I think its already safe to say that Ive heard all the good stuff about the Mazda CX-5, now I wanna hear some real life cons from real life owners here. From what Ive researched, some are cramped rear seats, road noise at highway speeds and limited engine options. Anyone confirm these? or share other issues they've experienced?
 
A few takeaways for you tho as a car critic, the rear seat space is tight considering if you've got taller passengers or kids in bulky seats, which kinda makes it fine for short trips but not great for adult road trips, then the road noise is another one, we can say mazda has improved it over the years, but on rough pavement or at highway speeds, you'll still hear more than in something like in other cars and this is just some
All the same its a great car

Interesting points! Ive actually read about the tight space, good thing none in the family is that tall lol. And im also trying to be positive about the road noise, we love playing music so i think thats okay. Thanks for pointing these out tho!
