2016 Mazda CX-5 consumer reviews

I love this car!! Sport mode is awesome. For an SUV it’s still nice and agile, not super bulky. Interior is beautiful and super high tech. It’s like a luxury vehicle but for half the price. Good on gas mileage and reliable. No problems at all.

It’s a great car, excellent condition, never been in an accident, great gas mileage, lots of room inside for storage, immaculate records kept, one owner car bought new, selling cause we are moving.

Handles great, and rides smooth and quiet. It's nice and roomy, but not too big. Good gas mileage. Highly recommend! Nice factory sound system. Added Apple Car Play and love it!

Love the Exterior - Super sharp! Reliability is very good from what I've read. I only kept it 3 months, though, and traded it in for a Subaru Forester. I'm 5'0" tall, and could never get the seat/pedals/steering combo to fit me correctly. Also, visibility is poor, like so many SUVs are these days, due to wide roof pillars, windows are not tall enough or wide enough, & the 4 headrests are in the way of viewing out the side and back as well. Try to get Blind Spot Monitoring & Rear Cross Traffic Alert to help with the visibility issue. My interior was Black, and I felt like I was driving around in a dark cave. The SUBARU FORESTER, however has tall, wide windows, smaller headrests, a standard moonroof on the 2nd trim level (the Premium), so there is visibility and light galore!! They also are much more proactive about offering light-colored seats, which also helps it to not be so dark inside. I don't have blind spot monitoring in it, but I don't need it because the visibility is so good! The LCD screen & features are much more pleasant and user friendly than the Mazda's. The Mazda's will not let you select a certain Radio Station, you have to scroll through all of your stations to find it. Also, it will not let you touch your LCD screen while you're driving, but they force you to look down at the console area & use controls down there to operate the screen while driving, which is super unsafe!! The Mazda has a lot going for it, but I because of the above, I wouldn't really recommend it. But some of it is due to personal preference, as well as my short height. The Subaru Forester is well worth the extra money I paid for it! I LOVE it every single day I'm driving it. I traded a 2016Mazda CX-5 Touring for a 2016 Subaru Forester Premium 2.5i. Best decision I've made in a long time!!

This was the first car I ever purchased. I have had it for 2 1/2 years and it has been my companion for many adventures. I love this car and I am sad to let it go because it is spacious, fun to drive and one of the best SUV's around.

Leased this in 2016 and will likely buy it, has low miles, still looks modern and is a comfortable, reliable vehicle. While the dealer is absolutely terrible (Bay Ridge Mazda) the car has been a dream

The car has meant my expectation so far. Handles great on the road and open highway. It also has get and go when you need it

My wife and I have loved this car. We've taken in on many road trips and it's been great. Its comfortable and has is a smooth ride. No turbo, but sport mode is just as good in my opinion. It takes hills like a champ. The only thing I would change about it would be making it a tiny bit bigger to allow for more storage for longer trips.

I drive this car every day and It is a very smooth ride and very comfortable. Handles very well, can't say enough good things about it.

Very reliable and great handling. The tech package is a great bonus and makes driving and navigating safe and easy. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a reliable and sporty SUV
