Used 2014 Mazda CX-5 Touring

I researched compact SUVs for a very long time. I am always concerned first with quality and reliability. I purchased this vehicle under the assumption that the reliability will be very good over time. My past ownership of Mazda cars has indicated this should be the case. The gas mileage is among the best, unless you decide to go with a hybrid. The RAV4 offers a hybrid, but you will spend well over 30K out the door for not even the top trim level. The mileage on the CX5 is surely not as good, but pretty darn close for a combustion engine. I felt I would never recoup the added cost (4-5k) to justify the hybrid in terms of fuel savings over time. All other compact SUV choices were not nearly as good as the CX5 when it comes to fuel economy. You need to be very careful about mpg and engine performance. Many brands put in under powered engines to achieve better numbers. Lack of pick up and acceleration is a safety hazard. Matched with the mpg, the engine choice in the class makes engine noise. No other vehicle performed as well or was sold.
