| There's enough room for four adults inside the Mazda CX-5. But the Honda CR-V and some others are considerably roomier. Want an occasional third-row seat? While Nissan and Volkswagen offer one in their compact crossovers, Mazda does not. see full Mazda CX-5 review | ||

Soon after I bought the Mazda, I did an 8 hour trip in it. I found the seat comfort to be most satisfactory. I had no trouble finding a comfortable driving position using the power seat, and, the lumbar support. see full Mazda CX-5 review |

| 2016 Mazda CX-5 Powertrain: Cons | ||
| Year | Comment | |
| Why not buy the new Mazda CX-5? There aren't many good reasons. The most obvious: if you want effortless or adrenaline-inducing acceleration in your compact crossover, Mazda doesn't offer it. While Chevrolet, Ford, and Kia offer turbocharged 2.0-liter engines with from 235 to 252 horsepower, Mazda does not. The only engine offered is a non-turbocharged 2.5-liter good for 187 horspower. Mazda should strongly consider offering the 250-horsepower (on premium, 227 otherwise) turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine introduced in the three-row CX-9 and soon to be available in the Mazda6 sedan in the CX-5 as well. With its 187-horsepower engine, the CX-5 can accelerate as quickly as most people will ever need it to, with a zero-to-sixty time in the low eights. But the engine never feels strong and its mild buzziness can seem out of place in an otherwise highly refined vehicle. Thrill-seekers will not find what they are seeking. The new CR-V can get to 60 mph about a half-second sooner, but its 190-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine is much harder on the ears than the Mazda's in the process. That this engine is hitched to a CVT programmed to hold engine speed fairly steady (near the point of maximum power and maximum din) even as vehicle speed increases has objective advantages but subjective disadvantages. The Equinox is significantly slower than the other two with its 170-horsepower turbocharged 1.5-liter engine, but significantly quicker than they are with its 252-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter engine. The Tiguan disappoints most in this area. Its 184-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter surges and lulls at part throttle when cold, isn't at all enjoyable to rev, and sounds downright agricultural. It seems to share nothing with the much stronger, much more refined turbocharged 2.0-liter engine employed in many other Volkswagens and Audis. The CX-5's manually shiftable six-speed automatic transmission makes the most of what its engine can provide, without the adverse effects of VW's CVT. This transmission tends to shift smoothly and promptly into whatever ratio the situation calls for. Its only shortcoming: sometimes during or after spirited driving it will hold a lower gear longer than it really needs to. A "power" mode makes the transmission even more aggressive at the expense of holding low gears even longer. Want a manual transmission? Well, with the redesign the CX-5 joins its direct competitors in not offering one. see full Mazda CX-5 review | ||

The powertrain in the CX-5 offers very crisp performance, and, excellent fuel economy as well. I've put 1000 miles on the car so far and its perfomance reminds me of the 2.5 liter Jaguar X-Type I used to own. The Mazda engine has very good mid-range torque, and, the 6 speed automatic works well with it. This vehicle doesn't have to downshift to climb hills on the interstate near as much as the Honda CRV it replaced did. see full Mazda CX-5 review |
