This SUV has the great road performance for the price range it's in. The only SUVs that are better on the road are much more expensive. The comfort and technology are top of the line as well. Overall, a great car and a great value.

I traded in my 2014 cx-5 for this 2017 model. Also Extensively researched this model and it came out with highest marks compared to Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4. Looks sharp and little road noise. ... now it has 20k miles and I still love driving it. Update as of 9/19--have 35K miles and I still love it. Car looks sharp and is fun to drive. update as of 3/2020 -- still love it! Update as of 10/2021 … still love it. Am giving it to my daughter and just bought a new one yesterday. This is my 5th Mazda.

I was looking at BMWs and saw the CX5. I found it to be very stylish for a medium size SUV. Everything in the BMW appears to be in this car. Quality leather, electronics, entertainment, safety feature, smart cruise, sun roof, heated seats, custom attractive wheels, smart key, etc.... You get a lot of car for the money in the CX5. Its quiet, smooth riding, and comfortable. I have less than 1000 miles on mine so I can't speak on reliability. I am not giving it 5 stars because there are some minor things: 1) I wish it had more HP. A turbo engine would have been great. 2) The automatic shift lever was not designed very well and could use some improvement. I often get my fingers pinched in the spring loaded lever on the knob. 3) The break peddle is too close to the gas peddle. If you wear boots while driving, it is hard to put your foot on one peddle without it being on the other too. 4) I would like a little more support in the driver seat. 5) and like all Japanese cars, they just don't design around American long legs and come up short on driver side leg room. But it is a fine 4 star machine.

Original review: My previous vehicle was slowly cleaning out my bank account (2005 Buick Terraza aka money pit). I started shopping around for something new as I had never owned a brand new car before. I knew I wanted something in the SUV cross-over class and I set my sights on the 2017 Honda CR-v initially. I felt I better compare and see what other brands had to offer, so I test drove the Rogue, Quashqai (rouge sport), HR-v, Tucson, and finally, CX-5. The CX-5 totally blindsided me. It was no contest really, once I took it for a spin I was totally in love with it. The quality feel was unmatched by all the others and while its not ultra powerful it's certainly zippy enough for my needs and handles like a dream. I bought it with confidence and haven't had a moment of doubt with it since. I hope it holds up over time, and being the second generation of already popular CX-5 designs I'm certain it will. I'm really not a fan of the new Soul Red colour, so I got mine in Deep Crystal Blue Mica and it shimmers in the sun, but looks sleek and almost black in the shade. The exterior has an aggressive looking grill with mean LED headlights and I love that they turn with the corners while driving. The leather interior and all the knobs, buttons, and displays are of a quality I would have expected to see in a lexus or audi and went unmatched by all the other cars I test drove. Rear heated seats were a nice touch too! I'm so proud of my new CX-5 as a first time new car purchase and I just felt really good about the entire experience overall. I would re-buy it again in a heartbeat! Update after driving for 1 year: I still love it and stand by all my above comments. The only complaint I can really make is about the thin paint. I’ve noticed a lot of chipping on the hood and front quarter panels, enough to make a formal complaint. I’m currently waiting to hear back on if they have any solutions to offer me. I’ve also found fuel economy for city driving to be a bit disappointing. Update after driving for 2 years: I still seriously love my CX-5. I’m over 2 years in owning it now and I drive a lot - so far I’m over 62,000km on it! The only thing I still complain about is the weak paint. It chips and scratches so easily, but I’ve heard this is common in all newer cars with stricter environmental restrictions on type of paint used these days (water based). Aside from that, it’s a pleasure to drive and I’m still happy with my purchase! Update after driving for 3 years: Everything is still awesome except for the crappy paint. Mazda refuses to acknowledge any issue under warranty, claiming that it all appears to be rock chips and therefore my fault. I’m now beginning to notice flakey patches in the clear coat of the hood, so I will likely make another attempt with mazda for a warranty re-paint. Aside from the good looking pretty rough, I do still love the rest of the car and have put over 100,000km on it already as I do a lot of driving.

LOVED THE 2016 MAZDA CX5 GRAND TOURING

Love the car so much we bought a 2017 CX5 Grand Touring. In 2 Years we put on more than 60,000 highway miles on the 2016 Grand Touring with not one single problem. It is a very safe, smart car. 2017 has even more safety features. Highly recommend it.
