Everything I could want

This car is sleek and stylish on the inside and out. It has enough leg room for me and my guests as well as a nice size trunk for storage. And I can?t forget to mention it?s super smooth driving.

Zoom Zoom great car

My Cx-5 is a very fun car to drive. It is stylish, quick to respond, and has some great safety accessories as well. It has lane control, quick stop, and blind spot awareness. The more I drive it the more I like it. Good gas mileage, fun to drive, good value for money, what else do you need.....

Love our 2018 CX-5!!!!!

We have been looking, pricing and test driving a variety of SUVs for the past 2 years. Once the new 2018 Mazda came out, we knew that was the vehicle for us! We love driving both short and long distances in our CX-5.

Everything I was looking for in a new car!

This vehicle is perfect for all my uses - loads of cargo room, great gas mileage for trips or city driving plus it handles beautifully. I don't feel like I am driving a bigger vehicle than before except for being up higher now - it's very quiet & smooth. It has all the safety features & technology I wanted & it is such a pleasure to drive!! This is my third Mazda & definitely my favourite so far!

Best AWD for the money

Out of the 3 top AWD SUV?s we found in Consumer Reports, the CX-5 blew away the Nissan Rogue in handling alone and the Honda CV-R was great but out of our price range. Our son is a Honda salesman and with no money down for a lease it was still over budget. We are a week in of using it and we absolutely love the way it handles. Great safety alerts for blind spots. Not to slow either. My only request would be more space for personal items.

Nice car. Heads up display is especially nice

Great car. Feels like your in a jet fighter with all the instruments and heads up display on the windshield. Disappointed that the infoment system didn?t work with Apple phones. So reading and sending txts make it a little more challenging. But overall we our very happy with our purchase
