Clearly no one with hands on the power steering at mazda ever bothered to even drive it here on long winding highways for hours. Give me a break. Total oversight. I'd pay good money to sponsor one mazda engineer or executive from mazda japan to drive it on a livestream for hours nonstop on these winding roads. That'll make for a hilarious video as they squirm. I can drive no power steering multicabs just fine, city unassisted power steering is about as miserable as the cx5 is on the highway. Both TRASH. Wasted my damn money. The worst part about all this is I know no power steering is light at high speeds, dangerously so. That means Mazda lazily set the highway steering so heavy as to butcher the "luxury" they purport to deliver. The test drive completely mislead me because new tires have "tire squirm" (less traction) and the tires weren't deflated properly at the dealer before purchase making it even lighter. Almost felt like a honda when I first got it. The ride was harsh so it was 100% overinflated. Scammers!!!

Purchased 2025 Mazda CX 5 Preferred 2.5. It drives and responds great. In a car that I look for handling is most important to me and the Mazda handles really nice. I understand the ride quality and the seats could be approved BUT at the end of the day if I need my car to handle in a situation then I have no worries. The AWD is nice and I currently am coming upon 5000 miles and no issues. I previously had a 2024 Mazda CX 5 Preferred 2.5 and I had 18.600 miles on it when I traded it in on the 2025. I traded because of Mazda's 2.9% incentive. My 2024 was nice and so is the 2025. It rides well enough for me and I get 28 mpg and the engine does nicely. My real gripe is that the 2nd row leg room is so cramped BUT other than that I am all smiles

First Mazda purchase in 25+ years, and I am simply blown away at the quality of this '25 CX-5 Select (it's made in Japan). Fit and finish are flawless. The interior looks and feels very upscale, and the car is VERY quiet on the road, very little wind or road noise. Very comfortable ride, smooth with just enough of a sport handling feel for me. No need for a turbo engine, as it has plenty of power in all capacities. My only worry with the vehicle was the MPG, but the first 500 miles of mixed driving I am getting over 29 mpg. This should only get better as I break the car in ! I've owned a few dozen cars in my time (Toyotas, Hondas, Subarus, Fords, Mazdas), this is probably my fave of them all.

2025 Mazda CX-5 2.5 Turbo Signature 4dr SUV AWD (2.5L 4cyl Turbo 6A)

The CX5 delivers as per the title. Plenty of HP and I fill it with 94. I like the extra HP. There is no Turbo lag .Conversations with rear passengers at highway speed is easy. This SUV is very quiet. Finally, Edmunds nailed it with the handling. Smooth ride, agile cornering and flat out fun to drive. Excellent AWD system that feel safe with all weather tires on summer and winter . The interior puts pricier luxury models to shame. Excellent fit and finish. The Signature is more expensive than its competitors, but I can drive next to high end SUVs itwith pride and satisfaction.
