We are considering the purchase of a Mazda CX-5.

Any thoughts or advice, anyone?

I always found Mazda’s to be a bit “tinny”. Until 2010 they shared platforms with Ford. According to “Car and Driver” the CX5 is very underpowered, but they picked it over all other competitors. The ride, according to them, was stiff and sporty, unlike the others. They liked the view and considered the interior sparse. They considered it a very good every day small SUV. They did have some quality issues that the dealer repaired.

My daughter had a Protégé and despite her best efforts, she could not kill it.
