I loved my 2016 CX-5 GT so much that I had to get the new 2021 GT Reserve. I got the Soul Red Crystal with the white interior and I couldn't appreciate more how fun this is to drive.

I'm very happy with my purchase even though at the moment MSRP is a deal. This is my second CX-5, my first was a 2018 Grand Touring. The 2021 has the upgraded screen which is a bit bigger and higher definition. Same styling as my older car but the Turbo edition gives me a bit more oomph as I get on the highway or need to pass another car without having to kick it into sport mode. I would love to see wireless CarPlay in newer editions. Plus a bumper guard and at this trim level a cargo mat and all weather mats would be nice too. Otherwise the styling is on point and sexy. Love the lines of this car and believe you get a lot more in this class of car compared to the Honda, Toyota or Subaru. The attention to detail in the inner cabin and the comfort level is far superior.

Disappointed

Very slow and horrible fuel efficiency. The display is a joke. My Jetta that was two years old when I traded it was a joy ride compared to this boring, inefficient, slow and non intuitive piece of junk. Can’t wait for my lease to be over.

Last year, I traded in my BMW X3 because of high maintenance costs, and rim repairs. I bought a new 2021 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve AWD turbo. This SUV is quick and very comfortable on long trips. I love the Bose Audio system and the Heads up display keeps your eyes on the road. Just had my second oil change and it was a fourth of the BMW price. Great job Mazda!
