Lol....now I want a bumper sticker that says Zoom Zoom mother f@$ka!!! Whenever I drive one of these when my car is at the dealer, I'm always impressed. I love Mazda because they never have that hypersensitive twitchy pedal or brake. Whenever I drive a rental from other companies I always feel the first few minutes like I'm gonna die, because you put your pinky toe down and the car pedal hits the floor. And I would wonder, if Dave did not notice a brake problem while off roaring and Melissa did...?!?... And I absolutely love the commander button, I'm not a fan of touch screen and fingerprints and distractions while driving at all. But also the voice recognition is much improved and a good way to use the system too. But I hope that do an upgrade within the year because it does need some tweaking. It is better than the Tom Tom but I do miss some cute features from the old infotainment. And yes I am extremely biased for Mazda ;) I really don't think there's a better looking or better handling class of vehicles at the price point out there.
I hate to say this but that front grill in the Mazda CX-5 is disgusting, yuk!! I compared it to the new Hyundai Tucson and there were so many reasons why I didn't end up getting the Mazda CX-5: - no power tailgate?? - small boot space?? - no rear air vents?? - underpowered?? - Takata airbag in Mazda is dangerous?? - no lain assist? Ect ect....sorry but the Mazda CX-5 is well behind, if you were to compare it to the Hyundai Tucson.
I really like the fact they lock out the controls for the touch screen. But what about a passenger using it? I would have made the sensor that turns on and off passenger air bag control the touch screen. That way if you have a passenger it is not lock out but if you are alone it does.
I love this new color. I really wish this car had more horsepower, I would suffer a loss in gas mileage if the CX5 was 250 HP. Zoom zoom indeed. I drive a Jeep now so bad gas mileage wouldn't phase me much
This thing would be looking nicer if it has a skid plate looking and cut back the front top by a few inches , no armrest for passenger? With electric hand breaks this beats everyone in the class, way better than someone else's foot version
Uglified front grille, uglified wheels, electric parking brake instead of the lever. The only good news is bigger infotainment screen, but touch does not work above 6 MPH. When I drove it the passenger seatbelt would not lock on emergency braking. The brakes themselves are good though. Judging by random issues, it seems that Mazda's quality control is not top notch.
The 2016 Hyundai Tucson has a more attractive design and looks better than the 2016 Mazda CX-5. And according to the 2015 JD Power Vehicle Quality Study, Mazda ranked at the bottom with Fiat and Subaru. So I recommend not buying the 2016 Mazda CX-5 and waiting until Mazda fixes their reliability problems.
The 2016 Hyundai Tucson has a more modern design and looks much better than this Mazda. According to TFL Car and Kelly Blue Book, the 2016 Mazda CX-5 has only average fuel economy... a disappointment compared to the 2015 model. And with all the reliability problems with recent Mazda models, I would avoid Mazda right now.
+A Ahmed (Tazman0001) I agree. The 2014 - 2016 cx5 have zero issues and are rated #1 in the segment by Kelly blue book, Edmonds, car & driver, and others.

Why didn't they have fold-down rear headrests and make seat's back lower???
Great car and great review
2016 CX-5 is amazing
what about this vehicle compared to the Nissan Rogue? Your thoughts...

Is Melissa going to do her own videos on her channel anymore?
Eric Oberhaus You should subscriber or check out our Video Blog channel. I made an announcement there a few weeks ago.
my friend has this,,to true about the brakes, great review thanks.
Dave -- the infotainment system that Mazda is putting out is BMW-esque.
I love this new color. I really wish this car had more horsepower, I would suffer a loss in gas mileage if the CX5 was 250 HP. Zoom zoom indeed. I drive a Jeep now so bad gas mileage wouldn't phase me much
thanks for this nice review

I have this car, 24.9mpg, sluggish but responsive, it's not a quick car.
Mazda cx5 2016 👍

James Allen 100% agree. The new Hyundai designs look so modern and beautiful.
Artilheiro The main problem with Mazda's designs is that they went for the old/metro look. Now they look outdated and boring.
Shirazi Mazda = poor quality cars for poor people.
Gianluca Cannavo I agree. Mazda cars looks so cheap and tacky.
ooh 6speed!

She's force to many things I guess.
No, You didn't. ;)

Stefan Schmidt Hyundai's 2016 designs look so futuristic and beautiful.
Mazda's designs have remained the same since 2015... boring.
Daniel Thompson Mazda's designs are already getting outdated
Achtung! Mazda = poor quality cars for poor people.
Voyeuristic 69 The Mazda logo is so ugly and cheap looking... they need to get rid of that first.

looks and feels cheap.
No it doesn’t
