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.

    I was a little disappointed with the amount of space within the car. Specifically the room between the front and back seats. It’s more on par with a regular sedan than a SUV or crossover. It might not be obvious to most or even matter but as a new dad it’s very noticeable because I can’t recline as much as I want with a car seat in the back. Again, this is common for sedans but for a crossover/SUV it’s pretty disappointing. It makes me realize I could’ve either saved money and got a sedan or went with a bigger model

    Also, the engine isn’t very strong. It’s only noticeable if you test drive other cars from different manufacturers.
