Perfect car!

I have been wanting a Mazda CX-5 since 2012 and finally was able to test drive one (and buy it)! It's perfect. It has just the right amount of space with out being too big. The interior was spotless! I love it!

Zippy sexy small SUV capable of everything!

For being under $30k this car is a steal! Its features and performance are comparable to other small suvs in the $40k range. The V6 gives it power to easily zip onto the highway and through traffic. Leather interior and features like passing indicators feel like you are driving a car that should cost much much more!

Hard to find a manual SUV. This is a great one!

No power to speak of. That's why it has a manual! Great car, great value, I plan to keep it for a decade or more.

Love this Mazda CX5, would recommend to anyone.

Lots of room inside for my 6'3" husband and son, handles like a dream, this car is so fun to drive, has lots of safety features, shows when there is someone in the lane beside you, back up camera, hands free phone, can adjust the radio from the steering wheel. Powerful moter gets on the highway without difficulty, great acceleration doesn't sound like its working hard at all. Takes corners like a race car. Very quiet, great sound system, a feature I will get but don't have yet is the navigation system. Very convenient, I have a garmin so didnt get it but will add it later. Very tight turning radius, doesnt slam everything forward when you have to stomp on the breaks, the car also stays stabilized if you gave to swerve around something doesnt jerk around, very smooth. Did i mention I love this car. If you are looking for a new car you need to test drive this car. I almost bought something else and would have been totally happy with it until I test drove this car and the performance and quality spoke tor itself and left all the rest wanting in overall performance and quality. I knew the minute I test drove it that it was the car for me, and while I liked some of the other cars I test drove, this was love at first site. You need to give the Mazda CX5 an opportunity to show you what it can do. Its amazing. You need to test drive this car, if you want quality, performance, speed, handling,and great looks at an affordable price this us the car for you too.

Fun to drive; great value

I have owned my 2015 Mazda CX5 for three years now. Bought it off of the lot. Currently it has 34,000+ miles on it and I love it still. I did have to have a belt tension unit replaced under warranty and a couple of recalls, but everything else has been great about it. It did take a little time to get used to a 4 cylinder engine, since my previous daily driver was a BMW 330ci with a 6 cylinder, but it moves just fine. I really love being higher up in traffic than I was in the BMW and I love the safety features the Mazda has. I would seriously consider getting another one when this one gets too old.

CX-5 sharp and sexy

The Mazda CX-5 is a well design car. It has great gas mileage and sexy design. Handling is great, it is very nimble and takes corners great for an SUV crossover It looks great in red, blue and silver.
