Love my Mazda CX-5

We own both a 6 and CX-5. We are Mazda owners for life. We have owned 4 Mazda 6?s and my husband chose the CX5 over his Infinity. More car for the dollar.

2017 is much improved

I traded up from 2014 to 2017 CX-5 GT. The updated exterior is very beautiful. The luxurious improvements to the interior make this add a lot of class to this car. The improvements to noise reduction are very good. The added weight for those changes are countered with tweaks in the transmission shift points. Heads up display is a nice feature. Steering is probably a little less nimble on the corners than my 2014. I really love my new 2017.

very good not great SUV

I upgraded from a 2015 CRV to the new model. The reasons- amazing soundproofing, auto rear hatch, interior styling, wound system, great driving car. What I don't like- headrest somewhat uncomfortable and higher front hood reduces visibility especially if you are short, navigation system is awful, no XM radio if you don't buy grand touring version, actual highway mileage only 28 at 75 mph.. I'm happy I upgraded and still prefer this car to comparable priced competitors.

A car you can count on when you need it the most

This car has 4X4 and is very capable of getting you where you need to go when the roads are impassible

beautiful car

I looked for a crossover vehicle for several months before deciding on the Mazda CX 5. It has everything I wanted, All Wheel Drive, Remote Start, Heated leather seats, back up camera and it is tall enough that I can see around other vans, trucks etc. The style is awesome. I love the look of the front end and the Bose stereo is a pleasant surprise. You cannot beat the price compared to other similar cars. Go buy one and you'll see why I like it so much!

Excited

I have a 2010 Mazda Grand Touring CX7 with 65,000 mi that I love and want to replace.. I believe the CX5 Grand Touring will do the trick. I like the Mazda car, especially the Grand Touring package. Looking forward to it.

This Mazda CX5 gets Better every drive!!

I was totally ready to purchase the Rav4 Hybrid after owning 2 Subaru outbacks and test driving the Honda CRV which was top rated. For some reason I was not impressed with the CRV. I just happen to read an article on the 2017 Mazda CX5. Took one for a test ride and was I impressed. I purchased the top of line AWD model with the Premium Package and love almost everything about it. The two negatives are the side view mirrors which are not mounted forward enough in my opinion and the moonroof is also not forward enough. Things I love include the heated steering wheel, heads up display on the windshield, heated rear seats, handling and the interior design. I feel it is much more superior than any car in this price bracket. On a side note, Mazda had an incentive in one part of the country and no where else. I actually purchased out of state and saved $2000.00.

Love it

I love my new Mazda CX-5. It rides well and the gas mileage is great. The Navigation system works great as I use it a lot in my job. I like the comfort of the car, with everything within arms reach.
