I’ve driven in Volvo’s, BMW’s, Lexus, etc. I can honestly say this is right up there with the ‘luxury class’ but at a much more affordable price. Besides the amazing technology this SUV comes with it is a beautiful, comfortable, sleek vehicle. I do admit I had to go back to the dealership to get some remedial training in all the technology it comes with but the salesmennwere so great and patient. Once I understood all it has to offer I was even more impressed. It’s simply a beautiful vehicle that has every single thing you would want or need in a vehicle. Living in Alaska it’s already been tested on very slick roads and I have not had a single scare or issue. I highly recommend this SUV! I’m loving it the longer I have it!

I purchased the sport model two weeks ago and I have to say I am immensely pleased! I’ve been looking around for a while for an SUV I started with used couldn’t really find anything that I liked or that didn’t have a ton of miles on it and then I found this new. I got the sport model which is the base model and it doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but compared to the base models of other SUVs it actually is pretty well-equipped and it’s super quiet. The LED headlights are super bright and at first I thought I would regret not having the fog lights but I don’t need them these lights are superbright and you can see super far. I do wish the car had a CD player and that it had a few more speakers but for a base set the speakers are actually really good. The car does have a very quality feel to it so I’m guessing it will hold up well. I also wish the car had the releases in the truck to fold the seats down since I have a base model it doesn’t have them at all. Other than the black trim/seats which is hard to keep clean I have to say overall I give it five stars. I really wanted a sunroof so the dealership had one put in so I didn’t have to step up and spend a few more thousand dollars for the touring trim.

Small storage (perfect for me); beautiful, simple and clean design, particularly external; comfortable front driver seats, back seat okay for 2 regular adults; split second lags in acceleration; drive and cabin is comfortable; very low cabin noise; great tech: electronics and displays.

A bit disappointing

My CX-5 is an average car. I can't compare it to other SUV's since I haven't driven them. But I will not buy this car when the lease is up. I leased it to test the safety technology knowing that in three years this tech will have advanced significantly. Pros for safety: great headlights and visibility. The blind spot monitor works well as does the pacing cruise control. Cons for safety: the active braking is useless. It will not stop the car before an accident. Ditto for the lane sensors. They are just an annoyance. They do not work on faded stripes. The infotainment system is very disappointing. The navigation does not have real time traffic so is useless for day to day driving. Stick to Waze or Google maps. The radio is disappointing. Sirius does not display the full title of the song nor the album artwork. The engine is underpowered. Mazda has a sport mode button as a crutch when accelerating. But the shift points are crazy high. At 65 in sport mode you are still in fourth gear.

Just a few things

There are a few things that would make it better: The cargo net needs to be hooked vertically and not horizontal. Most other makers have this as a pouch you can store stuff in as well. I would make the side mirrors electrical retracting. The glass appears to be thin or not as good of quality as it gets hot in the car even when the AC is on 70. The heat hits you right in the. Hands and steering wheel.
