Long-Term Review 2018 Mazda CX-5 AWD Rough With The Smooth

We are only in week 2 of our long-term test with the CX-5 but it has already reaffirmed why we awarded it as the Best Crossover in our 2018 CotY awards. Not only is it ever so practical, comfortable and attractively styled, it is — more importantly — ever so good to drive. Those who appreciate cars that deliver solid driving dynamics will be more than content with this Mazda. Indeed, after a few minutes in the plush leather drivers’ seat, you tend to forget that you are piloting a crossover; it feels more like a mid-size saloon. They’ve got the chassis and drivetrain spot on here.
