Brianna – The Mazda CX- 5 looks sleek, very appealing to the eye. Great size car for the family, not too big but can fit all you need.

Alex- We were lucky enough to get the Red Mazda CX-5, I loved the red boldness. I also liked the sleek look of the car and thought the longer style front bonnet was really cool.

Mazda CX-5 Comfort and Style

Brianna – The inside was very stylish and matched the sleekness of the outside, the seats were beautifully comfortable for any type of driving long or short and there was plenty of leg room in the back for a adult too.

Alex- It was very comfortable leather material, really easy to use seat adjusters and the steering wheel had a great grip to it.

Mazda CX-5 Technology and Features

Brianna – The multi media had all you need and was very easy to navigate, all the features like aircon and sound system were great. The back seats folded down all the way which is perfect for transporting large items and gave you a lot of space if needed. The side mirrors didn’t have the best visibility due to the over magnified mirror making it hard to see all your surroundings. The car had all the safety features such as lane departure and breaking warning everything you would want for some extra safety.

Alex- I was a massive fan of the ease it took to use the controls for the multi media panel. The knob was able to either twist or push to control which made it a lot less distracting when driving to help you change the screens, from media to phone to Navman. The review mirrors and side view mirrors I found unsatisfactory as they seemed to have a narrow view of vision and was a little to magnified. The headlights at night time weren’t the greatest however the high beams made all the difference.

Mazda CX-5 Driving Experience

Brianna – The car drove beautifully, very smooth and great suspension. Fuel economics was great as it didn’t use too much petrol even in peak hour traffic. For long trips this car would be prefect, and was be very comfortable to drive on the road with smooth steering and acceleration with ease and great breaks.

Alex- The steering in particular was very easy to maneuver and control, the breaks and acceleration pedals were both very smooth and untroublesome. I found it quiet powerful and with that the fuel efficiency was quiet good.

Mazda CX-5 Lifestyle compatibility

Brianna – Overall I think this is a great car and I would be very happy having it as my everyday car. Going away would be perfect for whatever holiday we would like from filling the car up for camping to a luxury holiday and sightseeing with long distance travel.

Alex- I found it a very comfortable and stylish SUV type vehicle, and would defiantly be interested in getting one for myself in the future.
