I've been very pleased with my cx5s perfomance, but one thing that Inhave wondered about, is has mazda actually engineered the issue of carbon in DI engines away? I have 54k miles on my turbo cx5 and it is as solid, quick, efficient, and maybe even more so than when it was new. Car and Driver recently completed their 40k mile turbo cx5 test, and the results are in. At least within 40k miles, performance only gets better. This, compared to many other DI turbo designs that get slower and have build up issues without walnut blasting, etc.
Similarly, the near identical engined cx9 also saw a performance bump by the 40k mile mark, providing another datapoint.
