2015 Mazda CX-5 consumer reviews

I have really enjoyed this car to the fullest. Practical, perfect size SUV, 6-speed (which is ultra rare), and gets me over 30 mpg+. The only negative is the power. I have added a cold air intake on mine to give it a little more uumph, but I know it makes up for it in fuel savings. The only reason we are getting rid of our CX-5 is because our family is growing and so, the CX-9 has our name written all-over it. Time to upgrade!

Styling is subjective but it's great looking inside and out in my eyes. Mazda strikes a great balance between comfort and handling. If comfort is all you care about, then there are better choices out there. But if you like to throw it around the corners a bit, then nothing in this class can beat the CX-5.

As I was buying a car for the first time, I've been struggling to find the perfect affordable, reliable SUV. The CX5 seemed to be the best one and I'm really happy with my choice. It drives perfectly, it's really comfortable, and I stayed in the price range that I was aiming. I definitely recommend it.

its comfortable, nice features, good design, but the car has no pick up at all which makes it hard to go up hills, also very loud on the highway.

Love the car! Had it over a year now and everyone that drives it also comments how fun it is to drive!

I wanted to be completely happy with this Mazda CX-5. I did a lot of research and found a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle at a reasonable price. I was greatly reassured by the 150-point inspection and the new car warranty still in effect and the additional extended warranties. I was told the cars must be restored to like-new condition to be sold a CPO. I have had the car a week, so my review will not speak to long-term reliability. The good: I love the backup camera and blind spot warnings. I like the keyless entry. It is quite convenient to carry the key fob and not have to remove it from my waistpack. The vehicle is peppy. I do not have premium sound, but the sound is quite adequate for my purposes. Some complaints I read about certain features I found to be untrue, such as the liftgate not locking and an inability to store radio stations. I have the Touring model with no added features. I love being able to carry a substantial music library with me on a USB flashdrive, although there is a Technical Service Bulletin that addresses a couple of quirks that I discovered having to do with the playlists and also SMS messaging, but they are not dealbreakers even if Mazda will not replace the head unit. Here is the downside, and this does relate to my specific car, but maybe others, and is certainly part of what one should know when buying a vehicle. A CPO vehicle must pass a 150-point inspection and everything is supposed to be brought back to near new standards. I have the remainder of the 36 month/36,000 mile bumper-to-bumper warrranty and also an extension of that as a CPO vehicle owner. Unfortunately, it appears that one item was missed, and there is a TSB on it that the service department did not advise me of. I am now in a battle to get a suspension issue resolved that manifested three miles away from the lot when I first took possession of the vehicle and hit my first speed bump. The "chirp" sound that I believe is identified on the TSB that includes my vehicle VIN range and date of build has been classified as a squeak that is excluded from coverage under the warranty. If I ask them to look at it and they say there is no repair covered under the warranty, I will have to pay for the diagnostics. Mazda headquarters has to pre-approve the diagnostics before anything can be done under warranty. I am very disappointed that my dealership and Mazda corporate are making it so difficult for me to get this fixed. This is not an old car. It shouldn't be having age-related rattles and squeaks and, if it is having them, they should be covered. I have not abused the car nor neglected maintenance. I haven't had it long enough! The sounds did not appear on the test drive. The appeared when I drove it home. I am very disappointed in Mazda for making this so difficult and even a bit scary to think I will have to do battle over these kinds of things. I guess time will tell as to the vehicle's reliability and Mazda's willingness to stand by their vehicles and support their customers.

Love it. Fun to drive. Very high- tec. Amazing safety features. Extremely smooth ride. Amazing Bose sound system. Best headlights ever.

Our Mazda CS-5 is about 5 months old.... love the car... great hauling kids and plenty of room and features. BUT, having said that, it did leave me stranded. 5 month old car and on the side of the road with a AAA call to come pick it up. Ends up being the transmission. Had it hauled to the shop and they got the codes..... not sure exactly what they did.... reflashed some softward maybe.... but so far, running like a champ again.

My wife and i have owned our 2015 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD for about a year and in that time have driven it for 45,000 very enjoyable miles. Fuel mileage is good for an all wheel drive CUV averaging 27 MPG in mixed driving. We live in South Dakota were interstate speed limits are 80 MPH so if driven slightly slower it would likely average even better. I have found that while the ride may be firmer than most it is also more nimble and sporty feeling than most other CUV's I have driven. All weather traction has been commendable. In terms of reliability it has been absolutely flawless. Having owned many utility vehicles over the years I have found the Mazda CX-5 to be my favorite to date.

My new Mazda CX-5 is what I hoped for in an SUV. It is a smooth ride, handles great. It accelerates on the freeway fine, and keeps up with the traffic. The leather seats in the Grand Touring model are very comfortable. The whole vehicle is very tight in handling and interior quality. The back cargo area works good for my dog, and I ordered the cargo liner to keep the pet hair off the carpet in the cargo area. An overall great choice and buy.
