Anyone here knowledgable about the Mazda CX-5?
It looks like our plans to buy a new car next year might be getting moved up . . . We have a Mazda-6 that my MIL gave to us a few years ago. It's a 2004 but since MIL rarely drives, the car only has about 80,000 miles, most of which we have put on the car. Anyway, it's having some issues and might be past the point where it makes sense to repair, given how old the car is. All of the cars DH and I have purchased have been Toyotas, and we've been happy with them (drove to 200,000 miles+, still have a Highlander and Camry).
We had planned to purchase a RAV4 once the Mazda needed to be replaced. But we needed a rental over Thanksgiving and lucked into being able to pick a RAV4, and discovered that there are a few things that we don't like. Now thinking about looking at the Mazda CX-5. The Mazda 6 has been very reliable (actually no repair costs at all in the 4-5 years we've had it, just regular maintenance). Of course we'll look at Consumer Reports and such, but would appreciate hearing from anyone who's had one or otherwise knows about this car.
