CX-5 Owner ages?

I own a 2024 CX5 Turbo. I am 82 and my wife is 81. This is my 3rd Mazda cx5. The Last 2 were Soul Red.
Wow; glutton for punishment, eh? My wife's '23 is Soul Red and, predictably, it's the most difficult car I've ever had to touch up nicks and scratches on!
BTW: I'm 78 and wife is 74.
 
I am 67 and this is my first Mazda. Drove only SAAB's from 1995-2021, would've gotten another but they went out or business. Chose the CX-5 because of the turbo. No regrets.
 
Millennial here, most of my cars have been used and under $5k. '21 CX-5 is the most I've spent on a car and the first time I've ever financed a car. Didn't have to, but money would grow faster elsewhere. Old enough I guess to have interior comfort, build quality, materials, etc be a higher priority than other considerations. Also wanting more elegant styling than what other makers are coming out with these days with tons of angles and fake vents and excessive body lines etc. I honestly could've been in a Lexus if only they weren't so ugly. Was on the fence about turbo or NA, but figured since I was going with somewhat higher mileage used, NA would be a safer bet. I've got a dedicated sports car so the Mazda doesn't need to try to be that.
 
I am in my early 60s with the CX-5, and the wife is in early 50s with the Mazda6… both turbos obviously.
They will (hopefully) last a while… wife retired in 2017 and I retired in late 2020. We don’t put many miles on them… hers just turned over 13K miles.
 
so far I am seeing the CX5 is a "mature" person's rig (young at heart lol) and that the turbo is appealing to us old guys who still like to go fast. my mother in-law who is 86 has 2017 CX5 and my brother in-law who is 76 has a CX5 turbo. good stuff..
 
I guess I'll add my stats here. 55 years old. Picked up my 25 Select NA in December when my 2019 Toyota C-HR LE got totaled from a rear ender. At first I was only considering the CX-30 but the sales guy diverted me to the CX-5 and was glad he did.

For this car, I didn't want the headaches that can come with a turbo. Wanted more of a basic car feature wise but wanted some more upscale ones. And more importantly no iStop and CD. The Select delivers all of that. This is my daily driver so utility and reliability are more important.

If I want to scratch my itch for need for speed, I have my 2013 BMW 135i, 2022 BMW S1000RR, and 2004 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R for those duties.
