5 Things A Dog Owner Will Love About Mazda CX-5
1. Compact Crossover SUV – Mazda CX-5 is a 5-passenger, compact crossover SUV. It’s not big and boxy, a suv that drives like much a smaller sedan. The back seat can be tight for three passengers but pawfect for one to two small/medium dogs or one large dog. The ‘dog headroom’ is just right for large dogs.
2. Fuel Efficiency – The gas mileage is great. Kelly Blue Book rated Mazda CX-5 as the 4th fuel efficient 2016 SUV. The amount you save on gas can be used for your dog’s food, toy, and health fund.
3. Priced Well with Premium Features – Inside and out, the Mazda CX-5 looks, feels, and handles like something much more expensive than what it costs.
1-4 are continue to be the reasons why many consumer buy used Mazda CX-5. Sugar’s pal Grover just bought a used Mazda CX-5. “We LOVE our new (used) CX-5! First, we all feel very safe when in the car. The back-up camera, blind spot monitoring system and brake-alert are amazing features. Grover’s dad loves the 2.5L engine; it’s pickup on the freeway and how it handles turns like a pro, while Grover’s mom loves the fuel economy and roomy interior. Everyone loves the integrated Pandora app so we can listen to our favorite songs in the car.”
4. Safety – Mazda is obsessed with consumer safety. The CX-5 is an all-wheel drive which helps improve traction in rain, snow and rugged terrain. Other safety features include, blind spot monitoring and rear cross traffic alert.
The CX-5 is named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). This safety recognition will definitely provide a dog owner a peace of mind. Travel safely with your dog. Buckle Up! Use a proper pet travel dog harness like Sleepypod Clickit.
5. FUN to Drive – The long drive to Los Angeles was comfortable. CX-5 delivered an excellent performance on the highway.
Mazda CX-5 was pawfect to cruise Rodeo Drive. Sugar had a pawsome time! A must photo opportunity – Mazda CX-5 next to the iconic GUCCI Rodeo Drive building. The hip “deep crystal blue” color made the CX-5 extra fun to drive.
Did You Know? Mazda’s US headquarters is located in Southern California. We always pass by Mazda’s USA Design Center. Just had to stop for a ‘photo opp.’ We heard that this Mazda facility offers a tour, will definitely check on it.

Lots of Golden Thanks to Mazda for allowing us to test drive the 2016 CX-5 Grand Touring AWD. Sugar, Dog Friendly Car Reviewer

Driving Matters for Mazda Consumers
Mazda cares a lot about their consumers. There’s a current recall of roughly 265,909 CX-5, due to faulty fuel filler necks. While Mazda fixes the issues, Mazda has stopped sales of 2014-2016 CX-5. from Mazda USA Media News
I like it so much… and my mom loved the color of the seats… are they easy to clean from dirty paws or do you suggest a cover or a blanket?
Oh Sugar, we love Mazda when we test drive them. We have not driven the CX-5 but bet it is as good as all the other Mazdas! All are stylish and very safe!

Looking good behind those wheels Sugar!
You look wonderful, Sugar! Mazda is so lucky to have you around. 🙂 This suv would be so much easier on my labs while getting in and out. My current suv is large and really too high. I’ve been looking at smaller suvs, I’ll definitely consider Mazda!
hugs,
Roxy, Rambo, Rocket & Heidi
