I bought my 2020 CX-5 "Signature" two months ago. I find it uncomfortable. Specifically, the driver seat is too narrow. I am an average built man but the seat is simply narrow and hard. The signature model has leather seats, but I have no idea why would the designers use very hard leather. The back seats are even worse. No way that 3 adults can sit comfortably in the back and definitely there is no room to have three child seats. Next, the seat belt. Too tight. I had been driving different cars for 35 years I never complained about the seat belt. I find myself constantly trying to loosen it and I pushed the seat back as far as it goes but the belt keeps on creeping on you and gets very tight on the chest and near the neck. Third, the climate control is acceptable but not great on hot days. Keep in mind that the model I have is top of the line. It has all the bells and whistles. One good feature is the ability to cool the seat in the summer and heat it in the winter. Also the 360 degree view of the car surrounding is very cool. Mechanically, the car is smooth and responsive. It has a switch to make it more sporty. I tried it on the highway. I did not notice any performance difference but I noticed higher level of noise. The auto hold parking does not work I hope the dealer will be able to fix it. All in all, I think it is OK but I doubt that this is the top of its class. Sorry I would not buy it again.

The car is quite even on the highway. The engine is powerful enough and the acceleration is good. It is a little stiff during turning and it feels a bit heavy. Good technology and safety features. My biggest beef is the comfort. The seats are narrow and harder than usual. It is not comfortable for three adults to sit in the back. The car seat is too tight no matter what I do. I don't find this car comfortable

Overall best value for the money. buy this if you enjoy driving. Nicely weigh steering, great handling, firm brakes and good power from the turbo engine. decent mileage for the amount of power. Only negative is the seat could have better thigh support and needs a thicker steering wheel.

After visiting three other car lots, we were ready for the typical salesman high pressure pitch, but never got that at Mazda. They listened to what we wanted, and delivered. As for the CX5, I love it! I’m embarrassed to say it was the last car on my list to look at. Our first choices were the Honda CRV, Crosstrek/Forester, and the RAV4. None of them can compare to the CX5 in comfort, handling, style, and awesome driving experience. Absolutely the best car buying experience ever! We went with the Grand Touring Reserve trim.

This is a great suv for a first time suv owner. I went from a car to this and I love it. The leather interior is awesome. I feel comfortable and its great to look at.
