Nice acquisition man, Mazda makes the best looking CUVs on the market.

It really is a very pretty car/CUV. The proportions are perfect, and the nose - man, Mazda is really at the top of their game when it comes to styling.
The more time I spend with it, the more I love it. The Mazda3 was a fine car, and I liked it just fine, but I didn't
love it. It also felt a bit like a tin can. The CX-5 has a solidity to it that reminds me of the Tundra - it feels very vault-like. Apparently when Mazda was refreshing the CX-5 for 2017, one of things they worked on was the suspension and the liquid-filled bushings to give it that solid feel.
The one downside would be the infotainment - it's the same as what's in the Mazda3, and can be laggy at times. Android Auto/ Apple Carplay would theoretically fix that, but you NEED to use the HMI controller with it - the touchscreen doesn't work with AA/ACP, even when stopped, and it just ends up feeling kinda clunky because of it. Apparently the refreshed infotainment in the 2021 CX-5 is far superior.
I've been getting anywhere from 9.5 - 11.5L/100kms so far on city drives with light traffic, but a lot of that was in snowstorm conditions, so who knows what kind of mileage I'll actually end up with.
