I’m absolutely in love with this vehicle, driving is now a treat! Comfortable elegant sporty and affordable! My only complaint is Apple CarPlay and my Sirius app on phone don’t always cooperate.

2021 Mazda CX-5 Carbon Edition 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl 6A)

The Mazda marriage with Toyota make this a contender. Good build well balanced drives well in city and down the highway. Long list of safety features standard. The 2.5l SKYACTIV-G and 6speed trans are next to bullet proof The only 2 issues that keep this from being a 5 star pick is 1) the keyfobs have the buttons on the edge and I often set off alarm/lock/unlock by just carrying keys in pocket 2) the Mazda Connect system is weak. No touch screen and a clumsy menu make this a frustrating feature. The only savior is Apple carplay and Android

2021 CX-5 Signature

2021 Mazda CX-5 Signature 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)
3 of 3 people found this review helpful
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!

Cons: lower than competitor MPG, cargo room, somewhat boring-looking rear design, a bit chunky, visibility Pros: Great overall design (especially the front), top-quality interior, great powertrain options. Basically everything else is top notch.
