Hi! First time car owner here and I have been wanting the CX-5 as my first car ever for a year. We went for a test drive of both 2023 CX-30 and 2024 CX-5 last week and both my parents and I preferred the 2024 Cx-5 on looks and drive quality. We weren’t planning on getting the car yet but they gave us a great deal and this dealership had the lowest MSRP out of all of the Mazda dealerships in my state (bad thing: we didn’t go to another dealership for negotiating power). We got a much lower price than the MSRP on the website and ended up reserving it for when it comes in from transit.

I wanted to go on here and ask if anyone who has a CX-5 Preferred or any CX-5, what do you like about the car, what do you not like? Also, what accessories would you say work well with this car?

Some notable features of the 2024 Preferred: -Powered Moonroof -Heated Leather Seats -8 way powered and programmable driver seats -Rear Power liftgate

Although I reserved it, they couldn’t technically sell me the car since it is in transit but once it comes, they will give me a call to do the car buying shebang! I also wanted to negotiate for getting the all weather mats included with the OTD price but was unable to :( BTW, got a 4.9% APR for 48 or 60 months OR 3.9% APR for 36 months which was much lower than my parent’s banks/credit union and my bank.
