    How many Brits? Fancy a cuppa?

    I have now owned my CX5 Sport Nav AWD for 4 months, so here are my thoughts so far: My initial concern of the ride hardness on the 19" wheels has gone, the suspension has softened and really like the tight precise steering ( not something I had thought would be so good on this type of car). My...

    CX-5 Built with New Wheel Spec

    I dont know much about car tyres, are 19" tyres that difficult to get hold of or do Mazda use a special type of tyre? Without a spare wheel, on UK spec'd cars, as a fallback this could be a big issue.

    How many Brits? Fancy a cuppa?

    No just the new DLRs, however they go off if the car is in Park or the handbrake is on!! This made me think the weren't working when I had them fitted, then.... I read the manual.

    How many Brits? Fancy a cuppa?

The scuff plates make my Met Grey CX-5 look...

    DAB radio for UK?

    Does anybody know if the Cx5 audio system will be able to upgrade to DAB radio in the UK? I notice that Sirus is available on the US versions, so I assume that the system is software configurable. My brother has a XC60 and the DAB radio is very impressive.

    6spd AWD Diesel available in Ireland

    I drove both the petrol and diesel before purchasing my Cx5 - the Diesel is a significantly better engine, really quite and smooth, loads of torque and even better fuel economy. If the diesel is not available in your country you are unlucky because however good you think the petrol CX5 is, the...

    How many Brits? Fancy a cuppa?

    Just picked up my Met Grey CX5 AWD at the weekend, I have ordered the Tow Bar for my Mountain Bikes, the LED running lights ( to make the car more visable to other motorists, as the grey is quite dark) the under garnish plates ( I had these on my Volvo XC70 and they looked good) and the floor...
