2020 Mazda CX-5

battery

Another jump start and reports of "the battery was low" I took it back to the dealer requesting a complete check and new battery.

transmission

I will say that the Forrester was just as loud on the engine noise, it's transmission CVT wasn't good,

The manual is written to encompass  every version of the vehicle including for manual transmission and diesel versions not sold in the US.

Feel like the transmission won’t last too long.

I imagine its 6-speed transmission is not doing it any favors.

All the reviews I read and watched said the bonus is it does not have the CVT transmission most have now days.

Transmission gets stuck in high RPMs when I've let off the throttle and I have to wait for it to come down

AND  Mazda CX-5’s do not use a CVT transmission.

radio

Some of the controls take a bit of getting used to since they are not in the usual position, such as the radio volume on the center console.

keyless

buttons which makes them easy to toggle while driving, and the infotainment system uses a rotary dial to interact with, which I personally prefer over a touchscreen because it's less distracting.

Love the car handles so well color so pretty the blue good safety features good size has so many safety features and keyless entry good feature

The interior of my car is refined with wood accents, USB access, and I am still learning all the bells and whistles, including keyless entry, with multiple driver seat adjustment settings.

turbo

I absolutely love my Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring drives smooth handles very well 187hp and 186 torque is more than adequate turbo engine would have been nice to have

The turbo was number one on my wish list and they delivered.

Promised cheaper entry for turbo with Carbon Edition trim has too polarizing taste choice of the red seats and weird exterior color.

CX-55 Looks stunning and the available Turbo engine is something I think should be standard in zoom-zoom Mazdas.

Nicely weigh steering, great handling, firm brakes and good power from the turbo engine.

Quiet, good ride, excellent interior, great std features, nice kick to the engine with the turbo.

Yes, the AWD and Turbo engine would have been great,

feature

but I will likely upgrade to a performance package in the future as I have done with all my vehicles (excluding motorcycles).

Compare the Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve or Signature to BMW X3, Alpha Romeo STELVO, Lincoln Corsair and any of the Lexus's and you get more features, better ride, and just as good looking for thousands less in the CX-5.

I got the Signature edition for the additional safety features including the parking sensors and boy am I glad I did.

Car is still tomb quiet, which remains my favorite feature.

The SUV is sharp to look at inside and out, loaded with great options, and it handled very very well; an overall great competitor for other vehicles in it's class.

After purchasing, we like the stable and quiet ride, all the safety features, and interior design.

I love all the standard features that come with the vehicle

A few complaints:  no panoramic roof option (if that matters to you), the key is ridiculously large and clumsy with

The use of all the features is very easy.

comfortable

It's comfortable and it's got the Mazda Zoom (admittedly I'm a Mazda fan).

The seats are comfortable and the settings adjust nice and easy.

Very luxurious and comfortable to drive and looks great.

The seats are very comfortable and the car is extremely quiet, especially compared to the Ford Focus I was coming from.

The interior is well laid out and includes just about every creature comfort one would need.

It’s comfortable on the inside and sporty on the outside.

Extremely comfortable, well made, and good looking vehicle.

I would prefer the access where people are sitting for their comfort.

First thing was how smooth the ride, the comfortable leather seats.

interior

After test driving multiple makes I found it to personally have a more refined interior design, handling response and ride.

The interior finish is similar to that of an Audi or BMW.

The best part of this car is the interior.

It is perfect for someone who enjoys driving.very high quality upscale interior and no CVT which is best.

Coming from a 2015, the quiet interior in the 2020 was immediately impressive, and was on par with Audi and BMW in my opinion for a much better value.

2020 Ford Escape

noise

Unless under full throttle, its not overly noisy in any situation.

I have never been in a car that made a noise like this.

As I drove away from the dealership I noticed a very distinct, very low vibration sound.

I like the car EXCEPT for the vibration that I feel when I drive normally and am not accelerating between 1000 to 2000RPM (speed start to over 60MPH.

