Almost perfect compact SUV

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.

2021 Mazda CX-5 GTR (Grand Touring Reserve)

Some dealers were competitive on the price of CX-5. Some dealers were not as responsive (3 or 4 days to respond) to our quote request and another gave us the MSRP price minus $100. What sold us with the Trade-In value we received. There was a big disparity between dealers on the Trade-in value. In the price range of the CX-5 we felt we received a good value for the money. There were better driving SUV's but once you added options we use then the value wasn't there. 2 years old and working well… Happy with it… We took a couple 500 mile trips and it worked well. I like the cruse control with radar… CX-5 does burn 1 quart of oil every 2500 miles.

RX-7 DNA

Love this car! 31K miles now. RX-7 DNA, on par with German luxury for thousands less. We bought it two months ago, 1400 miles to date. Smooth, quiet, peppy, responsive with awesome safety features. Fit and finish is exceptional. Rides and handles as well as our BMW 3 series and reminds me of an RX-7 I had a long time ago. Averaging 24 mpg in town, 27+ highway. Roomier inside than it appears. Only complaint is a very minor nitpick. Wish there was a knob to tune the radio stations. Many car companies don’t have these anymore. Mazda works around this with a favorites button that isn't too bad.

If your elderly or handicapped don't buy

Started out at the dealer. Test drove the cx 5 GT signature and ended up getting it home and noticed pathetic performance as it didn't have the turbo and the seats were too hard. took it back to the dealer and upgraded to the reserve thinking it was the same as the car we test drove. Turn out it had the same seats as the other and the signature had upgraded seats. I loved the acceleration with the turbo and the windshield display but that's where it ended. the seats were too hard and driving a short distance my back was on fire, when the fuel light came on you only had a few miles to find gas and not having a touch screen was not desirable. The biggest disappointment was the height of the rocker panel. It was too high off the ground and when you had to literally climb in and the floor pan was so deep it was like getting into a swimming pool. My wife had an artificial hip and it took her several minutes just to get in and out. Installing running boards didn't even help We drove it for about three months and couldn't take it no more. We realized why drive a car that you hate. We started checking out other cars thoroughly and decided on a Honda CR-V. We took a huge hit but I'm now in a car that I thoroughly enjoy, we can get in and out of it with no problem at all and the seats are very comfortable

Bmw and Mercedes should be concerned.
