Fun! Practical! Love it! Big bang for my buck too!

By HVC written on 04-30-2016

(Have now had my 2016.5 CX5 for ~2.5 years...update at end...) I had a Mazda 5 Touring (2012) before I got my new Mazda CX5 2016.5 -- I loved the Mazda 5 but I love the CX5 even more! Technically they are just about the same size, and the mazda 5 was peppy and fun to drive but the Mazda CX5 is just a blast. Impressive acceleration for its size. I have the Grand Touring, black with parchment & black leather interior and it looks and feels classy but sporty. It is easy to get into and out of (I'm 5'3") and easy too for me to use the hatch back door. I wasn't sure about the rear camera at first, but I really like it too. The extra driving safety features (lane change proximity warnings, rear camera motion detectors) are really impressive. Needed too - because if I had just one quibble, it is that while driving looking out the back, seeing something in the blind spot -is tough tough. The mazda 5 had much greater visibility. But - the lane change warning system and rear camera totally make up for the CX5's rear visibility weakness. Overally - very, very happy with my mazda 5. I got it because I moved to a more rural area and needed some kind of AWD suv, and have been very pleasantly extra surprised by how nice and fun the CX5 is to drive and ride in. Update#1- its May 2017 and I've had my CX5 for 14 months. Still in love :) Its been a wonderful car over all. I'm at 22k miles, because I do a lot of highway driving for my job, and there have been no mechanical issues at all. The only things I've had happen have been a bit of fate/bad luck - a semi threw a stone at the windshield and cracked it. Replacement, because the model has rain sensors, ended up being $400 instead of just $250 for a plain old windshield. That was a little bit of a bummer because I haven't really seen the rain sensing software do much more or better than just manually adjusting the windshield wiper speed when its raining. The other issue has just been tires - I had the mis fortune of getting 3 flats. 1 nail and two sharp rocks, and ended up having to replace two of the tires. And the tires were in the $225/ea range instead of the $100-$150 range the Mazda 5 was in. But those are minor things. Overall the CX5 has been awesome and fun to drive. It has impressive pickup/acceleration for its size and price. I'd effeminately buy it again. Update#2 - May 2018 - the CX5 remains an awesome car! Rock solid and fun to drive. Definitely would buy it again! I've put a lot of freeway miles (and hours) on it driving between the Bay area in California and southern Oregon and its been a great road trip car, besides being a great all around car.

Hands down the best choice in its class

By Alan A written on 06-17-2016

I'd been looking at replacing my 2002 PT Cruiser for quite some time, and have been researching compact SUVs for about a year. After reading reviews, comparing a wide range of vehicles, and test driving several top choices, there simply was no comparison. The CX-5 was hands down the winner on so many levels. I splurged on the Grand Touring trim with the technology and i-Activsense package. The adaptive cruise control and radar assisted emergency braking is a great safety feature. I only have a little over 500 miles on the car thus far, but I'm getting great gas mileage. I love the outstanding styling, inside and out and great use of space. The perforated leather seats are comfy and cool. My critiques thus far are few: The ignition switch is hidden behind the bulky windshield wiper control stalk. A minor annoyance. The navigation system does not have real-time traffic monitoring and rerouting. That's about it. Everything else is just about perfect. 1 year update: A little more than a year later, I still think this is a absolutely fantastic choice. The car drives confidently and securely. If rumors are to believed, the lack of real time traffic monitoring will be irrelevant if Mazda follows through on its promise to install Apple Car Play.

Great car for the price

By Mark V written on 09-07-2016

I bought this car after owning a 2005 Mazda Tribute for past 11 years and so far I love my CX-5 Touring SUV. I paid $24,500 with the moon roof and bose option which is a decent price for this car and better than what I would have paid for comparable cars such as the Ford Escape and Honda CRV. This car comes equipped with some great standard features such as the info system, back up camera, and heated seats. The drive and comfort of the car is fantastic and I don't have one complaint. Most important, for people like myself who want a car with great power for a 4 cylinder car, this car feels like a V6, which was my number one priority. You can't go wrong with this car.
