Loved the way this car handled from my first test drive. Stylish but not that different from the competitors that I tried until I put the pedal to the medal. Great acceleration and so sure-footed in bad weather. Love my CX5!

Mazda is moving on up

I traded a Mercedes GLC300 for the 2019 CX-5 and, honestly, this feels like an upgrade, although the Mazda is priced almost $20K below the Benz. The interior is better, sound system just as good, and technology is superior. Also much more entertaining to drive (I have the GTR, which has the turbo engine, although I drove the GT and it was pretty well powered). Thrilled with the Mazda and really happy with the upscale direction they are taking with he product.

The "smoothest" car I've ever had.

This car has everything I needed: Great styling, quiet ride, all the latest safety tech stuff, plus auto-highbeams (really cool), rain-sensitive wipers. The only negative was the Navigation. It seemed like old school technology. The car is equipped with Apple Car Play, and if I could re-do, I would use Waze or Google Maps on the Car play, and not buy the navigation. Also, the app screen on top of the dashboard is slightly distracting. It looks a retracting screen, that doesn't retract. These are the only negatives. Overall, the car is gorgeous. We bought Soul Red.

New Car with a High Reliability Rating

I haven't had this vehicle for long but so far I think it's great!!! The exterior & interior styling are very well appointed. Lots of extras that make driving a pleasure and it's fun to drive. It readily responds when you put your foot on the gas. No delay which for me was very important.

So fun to drive

So glad I decided to go with this car after comparing and considering similar cross over vehicles. The Mazda CX-5 Touring has some amazing safety features and it is so fun to drive. It also feels like a real luxury vehicle without the huge price tag. If you are thinking of switching from a sedan to a cross over this is definitely a good choice and you will not be disappointed.

$$$ over a similar Rav 4. Better value.

Excellent all round small SUV. I picked this suv over a 2019 Rav 4. The CX-5 is better overall value than the Toyota. I tested both.

Great retirement car

This car was the perfect size for us, looked great and performed well. Personalizing the navigation, sound system and safety features was fairly easy. Excited to have so many safety features!

New Signature Series a outstanding value

Way upscale from past Mazdas. Equals some very high end SUV`s, In almost all ways Interior and finish are way beyond all in class. Quiet and very relaxed in corning and handling.

Super comfortable and quite ride

I love the look of the CX-5 and all of the features it has. But the best part is it has an amazingly smooth and quiet ride. Much better than my previous SUV.
