So my wife purchased a 2020 cx-5 three months ago. We both love it. Well I traded my 2016 Subaru Legacy premium in on a 2018 Mazda cx-5 touring with touring pkg that has 12000 miles on it. Love it. Very little difference from my wife's car. Very sporty handling yet comfortable ride. Interior has a sophisticated and classy feel. My wife and I couldn't be more happier with our cx-5's. Update: I've now had the car for 7 months. Everything is great. Love driving it. If I have to ding it for anything it would be the navigation system is a bit cumbersome. Also a little higher mpg would be nice. I currently average 26 back and forth to work in mostly stop and go driving.

My 2018 Mazda Grand Touring is a great car. Handles like a sports car, comfortable on long trips, great fuel economy. Purchased April, 2018 and zero issues with over 10K miles on it. Sonsiders a CRV but can't deal with stop/start and the CRV cost more.

So I’ve had this car for four years now and put 83,000 miles on it. A lot of stop and go traffic, many trips across the country. As far as comfort it was perfect, multifunctional seats, heated seats, Bose sound system, navigation, all the bells and whistles. I have the touring addition with a 19 inch rims in black, it was sleek! Plenty of cargo room, 25 miles per gallon on average. It was an extremely comfortable and quiet vehicle. As far as reliability it never left me stranded, started up every time with the exception of needing a new battery at 60,000 miles. The AC blower motor started going out at 70,000 miles so I had to takeoff the glove box and knock on the motor several times throughout the day. It was a $300 fix but I kept putting it off. It needed brakes, the usual stuff. It had a minor oil leak around the seals, but it did not leak oil on the ground. Another simple fix that I just didn’t do because I knew I was trading the car in. There was nothing wrong with the car I just like to have a new car every 3 to 5 years as I get bored with them. I love Mazda‘s, their fun, sporty and reliable with a great price point. I got mine fully loaded for $32,000 out the door. I will say the only drawback that I absolutely hated about this car was the stop and go traffic it felt like I was driving an old stick shift even though it was automatic. It was a lunge forward like a stick shift not letting the clutch off smoothly. The dealership said this was the sky active System learning the way I drive. But you would think after 80,000+ miles it would learn my driving quite well especially considering I’m the only one that’s ever driven this vehicle. Highway cruising miles it was perfect, but this car does not like stop and go bumper-to-bumper traffic. Well to be honest no car does but this one did not handle it well.

I bought my CX-5 Grand Touring several months ago and wanted to really get to know the vehicle before posting a review. Bottom line it's a fantastic buy for the money. There are alot of SUV's out there but nothing compares to this vehicle from safety, reliability, ease of the infotainment controls, the quiet cabin, comfort, etc. Whether you are driving around town or out on the expressway, this SUV does not dissapoint in any way!! It's obvious why so many vehicle publications (including this one) give the CX-5 such high marks. I've read that Mazdas in general are not mass-produced like it's competitors which allows more attention to quality and detail and it shows. Don't take my word for it. Drive it and compare it to others for yourself. The only difference between the 2018 (which I own) and the newer 2019 is a slight modification to the dash configuration and that apple car play / android auto is now a standard feature.

Slow for car to heat up. Front doors a little to far forward for entry if your 6' or over and for seeing on coming traffic at stop signs but I knew this when I bought it and have gotten used to it.
