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.

I just know that there are different levels even in the grand touring which I was not made aware at the time of my purchase

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.

I looked at many cars before I chose the CX-5. It had the best looking interior without going into the premium market. There wasn't much hard, cheap plastic in the interior. The dash wasn't overly busy like an airplane cockpit. The mileage is good at 30.3/gallon. I like the manual shift option which I use in the winter and hilly terrain. The knocks are no heated review mirrors without going up the Grand Touring Trim. At that time, the CX-3 offered heat rear view mirrors on the Touring trim. Living in the Northeast, this is a safety feature for us. The warranty is poor, 3 years/30,000 miles. Other car brands are leaving this in the dust. No CD player which almost all brands don't offer. At that time, Suburu still offered it. The long front snout makes it more difficult to judge distance. In the end, my biggest disappointment is no heated rear view mirrors. This could have been added as an option in a package without paying an extra $2000 to go up into another trim for other stuff not needed.

Was a little skeptical since we previously bought a CR-V and really liked it. When we drove the CX-5 it really sold us. Handled great and was fun to drive. Can't really say that about the CR-V, which is a great car, but I wouldn't categorize it as "fun". There was snow on the road when we drove the CX-5 and it had no issue. Would have liked to get a 2022 but none available. The dealer didn't charge over sticker like all the other dealers in Chicagoland so that was a huge advantage. So far super happy with the vehicle.

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!!!

This car is so comfortable and sporty looking, in addition to being sporty to drive. I love the safety features also. My previous vehicles were a Nissan Rogue, which I liked until they changed the body style. My Mazda is extremely comfortable and is just the right size for me. It is roomy, comfortable, and I'll be purchasing another one with all the features that I like and want.
