I love my new CX-5!

By deblamp written on 05-03-2015

I traded in my year old 2014 CX-5 because of the updates to the 2016 model. I am so happy I did! I never thought I would own a white car but the Crystal White Pearl color is beautiful and looks great on this car. Everything I would have had on my wish list for the 2014 was updated on the 2016. The improvements are excellent and as happy as I was with my 2014, I am ecstatic with the new one!

Highly recommendable!

Update 5/7/18: my CX-5 is just about to hit 65,000 miles and my husband and I still love and recommend it! We love our CX-5 so much we?re thinking of getting a new 2018 version and selling our 2016 to our daughter. Great car! Update 11/7/17: my CX-5 is now over two years old and just hit 50,000 miles. Still love the car and recommend it to others. Haven't had any problems with the car and is still getting better than expected gas mileage. Update 11/5/16: After owning my CX-5 for over a year now, I am still happy with my purchase. Currently I have 26,000+ miles on my CX-5 and I am averaging around 26ish mpg in mix driving. On the highway I get around 27 to 30 mpg. I am disappointed with the fuel tank capacity. Around town, I get around 350 miles out of a tank, which I wish was more. As far as reliability goes, I have had two minor issues. The first was a tire pressure sensor stopped working and needed a trip to the dealer to be reset. The second was the latch holding the center arm rest broke. Overall I still really like my CX-5. It is comfortable, gets good gas mileage, really fun to drive, and not a CR-V or RAV4 like everyone else drives. If you are in the market for a compact CUV, put the CX-5 on your list! After almost three months of owning my CX-5, I could not be happier. My husband and I have been Ford owners for the past 15+ years, but after hearing not-so-great things about real-world fuel economy of the Eco-Boost engines and reliability issues with the newer models, we decided to look elsewhere. We were attracted to Mazdas because Mazda is able to achieve the same performance and fuel efficiency standards as its competitors without the added complexity of turbo charged engines and nontraditional transmissions (CVTs). What I like most about my Mazda is that it is different from every other CR-V/RAV4/Equinox/Escape that everyone and their neighbor drives. Overall, I am very impressed with the car! The interior has very nice fit and finish, good ergonomics, and is comfortable for my husband, and our teenage daughter. Coming from Ford's I do miss the puddle lights and keyless entry keypad. I came to appreciate those features over the years and would not have thought I would have missed those, but I do. I also wish Mazda would illuminate the window switches. It is 2015, why is this not a standard feature on all cars? My 1997 Ford Contour had illuminated switches. I also wish the backseat reclined. All of its competitors have reclining back seats. Finally, I wish Mazda would add a "winter" package that included heated seats and automatic headlights. I did not want leather seats, and because so, we bought a Touring model that does not have these features. Most of the competitors offer these features on the mid trim, so why cannot Mazda? While this may seem like a long list, these are little things are not make-or-break it features. The car has great steering feel, road comfort, and the drive train is top notch. The transmission shifts incredibly smoothly and paired with the 2.5l engine, I am never wanting more power. As far as fuel economy goes, I am really appreciating the efficiency that the CX-5 gets. In mixed driving, my AWD Touring model is getting about 27 mpg, and on the one highway trip we took it on, we got 31 mpg. Very impressive! Overall, I would highly recommend anyone to look at CX-5 if they are shopping for a compact CUV!

Outstanding! Just two small gotchas

This 2016 CX-5 GT with full tech packageis my replacement for my 2012 BMW X-3. Mazda has better Interior and technology. Road handling is only slightly less acute and acceleration above 60 mph is the only range where BMW is better. Is the BMW worth and extra $22k. Not a chance! Besides, I was quite tired of the BMW dealership trying every trick in the book to cheat me on deals or returns. We are very happy with the CX-5. The GPS is far, far superior than that in out 2014 Prius. However the Mazda Traffic display has to be the lamest traffic warning system I have ever seen. It is a very low resolution display with no ability to scroll east-west or to change zoom scale. In a word, entirely useless. The manual hints that better data is available for display, however, we can not find it. The adaptive hi beam system when in "Auto" mode for the headlights only pops up hi beams when traveling more than 30 mph and only when there is no traffic coming or going from the front sensor. Very inconvenient.
