Best vehicle I’ve ever owned in 40 years

This is hands-down, the most pleasant and trouble-free car I’ve owned (over 20 in my lifetime). I “splurged” on the top-of-the line Signature trim, which still came in at just under $40K. It was worth every penny. It is stylish, comfortable, and nimble, particularly in sport mode and using the paddle shifters. The liquid graphite paint is beyond gorgeous. With almost 42,000 miles this car has given me ZERO issues. See if your friends with BMWs or Mercedes can truthfully say the same thing. I wouldn’t trade them even-up. This car is that good. Read, and trust, the Edmunds editors’ review. There is a reason they gave this an “8.1 Great” rating.

Perfect - like most cars I wish the drivers seat was longer and I removed the rear seat headrests for visibility.

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.

Better than a Luxury SUV

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!

AWD Go Cart

First Mazda ever and bought it due to all the rave reviews plus great referrals by my friends. We bought a barely used CPO 2021 CX-5 Signature and took it on a short trip. It was awesome!!! The CX-5 is like a go cart and fast (in Sports mode). Even when it was fully loaded with 4 occupants and full trunk load. With AC on and doing around 80 MPH (Cconservatively 😁), we still averaged around 25 MPG. The only thing could be better is a bigger fuel tank but that's really being picky.... Love this SUV!!!