Unfortunately,  4 days into driving it began having a very noticeable creaking sound upon the vehicle coming to a stop and leaving a stopped position and you can also hear it when driving sometimes and turning.

The only thing that sucks is the wind noise or as Ford calls it, the sound of turbulence I hear while driving over 50MPH on the driver's side.

I have noticed a rattling noise when I shut the passenger and back right door.

Several issues like on going drivers seat noise, back hatch door has almost closed on us, computer has rebooted on I4 at 75MPH, sun roof needed adjustments, seat belt harness is coming apart, cruise control does not engage. .

My only dislike is some of the interior materials could be better and my subwoofer still rattles despite being fixed.

Prior to purchasing this vehicle, please take note that when driving it you will experience  horrible vibrations at 1500 RPM.

speed

When I press gas pedal slightly to speed up when going into a higher speed limit area, I keep pressing more and more (slowly) and it finally responds, usually with a hard downshift.

On the way home from picking it up I noticed that the car struggled horribly to accelerate, seemingly switching gears back and forth, up and down, and making some kind of low, humming sound as a constant rate of speed was met.

We guess it’s due to the less effort the engine needs to work to get to speed where the Rav4 worked hard to get up to highway speeds.

Despite having slightly less horsepower, our hybrid can pass cars with ease at all speeds, and it's quiet - something that really bothered us about the RAV - it was a bit throaty when accelerating and made a funny noise every time we braked.

I got it back & the transmission went out once again.

Transmission disconnects from engine from time to time while driving.

It is loud, uncomfortable, shifts roughly, and so many other issues.

Needs new Everything transmission, breaks, computer system, powertrain, collision assistance doesn’t work, nothing works.

The engine is surprisingly powerful and responsiveness probably thanks in large part to the transmission.

The engine makes strong torque throughout the range and the shifts are where they need to be and not rushing to a higher gear like some transmissions.

The transmission is horrible - rocks back and forth when shifting from 1st to 2nd and also into 3rd gears.

Closest dealer wanted $6700.00 to fix transmission. So.

The battery has died completely 3 times in 18 months.

Never had any trouble except replacing the battery (normal maintenance).

Wish it came with a spare as there is room to fit over the battery.

warranty

I traded my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee in after taking the Jeep in for 6 service issues in 5 months as I was approaching the end of the warranty.

Roof liner is pulling away around edges, window switches pull apart so watch your fingers you can be cut, are being replaced by warranty, of course on backorder.

button, and the car basically drives itself.

button in place of the one you had to grab.

Had been spoiled by keyless entry already.

buttons, knobs and data everywhere Even has a heads up display like a jet fighter.

With the 2.0L turbo it is peppy, light on its feet and feels smaller than it is.

It feels super solid and well-made and is very peppy with no noticeable turbo lag.

Four cylinder turbo performs better than expected.

It is rated 23 city, 31 highway and 26 combined with the 2.0 turbo and AWD.

4 cylinder  with a turbo so it drives ans feels like a 6 cylinder.

The base 1.5 turbo will get up and go with plenty pep for merging or passing situations.

The 2 liter turbo provides great performance, especially in sport mode.

It also has the 2.0 Liter Turbo that gets with it..

Seats are comfortable enough, a rarity it seems in many cars of late.

But Escape’s huge comfy back seat is appreciated by guests.

but it shines at over 50 mph - very quiet and comfortable.

Pros: good fuel economy for the size of vehicle, decent cargo capacity, comfortable seats, panoramic moonroof is pretty cool.

The seats are more comfortable than the more expensive Edge.

Vehicle rides well and the interior is comfortable,,,, 

Seats are comfortable and heat up quickly.

Comfort, convenience, and the best gas mileage.

Lots of cool tech features; auto hold (holds the brakes for you, like at a long traffic light) is nice.

but grows on you over time due to excellent steering, precise tracking, taut suspension and confident AWD feel, great features and space inside.

