Only Test Drove but it is amazing!

Car is clean looking on the inside and has it's perks (navigation system, backup camera, etc). If you are tall it is a great SUV! Good leg and head room.

Mazda CX-9 Touring

What a great car! I did my research on this vehicle prior to purchasing and I must say it paid off! This vehicle has been a true pleasure to drive. It is powerful and is a great single/family car to have. I have had no mechanical issues with the car whatsoever. I hope my next vehicle is as great as this one!

Great All-Around Vehicle for MN

The CX-5 Grand Touring AWD is a solid vehicle. It handles well in the snow and is fun to drive in the summer. I do wish they offered a turbo-4 or a 6-cyl version, but the 4-cyl gets the job done.

I love my used CX5!!

I bought my 2014 Mazda CX5 used with 42,000 miles. I've now had this car for 6 months and so far I just love it! My car is the 6 speed manual FWD. I'm a 38 yr old female with 3 dogs so I needed a reliable car with room for my animals. As with any car there are pros and cons..here are some I've noticed. PROS: 1. So comfortable! There is surprisingly a lot of cabin room. I'm 5'6 and I easily think someone over 6 feet would have plenty of leg and head room. The seats are very comfy for me, i fully anticipate lots of long drives in my future. Also plenty of space in the cargo are, especially once the seats are folded down. 2. Gas mileage. When I first got the car (late summer) I was averaging 33 mpg. Now with winter months and heaters full time I am down to 29. Still a great number in my book. 3. Driving. The manual in this car is just fun. The gears are super close together though so at first I did do some downshift from 5th to 2nd or shifting up from 2nd to 5th. Only a few times though until I got the hang of it lol. It does handle very well and I don't feel like I'm driving a ... well,a loose car..if that makes sense. 4. Interior/Exterior. Again, lots of room in cabin. I did not get the touch screen but the basic center console I really like. Kinda classy/updated without being over the top flashy. I love the exterior look of the car too. CONS 1. Sounds. So I will admit I wish the stereo/speakers were better. The cabin noise is a little louder then I am use to in previous cars and it seems like you have to really turn the sound up to drown it out. Now honestly after 6 months I am use to the noise and it doesn't bother me at all...But when I first got it..almost drove me nuts. 2. Winter driving. So all and all this car has done just ok this winter. I drive slower of course and the car did handle well when we had snow, ice and slushy roads. But I have a small hill by my house that this car could not handle. TCS didn't help much either. I just slid all over and then stopped half up the hill. Next year I am getting dedicated snow tires so hopefully that will take care of this issue. So overall I highly recommend this vehicle. I've had no maintenance issues with it at all so far. Runs smooth and comfortable. The few cons are more minor issues to me.

2014 Mazda CX-5 Manual Transmission

I was so excited to find a small SUV with a manual transmission, I went out of my way to purchase this vehicle asap. It was a great car at first. Then I had issues getting the car to go into gear when I needed it, like in traffic. I took it into Mazda three three times and they wouldn't repair anything because they were unable to duplicate the problem. I took it in a fourth time and they replaced what they thought was wrong, but it seemed to get worse after that. When I took it in again they kept telling me it was an operator error even though I have been driving a stick shift for 20+ years and have another one at home that drives just fine. The car is comfortable and would be a great value if it did't have any issues, but I would not say reliable at all. I am worried it will not last past the warranty. I would be weary about purchasing a manual transmission.

Mazda CX-5 2014

So I've had my Mazda for 4 years and I like it. My only problem is, if you don't put it on park correctly it won't shut off. 2. If you are like me and like to warm up your car in the mornings and going to work make sure to leave your keys in your pocket if you drive off with out your keys it will go as far as you want without the key as long as you don't turn it off.3. It's just like a car just a bit bigger I like it other than those two things about starting and turning it off.

Mazda City of Orange Park

I purchased a Mazda CX-5 from Mazda City of Orange Park with the help of Joel Montijo. He was extremely conscious of how much I wanted to spend, very honest and he answered all of my questions. Joel made me feel very comfortable during the entire process. I did not feel pressured or stressed working with him. I would highly recommend working with Joel Montijo if you are in the market to purchase a new or used vehicle. Thank you Joel for your AWESOME customer service!!
