Mazda cx 5 2016 review12/8/2023 With the CX-5, Mazda has finally found a balance between its lithe sports sedans and roadsters and the real-world dimensions of a crossover utility vehicle. That's why it's been lightly updated, retuned, and restyled for the 2016 model year. Plus the Bose sound system made the satellite radio really pop.Heading into its fourth year on the market, the CX-5 still has a tough set of rivals, including the just-updated Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Ford Escape, Nissan Rogue, and Subaru Forester. With SKYACTIV technology, this car was great for commuting to and from work. My week in the 2016 Mazda CX-5 was definitely fun, and I was sad to see it go. The seats include this gorgeous red stitching which is a great contrast against the dark leather. Mazda doesn’t disappoint when it comes to the details either. I totally drove around in Sport Mode whenever I could, which made it more responsive to accelerating (always fun when getting onto the freeway!). I could always find my car in the parking lot and I felt even sportier driving down the road along with the 19 inch alloy wheels. I was glad to have the heated seats those days and the 3 levels makes it easy to find the right tushy toastiness. I don’t have to dig my keys out of my Mary Poppin’s purse (which I’m sure will get 100 times worse once our adoption goes through) and can simply walk up to the car, open the door, and go!Įven though we had some gorgeous days, there was also a bit of rain and chilliness over Memorial Day weekend. I’m definitely loving push-start convenience. I found myself using the center console controls about 99% of the time with my short arms, it was a lot more comfortable (and felt safer) to just rest my arm on the armrest and flip through the screens. I really like how the Mazda CX-5 includes both a touch screen AND the option to control the screen from the center console. Access to my phone, navigation, and most importantly, the satellite radio that I could blast driving to and from work. The front screen had all the information I needed. I also had a lot of fun driving around in the sporty (and bright red!) 2016 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring. Brad and I enjoyed some wonderful weather and got to show off our brand new kitchen to our friends. This post is in collaboration with Mazda and DriveShop.
