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.

Lots of extra safety features, fun and easy to navigate infotainment system. Plenty of pep for merging and passing slower motorist. Lots of fun to drive. Couldn’t ask for a better car.

Hatchback door a disappointment

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.
