The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
8.2 Read Our Full Review	8.0 Read Our Full Review
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2015 Mazda CX-5 is an athletic, fuel-efficient, well-designed small crossover.	The 2016 Mazda CX-5 is one of the more athletic crossovers; high gas mileage and high style just add to the value.
TCC Likes
Excellent steering and handling Smart, sporty styling Base Sport model decently equipped	Very good handling Expressive good looks Great front seats
TCC Dislikes
Rearward vision Ride can be busy on some surfaces Dated, sluggish navigation interface	Rear visibility isn't great Acceleration is just average
