I love this car

I'd read many reviews of the CX-5, and they were uniformly positive. However, I had no idea how very awesome it is: it is "zippy," AWD with good mpg, and has a sensible interior design for the driver. I was a little surprised that I had to fold down cargo seats to fit some things, but the seats DO fold down, no problem. It also has a great safety rating.

Absolutely love my new vehicle

I had a Chevy Tahoe and it was time to down size. I wanted another SUV that was sporty, fun to drive and good on gas. After doing my research and test driving other SUVs in this category I bought the CX5. I am so happy that I did. It has a wonderful interior with easy to use dash features. You get a lot of little extras in this vehicle that the others did not have at this price point.

Almost perfect.

This car is nearly everything i look for in a car. It only lacks a few amenities that i would love for it to have. I wish it had a sunroof and automatic rear door. But it works fine and gets good miles.

2017 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring

We test drove a '17 Toyota RAV4 SE first and did not like the stiffer ride. We then test drove a '17 Mazda CX-5 GT and liked the ride much more, smooth and quiet. Not sure that it is a fair compare of the ride because we did not test the Toyota RAV4 Limited. Love the Soul Red on the Mazda CX-5 and the black leather seating.

very good family car

This is a very good vehicle for people with kids, who need space. The trunk is awesome. It has the sport button, so whenever you feel like you need more power you just press the button.

Very reliable car

I love how roomy the front seat is the Nissan Rogue that we own does not have that much room in the front

1st SUV - love it

I upgraded from a 2012 Mazda 3 after the birth of my son. I needed something higher up to make it easier getting him in/out. I love this car! I had to have all of the features that my loaded 2012 had. This does. The only think i miss is the manual transmission. The car is ok on gas, very comfortable and looks awesome. It drives and handles great. I got the Grand Touring version again because I like the way it looks better. We added dark tinting on all windows. I have no complaints. I would buy this again.
