I recently purchased a 2015 CX-5 Akera AWD and am loving it so far. It feels safe, sturdy and is very smooth and nice to drive. I thought it would feel too big since I'm used to sedans, but it really doesn't and I can still see a lot. It has loads of features I wasn't fussed about, but now driving it, I actually really like the parking sensors and camera, as well as the blind spot monitoring. I have an old narrow blue stone alleyway to enter through to my apartment carpark and it's acrobatic at the best of times to get in and out, so with a lar...Read more

We are just your average couple, we drive our Mazda nearly very day in and around our town and a couple of times a month longer drives to Melbourne and Geelong. We had a Mazda3 sports hatch and clocked up 117,000 and not a blip or problem so when it was time to move on and up grade it was a simple choice of another Mazda, though we did try out other makes we kept coming back to the Mazda. We had and issue with one of the headlights which was replaced by the service centre at no cost to us and the car had finished its warranty period. I love my ...Read more

I have just completed four years of ownership of my Mazda CX-5 (and still going) and completed nearly 60,000 km. It is the 2.5 l petrol engine GT. In that time, I have had no mechanical issues with the car - starts first time, every time. It is great in the city and on the highway. Paint and interior still look as new. Servicing costs have always been reasonable through the Mazda dealer.
The only issues in that time were:
1. The battery was just replaced after 4 years - the first indication was that the i-stop function stopped working. This is...Read more

Purchased Brand New CX-5 2016 Maxx Sport from Mount Gravatt Mazda - from day 1 vehicle generated a noise while reversing and turning left. Notified Mazda immediately by phone and told they will look at it in first service. First service, we could not fault. Second Service during road test, noise was duplicated - returned vehicle advised done all they could - drove out, went back to work reverse park and noise still present. Told Mazda and said to come back in, have done few services and still no resolve. Most recent service - I dealt with ...Read more

Usually giving good feedback is my forte. Unfortunately that’s not the case for my review today. Madza have no idea how to come to any resolution at all. After years of having my car come up with the the same errors. Leaving me unable to drive my car. I was directed to the head office of madza to resolve these problems. To begin with the staff were kind. Took weeks to get back to me, but were kind. After they asked me on countless occasions what I wanted as the best outcome they could not offer me. I graciously accepted this, as it was best cas...Read more

Purchased new and asked for advice on towbar to tow a camper. Told by salesman that a non genuine hitch could effect warranty if I have any issues. They advised and finally fitted a very discreet genuine Mazda tow hitch which cannot be seen from behind the vehicle. It cost me the several hundred dollars all up. Problem arises when i have to lie down on my back on the ground in order to see how to install the vertical connecting tube and fit and secure a 16mm pin in a hole. I then have to repeat this process when i hook up my camper to attach an...Read more

The Mazda CX-5 is the perfect mix of style and functionality. I upgraded from a Subaru RX after I had my second child, and haven’t looked back. The safety features give me piece of mind when I’m driving on long, country roads, in freeway traffic and parking in tight spots.
I’m not a tall person, and this was the only SUV I tried where I didn’t feel overwhelmed by the size. Despite the feeling of a smaller SUV, it is quite big inside, with plenty of room for the family. The boot is an excellent size, and something that’s often overlooked in sm...Read more

The cx5 is a great car. We compared it to the wagon Kia, Hyundai, honda and toyota makes and the design comfort and technology of the cx5 trumped them all.

Its a big suv wagon but feels like your driving a sedan. The reverse camera and rear design makes it easy to reverse.

Downside is that the rear seats aren't too comfortable and the middle seat is really for show. Theres not too much leg room and the basic cx5 does not have rear ac.

The seats do fold down and you can fit a washing machine and ikea furniture in the back.

I have two...Read more
