2019 CX-5 GT FWD with Premium Package
I leased the 2019 CX-5 GT FWD with Premium Package. I like the vehicles handling, steering feel, cargo room for my needs and styling. It has heads up display which is really cool. The quality of the vehicle is excellent. Heated and A/C seats and a heated steering wheel are all reasons I got that package. I just wish I could afford the turbo. Lease rates were awful on them at the time. The base engine is so sluggish it drives me crazy. I have to plan accordingly passing vehicles on roads and especially highways. Everything else is so driver enthusiast. Also the seat bottom is too tight on my thighs and hurts, so I bought a seat pad from amazon, so that’s better now. The 7” screen needs to be 9” like the CX-30. I also wish the armrest was longer as I’m pretty tall. 3/5 raking. Kinda wish I got the 2020 Stelvio now that they redid the few interior quality issues the older ones had. Plus their leases are just a little more. Also, my wife has the 19’ CX-9 Touring and that turbo is so smooth! Plus it leases a little better. It’s a much better car IMO.

Love my CX5!
Pros: nice acceleration. Quiet ride with much less road noise than my Honda CR-V( b we have always been Honda people but road noise and recent service incidents turned me against this time) The Mazda is just a nice handling car. Great mileage for an SUV and don't have to use high test like Lexus which I had considered. Like all the safety features stuff as lane depart etc Comfortable seats. Love the seat warmer feature. Cons:I have the touring package with navigation and Sirius. Also has andoid and apple play but this really confuses me by having both. Difficult to get used to but that may be just me😐 The cup holder between the seats seems too far back for comfort also. I do wish actually/heat fan control etc was located on steering wheel or higher up... Have to take eyes off road to adjust door to it's very low placement on the dash. But if I had to do it over again I would choose this car again!

2019 CX-5 Touring with preferred package
I wanted to upgrade from a compact sedan to a medium sized SUV. I evaluated all of the current offerings out there from Acura to Volkswagen. After months of critical evaluations of the various SUVs, the CX-5 was a standout. What caught my eye was the attractive exterior styling, the very upscale looking interior. A test drive sealed the deal as it was the best driving and most fun to drive SUV I’ve ever driven. The vehicle is so engaging to drive, it can handle sharp corners and turns with ease. It’s very quiet on the inside, feels very refined and has all the amenities and technology anyone would want. I’m in love with the SUV and so glad I bought it. I actually look forward to driving it every time I need to go somewhere. I’ve had zero issues with it and I always get routine maintenance done regularly at my local Mazda dealership. In short, I feel this is the best mid-sized SUV out there, especially for the money. It’s every bit as reliable as a Toyota but way more fun to drive.

We will never purchase another CX5 due to repairs
We own the 2019 CX-5 Grand Touring. Took vehicle in for exhaust odor when stopped. The vehicle with only 20k miles was at the dealer for 7 weeks for a cylinder head leak and parts were not available. After removing they removed engine they determined lifters were needed as well. Again only 20k miles. In addition, the radio constantly freezes up and won't play XM music. Have to do a hard reset to get the radio to work. It has had updates done at the dealer several times but does not resolve the issue. Its a shame because we love the body style and interior other than the really poorly placed rear heated seats buttons that are easily accidentally applied since they are in the center rear armrest. I asked to speak with a factory rep and have called Mazda directly with no response.
