Mazda CX-5 Owner Reviews

Too complex. Passenger area is roomy with good legroom, although the centre console is wider than necessary without providing facilities as good as others. Boot size is good. No CD player. Easy to drive, but don't like i-stop or lane departure warning, which affects steering adversely. I turn both off. The electric steering feels a bit dead. The brake pedal needs more of a left-side extentsion for left-foot braking. The cruise control buttons are too small and the general system is confusing, unlike previous models. Fuel consumption on 91 octane is 10-11L/100km in town or country, which is worse than expected. Servicing yet to be tried. Insurance average, but has gone up, of course. No problems so far, but only low mileage to date. Time will tell, but Mazda reliability with earlier models has been very good in the past.