The co-pilot feature has saved me from rear-ending another car TWICE!!

Has features I didn't even think that come in handy.

All kind of features that make life so much easier.

Love the new rear hatch feature with the push

is Owner's Manual's ridiculous!, due to trying to cvr too many myriad audio-vis., "Sync," displays, & "tech" Options available across entire Model line in single Manual!

The other safety features are not intrusive in any way.

The features of this car are incredible; since it is a 2020 model, it has all the bells and whistles.

fuel

3-hour sit at idle outside a doctor's office (would not admit me while waiting for my spouse), gas needle did not move! Impressive.

The auto stop/start function to save on fuel economy is jarring and doesnt work half the time.

Doesn't burn through fuel like other vehicles.Very dependable car.

meet all my need and more love to drive it i like the ride don't use a lot of gas fun to drive i just love everything about it

Even on the open road, I do not get good gas mileage

30 plus miles per gallon and big enough for Grand kids and dog.

i am so impressed with my 2020 ford escape hybird   i am getting 49 miles to the gallon in city driving and this car rides and runs so smooth.

My car buying priorities are price, comfort, fuel consumption and reliability.

2020 Ford Edge

Rattle sun shade been reported early June around 6000 miles on car ford said they can't get parts to fix it

As mentioned above, our Edge only has 8500 miles on it and it squeaks and rattles almost everywhere.

Comfortable ride, 
Only complaint is wind noise in drivers window.

Fit and finish could be better as I have had dirt/salt find its way through the lower door panels and slightly more road noise than I expected.

Ford ruined this vehicle with a sewing machine engine that just revs and makes noise.

button to flatten the back seats, remote start, blind spot monitoring/lane assist, etc.

NAV, panoramic sunroof,  heated seats, Wi-Fi,  leather seats, keyless entry,  remote start and even a heated steering wheel!

I like the panoramic sunroof, keyless lock and unlock abilities and the height of the vehicle.

The car is roomy, quiet and comfortable with good performance from the 2.0 turbo.

The turbo 4 engine has enough power to satisfy our needs and the fuel economy is very good.

but is probably better with the 19"s.  I like the sport mode which is way more responsive, especially off the line but my wife is happy with the normal mode with the 2.0 turbo.

I love to drive the vehicle with its twin turbos that are supported by its superior suspension.

The turbo boost is great for passing on the highway- or just to feel that little power trip.

Tons of power 2.7l twin turbos, it can really haul the mail.

Too much turbo lag, too little power, lack of performance support.

I love the comfort my husband has a bad back and the seats are comfortable for him.

The seats are very well padded, comfortable and high quality.

I am so excited with my Ford Edge.So .I like the best  operating  of my car .It is great and the different thins Demi showed us making the adjustment more comfortable to drive

Very comfortable for long drives, including that ride with road feel

I feel very safe and comfortable driving.

Excellent safety features make it well worth the lease payment.

it has more features than i will ever use

Sharp looking wheels with many great safety features.

This vehicle has more options than I imagined and I am looking forward to learning everything it can do.

This vehicle has all the options we wanted and very comfortable to drive.

Great ride has a ton of features that are easy to use and luxury appointments

The value for the money is great as well and it come standard with many safety features

I am very impressed with the smooth quiet ride and all of the features.

ride

where the 2013 drives like a plush riding truck, the 2020 Edge ST drives like a sports car .

As with the others the strongest points continue to be the very quiet cabin and solid ride.

This car rides better than my Cadillac did.

It has a great ride, is very quiet, has comfortable seating, good performance, better than I expected gas mileage, and a lot of tech.

Above average nice ride and creature comforts

2019 Mazda CX-5

button, and stylistic dashboard design made the drive feel pleasant and allowed me to drive in such equanimity.

button is located very inconveniently behind the gear selector, making it hard to reach.

button does not illuminate at night so you have to feel your way along the edge of the mirror until you get to the button.

