Let me show you what I mean.Īt first glance, you might notice that the dashboard doesn’t look terribly complex and the windshield is rather large. Mazda, for me, has the easiest and most user-friendly cabin out there. Because, while I love the exterior design (it looks like a stretched Mazda3) and the roominess of the interior, it’s the technology upfront that wins me over every time. I loved the ease and versatility of the cargo space.īut, Fadra, you say, you already said you didn’t need a lot of space in your life so why else do you love the Mazda CX-5? I loved that you could even choose to fold the rear armrest flat if you simply needed extra space for a longer item.Īs for converting it from upright to flat? It was as simple as pulling a lever and watching the seats fall. While my short trip to Walmart doesn’t really show you the full capacity of the cargo space, it was more than adequate for every day shopping and seemed easily capable of those weekend runs to Home Depot. In the Grand Touring package, which is how my CX-5 came equipped, the cargo space is a comfortable 34.1 cubic feet or you can fold all of the rear seats completely flat for a luxurious 65.4 cubic feet. Here’s where the Mazda CX-5 offered me the best of both worlds. Since 2000, I’ve had no less than three crossover/SUV type vehicles and while sedans are a nice change of pace, I miss the ease of the cargo space for a larger vehicle.
And if we’re going somewhere by plane, we still need the room for all of our luggage.īut let me just be honest. And if it’s a road trip, we need room for the three of us, our bags, and our dogs. We don’t play heavy duty sports requiring a lot of gear. Okay, it wasn’t too small for me or my family because we don’t need a lot of space. It was sporty and fun and cleverly designed on the interior but just a wee bit small for me and my large family of three. I expected to like the Mazda CX-5 after I fell in love with the Mazda 3 earlier this year. And maybe I’ll convince you to feel the same way. This way, as you’re reading, have in the back of your mind that I fell in love with this vehicle on the very first day. Let me just get that out of the way, upfront. This is a review and it’s going to be biased. High expectations for the 2016 Mazda CX-5. High expectations for the 2016 Mazda CX-5.
