One thing really concerned me is the reliability part. Mazda CX-5 rated 2.5 out of 5 on reliability score! This is not only much lower than those major Japanese competitors such as Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, or Korean Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage, but also lower than Ford Escape, GMC Terrain and Chevrolet Equinox! 2.5 score is actually falls with all of these Jeep products which are having bad quality and reliability reputation! 2.5 score on reliability is actually the second worst on the entire list only Subaru Forester's 2.0 is worse!
I know this is only one source for the review. But reliability is one of the major obstacles I have to convince friends and families to purchase a Mazda CX-5. If Ford is the one screwed up Mazda's quality and reliability in the past, now there's no excuse to have bad quality and reliability like U.S. News indicated!
