I love my Mazda CX5,

This car met all of my needs. It's very spacious with a lot of leg room in the front and back. It has 3place to charge your phone. I love the color and the style o the body. It gives you a smooth ride everyone and I love the Bose system.....Zoom, zoom!

Very happy

This car has lots of interior space without being a behemoth on the road. Good gas mileage, good visibility from drivers seat, and lots of safety features.

If you want a compact SUV this is the one!

If you?re into this sort of car, then Mazda CX-5 is your gadget. Premium quality and performance with very well balanced design. They thought of everything for you and perfected it in an unrepeatable manner. Use it for whatever it is built for and you?ll love your self more for doing that.

In LOVE with this car

I researched small SUVs for about a year before finally settling on the Mazda CX5. I test drove several other makes and models (Jeep Patriot, Compass, Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue) and none of them were as fun to drive as the Mazda. It is fun to drive, the Bluetooth is super easy to use, the interior is roomy. Visibility was a huge factor in my purchase, and the Mazda is super easy to see out of- The Lane Assist feature and backup camera are both very useful. I'm happy every time I walk out of my house or work and see this cute, reliable car waiting for me.

Seat fabric is shameful

I love everything about my car except the seats!!!! I have tan cloth seats. They literally ?stain? with rain water or any drop of water! I?ve had them steam cleaned 3 times in one year. Water marks in a new car are unsightly. It?s so bad it makes me want to trade it in. Do not buy tan cloth if you like clean or have children under 10!

Best small family SUV out there.

I had this car for about two years. I bought this car before the birth of my first child and kept it for a while after the birth of my second child. Never once did it have any mechanical issues or issues of any kind. Totally A reliable car that I would recommend to any of my friends and family the only reason that I?m getting rid of because my family has outgrown it I think I might even update to the CX-9 instead.

Wonderful Sporty Ride

Changing to an SUV from a 3/4 ton truck was a big step. The CX5 is proving to be an excellent choice. The interior is spacey enough for friends and/or my dog. The "sport" feature may get me into trouble but man that car fly with the flip of one switch. I did have a transmission problem at 60K miles but Mazda Central stepped right up and replaced it with no issues.

Resonably priced SUV

I compared this SUV to Nissan and Hyundai and felt this was the best value SUV. Looks good, smooth ride, no complaints. Glad I bought it.
