One of the fastest ways to find out about the newest car you have been eyeing is to browse to a review online. These offer easy-to-understand glances into a skilled reviewer’s impressions and comparisons between various vehicles. However, you may be interested in how a vehicle does over a longer period of time, and whether it holds up to wear and tear over time. If you are looking at buying a car which has been out for longer than a few months, like the #2016MazdaCX-5, a long term test is the best review to look for.

 

Over several extended tests, including one performed by Bill Howard of Extreme Tech over 5,000 miles, the Mazda CX-5 has outperformed others as the supreme compact SUV. Howard’s review of the CX-5 Grand Touring focuses on the technology offered by the car. The adaptive cruise control system set the car following a safe and preset distance away from other vehicles even as they changed speeds. Lane departure warning tracked the car and would put out a rumble very similar to an actual rumble strip if it moved too far, which was, “less intrusive than the high-pitched beeps emanating” from other cars. The blind spot detection also cautioned drivers through an orange indicator or a small beep if you put on a turn signal into an occupied lane.

 

In terms of robustness and comfort, Howard mentions, “adults riding in the second row were pleasantly surprised by the decent legroom and spacious seat.” The car also withstood any noticeable damage or wear and tear.
