Nicest Ride

This car is perfect for my lifestyle. All the comforts of home on wheels. It has more bells and whistles of any car I have ever owned.

High End cx-5

This car drives like a dream and has so many impressive safety features you feel well protected from Florida driving ! The lane assist is awesome as the steering wheel will shake should you get outside your lane. The warning LEDs on the mirror for passing are awesome. I which all cars had this feature....This is on the high end CX-5. The one with the hologram instrument panel image in the wind screen !

Great vehicle, quiet and smooth ride.

Easy to drive, great sound system. One of the best looking suv's out there. I like to drive somthing that looks different from all the other crossovers and the Mazda CX-5 give me that.

Best Car I've Owned!

The new CX-5 is hands down the best car I've ever owned. I have had BMWs and Mercedes and it trumps them by far, especially the reliability. The best part is you don't pay for all the extras that you would in the high-end cars, rather they are built into the modest price. This is my second CX-5 and I will keep buying Mazda. More for your money!!

VALUE AND STYLE...UNBEATABLE

VALUE AND STYLE ALL IN ONE! I went from a Lexus RX350 to a CX-5 and couldn't be happier! I halved my car pmt. and have more features than before! I love the interior design of the car. Everything important is at my fingertips and it's all very well thought out. I'm truly in love with this car. The lines of it and exterior are so classy. Plenty of leg room for the kids in the back seat. I couldn't be happier with this car.

My favorite car ever!

I just bought my 2nd CX-5. They took a perfect SUV and made it even better! More safety features, with the same amazing body style, dependability, luxury features without the luxury price. I love this car.

Great car!

I'm leasing this vehicle and I'm very pleased with its performance. It's comfortable, quick, and great on fuel. I took it on a trip to N.J and I'm glad it had blind spot monitoring. I was getting passed on both sides, will I was driving a comfortable 70 mph. I highly recommend this vehicle, and I'm glad my wife picked it out. It's eternal blue mica, Touring edition w/ navigation. I'm considering leasing another Mazda as well.

Traded in my 2015 RAV4 and so happy.

After doing research and driving my wife's CX3 I decided to trade in my noisy rattling 2015 RAV4. We bought the 2018 CX5 Grand Touring trim and love it after only one week of driving. This car is like driving a true luxury car costing thousands more with all of the features that comes on this top of the line trim. Heads Up display, back seats and steering wheel heated you cant find on Honda or Toyota in this segment. It is so quiet on the highway you have to check to make sure the engine is even running. Why would anyone buy a RAV4, CRV or Escape without test driving the Mazda CX5? There is so much tech in this car that the competition cant match.
