I moved up, way up, from a 2013 GMC Terrain. The CX5 GTR is great! The power is fantastic, the ride is soooo much smoother , and the build quality is in a different universe from the GMC. The CX5 is very quiet, the Bose sound system superb, and the turbo flat out hauls a..... I looked at RAV4, CRV, ENVISION, Santa Fe, and RDX. The RDX was the only one even close, but was way more expensive.

Better than many Luxury Compact SUV's

The CX 5 GTR is equipped better than most Luxury Compact SUV's. Mazda has taken care to build the car so it's pleasing to the eye yet is very fun to drive. It comes standard with more equipment than many Luxury brands and at a reasonable price. The Turbo 4 has plenty of power and can run on regular fuel. It may have less cargo space than others in the market, but is more than ample for most uses. Originally we were looking at the Lexus NX, Acura RDX and Audi Q5, yet the Mazda comes better equipped and a far lower price. If you are in the market for a Compact SUV, take a look at the CX 5 it will surprise you.

Amazing Car, Amazing Price, Amazing Features!

This is my second CX-5! I previously had the 2017 CX-5 GT with the Premium Package, which was fully loaded at the time. I knew from day one that when my lease was up I would be getting another one. The 2021 is amazing in every aspect. Comfort, Features, Power. I love the upscale interior, the 10.3 inch screen to be exact! Everything from top to bottom is perfect! I recommend the CX5 to anyone looking for a CUV! It's like driving a BMW for Toyota money.

Great SUV, but Needs to Address Issue with Stereo

I have had my 2021 CX-5 for several days now and for the most part think it is perfect. I purchased a white one in the Grand Touring Reserve trim and it has everything I could ever need. The build quality on literally everything is superb. The one issue I have with it, is in how the stereo system is controlled. There is no way to easily switch through my favorited XM stations without taking my eyes off the road and going through multiple actions on the console control system. Oddly enough, there is a way to semi-easily flip through the 100+ other stations that I don't listen to. Both the Mazda3 and the CX-30 have functionality on the volume knob that allows for switching through your favorites by pressing left or right, but when you pay more money for the CX-5, this isn't included. Overall, I love the CX-5, but if I would have known about this issue before my purchase, it may have been a deal breaker, since it creates a major distraction anytime I want to change the radio station to one of my preset favorites.