SIGNATURE ADDITION - Better them showroom new, TURBO, special interior,19inches signature wheels &#38; tiers, garaged always when not driven.

Its turbo engine is responsive yet fuel efficient with regular unleaded.

The power I have with the Turbo (Signature CX5) is amazing for the price.

Other than that it had more than enough power in any traffic situation and was instantly responsive with NO turbo lag.

The vehicle handles like a dream and the turbo engine has plenty of power and responsiveness.

With a turbo, this car outperforms most all competition in its price range.

The ride is comfortable and interior is roomy with lots of pickup(Turbo).

Also, my wife has the 19’ CX-9 Touring and that turbo is so smooth!

Both the larger engine w turbo and its' pick up on the highway is excellent

The Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring Reserve is a fantastic car with comfortable interior and top-of-the-line performance features.

It’s is comfortable, has plenty of features and still hauls a good bit of my stuff!

It has every option you could want, love it, it holds the road excellent, comfortable, good mileage, I’m happy I stopped in to “look”

Features on the vehicle made the vehicle feel very safe.

They were all priced right, with a well thought out interior, safety package and affordable maintenance plan.

This version of the car also has just about every feature you can think of, from ventilated seats, heated steering wheel, endless safety features, automatic opening of the back, etc.

I had a Cadillac SRX prior to this vehicle and the fit, finish, performance and comfort of the CX5 Signature  is every bit as good, or better, than the Caddy and the Mazda has tons more features for the price.

All the modern safety features, and reliability that's up there with the best.

I like the seats also-very comfortable for my back.

Have the Signature model for 1 year 2 months.Low mileage due to pandemic.Great handling solid feel comfortable seats.Maybe too small for some

Although I stayed with a CX5, I've found this one to be even more comfortable than my other one and I can still say that after having driven it nearly cross country this summer.

The interior is very nice; the driver and passenger seats are very comfortable and have heated and ventilated seats, which is nice on a hot summer day.

This GTR trim I've added front parking sensors, backup beeper cutoff for trailer, 360 deg camera, and LED interior lights all at dealer.

But we consider an added bonus the smooth ride, as well as overall interior and exterior appearance of the CX-5.

The list of Pros is long as many other people have mentioned, including excellent performance and handling, very nice appointments on the interior and great exterior styling.

The inside feels well put together and sound system sounds great

Upscale interior, superior performance, gorgeous design, & quality build for the money you can't 
ask for much more.

The CX5 blows away the rivals when it comes to interior quality, road noise, and handling.

2019 Volkswagen Jetta

Don't hear the Darth Vader transmission noise others have referred to,

The sensor that prevents you from hitting things alerts for no reason, the transmission sticks and makes grinding noises.

Usually flawless.But, strange how VW is ignoring this noise.

I have had it into the shop and they fixed most of the rattles and the fix lasted a week.

ORIGINAL BRAKES SQUEAK WHEN MOIST DEALER SAID NORMAL ITS NOT NORMAL.

Same transmission grinding noise as everyone else.

The drivers seat squeaks a bit and there is a rattle somewhere behind the glove box, which I will let my service department know about at the first oil change.

Vent distribution
Creaking noises
Burns oil
Break noise
Windshield viper
It is very frustrating to have a brand new car that has so many problems and you have to fix something almost every month.

Makes a strange Burr noise from transmission on light lazy acceleration.

Many recalls and transmission sensors failed twice, the said mpg is way lower than advertised and guarantee does not cover bended rotary after 20000 miles and consider it as wear and tear!! !

The transmission has two seperate known issues, It has a noticeable torque converter rattle at low speeds, and uneven shifting in the lower gears, oh yea some of them leak fluid as well.

8 speed has shifting problems at 3-5 gears, low rpm, torque, rattles, grinding noise, burns oil, and has leaks after less than a year. problem!

Some of the biggest complaints: Bland highway manners, vague steering feel,  weird grind in the transmission when shifting, very poor seats,.
