An excellent vehicle for the price

This car has many, many features and looks much more expensive than it is. It's ride is smooth and seats are very comfortable. The performance of the engine is more than adequate.

This is gonna be a fun ride

The look, the feel, the ride are exceptional and the Mazda engineering and attention to driver and passenger safety and convenience is spot on, most impressive.

In shop after one month

Bought 2 mazda's and within in the first month, both had to go in the shop for different repairs. The whole point of buying new was to avoid repairs but I've had used cars that didn't require any repairs for many years.

It looks great, peppy too

I am purchasing one in a couple of days, I had to get the color I want from another lot. It is nice because I am coming from a cvt transmission that I don't like its a Corolla.

Keeps Getting Better!

Traded my 2014 CX-5 AWD Grand Touring for the 2018 CX-5 AWD Grand Touring and frankly I didn't think there would be much difference, but Mazda has really upgraded this model with all the right features. Great car, great ride, no regrets. I'm currently getting an extra 1.5 mpg as an added bonus. It just keeps getting better!
