I am on the callback list of 3 Mazda dealers for the diesel. But I decided not to be dissed any longer and went another direction. When Mazda's phone stops ringing, it will be me.

I like your style Go Bayern Mnchen !

The CX-5 Diesel was my first choice for over a year. I am on the "callback" list of 3 dealers and I used to stare at the phone all day long until I decided another alternative was necessary. The dealers may be more disappointed than me, one of them showed me multiple pages of customers waiting...

Thanks Monty, if you become a high volume poster like him at least some of those posts turn out to be clunkers.

Yes that is true. That test run will only be a baseline for measuring the general health of the car from time to time. I am also comparing the trip computer data with old fashioned manual calcs. My preliminary opinion is that the trip computer may be a little optimistic and that my average mix...

Thanks I appreciate that. I just think that it was important to share my story in case someone was interested. Funny how the truth seems to make some people uncomfortable. Mazda annoyed me today with that email and I had an opinion about it.

Actually I am still in the honeymoon phase with my choice. Here is how it could go and why no one needs to micromanage my profile. a. My honeymoon phase could end in disaster with a broken engine or whatever b. Mazda could finally introduce the CX-5 Diesel while I am being disappointed c. I...

Thanks for chiming in. I just think I have a legitimate complaint with Mazda but instead of getting any understanding there is someone very willing to pee in my cornflakes. But I guess this is the Internet and there is always someone happy to take that role.

You really need to be looking after your own business, I don't know what that is because I don't care.

Just speaking the truth here fanboy

It seems like it was going to be exciting news. I had signed up with Mazda for updates to the CX-5 diesel coming out for 2017. Yes that's what Mazda said 2017 so I waited patiently. Today I get an email from Mazda and guess what? It tells me about their new corporate strategies, the new Mazda6...

Hi Jedi (first time I have been chatting with a Jedi) In Canada 2016 BMW X3 28d vehicles are priced in the $38,000 range. That is in the neighborhood of $30,000 US. I just discovered mine has BMW ConnectedDrive which looks like it has its own cell phone in the car for traffic updates (really...

Hey guys, I will not be complaining about Mazda's failure to update information on the CX-5 diesel any more. Some of you know that I started to look for alternatives a little while ago. My VW TDI has a little too much mileage to put it off any longer. I wanted to replace my diesel with another...

So disappointing. At 1:00AM this morning I received an email from Mazda announcing "The event is starting soon" for the non-event that took place the previous day.

Well, that was... underwhelming
