Best vehicle I've ever owned!

This SUV met all of my families needs. I never have a complaint about my Mazda. I highly recommend the cx-5! Spacious back seat for the little ones.

Perfect size

Perfect sized SUV for someone who needs something a little bigger than a car. The CX-5 is visually appealing and highly rated. Drives super smooth but doesn’t feel like I’m driving a massive vehicle. Love it!

Sooo glad I bought this car!!

I absolutely love my new used 2016 Mazda CX-5!! I’ve only had it for about a month but I couldn’t be happier! It is so roomy and rides very smooth. Gas mileage is great and it has really comfortable seats. This is my first Mazda and I’m super impressed!!!

I loved this car.

Great performance, no problems ever. Wanted a luxury car now that I am retired, got a Lexus NX, actually miss my Madza, and it was better in a lot of ways.

Just purchased but so far love my choice!

Fun to drive, not as fancy as my sisters top or line Honda CR-V but more fun to drive. I love the color, car and am enjoying driving it everyday.

Best SUV in its class, even compete with higher cl

One of few SUVs I drove that felt like driving a car. Good dynamic, comfort, control, quiet, reliable. Will be again. But more likly will buy a 2nd tesla. Still, for gas SUVs, it's extremely good.

2016 CX5 CMU issue

The touch screen started to reboot himself . The service department told me that the CMU is not working and I have to replaced it. The quote 1500$. This is a pretty high price and I asked for details and they said that this “happened “. I did some research and I found that this is an issue with 2016 Mazda models Mazda 6, Mazda CX-3 , Mazda CX-5. Be ready to spend money.

Love it!

Just fast enough, great styling and handles like a more expensive European model. I wanted an AWD vehicle for the Chicago winters and something my Wife and I could get in and out of easily. Didn’t want a full sized SUV for environmental reasons so this CUV was perfect, not too big not too small.
