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.

First of all, the base engine is very peppy from 0-60. It’s only at highway speeds where it isn’t as quick to giddy up. Next, at 3500 miles on the odometer, I’m getting 30 plus combined city and highway mpg out of mine and that’s at 70-75 on the interstate. As far as roominess and storage, it isn’t quite as roomy as the CRV, but the “fun-to-drive” factor makes up for that for me. The interior proclaims a luxury feel and is quiet at any speed. It reminds you of the higher priced class of vehicles. I gave it a four out of five. It might not be for everyone but in many ways it’s the “best in class”.

Lots of positives. Good reviews, good crash test results. I like the styling. Conventional transmission vs CVT. Rides good. Received special financing.

I consistently get 30 to 31 mpgs on the highway. Well thought out layout. Everything within reach. I have owed Mazdas for the last 25 years ranging from Miata to MPV minivans and love their dependability. They are more reliable than my Honda and Toyotas, plus more luxurious than their comparative rivals. One the Honda and Toyota go I am replacing them with Mazdas.

2024 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo Signature 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

Recently purchased a CX-5 Signature for normal commuting in and around a high altitude mountain town. After test-driving a competitor compact SUV in the class, we found the CX-5 to have excellent visibility, with a quiet ride, and confident handling on our curvy roads. The AWD has performed very well in the snow. The turbo engine is the way to go, at least around the grades we drive on, and of course, comes with lower gas mileage downside. I like the exterior styling that gives the car a classy, refined and timeless appearance after 9 or 10 iterations. The interior is designed with quality materials and layout and the luxury feel comes through. I find the controls easy to navigate, am not distracted by the heads' up display, and we were able to seamlessly integrate our android phones. The console-display interplay is dated, though we also have a 2019 BMW X3 with iDrive system and therefore no real learning curve. As noted by others, the front seats are on the small side with little side support. For long trips we use the BMW, and definitely something to consider when buying the CX-5, which is hard to judge from short test drives. The rear seat heating with controls in the center backseat pulldown, along with USB and cupholders, is a nice design feature for passengers. There is enough rear cargo space to ferry around our two medium sized dogs, although they do need to be athletic to jump in as the car sits up fairly high. We haven't had enough experience with the remote starting and phone app, but do like the key sensing that locks and opens the door on exit and entrance. Overall, we are pretty happy with the purchase.
