Overall, I love my Mazda CX-5. I previously owned a Mini Cooper S and then our family grew. I needed a larger vehicle with easier access to the back seat for a child. We searched through many cars. I finally settled on the Mazda. It has more than enough space in the back for adult passengers or children. It's got enough trunk space for all the cargo we may need for short trips or traveling for vacations. It runs well and gets great gas mileage. Which is great when you are on a budget with a family. I currently get an average of about 32 miles per gallon. It is fun to drive and very nice looking. My favorite color is blue so it was such a plus that this car was offered in the wonderful Sky Blue. It has a great hands free option and controls on the steering wheel. Keeps everything within reach so that I can easily access it all and keep everyone safe while driving. Handles great. The size is perfect. Larger than a car but not as big and bulky as an SUV. I wish it had cup holders in the back and vents in the back so that I can warm or cool my daughter more efficiently and quickly. I would prefer the tires be filled with air and not Nitrogen. And the pick up is less than satisfactory. It does not like to get up and go very quickly and I travel the interstate a lot, so I would prefer to get up to spend with the rest of the cars more quickly. Other than that, I love to rave about this car and love to drive it!
