Sportiest suv I’ve ever owned. Nicer look ok’ing than comparable Lexus or Mercedes. Safety features look le 360 camera r standard. Only knock so far is not good gas mileage but at thousands less in cost still a big saving over hybrid or plug in suvs
Love my new CX-5

All Japanese made! Love the vehicle all the way around! Could have more back seat legroom but it’s only my wife and I,and we usually don’t have people in our back seat,so really doesn’t matter!❤️

After tons of research I decided on the 2023 CX-5 Premium Plus in deep blue with parchment seats. This car looks and handles great. My favorite features are the Bose audio and ventilated seats. Living in South FL, I find the non-turbo motor has plenty of power and gets good gas mileage. Very quiet and smooth. Back seats are comfortable. Can seem stiff over bumps at low speeds, but handles very smooth when at highway speeds. Mazda offered 0% APR to finance for 36 months. Dealer threw in every option OTD for $37,000. Very happy with this vehicle.

Like all aspects of this SUV. Only thing which should be included is the navigation chip. Disappointed about having to pay extra!!

I had a 22 Carbon Edition which was one of the first that model year with new transmission tweaks etc and it had some kinks in the transmission software , which i discussed in that review and at 20K traded it in for a 2023 CX-5 Premium with Bose speakers , Paddle Shifters, Analog Instrument Cluster , +50 Mile range ,smaller grill , still has 19" rims but different style . This car suited us better as we picked Rohidium White which is Mazdas only color costing an additional $599 - Has a pearl tint to it . So the vehicle was much lower key and drew less attention . We Liked that - Most of all it seemed that Mazda had spent time making sure the 6speed transmission was like silk in shift transitions , amazing really even from day 1 not broken in , the whole vehicle compared to the 22 was just , more refined , the engine was smooth even with regular gas , and the suspension was clearly in my opinion different/ better. It was solid , and firm , the whole vehicle seems to be one well put together ride - Like no other Mazda Ive driven - I like my old GT3 Hatchback from 2010 but thats like a go cart -- different animal - The CX5 is German-esque in solid handling and power delivery- giving me the sense that I knew what it would do with confidence and I needed to learn how to get the most out of it which is and was fun. Its fun to drive - lots of fun ! Pin drop quiet inside even at freeway speeds. I dislike the infotainment system which is confusing having to much stuff in one place and its confounding --I wish I had a radio with a simple dial -- yes it has that setting , but requires many pathways - yikes - Mazda builds an unbelievable vehicle interior as well - Ive had many German vehicles and I must say this is right there and better in many ways -- Its hard to believe for the $$ - Its so good that the infotainment system is forgotten - Its that good - There is nothing in its class or the next that comes close - I looked at the Rav4 - and well - you look and drive it -My big love of Mazda comes from the fact that they are a lone company that still makes a traditional car and took it to the apotheosis of engineering possible to compete with high mileage hybrids - They still make a real combustion engine only , with a real 6 speed transmission ,,,not CVT , No Hybrid , Just the real deal - and its reflected it the cost - Mazda Made the skyactive system efficient by building an engine thats built like a diesel with a 13:1 compression ratio and cylinder deactivation which you can watch on the screen - Its extremely reliable and the 2 outside pistons stop burning gas and the 2 inboard are powering the vehicle at high freeway speeds, no hiccups ,totally unnoticeable except in gas mileage which all CX5 only come in 4WD and even then I can get 32-35mpg on flat freeways and thats very good ! Some people want a Hybrid , so we will see, personally I dont think paying another 25-30K for a hybrid dosent make fiscal sense in $/mile savings overall- , Mazda may be suffering from a bit of an identity crisis , as it was once a boutique car company in which no two models even looked like they were made by the same company , As if there were designers who had free rein to craft each car as they saw fit -- Then 2013 - They all got a grill thats the same and they all have similar cosmetic traits to bond the vehicles to Mazdas brand - I think they need to decide... are we a " sports car " company or a luxury sport or luxury company ? I think Mazda needs to define itself and get the word out -- Few people are aware of Mazdas and their reputation , and now the first year they took #1 in reliability over Toyota ! Thats Huge , But Toyota sells about 2 Million units in the USA and Mazda around 300K so about a 1/10th+ as many cars - So the CX-5 is great for a two people with a dog , or one or two kids , But could be tight with 4 big adults and 5 medium would be also tight -- but I dont want it any bigger - I think the buyers dont either - Its a winner green flag to checkered flag !!! I wish Mazda would build the turbo CX-5 with a stick shift -- would sell out - If you like traditionally built vehicles without batteries and electric engines --Get a Mazda --as soon they wont have them anymore either - my opinion of course
