  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

  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.

  One Year Later - 2013 Mazda CX-5
  By mary668 - May 21 - 9:40 am

  One year later, no major problems. Runs well, still comfortable, decent sound system (I dont expect a studio experience), no new noises, rear door still occasionally resists latching once, closes the second time. My primary concern is getting on the interstate via a short ramp and 70mph plus speeds whizzing by, this car can be dangerous trying to get up to speed fast. It hesitates too long or is unpredictable in its response. Hope future CX-5 engineers fix this danger.
