Decent but Traded Early Due to Some Shortcomings

Bought new in 2022, went through 3 batteries in 3 years and 22k miles and the dealer could never figure out why. Also, I found Mazda's controls for the radio and other electronics not at all intuitive - and actually infuriating at times. Finally, my better half thought the ride was too stiff compared to her Subaru Forester. The front seats are very comfortable on long drives though. I ended up trading it in for a new Forester which I feel has a much better ride and more intuitive controls and a touch screen.

I really wanted to love this car. Its design is very attractive. That’s pretty much where it ends. It’s basically a go cart. Anything above 65 and it sounds like it’s struggling. I’m not an engine girl but also I don’t want to die on the highway. The reason for the 3 star is the amount of issues. It has had like 5 warranty repair visits (ac, computer) and I only have 39k miles. All in all, this car probably works for a non highway driver. I’ll be handing it down to my teen to go to and from school and practice.

Mazda CX-5 Premium 2022, 16k miles. Best car in my life so far, i own this vehicle for 3 month, everything is great, only best emotions, good quality for this money, good MPG, awsome style, comfort and sound system. From first look 178 HP looksnot enough, but believe me this babe is fast, i recommend this vehicle if you are looking for good Middle size SUV with good quality, not for crazy money!
