2017 Mazda CX-5
Very good looking. Graceful, elegant lines that will age well and not look dated. HOWEVER, for all the Sky Active technology hype that Mazda puts out, I am unable to achieve the published mpg estimates, and I have never experienced this with any other car that I have owned . Very disappointing. With my former Avalon I achieved a better mpg then what Toyota published for that car. And the Avalon is a heavier car with a bigger engine. Go figure. The CX-5’s sway/lean when cornering is also disappointing. Not very flat. Mazda touts their zoom-zoom driving experience, but, in my opinion, they don’t quite deliver. Now, my review may be too hard on the poor little CX-5. I had not previously driven a SUV. And, after all, the Mazda, Toyota, Honda and Subaru SUVs are just a boxes on wheels.
