No I did not coat the windows. Don't think its meant to be for glass. Just did the painted surfaces. Doesn't affect the glass if some application gets on to it.

I used this Hybrid Ceramic Wax and the results are as the review mentioned, i.e. the paint surface on the car seems smoother and in the rain, i believe the surface repels the water better so the car doesn't look as dirty. I don't believe it gives a better shine to the paint surface though. My...

No doubt probably 95% of owners of these vehicles would never go 4WDing but good to know how capable they are in some light offroading conditions or when you get into some sticky situations when you happen to veer off the beaten track. I always feel that extra confidence with the AWD when...

Australian BASIC OFFROAD TEST - 10 SUVs compared. Tests were: Offset Mogul, Chassis Rigidity and Log test. Article Video Fair to say the CX-5 did excellent. RAV4 was a bit of a flop. The Tiguan failed the chassis flex test. The Subaru Forrester not surprisingly came out on top.

Anyone compared the Turbo with regular vs. premium fuel? Any noticeable difference?

... when you look back at it everytime after you've parked it. (as they say) additionally for me: ... when at home I occasionally pop into the garage just to have a look at it. ... when I take the scenic route every weekend drive. ... when I still give it a wash/clean knowing the forecast is rain.

Both the Pre-2016.5 & 2016 19" looks the goods and matches the car nicely. i.e. Pre-16.5 with the honeycomb grill and 2-tone rims on the flat grill of the 2016.5 Not a fan of the pizza cutters but the 2019 - new 19" on the GTR matches the design of the car quite nicely.

In Australia, the CX-5 sales are stronger than ever. 2nd outright in Private sales behind Mazda 3 in the last 12 months. 5th outright for most sales YTD Overall. 1st in it's vehicle class by a big margin.

Similar functionalities in many ways. My E90.

The Diesel is not an issue. The latest version now produces about the same power as the 2.5G petrol and with 450Nm of torque. It's even the default and only engine choice in the new CX-8. Still disappointed with the non-debut of the Skyactiv-X as yet.

Excellent. Cheers for the info. Let's hope the momentum swings back up for Mazda this month in the US. Will wait and see.

It's 2000, not 52000! It's just the dodgy format. Looks OK on a desktop PC but saw it on phone with tapatalk and there was no space between the 5 and 2000. Sorry. How did sales of the CX-5 go in the US ?

Looks alright but not for me. I do like chrome pieces here and there in certain areas. Not a hater. Love white and the pinstripe!

Wow. The CX-5 is about a full second quicker to 60mph than the Turbo Tiguan in both AWD and FWD guise.
