It is a great SUV to have plenty of space great to drive all the feature you want in this car. Great on a long road trip with room to spare.

I love this car!!

I have been a Mazda owner for many years, from the 626 to the Miata (two), to the Tribute and now my beautiful new CX-5. Didn't even think I wanted a SUV, but this one suits me perfectly! The ride is wonderful, handling is a dream and the style is so classy. The Soul Red color is such a pretty shade of red. To say I'm in love with my new CX-5 is an understatement!!!

good mileage but poor performance

2018 Mazda XC5 is a good looking auto with good gas mileage. However, with its 4 cylinders and 6 speed transmission it poor on performance. Very jerky during shifting which seems to be all the time. Interior road noise is high. Entertainment/Navigation/Communications systems are poorly designed from a reliability and user experience. e.g. your smart phone is infinitely more user friendly and reliable. Claims to be able to connect up t 4 phones to its Comms Center however, customer service and dealer cant figure out why it doesn't work. I would not recommend towing anything with this vehicle

Best Value for Money Car

I previously owned the CX-3 and decided I wanted to upgrade to a bigger vehicle. The CX-5 is even better! Extremely quiet, great interior, very reliable, great city gas millage (23mpg) for a car that size. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone looking for an SUV!

Mazda's in general are great cars

We have only had it for 2 days and so far it is great, comfy and roomy. Hope it last as well as our previous Mazda

Nicest car I?ve ever owned. Great performance

This car is exactly what I wanted and is fancy but not too fancy. Perfect balance of fancy and reliable, much love for the 2018 Mazda CX-5

I love my CX-5

I wanted a vehicle that was solidly built, easy to get in and out of and had a reasonable amount of power, 4 doors and decent gas mileage. The CX-5 has all of these and is great value for the money.
