Overall, enjoy my Mazda CX Premium. Pros: Great Handling and solid stance, prefer the lower to the ground/wagon feel, priority on driving vs tech. Google maps and streaming and I am happy Cons: Short driver seat lacks support. Fabric seats in premium have developed a few snags, Infotainment bugs (I like the knob): can add same station to favorites multiple times, statelite always starts at beginning versus current station, and screen dimming auto dim required reading online forums to see the dashboard buttons override the infotainment vehicle setting. Lastly the IP plastic/crystal had to have replaced due to scratch and replaced one still seems low quality. 24 MY upgraded the suspension to make softer and the steering is not as heavy.

For an ATV it did not support a trailor hitch easily. Major issue having one installed. Manufacturer tires wore out at 35k miles. Got those replaced and a week later my battery went dead for no reason. Vehicle is only 1 and a half years old. Then the day the battery went dead got the vehicle jumped and attempted to drive the vehicle and it went haywire with the steering column locking up at any turn while being driven which was exceptionally dangerous and now is having to be towed in to mazda for service. Looking for recalls which they do have on this vehicle. I am not going to promote a new model like this out of reliability and safety concerns.

I had a 2023 CX-50, and it had rear differential issues causing clicking noises, fixed once but recurring. The vehicle was rough on the road, even with standard 17 inch wheels. The steering was average and not as responsive. It was a task driving on the highway, a lot of over compensating to maintain some sense of a solid ride. There were some interior issues also, could not see the A/C indicator, and there was no external mirror knob, it was distracting to adjust. More blind spots on the inside because of the framing and air bag support. The seats were un-comfortable. After 6 months of this crossover vehicle, I traded it, very un-happy with it, which is a surprise, because I had Mazda's in the past which were more reliable.
