Excellent Vehicle

I never had, or even really knew, about Mazda before getting this vehicle but I have been in love since day 1. I have had my Mazda CX-5 for 3 years now, and no complaints here! Feels good, drives well, and I feel safe in it. I might not get anything else but Mazda from here on out!

I've owned several Honda's (Civic, CRV) no major issues, I maintained. I commute 100+ miles a day in all weather and when researching for a new all wheel drive vehicle the Mazda CX-5 kept coming up as the driver of the group, I've driven them all and hands down the Mazda wins. Mazda is a smaller auto manufacturer that can not absorb failures so they build drive-able vehicles. I recommend to everyone take a test drive, like I said I drive and I drive all weather conditions, plus Continental Tru Contacts are awesome tires (hydroplaning, light snow, wear...) for my Mazda CX-5 do the research.

Love this thing.

I'm very happy with this vehicle. It handles well, I'm getting better mileage than I expected, and it holds a lot (like 1000 lbs of concrete pavers or a twin mattress). It's the largest vehicle I've owned in a long time, but I still find it fun to drive. The moonroof and heated seats (a splurge for myself) are super fun. Despite the small rant about to follow, I am very happy with this automobile. I dislike the command center with the NAV and entertainment system in it. Seems way over-engineered, and like a well intended effort to keep drivers looking at the road made things much less user-friendly and, ironically, distracting. In particular, the waiver that appears when you power up and warns you not to get distracted, which cannot be dismissed earlier, is quite annoying and does NOT make me LESS distracted.

Love our Mazda CX-5 GT

Great right size SUV three years and LOVE her. Great ride, handling and acceleration with enough space to take daughter to college in (+2 adults). Gas mileage is good and to us the reliability and quality of Mazda products is without question. This was our 7th Mazda and we Also have a newer Mazda 6. Our son learned to drive with our 1989 Mazda 626 LX and is currently driving our former 2005 6s Hatchback

Best car by far:

I spent many days test driving different makes of cars and hours of research online looking for a hatchback. The Mazda cx-5 was the best overall choice. From style to performance this car is in my opinion the best car manufactured in this price range.

Love this SUV

I have had 6 cars over the years and this is one of my very favorites. Being older, an SUV scared me. I was afraid of a bigger model. I thought I would only like a little car. I bought it slightly used. It is wonderful!!!! I am short. I can see the whole highway. It is lovely not to have to stain to see. It is so comfortable. The most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. I would recommend the Mazda CX-5 in a heartbeat.

2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring

I was initially looking for a new 2016 Honda CRV and read reviews of the 2016 Mazda CX-5 to be more favorable. After test driving both vehicles as well as comparing like features found that I was getting much more car especially regarding safety features as well as has mileage and performance when compared to the same model year vehicle.

The 2016 Mazda CX-5

This is an overall great vehicle. After 130,000 miles it still only needs oil changes and tire rotations. Very minimal maintenance required and the paint and interior still look great. The engine has plenty of get up and go, power merging onto highways is no problem. All this and I get more than 29 miles per gallon driving in the city.

Great !

Great car. Comfortable seats . Gas mileage is what is expected with this size SUV. If and when I need to replace this vehicle. I will return to Mazda . Due to family changes I would be interested in. Mazda 3.

Most reliable vehicle I have ever owned

I had my first major repair done to my brakes. This is after having this car for 8 years. I am impressed with the quality and reliability of this vehicle.

2016 CX 5

My Mazda has been one of the best cars for reliability I have ever owned. 115,000 miles and had my first major repair needing new rear shocks. Other than routine maintenance this car has not had any major problems.

Luv it but...

Luv my CX-5 Except when I upgraded to an IPhone 6s my texting no longer worked in the car!!! Supposedly Mazda needs to do an update and the service advisor blamed it on Apple. I don't really care who's fault it is but I'm sooo mad!! That was a huge selling point and that feature no longer works!!!! I would have maybe purchased a different vehicle that actually has that technology!!! Mazda needs to keep up with technology!!!!

Good vehicle but not the most pet/kid friendly interior

I have a 2016 Mazda CX5 GT. It's a nice looking, well equipped vehicle, with good gas mileage for an AWD small SUV (I average 25.5 combined) and hasn't given me any mechanical issues in 14k miles. 14k miles may sound like Oh of course you wouldn't have mechanical issues... Drive the newer Ford Focus and you'll have transmission troubles way sooner than 14k miles ;-) My only complaint with this vehicle is the interior is NOT pet or kid friendly. The dash is some sort of soft material that collect dust and hair like crazy and it's not easy to wipe off like your typical plastic dash; it looks nice don't get me wrong. The leather seats has little pin holes (by design) look cool but you'll soon realize every crumb from every crunchy item anyone dares to eat in your new car will clog up those holes and even taking a little pin to try to push it through doesn't always dislodge the crumb; vacuuming with a shop vac won't even dislodge the crumbs! Finally, the center console lid is covered with a really soft leather or fake leather (not sure which) but it tears really easy. I've had several new cars over the years all the way from a Ford to a BMW and the interior of this car just doesn't hold up as well to the daily wear and tear from family & pets. If you have pristine kids, don't eat in your car, and hairless/nailess pets, this car is great!
