 No complaints with this SUV.  Had this for 14 months now - and still love everything about it.   Approx 38000 miles at this time.  Replaced the tires in September with different all season tires.  Haven't had any problems with the snow we've had so far.  Took the vehicle on a long road trip last summer -no problems anywhere.  Would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and sporty SUV to drive!Update to my original review Even after 7 months still loving this SUV.  It handles great on the icy roads and through several snow storms this past winter.  Have approx. 31000 miles as of now.  Driving has mostly been locally to/from work etc.  but planning to test it on some longer distance trips before summer is over.   Having owned Subaru Foresters and a RAV4 along the way -was looking for a roomier vehicle and one that didn't cut off my vision when turning.  Tested Honda CRV before deciding on the Mazda CX-5.  The dash layout on the CRV was impossible to see over.  The Mazda was the right fit -love how the dash is laid out and the ease of controls.  The MPG changes as we drive.  Current MPG isn't very accurate - have seen where it registers 99 mpg and then a few seconds later shows 44 mpg.  The backup camera is ok but I still always check the surroundings.  This comes with a blind spot monitor too-helpful when driving in heavy traffic and when merging into traffic.    The interior lighting isn't the best -even turned up all the way up.     Agree with other posters this is difficult to get up to speed when merging into traffic or when you resume after a stop.   Overall it is great for getting around town to and from work and will be great for traveling as well.
