Latest owner's reviews for the CX-5
The best:All of
The worst:Years
The best:The 2018 Mazda CX-5 is one of the best all-round SUVs in its class. It combines reliability, comfort, sporty handling, and premium interior quality in a way that still feels modern even today. Unlike many SUVs that feel heavy and boring to drive, the CX-5 actually feels responsive and enjoyable on the road, almost like a smaller sports crossover.
The interior is surprisingly premium for the price range, with soft-touch materials, a clean dashboard design, and very comfortable seats. Mazda did a great job making the cabin feel more expensive than it actually is. Road noise is lower than older Mazda models, and the suspension gives a smooth ride while still keeping good control in corners.
Fuel economy is decent, especially with the diesel versions, and the engines are generally reliable if properly maintained. The automatic gearbox is smooth, and the steering feels precise and confident. The infotainment system is simple and easy to use, although compared to newer cars it can feel slightly outdated.
In terms of practicality, the CX-5 has good boot space, enough room for a family, and strong safety ratings. Maintenance costs are usually reasonable, and overall reliability is considered very good.
Pros:
- Stylish exterior design
- Premium-feeling interior
- Fun to drive for an SUV
- Reliable engines and gearbox
- Comfortable and practical
Cons:
- Infotainment system feels dated today
- Rear seat space is slightly tighter than some rivals
- Some diesel models may require attention if mainly driven short distances
Overall, the 2018 Mazda CX-5 is an excellent SUV for someone who wants reliability and practicality without sacrificing driving enjoyment. It still competes very well against newer rivals and remains one of Mazda’s strongest models.

We started the car, it worked and then turned off on its own. On the second attempt, it wouldn't start again with the help of cables. It started and the computer didn't report any errors.
