Some faults can be overlooked

It's not economical on gas. Yes it does get the highway miles but city is another story. It does have a hesitation at times. I'm not sure if it is me or the car. It does lack for storage, and there is no place to set anything when you have passengers in the front seat, such as a purse or a package etc. I do like the car and its safety features, the heads up and lane change signals awareness. I would buy this car again if the gas was upgraded.

This thing is a blast to drive

The ultimate sleeper. 250 turbocharged HP on tap and not even a tiny badge or icon on the outside. Super comfortable to drive, excellent handling, sexy as hell on the outside, what more could you ask for? OK...1 thing, a better rear view camera. I call this one 'potato cam'. It's really terrible.

The nicest car I have ever owned.

This car has everything you could need. It drives like a dream and the safety features are terrific. It is stylish and sleek. What more can you ask for?

Very Comfortable

I am approaching 50 years old and comfort is very important to me and the CX5 is a wonderful vehicle. I have leased over the last 15 years and its the first time i've gotten the exact same model two times in a row. Mazda will continue to get my vote for leased vehicles for the future.

Exciting to drive

Excellent vehicle for the price. The Signature Edition competes with the European brands for small or compact SUV. Exterior and interior are top notch. Gas mileage is descent.

The new updates are amazing!

I leased a 2016 CX-5 and I was ok with it, just missing some small details that made all difference to me, and now I’m really happy that I got them all in the 2019 model. The highlight of my day now is my work commute because of the awesome driving experience! Thanks Mazda!

After Much Research, Best Value for my Money

I spent about a month going to different dealerships and driving various brands. I tried out Honda, Hyundai, Toyota, Nissan and Mazda. Out of all the nicest drive, looks, interior finishes and overall value ($) was Mazda.

Great vehicle

I love this SUV. It’s got enough space for everything I need. Love the design and comfort. I got the touring with preferred package. It’s got all the safety features I need for peace of mind after a recent car accident.
