Before purchasing Mazda vehicle I reaserched and tested various vehicles in the same category including the Hunday Tucson, VW Tiguan, Honda CRV and Toyota RAV4. I'm convinced that the Mazda CX5 offers the best price -performance and the most accesories for the price. I have owned the vehicle for over 2 years without any issues.

Love the car, it's my 3rd one. After over two years of driving, I still think it's a great car. As a matter of fact I'm think of buying it at the end of the lease in about 10 months. Only have about 7000 miles on it.

5th Mazda since 2008; 2019 CX-5 saved my life!

I agree with all the positives I've seen everywhere about the Mazda CX-5. I picked up a 2019 CX-5 with the GT premium package on August 31, 2021, with under 20k miles. My first 3 Mazda's, 2 Mazda 3 sedans and a '16 Mazda 6 sedan, served me very well, with each getting to 100k miles while needing only oil changes & tires. I loved my '19 GT, but sadly, it was destroyed in a head-on collision back on May 19 (a young driver tried to do a u-turn on a 4-lane highway). I walked away with sore ribs. Reading NHSTA ratings are one thing...but surviving something like that has made me really appreciate Mazda engineers. Every airbag inflated and I felt surrounded by pillows. As for the rest of the car, like I said, I'm a Mazda loyalist & each model year brings more improvements. I just picked up a '21 CX-5 GT with the Premium pkg & AWD. It's better in every way; nice incremental upgrades but most importantly, to me anyway, is that Mazda really is as good as it gets with respect to real-world safety. P.S. For the 2nd time in 10 months I have found a CX-5 GT Premium Pkg sold as "Certified pre-owned" with very low miles and a better-than-new warranty. So I purchased each one on the last day of the month, after 5 pm, and was willing to walk away from a bad deal. Both times I paid below the KBB retail value, so the idea of dealerships being more eager to make a sale towards the end of a month/quarter rings true imho. Trying to determine car values in 2022, however, has become very difficult due to the industry shortage. I've seen brand new Mazda vehicles with mark-ups exceeding $10k over MSRP, so I'm grateful to have avoided this by searching for CPO Mazda CX-5's in a 300 mile radius. Plus I actually prefer the exterior design of the 2021 MY over the new 2022 MY. Love those LED fog lights!

Love this car! 31K miles now. RX-7 DNA, on par with German luxury for thousands less. We bought it two months ago, 1400 miles to date. Smooth, quiet, peppy, responsive with awesome safety features. Fit and finish is exceptional. Rides and handles as well as our BMW 3 series and reminds me of an RX-7 I had a long time ago. Averaging 24 mpg in town, 27+ highway. Roomier inside than it appears. Only complaint is a very minor nitpick. Wish there was a knob to tune the radio stations. Many car companies don’t have these anymore. Mazda works around this with a favorites button that isn't too bad.

I had a 2017 and 2019 Kia Ex pack Sportages. Loved them both bot no comparison to the CX5. The interior is the biggest plus. Near luxury. Design is second to none. I bought the Soul Red with white interior .... eye catching. In Mexico we have the S Touring model, works perfect for my needs. Extremely quite and a lot more power than the Kias. I would highly recommend! Update: It's been 6 months plus since I bought this car. Happier today than the day I brought it home. MPG on the road in the mid to.low 30's. This is near luxury on a dime.
