my record - 100 mile trip - well over 70 mpg. (see below) https://www.mazdas247.com/forum/album.php?albumid=2188&attachmentid=215672

booked cx-5 in for 3 yr service which will be 268 vat included. mot is extra. 3 years have flown! written a book, started brewing - done 240 litres this year and still get a smile when I get behind the wheel of the cx-5. there's still nothing out there i'd prefer. (although I like the look of...

there is a warning light according to the manual and i've done 30K miles in 3 years and it's not come on so far, neither did my previous diesel of 5 years and 42K miles.

I'm 6ft but long in the body and a bit shorter in the legs, plus my kids don't need a car (baby) seat so cx5 works for me. My wife is 5 6ish and when I drive her car I only need to move the set back one notch so all is good, but I have to ask did you check out sitting behind each other or with a...

Great news WNJ! My car was built Oct 2012 but I did check oil regularly and insisted on an oil change at six months as it was close to the old x. At the 12 months service dipstick C and other software revisions. The old X is much lower than the new x on the new dipstick. My car was checked...

Got this recently over a 120 mile motorway trip with stretches of average speed cameras on the m4. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b619/dadofjon/IMAG0103_zps037zsz2u.jpg no air con on but the stereo was on loud :-)

I had this over the course of 120 mile trip. http://i1294.photobucket.com/albums/b619/dadofjon/IMAG0103_zps037zsz2u.jpg a couple of stretches of 50mph average speed cameras helped. The diesel doesn't like sitting much lower than 50mph in 6th gear. Forgot to take a pic of average speed :doh:

yes but with a 130ps 1.6 diesel vs my cx-5's 150ps 2.2 unit. it was underpowered compared to my cx-5

Hi all, just thought it would be good to post how alternatives to the cx-5 compare. I had an xtrail 1.6 n-tec for 2 days did about 650 miles and drove it for around 12 hours. A, B roads & motorway. here's what I found: the good: great tech kit re: 360 degree cameras which are great to fit...

I had vacuum pump servo checked which was ok , software updated and new oil & filter. Think it was around 276 worth of warranty work. which given the fact the garage rates are some on the lowest in the uk , would be nearer 350? since the update, i-stop takes a little longer to come on when...

Hi just had this email.... VIN: JMZKEF91600147414 Dear Mr Dad of jon During routine quality checks it has been found that a number of Mazda6, Mazda3 & CX-5 vehicles fitted with the 2.2 diesel engine may experience the engine management light indicating an oil filtration problem. As your...

231.14 all in. pollen filter and brake fluid change are the main extra items over the 1 year service.

I have a blue cover, the car is silver, built in october 2012 and It's a 2.2D:p so cooler than a 2.0.

my light came on yesterday after having 2 new front tyres from Halfords Llanelli.. The old ones were 38 psi and I asked for the same settings. when checking the pressures myself they were both under inflated to 30psi. not happy with garage but glad tpms flagged it up. the previous tyre place I...
