Reliable First car material.

This is my first car and the first time I've driven a SUV and I'm amazed at how fast I've gotten used too it. I can't imagine driving anything else. The safety features and heated seats/ steering wheel included are a game changer for me personally.

review 2017 Mazda cxx-5

Great car, big bang for the money. Rides & drives very well. I have owned 2 other Mazda vehicles before this one, and if this one is as good as the others I will be very happy.

Great vehicle..Zoom Zoom!

I like the comfort & style of our Mazda. We just traded in our 2014 Mazda CX-5 for this 2017. Loved it too but we wanted to try the AWD. So far we like the 2017. I would like to see the manufacturer put higher quality tires on it. The phone & radio operates differently but am getting used to it. The warnings and back up camera is great! Love the soul red color too!

Very Impressed

Ride and comfort are impressive compared to the Chevy. Of all the cars like this one it's the best IMO.

Love this vehicle!

First new car purchase. Loved the styling of this car. When new body changes came out for 2017...had to have it. Ordered one before I even drove one based on the awesome reviews. I am not disappointed. Rides like a much more expensive vehicle. No road noise! Interior looks better than some BMW and Benz interiors of my friends. Mechanically no issues in 6 months. Easy to drive and fun. Can't wait for my next road trip. Buy this vehicle!

Worth the wait

Like many others I did a lot of research for about 2 years. When the 2017 was announced, I was done. I could not find one so I went to the dealer and told them I wanted the first soul red GT they got. They had ordered one months before and I was able to track it on it's journey from Japan. I knew when it was loaded on the boat and every step to arrival in North Texas. It is my first Mazda and I have never loved a car so much. I have had it since April of 2017. It has 4500 miles on it and it lives a the garage. It was a bit concerning to write a $33,000.00 check but just try to ever take it away from me. Absolutely amazing car.

Fun to drive

This car surprised me. I test drove it and compared it to other cars in it's class and found it to be more fun to drive than the others. The interior design really is easy for the driver to have everything you need at your fingertips.

NIce but not great ar

I traded in a 2015 for the new CX5 model. I really like how quiet the car is, and wanted some of the GT features including auto rear lift in back and the XM radio, which doesn''t come in other models. I wish they would put armrests in the car. Also the headrest presses my head forward and is not fully adjustable. I/m getting 27.6 on the highway at 75 mph and 25 in the city. The dashboard with that pop up screen is not very pretty but is practical since you don't have to look down to see it. I don't find the exterior to be particularly stylish. Also the high hood in front (raised from the last model) makes it harder for short people to see beyond the front of the car. You hear a lot less road noise, but the engine is still loud and underpowered.

Very satisfied.

Traded a Jeep Cherokee--like our new CX5 even better. Has all the extra amenities we like. Concerned it would not have as many as our previous Cherokee, but is even better.
