I was wondering if I should purchase extended warranty https://www.mazdausa.com/mazda-extended-confidence?pageParameter=ownersWarranty, and if so, what's a good price for it? I think this is generally negotiable.

This is just insurance. But buying it from the F&I guy AFTER you've bought your new car leaves you little negotiating power as to its cost. Most EWs have a very high profit margin, easily 200-300%, and they ARE negotiable, but that is most effective with the new car purchase.
It depends on how averse you are to out of pocket repair costs vs an insurance policy for X miles/years. I agree with "no" at full price. So, if you can negotiate it to half, then that changes things IMO. It was a "peace of mind" thing for me, but I negotiated it to 1/3 of the retail within the purchase of my new 4Runner (in 2010, which was a totally new Generation that year).
Also, to some who are financing, it's simply a few more $$ per month vs a potential out of pocket someday. And, don't forget the deductible. $100 deduct adds to the end cost. Mine is $0.
Like my Toyota, a Mazda is highly reliable, and not likely to have serious problems outside of the oem warranty. It's your money, and only you know what peace of mind is worth, but if you can't get it discounted, then it does become a questionable value.
Newb intro: Lurking for several weeks, looking at new CX5 for wifey. Nice forum.
I bought it. The LED lights are something like $1200 each to replace alone.
Wonder if the lights would even be covered? Seems like they would be a wear item or if damaged by rock might not be covered
