  ZoomZoom... - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By zoomzoom09 - December 28 - 8:23 am

  Its been less than a week, since I bought a 2013 CX-5 Touring Edition (FWD)w/auto/ Moonroof. Plus points: Very sports, high quality interior. great milage. I am getting 29 mpg avr driving almost 45 miles a day in medium to heavy traffic. The BSM system is great. Secondly, the handling is very good for a SUV. It handles like sports coupe, and the engine being a 4 cyl is quite adequent. If I wanted a v6, I would have gotten a Lexus RX, but for the value you get in a CX-5 and fact you DONT need premium fuel, thats a HUGE win.. Bose 9 speaker is awesome. The front profile is very nice, and plenty of room for 5/6 adults.. Bluetooth / ipod integration/rearcamera/ makes it very modern.

  Great Crossover - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By lpmiller - December 24 - 6:40 pm

  We just picked up the skyblue CX-5 i Touring with the Bose/moonroof package and I must say, its an impressive car. Very roomy, drives very well for a crossover (not mushy around the corners) and while it could have more ooomph, its fast enough for most day to day driving. Very comfortable and roomy, in fact the first thing we did with it was buy a new dresser from Ikea. Car is too new to speak towards MPG yet, but the wife is happy, so Im happy.

  Great SUV with Excellent MPG & Looks - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By verysmartcar - November 21 - 12:14 pm

  Just brought this CX-5 and love it. Right away driving 4 miles to work and 4 miles home getting 25 MPG in the city driving. You cant go wrong with this Mazda. Owned 9 Mazdas is a row and never had any problems with them. Best looking SUV for the Money. Very smooth ride and excellent visability. I have the Touring model that has the 17" Wheels that I think has a little better ride than the Grand Touring with the 19" Just my opinion. Mazda has the looks and reliability. Honda CRV Boring, RAV4 Ugly, Kia Sportage has the looks but not sure on reliability. Just go and look at the Mazda and you will be impressed.

  Love it! - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By superscaler - June 22 - 5:51 pm

  After being opened minded while shopping around at all the different makes once I saw the CX5 I knew right away this was the car for me. The Rouge didnt have enough front passenger leg room, the Honda CRV didnt come close to matching the interior design and I wouldnt even consider the Rav4.

  Exemplary vehicle - Mazda sets the standard again. - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By govind_nair - June 1 - 7:07 am

  Its hard to come by a crossover SUV which gives exceptional mileage combined with excellent sports-car like driving dynamics and styling all at a competitively great price. Its just a practical and fun to drive car with a brand new Skyactiv engine & 6-speed transmission along with impressive interior space & wheelbase. The tactile steering feedback is excellent. I really like the blind spot monitoring feature. The interior is simple and elegant with high quality materials. The GT Technology package is not necessary in my opinion. Even though it only has 155HP power, you can feel what the Mazda engineers have tried to achieve in this vehicle with the SkyActive engine and suite of technologies

  Just bought - Love it!! - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By sweetride4 - April 4 - 3:12 pm

  Bought for family of four. Shopped a lot! Once we decided we were okay with less seating capacity and overall size v. the Ford Explorer, Traverse, etc., the search continued for similar SUV feel on smaller scale, including lower price. Looked at Edge, really liked drive, but had to go with used and not so great gas mileage. So, on to the Equinox and Escape.. the Chevy just felt cramped.. even though good looking it just wasnt doing it for me on interior. The advertised prices led us to CX-5 v Escape.. The CX5 just felt right on interior roomy space, comfort and ease/simplicity of dash.Yet had enuf cool features to feel modern and plush. Awesome gas mileage too!! That alone should sell!

  3,000 miles and counting.... - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By dwbinnwa - March 2 - 6:21 pm

  As a 6 foot 4 inch man, I was worried about this vehicle. However a test drive proved I had nothing to fear. I can easily get in and out with plenty of room once nestled in the soft leather seat. The styling is impressive, with an aggressive looking nose and a well done interior. The sun roof, reverse camera, Bose sound system, and easy to collapse rear seats are also positives. This SUV isnt going to throw you back in your seat when accelerating, but it is quick enough for my purposes and havent found myself wanting more.

  Gas Mileage not as high as advertised - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By schuylkillsa - February 24 - 2:55 pm

  My highway gas mileage is supposed to be close to 35 MPG. I have over 5000 miles on the car and have taken several long road trips and Ive yet to hit 31 MPG. Are others finding the same thing?

  Some problems Ive had so far - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By lj9 - February 17 - 2:59 am

  I have a fully loaded 2013 model. KMs not as promised, I do have all wheel drive and dont live on flatlands though. I have had to change so far: GPS - old one turned off for no reason and was always searching for a signal, changed driver mirror, vibrated over 100 km, back up camera, went blank after one week. Current problem - anti lock brakes kicks in at low speed on dry road. Mazda dealer cannot find problem, would no show up on test drive with mechanic. Mirror sensor flashes on left turns, passenger side sensor does not detect sudden lane change from other cars. A/C takes forever to cool car.

  Update to driver from Salt Lake City - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By utahdriver - January 12 - 11:22 am

  After 2,600 miles everything is going great. The performance is better after the 2,000 mile mark. No problems to date. The last three gas fill-ups used 33 gallons with 921 miles driven, 27.9 miles per gallon in mixed city/highway. This car is very tight and drives like a dream on the highway. I really like the blind spot monitor system and the center rear seat fold down is handy for long items. For you owners with the auto I found that by shifting to Neutral and pressing the engine off button the radio/blue tooth says on, and engine is off. Then shift into park and finish the phone call or radio until you exit. Just push the engine run button twice to completely turn off the car.
