This is our first Mazda, and I'm wondering how they hold up, over time.

 

2014 Cx-5 = 100k miles now.
Only incident so far - At 96 K total transmission - 3rd transmission repair party cost $4300.
Nothing else I can thing of.

 

About as well as you would expect a Japanese designed/built car would last. They are great machines.

 

Totally agree. We have only 26K miles on our 2018 CX-5 but from my previous experience with vehicles from Toyota, Honda, and Mazda, reliability is not an issue.

 

In the last 7yrs or so, I can't recall seeing a single Mazda CX-5 stopped dead along the road or highway. (Can't say that about many other makes/models of vehicles.)

Purchased a pre-owned 2016 CX-5 GT AWD, earlier in the year. It's got over 90Kmi now. Only one prior owner. Great shape. Has only needed the normal and customary wear items and period maintenance steps. Have all records.

In short, it's only one of two vehicles I've ever owned that I would have zero qualms over traveling across the country on a moment's notice. The other was a Mazda as well.

At 100Kmi, I'll be strongly considering refreshing the suspension and replacing all key older hoses, but that's my retentive nature in preferring to keep ahead of issues. Have already had all the fluids and oils swapped (transm, diff, coolant, brakes, steering). In the Spring, I'll look at taking off the throttle body and doing a good (safe) cleaning. Tend to be hard on seats, so within the coming year I'll be looking at a new driver's seat.

Great car.

 

I have a 2015 CX5 GT that I bought a month ago at 126k on it. Rear shocks blew out and they are not fun to replace! needs 2 new wheel bearings up front. Other than that, seems ok.. engine/trans run good.

 

2018 GT 105K Miles

Issues: Nav Touch Screen randomly makes selections when stopped, I live with it
No other real issues at all, I've only spent money on maintenance, my Germans cars stare in confusion

 

Life is too short to own German cars

 

We currently have a 2016 CX-5 GT with 57,000 miles and a 2019 CX-5 GT with 33,800 miles.

 

2020 Grand Touring 18,500
I'm hoping it goes as well as my ownership of all my Japanese manufactured cars/SUVs and motorcycles.
Though I must say my BMW-Z4 & K1200GT and Ducati 9000SSIE weren't so bad either.
More than I can say for my 1973 LT-1 Corvette (with less horsepower than my WRX) and a HD Sportster which I worked on constantly.
