Auto review: A bit of good news courtesy of the 2023 Mazda CX-5

How rarely do we genuinely hear good news? It seems that most news sources delight in torturing their readers or viewers with journalism sure to outrage, titillate, disgust, annoy or anger their readers. I don’t know about you, but I am ready to hear something happy.

So, it’s with great delight that I can report that for 2023, the Mazda CX-5 crossover hasn’t changed, except for the addition of a white paint option — and that’s good.

Like other Mazda vehicles, this one punches above its weight. I had to pick up some friends in Palm Beach — friends whose own automotive corral is filled with names like Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar, Lexus and others. Climbing into the test vehicle, admittedly a top-of-the-line model, they were blown away by the cabin’s fit and finish for the price, with materials that seemed as nice as any luxury car. It’s a feeling reinforced by the CX-5’s clean contemporary cabin aesthetics.
