Four golfers ride in style...

I wanted the smallest CUV that would hold four big golfers and their golf bags. The CX-5 is the sharpest looking, best equipped, best mileage car for the money that would hold my golfing buds plus bags. I admit to wishing it had another 25 hp when merging on the highway but then I average over 30mpg, so it is a trade off. Glad I bought the CX-5 over the CRV...it doesn't look so much like a soccer Mom car.

Nice Car

I chose the CX-5 for its gas mileage and sporty look over the CX-7 and 9. I have a Touring AWD model. At 2500 miles, I am at 26.5 mpg average, and it is gradually increasing. It is surprisingly spacious, and I really utilize the 40/20/40 split backseat functionality alot for cargo. I have cloth interior, and it seems to be standing up to 3 kids and a large dog. Overall, great buy.

Great SUV

I bought the Touring 2 months ago, and I dont have any complain about it. Drives smooth. The interior is well designed.

I bought a Grand Touring for my wife. She loves it!This Crossover Gets 26-28 in the city and up to 33 Hwy with all wheel drive, auto. Drives Smooth and corners like it's on rails in bad weather. It's Nice! I do wish they would offer more Manual Transmission options.

Excellent car

All the so called "premium" SUVs like Audi Q3, BMW X1 does not have the soul and feel of this car. They are still seling just thier brand names not the quality Japanese car has to offer. Driving SUV like compact car and feeling the joy of drive this is something this car gives to us. Congratulations Mazda, keep producing such cars for us.

Bring on $5.00 gas!

I traded in my V8 chevy truck for this Mazda. So far, I am so glad I did. I am 6'2" and I have leg room to drive and sit in the back seat. My drivers seat does not hit the back seat like most of the cars I've owned. There is a lot of room. I like the style and thank Mazda for taking the smile away for an aggresive look. I am saving so much gas now, I can pass the gas station by while remebering when it was a weekly stop to get gas. As for the get up and go...if you want that and dont' care about the gas mpg...go get a sports car. If you don't care about that and wanna save gas, then this car is for you. They sold 8 of them the Saturday I got mine. The price is right for all the options. I still can't stop smiling when I pass the gas stations.!!!

Beautiful inside and out

The styling and interior design of this care is what I love. I got the touring model so it has most of the bells and whistles which is nice. Blind spot monitoring, GPS, and the blue tooth make this car feel super high tech. Lots of room inside up front and in back. I really love this car just wish they would have had the turbo diesel available on this model when i bought mine. Gas mileage is good though. I still would definitely recommend this vehicle unless 0-60 is that important to you.
