About a year ago, I purchased a Mazda CX-5 for my spouse, and it was a fantastic decision. Few in this class can compete with the CX-5 - despite its age.

In its top 2.5 Turbo Signature trim level, the 2025 Mazda CX-5 is tight, zippy, entertaining and devilishly good-looking — but it suffers from a fatal flaw: a nearly unusable multimedia system.

Many agree that the 2025 Mazda CX-50 looks great, but does it drive as good as it looks?
