Great choice: you won't be disappointed! I just got a CX-50 yesterday, but the debate between -5 and -50 was not easy. I preferred the smaller dimensions of the -5 and independent rear suspension. Also didn't want 20" wheels.
... Ultimately, my choice was made more complicated because I was coming out of a 2021 Mazda3 Turbo, so the CX-5 using the older switchgear in the centre made it feel like I was going unfamiliar. If I wasn't already so acquainted with the updated switchgear, I likely would have gone for the CX-5 instead.
Happy motoring, my fellow Mazda-er!
