2016 Mazda CX-5 Reviews and Ratings

Can feel all the bumps

Not a bad thing about this vehicle at all.

Excellent overall performance....a great car.

I love this vehicle! The setup of the infotainment system is very convenient and safe, as the touchscreen is enabled while driving. There is a joystick type of control on the console by the gearshift. The seats are very comfortable. Lots of room in the back, more so when the seats are down. Great surround sound thank to the 9 Bose speakers.

This is my first SUV but have previously owned Mazda. CX-5 perfect size for me in town and traveling. Handles well reliable, economical. Adequate acceleration for engine size

I bought this CX-5 Grand Touring last January 2017...if you live in a bigger city and need to keep up with traffic...this vehicle is not it. A 4-Cyl engine that this vehicle has, isn''t enough power to make those quick turns in and out of traffic when needed...this car is better designed for traveling long distances, at a leisure pace. As for gas mileage...it''s OK on the Hwy at 22-25mpg, city mileage 19-21mpg. Note: The glove container (arm rest) between the bucket seats...plastic latch will break off, be careful opening and closing it. Mine did, but Mazda replaced it free.

best built quality dependable vehicles for the money period

I''ve had my car for two years and have 22k miles on it. I''ve driven it cross country once (2k miles in three days), and several long-distance trips Between 500 and 1k miles). I''m 5''9" and 270 pounds.
I traded in a Honda CRV because the ride set my teeth on edge, this is very smooth. The ''sport mode'' is great for mountain driving both up and down. The display controls on the console are easy to use and help keep my eye on the road. Voice commands are almost useless. The GPS is accurate but remains outdated after updates.
No repairs yet. I get 30mpg highway and 23 city.

Braking on snow not so easy, Interior nice and roomy, but the front sitting is too hard, and it does not heat as fast the CX5 2017, The ride quality not as fast when taking off.

super reliable and fun to drive. spacious and god gas milage. nice interior and also sharp exterior. Love the trunk space.

The center console is not functional at all. The 60/40 lowering of back seats does not provide extra room and the 2 USB ports are slow in charging. Should have keep my 2004 mazda 6. Better comfort and more features. Selling this vehicle soon.

We have had our car 6 months, love it. We have never regretted picking this one above all the others in this size & price range. My only complaint is the hood has gotten several little "pings" in the paint from normal driving. This is not from driving behind gravel trucks or anything like that. The first was within 2 weeks of purchase & several more since then. Seems like the clear coat isn''t thick enough. I''ve driven many cars for more years than I care to count, I''ve never seen this before.

I am in LOVE with my Mazda CX-5. I feel in love with the way she drove- she has great get up and go, hugs the curves and is super fun to drive, especially in Sport Mode. I travel around a lot, with a car full of passengers and everyone comments on how smooth the drive is and how spacious the back seat area is. I love how much storage I have and how everything is so user friendly but still up to date with the latest and greatest technology. Sleek looking with sporty wheels make it uni-sex, and I can go from being the girlfriend with a car load of friends to a soccer mom the next day. I recommend this vehicle to everyone I know. I feel like I'm driving a sportscar but in an SUV - which means I can do anything and go anywhere. The gas mileage is average for an SUV.

I really enjoy how smooth the CX-5 drives for a small SUV. I like that there's a little switch to switch to Sport mode when I want the added boost. The navigation and media system is pretty comfortable to use. The safety features are what I like most about it, and I like the blind-spot monitors and the rear-view monitor for when I'm in reverse. The smartkey is really convenient too. I also like the sleek feeling the exterior has, especially for an SUV.

Mazda CX5 has great handling, quite ride and comfortable interior. All around was the top rated SUV of 2016 in Car and Driver, which interested me in taking this car for a test drive. Once I drove it, I was hooked. The car has great acceleration. No interior noise.. was also a big plus. Adjustable driver seat with heating was the deciding factor in my decision. All around superb SUV.

"If you need a small SUV and still want something that handles like a car but gets good mileage, the Mazda CX5 is the best vehicle. Drove several and this handled the best. Interior nicer than most. Good reliability. Sporty exterior."

The Mazda CX-5 is a must vehicle for anyone who wants a fun SUV that is comfortable and reliable. Interior fit and fitness make it nice.

Price and quality excellent. Interior and exterior superior. Interested in purchasing a larger SUV in the line

"Comfortable, great acceleration. Gas consumption disappointing, no rear latch release, AC fan could be stonger"

"Tired of the issues with my previous vehicle (Subaru), I traded it in for the Mazda CX-5.I had a Mazda Tribute several years ago and I liked it very much. I like almost everything about the CX-5 except the armrest (too short) and all of the ""chrome look"" on the interior because it catches the sun and is terribly blinding when driving. Other than those two things, I like the car very well."

Great fit and finish inside, sport mode and auto/manual makes it handle above its class and really fun to drive for a Mazda. Navigation could be more user friendly, bluetooth is great

Our Maxda CX-5 is FUN TO DRIVE. It also has top safety ratings and all the latest technology. We truly love it and would recommend to anyone looking at a midsize SUV.
