It’s no secret that the Mazda CX-5 is a favorite among the AutoGuide.com staff.
Last year we embarked on a long-term test of Mazda’s first entrant into the growing small CUV segment and for the most part we came away impressed. Furthermore, the CX-5 finished a close second place in an eight vehicle compact crossover shootout last summer.

Some have said that the praise heaped on the CX-5 has as much to do with its sporty drive characteristics that appeal to our auto-obsessed staff, as it does its practicality. What would someone who isn’t particularly concerned with sporty driving dynamics think of the crossover?
This sounds like a job for Amanda.

On one of her previous reviews, an AutoGuide commentator requested her impressions on the Mazda CX-5 so here we are.
