Love my new car!

I love my new car it’s absolutely wonderful! Even though my car was a used car they cleaned it up and made it like it was brand new! The warranty is still intact which makes it awesome! That includes all the service! I would recommend a Mazda for everybody! Zoom Zoom!!

Fun for couples not a heavy hauler

This is one of the funnest vehicles i have ever owned i own two a premium package gt in red and a silver base model. i Must have all of the available accessories to remain happy throughout my lease and my wife doesn't really care so your right i have the red one, if you are looking for every option and you get the gt premium you will never envy any other car in any class. comfort and handling is rated one of the best!and its solid real solid there is zero rattles and everything looks like they took there time to make sure all parts fit perfectly. gas milage is perfect unless your out to have some fun so sport mode it is vroom you are on the highway in a flash . but be careful you don't realize how fast you are actually going due to the aerodynamics and sound control.but dont exoect to pack this thing up for camping unless there is just two of you and you put the back seats down. im sure they sacrificed the storage for that all around luxury feel in all seating areas and that's why it is the perfect car for couples and bachelors and maybe a your siblings kids if short stays. it is very sporty looking and the design creates such an illusion that if you park side by side with a cx-9 they almost look the same size until your inside. and to be honest the cx-9 feels a little tighter on the left leg i seem to fit in the cx-5 more,weird huh?things you can live without heated steering wheel it works but only if you drive like a nerd 10 and 2 the rest of the wheel is not heated.heated seats oh yea you need it works great. ok now the fun part take those corners like a pro i loooooove it . no i mean no body role zoom zoom . gead room is great and here is the biggest kicker i am 6'3" 250 and fit in it for room to spare and cand still fit passengers in the back booya . ok so welcome to the most advanced machine you can get in a sub luxury car .

LOVE THIS CAR!

This is our second CX-5. Our daughter tested the airbags (which, they worked). Thankfully everyone is ok. The vehicle kept our daughter safe through a major accident. We were so happy with the first vehicle, that we went straight out and replaced it with another CX-5.

I can't find enough excuses to drive this car

This car is perfect! It has plenty of room and the seats are super comfortable. The carplay functionality for the display is awesome and the safety features are super helpful. Plus its a gorgeous car!

Best car I have owned.

This vehicle is comfortable even for long drives. It gets excellent gas mileage and performs as expected. Just returned from putting on 4000 miles over 2 weeks and got 30 mpg overall. This included mountain driving.

Smart and reliable

The style is elegant but drive like a truck! It is excellent in merging on and off freeway during heavy traffic, powerful yet easy to manipulate.

Combines the reliability and comfort I need

I am tall and have a bad back, which makes buying comfortable cars difficult. Mazda CX-5 is the one that fits and is lovely to look at. Oh, and the fact that it always works, has a roomy interior and lots of how do you say zoom zoom is a nice bonus.

3rd CX5 Great cars

This is our 3rd Mazda CX5 Grand Touring. Great value. Car handles great. Gas mileage is really good. No maintenance issues. I did a lot of research before buying our 1st CX5. Very glad we bought this car.
