Not spacious

The interior features are great. But the second row is not spacious enough if you have small kids. So we decided to go with CRV instead

Luxury feel and performance at an affordable price

The CX-5 is a well-built, extremely quiet and smooth-riding car that is fun to drive (for an SUV). Fuel economy is better than I expected, and performance is certainly adequate. The transmission is a bit balky at very low speeds but otherwise quite smooth. The compact exterior is appreciated; however, the interior is rather tight, both front and back, compared with other compact SUVs. The infotainment system is often slow to boot up and rather complicated to use for some simple tasks, such as changing the audio source. The fit and finish really are impressive, and I get the impression this car will hold up well over time.

recently traded 5yr old Hyundai IX35 Elite AWD on 2019 Mazda CX5 sport AWD,apart from slightly less noiseand a slightly better ride,the hyundai was a much better thought out vehicle,everything worked without fault,whilst the MAZDA is loaded with gimmicks that work sometimes and the SAT NAV is absolutely useless.I spent a lot of money to be extremely dissappointed. Incidently,I have been driving all types of vehicles for more than 60 years ,there I believe Ido have some idea what I am talking about.

Hate it.

I got my CX-5 Grand Touring Premium a little less than a month ago after being convinced by glowing review after glowing review. 1,000 miles in, I can tell you what I don't hate and what I do: Don't hate: - Safety features - those are great. no complaints. - Comfortable seat. - Drives nicely, but you feel every bump. Hate: - The car defaults to FM radio 90% of the time, even when I was last on Sirius or bluetooth or Apple CarPlay. - It takes the audio system and screen anywhere from 30 seconds to 4 minutes to start up. - The backseat is small. - The trunk makes a popping sound when the the latch automatically unlocks, which feels really cheap. - The doors lock and unlock in the most idiotic way, the settings don't reflect what the doors actually do. - The car has a Bose sound system, which automatically makes all the mirrors shake when music is on... which is ALWAYS. - The rearview camera pales in comparison to my old Lexus NX. Honestly, the car has major false advertising when it comes to luxury. It's not. Don't buy into it. .

Highs: Hugs the road like a luxury performance car, well-designed cabin loaded with cutting edge tech that's easy to use without distraction Lows: It looks like something your Mom would drive. The turbo is loud and didn't feel powerful enough.
