I like road trips. There are always some hilarious stories that come from a long ride with my co-host, Alton, and I. With the hustle and bustle of living in the city, you don’t always feel you have the time to relax and enjoy life. That’s why I love road trips. The open road gives you an opportunity to flex your mind muscles, release the stresses from the daily grind, meditate, and plan. Lucky for me, as a blogger and author, I’m usually in the streets traveling here and there on tour, covering events, supporting my team and so on.
Before our trip to Houston, the Mazda CX-5 arrived and while I was limited on the time I had to enjoy it, we made sure to revel in it! My first jaunt was a quick errand and stop at the local burger joint. Our team was working in overdrive with only 4 days until our Houston event, making cooking illogical, lol. I enjoyed my first spin in the CX-5. It felt like luxury on the interior but drove like the sporty Mazda 6. If you missed my review on that beauty, check it out here: Mazda 6 Review.
The space in the cabin of the CX-5 is to me it’s strength. I can definitely see how my team could take a much more enjoyable road trip in one of these babies. There’s plenty of legroom in the rear which would give my crew room to roam during our tour stops. The technology in the vehicle was everything I had come to love in the Mazda 6. Which leads me to believe the CX-5 would make a great companion vehicle for the Mazda 6 for any family. They are the perfect one-two punch. My co-host took the CX-5 out for a spin the comedy club and he fell in love. He loved the way it drove, but also stated that it was a perfect fit for a man of his stature (he’s roughly 6 feet tall).
All in all, I enjoyed the time I had with the CX-5 and wish I had more. It gave me the rush of a sports car that I felt in the Mazda 6, but the room and space you sometimes need for long trips with a group of your pals. I’d suggest this vehicle to anyone single or family because it just works. You can’t lose with it.
