I researched for a long time before buying. The CX-5 is very highly rated by practically every reviewer and website. The particular one I settled on had fairly high mileage, but it also had every possible bell and whistle - loaded. The engine is not particularly powerful, but is very revvy and willing. The transmission is excellently designed to get the most from the engine, both in MPG and performance. This crossover corners very well, and is rock solid and confidence inspiring at any speed. It doesn't drive like an SUV at all! It feels and drives more like a well-sorted sports car. It also has tons of room and comfort - unlike any sports car.
I have only have this car for about 5 months, and have had NOTHING but trouble with it. I swear, It has been in and out of the shop at least 1x/month since I drove it off the lot. The back is not big enough to fit anything, and the engine isn't as powerful as expected.
I live in Michigan and needless to say we have had a pretty harsh winter, but luckily I haven't had to deal with getting stuck in the snow or worrying about weather at all while driving my car. It's plowed through 6-12 inch snow drifts without a problem. The traction control and AWD work great. It's pretty roomy and its a good crossover vehicle for someone like myself who doesn't want something too big.
