than the SRX, my only concern was the 4 cylinder engine (my trade in was a V8). I was quite impressed with the zoom-zoom and only tried out the "sport" mode on the transmission for a few seconds that made me believe I would be satisfied with the performance. That along with the wonderful handling while driving, turning, cornering and stopping convinced me to purchase. Then when new 2017 Mazda ended up being affordable after some negotiating - trade-in - and a great 0% financing deal I drove it home. I have only had it for 12 days, but each day I like it more. Maybe by the end of the month I will have learned to use all the technology (and I am a computer programmer by profession). Don't purchase a vehicle over $30K without giving this premium Grand Touring with premium package a whirl. I think you too will be impressed by this zoom-zoom. After the first year driving locally only racked up just over 4600 miles. Very reliable and luxurious. Took it up into the Colorado mountains via I-70 and was quite impressed by the performance of the 4 cylinder engine. I thought it would struggle on the steep inclines, but it zoomed just fine. The AWD is wonderful when we have our rare ice and snow on the road. The CX-5 handles very nicely on poor road conditions. I am planning the first road trip for my Red Pony in May back to the Indiana area and will put about 4,000 miles on it in a few days. I know I will miss the ride of my previous vehicle (2005 Cadillac DeVille), but am looking forward to having all the modern technology at my disposal. The HUD is very much appreciated but the most appreciated bell and whistle is the cruise control that senses vehicles in front of you and automatically slows down (even comes to a stop!) without touching a thing, then speeds back up to the set cruise speed. Way Cool! I am looking forward to another year with this (still new) SUV and will report back next year.

Like all the bells and whistles in the Grand Touring level. Have about 30,000 miles on car and still enjoying. Great car for long trips or short hops. It is still 5 Star. Over 45,000 miles and still going strong. Over 60000 miles still 5 stars. Over 70000 miles and still 5 stars.
