Hi Mazda drivers,

After starting a new job and saving some money I am looking to purchase my very first car. After doing some research on Mazda models I really like the CX5 size, medium SUV. Please, if you drive CX5 or have some sort of knowledge of the CX5 range can you let me know your experience etc?

I’ve heard different opinions on different CX5 models. And I don’t know which one to choose.

Below is what I know to be what I think I want:

  1. No Turbo engine- I read a review that the turbo engine can tire out the engine after a while.
  2. Want a sunroof.
  3. No wireless charging. I prefer cord charging.
  4. Map satellite navigation.

As you can tell I am not knowledgeable with this. I’m afraid a car salesman is going to swindle me due to my lack of knowledge. Please comment your opinions regardless if you know much of CX5 or not.

    1. Not relevant. You’re not going to own the vehicle long enough for it to matter.

    2. I believe this requires Premium Plus or higher trim. The Mazda website will clarify.

    3. so what if it has wired charging? You’re not required to use it. Plug in a cable if that’s what you prefer.

    4. I believe that navigation is optional in all models. Purchase and install the SD card.
