The value and quality is amazing!

This car exceeds all of my expectations. The quality of the ride and the quality of the materials used on the inside is very luxurious. The car has so many safety features and options, that typically would only be found on more expensive cars. I was unsure of Mazda at first. I use to think they were nothing but cheap cars that wished they were as good as the other brands but after test driving this car, seeing the sheer quality of the materials and the incredible ride, has changed my opinion. The car is absolutely gorgeous, especially in the red, and the features and value for the price can not be beat. I highly recommend Mazda. Its not what I thought they were, its better.

Best car for the money

Amazing car for the price. My only complaint is that it's under powered for the size. City mpg lower than manufacturer claims. Interior far ahead of it's competitors.

Great Car

Iwe’ve owner 7 different Mazda’s over the past 40 years. The brand has been excellent in the past for reliability. Many miles with very good results. I’ve never had one nickel and dime me. We choose the CX5 based on past use of other models of Mazadas. I particularly went with this CX5 because of all the positive reviews I read. Customer reviews are much more reliable than professional reviews because they only test cars for a maximum of one year. I purchased the GT model and purchased the extra package that gave the heated rear seats, adaptive headlights and a few other things. This placed the car into the exceptional category along with the much more expensive car brands. I did not go with the turbocharged engine for a couple of reasons. First the regular engine has plenty of pep and speed. Secondly I don’t have to worry about an expensive part breaking down. Thirdly I get better MPG. Fit and finish are great. I purchased the Vehicle in the pearl white. A very classy look in my opinion. This car has more bells and whistles than I’ve ever had before and I’ve owned BMW’s and MB’s in the past and that includes them as well. I’ve only put about 600 miles on it so far. I expect this will be like my Miada’s and Mazda 3’s that we’ve owned. My wife and I really enjoy this latest CX5

The best experience I have had in leasing

I am so happy with my Grand Touring Mazda with automatic fold in mirrors for the inside of the Suv and the Automatic back gate. Super comfortable and drives extremely well. I appreciate the manager and my sales person who are very honest and reliable. Micheal O'Brien my sales person set up everything in the Suv and showed me how to work all the features in the Suv. They really go out of their way to help you.

Learning about all the wonderful safety features

It sold itself when I drove it. Love the color red and the parchment and black interior. Haas plenty of zip. Enjoy the folding mirrors

My second CX5

After driving a brand new cX5 as a loaner car when my 2015 CX5 was in for a oil change I completely fell in love with the new design of the CX5. After about 1 week of searching for a new one and negotiating I drove off in my new 2019 CX5
