Hello everyone,
My name is Sander and I'm new to this forum, also new to Mazda. I've got my (second hand) CX-5 2.0 MT TS+ for a month now and I have been searching for quite a bit but I can't find any discussion about the maximum rev of the SkyActiv-G 2.0 engine and what's the "reasonable point of shifting" for quick acceleration? The rev meter reads about 6500 or 6800 to be the maximum. Ofcourse I'm not going to redline it every week.
My previous car was a Fiat (MT) with 1.3 JTD engine, which sounded like dying at 3500 or more rpm, so I never got past that. I did 50.000 miles with this car. I drove quite a bit at the maximum speed of the vehicle and a lot around 85-106, 106 being the top speed.
Another car I drive a lot is a Volkswagen from 2008, also MT, this time 1.9 TDI engine. This car sounds OK with the rev limit, 4500.
So I'm just wondering what you guys suggest, think, recommend, because petrol has been a while ago for me.
Please don't blame me for enjoying driving..
Greetings,
Sander
