A few updates ensure Mazda's top-of-the-range CX-5 grade keeps up with the Joneses. It still feels a notch above many more utilitarian competitors., but there are trade-offs.

Gerald W purchased this Mazda CX-5 used for $31,000 (including all on-road costs) in 2021. Gerald W would buy this car again because: "It does everything we ask of it. It is beautifully finished and I like the minimalist approach to the interior. I prefer a torque-converter gearbox to a CVT, and I’m not a fan of turbos. The CX5 is smooth to drive, has adequate power for me, and handles well. The doors are wide opening which helps when ferrying the grandkids."
