2017 Mazda CX-5 User Reviews

Compared to the Honda CR-V and Toyota Rav 4, the Mazda CX-5 has much more leg room. Im 6 1/2 and while my left foot can fully extend in the Honda and Toyota, it was pretty much jammed between the footrest on the left and the brake on the right. The Nissan Rogue was the worse. The emergency brake extends right into a tall persons left shin. With the Mazda CX-5, not only can you extend your leg fully (with additional room to spare), you can also move it from side-to-side several inches on each side, which becomes crucial on lengthy trips.

I think this car is a safe vehicle. Good on fuel. Nice interior design. A bit low on power unless you get the turbo engine.

I found the overall car a good vehicle, however, I found that doing my research through consumer reports the 2018 is a better fit for what I am looking for in a suv. The 2017 is good, but the 2018 is even better. I am going with the 2018

Great car, good value. Love the details. Very smooth drive.

I test drove the 2015 or 2016 CX-5 Sport about two years ago and was not impressed. Wish I drove the 2017 CX-5 Touring back then! What a difference from the original model for the interior, the steering and handling! As most others believe, wish it was a little faster and there was a little more cargo space, but the benefits outweigh the pickup and cargo concerns! With the traffic volume in NJ there are not many opportunities to drive fast and I dont haul a lot of cargo. Just as sporty and luxurious as Acura RDX, Audi Q5 and BMW X3 for half the price! Hope this a keeper for 10 years!
