Smoothest suv I?ve ever driven

I love this car. It drives so smooth. I was used to a dodge nitro v6 engine and was worried this Mazda CX-5 wouldn?t give me the same power. It definitely makes me feel powerful still but in a smoother way.

Love this car!

I?ve had this car since Dec. 2013 - going on 5 years now. I?ve put about 35,000 miles on it - just changed the tires - breaks still have half way to go. It?s so comfortable - it?s fast (for not having a V6) - it?s got great sound. The only glitchy thing I don?t like about this car is the audio playback from Bluetooth. Sometimes it doesn?t connect right away - and if you shuffle the songs from your iPhone and hit next on the car to go to the next song - it no longer shuffles. A real pain when you have a ton of songs and you can?t skip around. Back up camera is great, the system that alerts you when there?s a car in your blind spot works great. I really love this car!

Safe and Reliable

After driving a rear-wheel X-terra in Colorado, this thing has been a dream. The biggest seller for me was that it automatically senses moisture and switches into AWD when necessary, improving gas mileage and of course, safety. It's very comfortable, especially in the cold with the heated seats. It has great power and a smooth ride. I love all of the features, especially the backup camera and bluetooth connectability.

A drivers car, engaging, performing, fun!

Grand Touring FWD, 53k, average 28.8 mpg on 87 octane. Zero breakdown issues. Always serviced at dealer. This car handles with ZOOM-ZOOM! Precise steering, corners flat, 6 speed auto extremely responsive, Good brakes, A TRUE FUN CAR TO DRIVE THE TWISTIES! Just fine around town/suburbs, but uncomfortable for 800-700 mile daily drives. Extremely reliable, low maintenance, great off-the-line acceleration and just a fun car for those who love to drive and attack the "twisties" this car is a keeper and a hauler!

Has Features Found Only on More Expensive Vehicles

This car provides great value for the money. It features options like blind spot monitoring and dual climate control that are only found on more expensive vehicles. It has been tremendously reliable for 82,000 miles, not a single issue. There are two areas where I have not been satisfied. The first is the Navigation system. Traffic info is great. Voice recognition is mediocre at best. Finding nearest point of interest is near useless because it doesn't tell you direction. Most people use their phones these days anyway. The second issue is i have found the seats to bear uncomfortably on my hip. This may be purely a personal issue. If you are comfortable in the seat on long drives, then I highly recommend this vehicle.

It's the most beautiful car I've ever owned.

This car is perfect! Great vehicle for all types of weather. It was extremely well taken care of by its previous owner so it seemed brand new to me. It's gorgeous, runs great, doesn't quite have the "get up and go" that I was used to with my Honda, but it has enough for what I need. And did I mention it's gorgeous?! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Love it.

Best car I have ever owned

This car fits all my needs, Leather interior, heated seats, electric windows, and seats. Automatic lights and windshield wipers, moonroof, back up screen in color, navigation screen, Bluetooth screen for making telephone calls and automatic startup for those frigid morning and evening drives.

Mazda CX-5

It was fine. Not worth what the dealer was asking though. Have still been looking for a reasonable priced car. Wish me luck and good luck to you as well.
