The newly redesigned Mazda CX-5 is a great little SUV that is full of available features that you would find on a BMW SUV at half the price. It is peppy on the highway and gets great gas mileage! Oh and the build quality is excellent, I highly recommend this vehicle!

Love it. Absolutely love it. Most comfortable driver’s seat I’ve ever sat on. Love where steering wheel is positioned. Smooth, quiet, comfy drive! Beautiful handling. Love the acceleration, overall handling. Love all the features.

Classy ride on a micro beer budget.

The best bang for your buck. So many classy additions on a micro beer budget. I was looking for something that said I've moved on from the minivan and into a cushier ride. I was contemplating a Jeep Wrangler because I miss my old one but I'm not 20 something anymore and I've come to appreciate not feeling my kidneys hit my spine when driving and let's face it, too my rock concerts have left my hearing at subpar levels and a Jeep isnt the quietest. So, with that all being said we bought this 2018 with only 7,000 miles at the end of Sept 2019. We took it across country to Nebraska for Thanksgiving. The space was a bit challenging for a family of four but it was doable and comfortable, but we packed very light. If we do that again, we'll have to get one of the things that go on top to house our luggage. (We traded in our 2010 Dodge Grand Caravan) but the ride quality was far superior and the AWD handling in the snow we encountered along the way made us feel safe. Was very impressed. Love the assisted cruise control feature. I feel very spoiled driving this CX-5. Most of my family, ie parents, brothers/sisters drive Toyotas, Hondas, Infinity and Lexus, they have been turning their heads with this one and have all commented on it's appearance of expensive quality. I hope this isnt just me rambling, I hope you take away from this review I chose this over the Toyota Rav4, Honda Pilot, Subaru Outlander and Nissan Rogue based on me researching my purchase, reading and watching reviews. I think this purchase has fulfilled my expectations of an entry level suv compared to a suv in the luxury market. It is just as nice and rides just as smooth but moreover so fun to drive. I really appreciate the options Mazda gives you over controlling the way the engine performs. Great buy for the money.
