Beautiful car with no issues.

Honestly, I love this car. It’s visually appealing both inside and out and comfortably accommodates my family. If not for an upcoming move out of the country, I’d have kept it for years!

Beware

Just took my 2018 CX-5 in due to a clicking sound coming from the engine. They said there in an internal engine issue and they need to replace the whole engine. Thankfully the warranty will cover the cost, but this car only has 15,000 miles on it.

Great so Far

I have only had the 2018 Mazda CX 5 for a week and so far it is great. I purchased it with 1032 miles on it and I have no complaints. It handles great and I am still learning all the new features. My last car was a 2008 so I have a lot to learn. I am happy with my decision to purchase this car.

This SUV glides along the road

This car has exceeded my expectations. The interior is very attractive and comfortable- heated seats are life changing. Driving in New England, you get used to potholes and snow heaves everywhere on the road, but while driving my CX-5, they are hardly noticeable- it drives so nicely. I am also so happy to have a vehicle with a backup camera, USB phone charging and sirius XM. Would definitely recommend!
