It doesn't get better than this!

By DAP written on 05-08-2016

Go for the Grand Touring. More expensive but it has the safety features & bells & whistles. Great ride and typical Mazda fun performance. Great storage and a perfect size for a small SUV or cross over. The size is easy to maneuver and the sitting position puts you in a good position to see the road. I love the safety features and the integrated control consol is easy to use and great integrated technology. The ride is good and steering excellent. 2.5 liter is solid and has nice power. I'm very pleased with my purchase.

Love it!

I have had my CX5 for 2 months now, a good time for a review? So far so good! I decided to get a Mazda because we just loved my wife's mazda3 (now 3 or 4 years old). The CX5 has awesome styling and rides like a dream. I'm going to focus on some things not said as follows but I do love pretty much everything about this vehicle! The negatives are few but are worth pointing out. Backing up is difficult, the camera is awesome and helps a lot but seeing things that are not directly behind me is difficult. I now back into my parking spots because backing into traffic is darn near dangerous, I can not see anyone unless they are directly straight behind. That's the only real drawback and backing into slots is easy with the camera. I do like the cross traffic warning beep and speaking of warnings, I just LOVE the blind spot monitor. I don't have any issues with blind spots going forward but darn, these things really work so well and make me feel much safer! My seat is comfortable but I do sit at a goofy angle and the side supports do jab my side. I am forced to sit at a "proper" angle and I guess that's a good thing but is slightly irritating. I am averaging better gas mileage than most here are reporting. I started in the mid 20's but am now up to just over 30MPG. My driving mix is about 75 Highway/25% city so I'm quite pleased there. The Bose speakers are so very VERY nice, do spend the extra and get that, put some music on a flash drive and you can be forever in bliss! (I have a 32 gig drive and it holds several THOUSAND songs) I did get weathertech mats and I highly recommend them,well worth the extra cost. But I rarely use the trunk so I passed on mats back there, if you do the same, a neat tip is to use those other mats that came with the car as mas in the trunk. Not "custom fit" by any means but they don't look so bad and do the job! update: almost 8 months later and I still love it! a friend just bought a Hyundai Sonata and I scratch my head wondering WHY?

Functional and safe yet sporty and fun to drive!

I was looking for a crossover with AWD that sat higher up (I'm 5'4") so I could have good visibility. The seat and steering wheel are adjustable in several directions so that I was able to find the perfect combination. I bought a cargo mat right away and have already used it as a truck, loading it with bricks and a stone fountain with no problem. And best of all, it's fun to drive! I wanted something sporty and this delivers. I've never driven an automatic before and except for the occasional sluggish upshift, it's very responsive. It feels like a lot of car but handles well. For the occasional flashback to my days of VW GTI ownership, I turn on the "Sport" feature. I was hoping for better gas mileage--I do mostly city driving and average 22.4 mpg after one month of ownership. One small complaint is that because the controls for the front display (music, volume, mute, etc.) are on the floor panel in between the front row seats, the cup holders are farther back and harder to reach. Visibility is great though I wish the sunroof were larger. The 9-speaker Bose sound system was worth every penny!
