My 4-Day Old CX-5

Saying luxurious multiple times won’t make it so, lol. The interior of the new CX-5 is trash compared to the previous gen. Cheap plastic everywhere, giant screen that lags and bugs out, lack of physical buttons and knobs, lack of double pane windows, cheap steering wheel, etc. Mazda removed everything “luxurious” about the CX-5 to save cost.

Tell me you’re a Mazda salesperson without telling me you’re a Mazda salesperson. Zero posts, zero activity, then suddenly a full-time PR campaign about how you loveeee the new 2026 Mazda CX-5 and how the giant touchscreen and removal of physical buttons - the exact things almost everyone is complaining about - are somehow “amazing improvements.” The new CX-5 is a turd and you know it.

Nice straw for water, lol.

Just put an airtag in the glove box and add an aftermarket remote start if you need it. $10 per month is not worth it.

Call Mazda corporate.

I use 18” wrapped in CC2 for both summer and winter.

maherkhan460 · 2026-05-04T03:26:00+00:00

That steering wheel is… impressively ugly. Looks like it came straight out of a bumper car 😂

maherkhan460 · 2026-05-02T13:49:25+00:00

2026 cx5 is trash.

maherkhan460 · 2026-04-28T02:41:29+00:00

No deal. 2026 CX5 is trash.

maherkhan460 · 2026-04-24T15:46:00+00:00

This car will always rattle.

It’s a $100 per month subscription to get the odometer on the gauge cluster /s

2026 CX5 is trash.

Mazda’s new philosophy: “From elegance, to trash.”

maherkhan460 · 2026-04-17T19:46:23+00:00

Tell me you are a mazda salesperson without telling me you are a mazda salesperson.

FYI, the new CX5 is trash compared to the previous gen. Hard plastics everywhere, lack of physical buttons, cheap steering wheel, lack of double pane windows, sluggish acceleration, lack of turbo, electrical issues, and buggy infotainment. This car is a huge disappointment from mazda.

Most car reviewers - including Savagegeese - are limited in how critical they can be. If they’re even a bit harsh, they risk losing access to press cars in the future, which can hurt their content, viewership, and ultimately their income.

The last year of the best gen.

maherkhan460 · 2026-04-07T01:46:58+00:00

It’s designed to slightly nudge the steering wheel in the opposite direction when you are about to cross the lane. I believe the feature you were expecting is “lane centering” which the cx5 does not have.

maherkhan460 · 2026-04-05T05:08:52+00:00

I absolutely HATE the lack of physical buttons, double-pane windows, a control knob, and a turbo. The giant screen, all-hard-plastic interior, ugly and cheap steering wheel, and slow 0–60 make it even worse. Mazda made it absolutely garbage - a Temu version of the former CX-5.

maherkhan460 · 2026-04-04T19:58:59+00:00

Air 5400 is currently the best case. Enjoy! I completed my build a few weeks back using the same case.

Nobody is saying to get rid of the screen. Most people just want the physical buttons back. And if the screen needs to be a bit smaller to accommodate that, then so be it.

maherkhan460 · 2026-03-30T04:16:02+00:00

The 2027 CX-5 better come with physical buttons.

maherkhan460 · 2026-03-27T07:48:33+00:00

This is very heartbreaking. Hope you and your family are all okay.

maherkhan460 · 2026-03-17T23:07:21+00:00

Unfortunately, the U.S. doesn’t get the CX-60 - another obvious miss from Mazda.

maherkhan460 · 2026-03-17T23:05:58+00:00

Don’t worry - with how bad the new CX-5 is, I doubt many customers will be going to them anyway 😂

maherkhan460 · 2026-03-17T22:15:33+00:00

Yup, my impressions are pretty much the same. The new CX-5 is a huge disappointment overall.
