I love the 2017 CX5 - so many improvements from the 14 including. Much quieter - double pain windows, better handling - flatter cornering, all the latest driver assist, adaptive cruise control, lane departure, BSM, great back up camera

Except for the GPS 's confaluted software , this car is just about perfect . After 30,000 miles of 30 % local ,60 % two lane highway, and 10 % limited access highway driving , the average is 29 mpg . That is far higher than the EPA estimates .The car is a joy to drive with great steering feel , a responsive chassis and good braking .The quality of materials is top notch and so far the reliability is flawless .The transmission is very responsive . I have had no issues with the performance of "city braking ", radar cruise control, and lane assist .The 2017 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring is truly awesome .

Took a long time and drove lots of vehicles before selecting this Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD and I LOVE IT!!! It's super fun to drive with tons of zoom zoom but has such a phenomenally quiet smooth ride even all my passengers comment on it. The technology I thought I'd find annoying is actually helpful and the audio system rocks! Everyone who has ridden in it regardless of age or size has been very impressed including tall back seat passangers. Already hauling stuff in it and it has more usuable cargo space than I expected. Haven't had a single problem but it's too soon (5 weeks) to really comment on reliability. Wish automakers could/would make AWD autos with better gas mileage - Tesla might have to be my next car - but this performs with the rest of its class and I couldn't dream up a better car. Great job Mazda engineers!!! Go get one for yourself.....

Zoom Zoom in an SUV? Now I say very smooth.

We purchased our CX-5 Touring with preferred equipment package (moonroof, Bose, navigation, power lift gate, etc.) new in December 2017. The main competitors that we shopped were RAV4 and Ford Escape. We ruled out the Escape pretty quickly because my wife did not like exterior design. They can get pricey with the bigger engine and nicer interior features. The RAV4 seemed dated in the interior compared to Mazda CX-5. The Mazda also felt more energetic (better acceleration) and less noisy. The Toyota definitely had more back seat room, but we sacrificed the space for nicer interior materials with a more modern look. Also, I found the Toyota front seat lower cushions to be uncomfortable during our test drives. We now have just over 15,000 miles on our Mazda, and we continue to enjoy it. I like the manual shift option or the sport button for a little more oomph when accelerating. My wife enjoys the smooth ride, the exterior styling, and the AWD. The AWD was noticeably better than our previous FWD vehicle at managing one of our snowy, uphill turns this past winter. We have had no problems with the vehicle so far. We have been averaging 26.7 mpg in about 70/30 mix of highway/city driving, which has been better than I expected. The navigation can occasionally be finicky and a little slow with directions, but it generally works well. The Bose stereo seems very good to me, and I like the power lift gate better than I expected. The blind spot monitoring, with warning lights on the side mirrors is a useful safety feature. Mazda did a nice job integrating numerous features into this vehicle without sacrificing fun(?) driving dynamics in an SUV. After another 20,000 on the odometer, my appreciation for this vehicle has only grown. We have had no problems. Mileage has improved to 27.0 overall. The driving experience is very smooth. Acceleration is not life changing, but sufficient for our needs. The transmission seems nearly telepathic with the timing of shifts, and those gear changes are smooth. We still enjoy the sound system, moonroof, and comfy seats. Very nice ride, and I'm glad my wife talked me into the AWD, which has been useful in Michigan winters. We have no regrets with this vehicle, enjoying both local commutes and long road trips. For someone who enjoys driving (me), the Mazda still seems the best choice in a fairly mundane class of vehicles. For someone who wants practicality (my wife), the CX-5 offers good mileage, reliability, and room for our daughter and our stuff. We are still glad to have selected the CX-5. Update 2022. We now have over 65,000 miles on our CX-5 and continue to enjoy the experience. New tires around 50,000 miles. No mechanical problems, and the vehicle is still enjoyable to drive. My wife has been especially grateful for AWD in Michigan winters. Overall we remain very satisfied with our CX-5.

We traded our 2016 CX-5 for 2017 Grand Touring CX-5. Wow! The many upgrades are amazing. Safety features includes new and improved backup alerts, out of lane driving alerts, heads up display with speed, highways signs, brake now alert, 2 driver memory seats, 6 way passenger electric adjustment, and on and on. This car is so quiet compared to our 2016, with tinted windows and good gas mileage. The best car we have ever owned!
