I got my 2020 CX-5 GT soul red 2 weeks ago and traded in my 2019 Kia Niro EX premium and best choice I did and amazing and so much more room and great and safer to drive and having 2 Mazda’s are so much better even having real leather and having the parchment and red goes great together

Very fun to drive, super smooth ride and quiet cabin. Very roomy and comfortable. It definitely feels like a luxury car without the luxury price.

Highlights of CX-5 GT Reserve (Turbol) after driving it 13,500 miles. PROS: Quiet interior at all speeds, upgraded trunk with carpet to cancel noise, futuristic body and wheels, chrome front is very nice, handles like a sports-car with power, wonderful Bose sound system, Apple CarPlay with 10 Bose speakers came alive, upgraded Google Maps or Waze through CarPlay becomes my primary Nav programs (Center-point2 on, settings, +3, +2, -1, 0), IPhone 11 music is powerful, HD radio audio output exceptional, 8-inch color display, heads-up-display on windscreen, backup camera w/warning bells, whistles and yellow red visuals, blind-spot warning visual and audio (w/turn-signal engaged), great duo-A/C Front and back), Assisted-braking to avoid accidents to include back up braking with bells to avoid accidents, cruise control safe distance assist. 12V slot in car console. Apple CarPlay USB port in console. Made in Hiroshima, Japan This auto is top of the line and expensive and it's worth the cost. Now, I'm looking at the CX-90 6 cylinders-turbo. CONS: GT Reserve Sonic Silver model are hard to find in Central Florida. Exceptions: Heads Up Display, Hill Holder brake Lock, Back Up Collision Avoidance, Folding Outside mirrors, rails, Trunk Cargo Cover, I use the "hill holder" always without hills in FL. I can now relax at a long enduring stop light in comfort.

We moved from a Mazda6 to the Mazda CX-5. After looking at comparable vehicles, we could not find one in this price range with the looks, comfort and fun to ride features. Own it now for two months and well worth the price and drivability. After two years the car is a dream to drive and trouble free. Been two years and still excellent vehicle.

Salad build, great interior, fun to drive!

This is definitely a stand-out vehicle (and it should be rated at the top of its class). While Honda and Toyota have been resting on their laurels, Mazda has been innovative, The overall engineering and driver-oriented features make the CX-5 an intelligent choice when considering an SUV. The overall build quality of my CX5 is well above average. It is quiet, comfortable, and a pleasure to drive. (I prefer the turbo 2.5 because it allows you the punch you need when you have to battle with traffic). I have experienced many other brands and I prefer this Mazda to any I have ever driven. This is a sleeper vehicle. The CX-5 flies under the radar, but don’t let that fool you. Mazda is simply a better vehicle than any of the others because at Mazda, they try harder to please the driver with both engineering excellence and good overall value. With the Grand Touring edition, Grand Touring Reserve, and Signature editions, you are getting more for your money than you would with any Honda CRV or Toyota RAV4. AND Mazda CX-5’s do not use a CVT transmission.
