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

I bought a certified used CX-5 Grand Touring. The overall design and look is good for the price. However, the car is underpowered for my taste. But it feels much better when I put the 91 Gas. Very quiet inside the cabin and smooth on the highway, it much quieter than Lexus NX 2017. But the infotainment system stated acting up recently. Mine already started crashing every few hours. Im planning to take it to the dealership do a firmware update. I installed a Apple Car play and I love it. So, I recommend this upgrade. UPDATE: Infotainment system started acting up. There is a known issue known as ghost touching affecting tens of thousands of Mazda Vehicles. Mazda should take responsibility for this, instead of passing the cost of repair to customers. Im not very impressed with the car.

This vehicle is clearly better handling, and displays better overall sportiness over it's rivals. If you enjoy driving this is your vehicle. My only complaints seem to have been addressed in the 2018 model. Front seat comfort/ support was improved, road noise was improved to Best in class. Other than that seems to beat the competition in looks/ style inside and out, mpg and cost compared to Honda CRV, and Toyota RAV 4 , the two main competitors.

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

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.
