1st CX-5, Already Impressed

Purchased a new 2021 Grand Touring w/Premium Pkg. Dark Blue w/black leather. It's FWD and non-turbo which is perfect for our driving style and region. The engine is plenty peppy and the 6 speed auto shifts like perfection. The interior is very luxurious. Heated and cooled seats. Bose stereo. Heads up display feels like you're driving a Vette. Memory seats which is great since me & my spouse both use the car and ratcheting the drivers seat manually in our old car was a pain. Now we just push a button. Wife likes the power liftgate, something our old car didn't have either. Really like the way it drives. My only complaint would be the budget tires they use. I'll give Mazda a pass but it's one shortcoming for such a fine automobile. Haven't really checked fuel mileage yet but expect 28-32 average. Plan to keep this for many years.

I had a 2017 and 2019 Kia Ex pack Sportages. Loved them both bot no comparison to the CX5. The interior is the biggest plus. Near luxury. Design is second to none. I bought the Soul Red with white interior .... eye catching. In Mexico we have the S Touring model, works perfect for my needs. Extremely quite and a lot more power than the Kias. I would highly recommend! Update: It's been 6 months plus since I bought this car. Happier today than the day I brought it home. MPG on the road in the mid to.low 30's. This is near luxury on a dime.

We test drove the Mazda CX-5 with the intention to buy it, based on favorable reviews we had read. We felt, however, that the backseat was too cramped for our three young adult sons, the engine lacked pep, and the interior was nothing special. We went with the Honda CR-V and are very pleased that we did.

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

Luxurious Car

My new 2021 Mazda CX-5 looks and feels like a luxury vehicle - for the price of a typical crossover suv. Amazing look, feel, and entertainment system. I leased my new car at Charlottesville Flow Mazda with the help of Ray Jordan. He made my first time renting a car quick, easy, and fun. The car is fantastic and I could not have found it without the help of amazing salesman Ray Jordan.
