Hi there :)

We are expecting a child and are looking for something bigger. The CX-5 has caught our eyes and I have read good things about it.

Can someone share their experiences with the car?

I bought our 2016 CX-5 new since I needed something bigger than my abused 2004 Mazda 3 sedan. It's been amazing for us. There have been no major issues in 63k-ish miles. Outside of some early infotainment upgrades it's just been oil changes and standard maintenance.

Front passenger leg room is a bit cramped with a rear facing child seat but you can look for more narrow seats to help with that. We found a compact seat that allowed me, at 6', to comfortably sit in the front passenger seat.

The newer CX-5's have a turbo so they have a bit more pep than ours and really nice interior.
