Love this vehicle! Test drive sold me!

Peppy, tight, quite ride. The only negative is storage. Glove box is filled by user manual. Center console is a joke. Other than that it's perfect for me. Can't wait to see how it handles New England winters.

Sexy SUV

This car is amazing! I love everything about the way it looks. The only thing I’ve noticed is it stutters a bit after being stopped at a stoplight

Great new car!

I love the style and roominess of the inside. It is a very smooth ride, comfortable and quiet. I love the sleek design as well as the options availability for the interior.

Handsome, great car

Traded in 2016 red CX-5 for 2019 model. Color even more gorgeous, some of the detailing gives it a sharper look. Pick up is better, handling is nice. Also really dependable, which was one of the main reasons I bought this model a few years ago.

Too new to provide reliable answer

Owned for one week but so far love it. Love the peppiness and virtual dashboard. The heating and cooling seats are also awesome and the safety features are a great bonus.

Great looking car

I love how comfortable this car is to drive and I love the color red that we chose. The back sit is a little tight when the front seats are all the way back. Front seat leg room is good

I love Mazda's product.

I had a Mazda 6 Grand Touring for 5 years and loved the product. I traded it for a CX-5 Grand Touring. I really like the comfort and I get better gas mileage than predicted. I average 32 MPG.

Luxury for Anyone!

Mazda has brought luxury to their vehicles without the luxury price tag! Even with the luxury, my favorite thing about this vehicle thus far, is the handling! I’ve never driven anything that handled this well!

Great good looking drive loaded with technology.

Got this new CX-5 to replace my 2102 CX-9 which I gave to my daughter. Decided to down size so chose the CX-5 which still gives me all the passenger seating I need and adequate cargo room. The combination of inline 4 cyl engine and 6 speed automatic transmission deliver all the power and response I need. The new technology in this car is amazing. The color back up camera is like a wide screen color TV. The grid superimposed on the camera view makes back up easy and the cross traffic warning is a great safety feature. Lane keeping and collision avoidance are also great safety features. Apple CarPlay lets me use my iPhone to listen to music and use Apple Maps as a navigation aid. Ride and handling are great and for highway driving I am getting better than 30 mpg. Can't comment on reliability as I have had the car less than a month but my old CX-9 was the most reliable car I ever owned so that's a good indicator.

Grand Touring Model

I LOVE this crossover! There are some things that it does that just make me smile. Heads up display is so nice. You can "customize" your dashboard display, push button start, power lift gate, power seats, power moon roof, heated seats and steering wheel, my iPhone connects to the display screen, lane assist, adaptive cruise control/ brake assist and my 2 favorite things: the side mirrors close inward when you walk away & ventilated seats (think air conditioning for your butt..... really wonderful ..... lol). Seats are comfortable, drives/handles well, everything at your fingertips. Now, I do wish it had more towing capacity and had I gotten the turbo it would have. My mileage around has been good, about 25mpg. I took a trip up to Mt. Hood and back and averaged 28.4. Needles to say I'm happy about that. The biggest plus is that my Black Lab loves it as well, lots of room for him!
