Previously owned a 2007 Mazda 6, drove it 15 years with no problems, a great car. Seats were ok on long drives. Bought a 2023 CX5 3 months ago. Overall it’s ok, it drives and handles like a Mazda should but the seats are killers! Anymore than an hours drive and my back and neck just ache. My wife and son concur.So what’s going on Mazda ? I don’t know if we can keep driving this or not!

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

Premium Plus FTW!

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.

Best in class cx5 turbo

Traded 2020 cx30 for 2023 cx5 turbo. I have driven it for 6 months and my favorite vehicle of over 25 I've owned. Today was heavy snow and with Michelin CrossClimates this vehicle was a snow machine. Had purchased a 2021 cx5 for my wife and after 2 road trips I traded in my cx3O for the greater visibility and size of the cx5 . Mazda has designed a superb AWD system and when coupled with the driving dynamics, interior quality, safety, and aesthetics of its style the cx5 is the synergistic best in class.

If no one told you the type of car you were test driving, you would think this was a luxury vehicle. You have to see it to believe it! It has all of the bells and whistles!
