I have owned my CX-5 for almost 2 months and have driven 3000 miles. I downsized from an Acura MDX after becoming an empty nester, and I was initially considering an Acura RDX or Lexus RX350. I am so glad I chose the CX-5! I paid at least $15k less than the Acura or Lexus and I don't feel like I am missing anything. I love virtually everything about this vehicle. The fit and finish is high quality, the driving experience is engaging and fun. My CX-5 is value packed with features including leather with red-contrast stitching, heated/ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, heads up display, wireless charging pad, Android/Apple Auto, all wheel drive, and turbo among many others. The Turbo Signature is the trim above the Turbo Premium, and has a couple of additional driver assist features, but in my opinion, is not as a aesthetically pleasing as the Turbo Premium. The MyMazda app is great and provides remote actions, including remote start, all with no subscription fee. The two things that could be better: 1. The wireless charging pad is at an awkward angle so the phone slides off. I used a trimmed command strip to install a piece of plastic to keep the phone on the pad, problem solved. However, even when on the pad, the phone gets hot, charges very slowly and sometimes even loses power during my commute while using Android Auto and streaming podcasts or music. I usually end up plugging in to a corded charger. 2. Fuel economy could be better. It is comparable to my older, larger MDX, averaging 21-23.5 MPG. Fortunately, the CX-5 does not require premium fuel, so that offsets this somewhat. Despite these minor shortcomings, I am very happy with my purchase. I have owned 15 vehicles in my lifetime and I think this is my favorite. Update after 17 months and 28kmiles: I still love it! Improved fuel economy would be nice, but I wouldn't trade it just for that. ♥️

Don’t trust the negative reviews. Do yourself a favor and rent a few compact SUVs before you buy. I tried Toyota RAV4, Honda CRV, Jeep Compass, and Mitsubishi Outlander, each for at least a few days. Compared with any of these, the CX-5 is a luxury SUV. The interior materials are of superior quality, and each detail is manufactured with great precision. Safety features abound, the engine is very quiet and responsive, and the control is exceptional.

I know I have only had the CX-5 for 10 days now, but I love it. The non-turbo engine has plenty of get up and go. Nice ride. Good visibility, quiet, I love the the dial. Almost luxury but not a luxury price. My only complaint is I wish it got better gas mileage.

This is the best car I have ever owned. In fact, this is my 4th CX-5. I've had the 2017 Touring, the 2019 GT, the 2022 Signature and now the 2024 TP. Mazda by far has one of if not the best interior in its class. While I do feel that the infotainment system could be a little better, it checks all of the boxes for me. More features like a real TPMS display that shows the pressure in all four tires would be a big improvement. The fuel economy is not terrible for the amount of power the Turbo engine puts out, and it is in-line with other vehicles with similar power output. The cargo space is right for me as well, as I'm usually the only one in the car and I don't haul a lot of stuff. If you need a fancy touchscreen, frugal gas economy, and tons of cargo space the CX-5 may not be the best vehicle for you. If on the other hand, you like a plush near-luxury-level interior, an engaging drive, and a handsome styling package both inside and out then the CX-5 is a great choice. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Traded in a 2021 CX five for a 2024 higher trim level. There is still no other SUV that feels as fun driving as a CX-5. The responsive steering and 6 speed auto transmission are a delight. And it’s quiet and simple. gas mileage has gone down a touch with standard all wheel drive. That’s still a fantastic vehicle.
