Driving a Cx-5 Again!

Initially I bought a used 2019 Cx-5 a few years ago. I should have done more research on the model years. The car had "Ghost Screen" issues and a leaking rear shock suspension. Needless to say, I traded it in while I could for a Cx-30. Very nice car but as time went on, it became clear I needed something bigger. Rather than buy used again, bought a new 2025 Cx-5, that I really enjoy. The interior quality is there that's missing in Mazda's other models (cx-30 & 50). The ride is smooth and enjoyable, minimal wind noise and I love the layout and functionality of the physical buttons. Purchased the NA for better long-term reliability and have no regrets. Best car purchase so far!

We are a four Mazda family! We love Mazdas, as they are a lot of car for the price and they are reasonable to insure. Our most recent purchase was a 2024 Mazda CX-5 Preferred trim. It's beautiful and runs like a dream.

It's fine, but lots of annoyances.

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

Pros: Good horsepower and torque. Good seat height. Easy to park. Mileage is as expected: 24 MPG combined Premium gas, and 25 MPG combined Regular gas. Good passing power. Good fit and finish. Cons: Cocoa brown seat color leads to a very hot car interior in the summer. Regular gas leads to engine rattles even though Mazda says you can use it. Dashboard buttons are way too small, way too low, and hard to read. Steering wheel is only heated at 9, 10, 2 and 3 o'clock. Remote only works within 30' of car. Remote sometimes does not work even seated in car with remote in your pocket; a message comes up that the signal is too weak. Transmission is clunk compared to Hondas. GPS is not user friendly. Key fob is massive and yet has tiny, hard to read buttons on the side. No option to turn on/off the heads up display except for that particular drive. Piano black dust collector on center console. You cannot lock the doors while the tailgate is up or closing; you must wait 20 painful seconds while the tailgate closes and locks. Side door water bottle holder does not hold water bottles vertically, but instead at a weird angle, so make sure your water bottle cap is really tight!
Beautiful but Uncomfortable

I bought a new Mazda CX5 Signature in June, drove it for one month and traded it. After reading reviews seeing high marks for build quality and performance, I picked a CX5 with signature trim and a turbo charged 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. The car was beautiful and well built. I enjoyed the quickness of the turbo 4 and the dark brown leather interior with wood trim was very appealing. However, regardless of the appearance, the seats were terribly uncomfortable and the interior was very cramped for both front and back seat occupants. Even with power adjustable front seats, I could never find a seat setting that I was happy with. The seats were very hard and narrow, and even after short drives, I found myself trying to find an acceptable and comfortable seat position. I would encourage anyone that is considering a Mazda take a long test drive before deciding to purchase and pay particular attention to interior space and comfort. Mazda could really take some lessons from Subaru and Honda on these points.

I bought CX5 last February just because my son need a car, I gave him my 2010 CX7 ( which is running so good with 190K on it). My new CX5 is really fun to drive esp in highway. I didn't notice about the slow brake as some complained. Kind of not nice if the speed is under 15miles/hour but once you pick up a speed, it run so smooth and powerful. Of course as expected the back seat have no space and small cargo space.
