I have reviewed Kia’s, Ford’s, Mitsubishi’s and now I can add Mazda’s to my list. Back in June we reviewed the 2014 Mazda3 S Grand Touring 5 door which we really liked and this time we reviewed the 2015 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD which was a really nice vehicle.
This is only my second time driving a Mazda and I must admit I really liked how they felt, drove and handled. If I was in the market for a new vehicle I would be buying either a Mazda3 or Mazda CX-5 for sure. But since I am not in the market let me just dream and tell you what I thought about the Mazda CX-5.
The Mazda CX-5 wais loaded and I mean loaded with awesome features like push button engine start (which I love), dual zone auto climate control (which rocks since Melinda is always cold and I am always sweating), bluetooth hands free phone/audio, Skyactive technology, sweet audio system plus a ton of other stuff.
Every vehicle we have reviewed including the Mazda CX-5 has had Sirius satellite radio which never gets old because I love all of the different types of music offered as well as Howard Stern. I also loved the touch screen display with navigation and back up camera so I could see what was behind me.
We are a family of 5 so having plenty of leg and cargo room is essential and the Mazda CX-5 didn’t disappoint. Shaun (11 yrs old) and I are pretty tall dudes (me – 6’3 and Shaun – 5’6) and we fit in the Mazda just fine so that means if we are able to fit and be comfortable anyone can fit and be comfortable. I also loved the leather interior and the front heated seats. It’s summer and hot here in Delaware so I didn’t test the heated seats but after the winter we just had I would have killed for heated front seats, LOL.
The Mazda CX-5 had so many features that I didn’t get to test every single one but I did test as many as I could. I feel it takes months to discover everything that a new vehicle has to offer but like I mentioned I really liked every feature that I was able to test.
Overall the Mazda CX-5 was an awesome vehicle that didn’t disappoint and I would give it 5 stars. It met all of our families needs and wants and didn’t lack in comfort what so ever.
