After owning cx9 and 3i , surviving bad accident in the 3 , we decided on another Mazda. Had zero problems with other two. So yes we love our 2021 cx5 gt. AwD. Daughter got two cx5 also. Reliability and fun are what Mazda's are about! # 1 consumers reports too.

Within 5 days of owning this car, the electrical system experienced a major malfunction. The steering went out, the brakes went out and the only thing that minimized the damage in the collision this malfunction caused was the automatic braking system. I brought the car to the dealership who has a Mazda technician come out and evaluate the vehicle. They said nothing was wrong. I paid an independent collision specialist to come run the cars system and they found a whole host of issues including bad sensors, faulty analog to digital transformers and missing grounds. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement. I traded it in and got a Tiguan. I don’t recommend Mazda. They’re trying to go up market with a down market price and you get what you pay for.

Owned probably 30 vehicles in my lifetime from pretty much every mfg. But, hadn't owned a Mazda until my wife showed up with her new grocery getter. Loaded with options for the price and some neat high end convenience. Sensing wipers, levelling headlights and a nice comfortable ride. We live just outside the city and have about 2 miles of dusty dirt roads. Six months into her vehicle she seems to be having sensor problems. I'm not talking about intermittant issues, but sensor failure. Her biggest problem is the levelling headlight sensing issues as although they have been reset a couple of times, they had to be replaced under warranty. This is a car that has 10,000 miles and is 6 momnths old. Have other vehicles in our driveway that are a few years older with headlight levelling and have not had an issue. So, the vehicle may be a 5* vehicle for paved roads in the city but in my opinion there are better choices for those on the outskirts.

2021 CX-5 Signature
New Mazda Owner, 11/09/2021
2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

After the untimely demise of my previous vehicle, I rented a CX-5 and thought to test drive a CX-5 Signature. First off, this car is very comfortable. Never before did I realize what I was missing without a heated steering wheel. The ride is very comfortable and the turbo provides enough power to be taken seriously on the highway when merging or passing. The entertainment system controls are knob controlled in the median area just set back from the gear shift. All the fancy cameras and radars are also quite the upgrade. This thing could probably park itself (but doesnt). My only disappointment is the gas mileage; I get about 22 mpg, and it seems that 93 premium is recommended. The AWD is a huge improvement in rainy conditions and I look forward to tackling any snow this winter.

My husband and I were looking for a size upgrade from my (purchased previous to meeting him) 2017 Honda HR-V. He's 6'3", and let's just say it was a struggle. I researched new vehicles online for a few months. Full disclosure- my list only included 0% financing offers. While I wanted to stay in an SUV, Mazda was running a special on the 6 at the time. Having never driven a car, I thought "why not test drive it and see". Side note- it was absolutely fabulous... but same problem, not a great fit for the hubby. We were on our way out when our salesman asked if we had looked at the CX-5. My first thought was "nope, too much $, will not pay for financing"... but we took a look anyway and I sure did like what we saw. Now, we are not "fancy" people. I did not want leather/sunroof/bells/whistles/etc... just a solid, reliable, small SUV with enough cargo space for groceries and the occasional small furniture purchase. I was definitely interested in the newer safety features available, but thought they would not be an option without a high-level trim. I was wrong. One test drive in the CX-5 Touring and we were in love. Plenty of head/leg room, extraordinary amount of standard safety features, good gas mileage, luxurious interior, unique exterior styling, sturdy build, comfortable, and fun to drive... all at the right price point ($29k). Happy ending, we did get the 0% financing and the perfect compact SUV to fit our needs. Have had it for 4 months now and have no complaints. Definitely recommend!
