Mazda CX-5 (2017 on)
2.2 SKYACTIV-D 184PS AWD Sport + Nav Auto
Very comfortable and a pleasure to drive.
I have only had this car for a month but it is proving to be a very good choice. Inside the car is quite refined, the driver seat has massives of scope for adjustment so getting comfortable is easy. The seats are nicely shaped so that they 'hold' you but are not as restrictive as rally type seats. Plenty of room for passengers and luggage and lots of cubby holes for bits and pieces.The instruments are all in the 'right' place and nice and clear.. The HUD took a few days to get used to, it doesn't impair your view but gives easy access to your speed, directions (when using sat nav) and warnings, without having to look down at the instrument panel.
Driving - handles very well without excessive roll when cornering at speed (unlike X-trail and Qashqai). The engine is quick to respond and very smooth with the automatic transmissions. It is the sort of car that you could comfortably drive the grandparents around on a Sunday or you can drive it harder and enjoy the excellent road handling and the fun of whizzing along twisty 'A' roads.
