Rust Already!

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.
Get this car. Mazda CX-5.

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.
