Value for money.

Great car. But service xdepartment always over priced for comparable service. That's why I take all my vehicles to Taylor's Garage in Milton. We got touring model so it had almost all the bells and whistles of our expensive BMW... plus the savings per year for using regular gas instead of premium... I don't know how anyone can afford cars that use premium... Next car we will stick with Mazda. . Maybe a CX-90 hybrid... or similar.

I love this car!

I leased this car in the Fall of 2018 for 3 years. At the end of my 3 years, I bought it because I really liked it, and never had any problems with it. After 5 years, I'm still very happy with my Mazda CX5.

Mazda CX-5 GT - Great Vehicle So Far

Purchased in Mar.2021 and have been very pleased with it. Reliable, drives nice (good handling for a SUV) and very well equipped. Took a little while to get used to the Heads Up Display, but now miss it when I'm in another vehicle. The Ruby Red color is amazing and gets compliments all the time. The only down side to the paint is that it seems to chip fairly easily, especially the hood (soft paint?). Definitely buy some touch up paint and consider getting 3M protection on the front. Seating is comfortable and good on long trips. Blind spot warning kicks in way to early in my opinion (3 car lengths and it still goes off when signaling after passing a vehicle/changing lanes. The warning beeps are annoying. I believe the sound can be turned off though. Not the most powerful car, and seems to struggle a bit in the lower RPMs till you get going. Adequate passing power. Overall, very good car. Hoping it lasts me a long time. And for those that like to do your own oil changes, it's very easy, with oil filter and oil drain plug very close to each other.

Still waiting Mazda CX-5 for Parts.

After being rear-ended in August, 2021, I am still waiting for repair parts as of April, 2022. I am waiting for a rear pumper cover/parts and a RF fender. My body shop and Mazda dealer tells me the parts are not available, and they do not know when they will become available. Also the app Chip for the navigation system has failed. Navigation repeatedly shuts down and then reboots randomly. Mazda recognizes this problem but refuses to replace it.

Comfortable and Reliable Car

We love this car, but the 2018 version is not turbo charged, which makes it a bit sluggish when acceleration is needed. I hear that this has now been addressed in newer models. This is a great car for a road trip - the ride is smooth and the cabin is quiet and comfortable. The car has been very reliable and we have never had an issue with it.

Love my CX5!

I leased my Mazda CX5 in September, 2018. At the end of my lease I decided to buy my SUV because I liked it that much! I was impressed with all the safety features, the smooth ride, and in 3 years, never had any complaints. If you're looking for a sharp looking and dependable SUV, look no further!

Great SUV & Stylish.

The car is great! Comfortable seats but for me I had to add a lumbar support for my back. My Equinox has electric power seat and it presses in to support my lower back (awesome). The CX5 has the base of the seat coming out, so it’s harder to get support. I would say that is an area for improvement. I don’t know if the electric power seats on the CX5 would help.

Love my Mazda.. had another one prior, same model. No problems at all with it. Only traded up for warranty purposes.

I really like my Mazda CX5. I had another, 2014, prior to this one, and enjoyed it so much I went with same make, model when I traded up. I had -0- problems with my 2014 and so far, no problems with my 2018. I only traded in because warranty had expired and the price on this 2018 was exceptionally good due to the pandemic in that time period.... early to mid 2020. The 2014 maintained Great trade-in value, as I expect will be the same on the 2018. Safety rating on both years was also exceptional.

2018 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring

I know we shouldn't "love" inanimate things but I "love" this car. I only have put 20,900 miles thus far, due to Covid and another reason. This was my first lease ever and I will either buy-out the lease or lease/purchase another.

My Favorite Car

I love everything about this vehicle. I rented the 2019 version of it in May 2019 and when it was time to purchase a new vehicle, I found everything I needed in my 2018!!! So satisfied with this vehicle, it's like getting into a new car every day.

Mazda CX-5 Touring base

I actually liked my 2017 base model Touring better. Not as many electronic driver "aids!". The lane departure system is annoying and the rain sensing wipers don't wipe when you want them to. I turned them all off. Otherwise, this is a good driving crossover. Plenty of room. Handles well, but a little underpowered.

Very comfortable and sleek

I love driving this car. It’s comfortable, very low road noise, handles well, and looks good. I wish the mileage was a tiny better being a 4 cylinder.
