Great transport in snow and inclement weather.

No matter the weather condition the cx5 is a true off roader. Gentle in the highway and a brute off road All amenities at finger tips and excellent com system Bluetooth works seamlessly

Like my CX-5

Perfect car for my needs I am very pleased with the ownership experience however the dealership is less than desirable. I fully intend on getting another Mazda when my lease is up.

Leasing my cx-5

After driving the Mazda cx-5 it was my first choice... It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! It is very good on gas.. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive. Great car, but even better value!

A bang for your buck

I?m so happy to own a Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. It?s the perfect car that has a little luxury yet doesn?t cost very much. I?m satisfied with my little suv and I highly recommend purchasing this vehicle!

Very stylish , feels very safe as well as fun.

with all of the style, some folks will be reluctant to explore its utility (getting it to dirty), it feels very solid on the rough patches however.

Safest Car I have Owned

A safe and comfortable ride. Handles beautifully. Quiet ride. Side mirror safety lights are absolutely necessary in highway traffic. Automatic adjustable headlights are essential when driving curvy two lane rural roads at night.

Very good car

It's a pretty good car. I like my Bose Sound system a lot. The only thing I would like to have in addition is the integration with Android and/or Apple.

Pleasantly Surprised by Performance

I wanted a roomy SUV with power, after test driving lots of SUV?s in the compact range this one outdid them all. It was quieter, more powerful and had lots of extras. The fuel economy is great. The down side to a compact is not getting the bigger engine for towing options. Design wise- the steering wheel hides the start button and the passenger seat is pretty firm.
