I run it on Super Diesel, the best I can get. Trip to the dealer it is.

Hi All For the last few days I've been having a few troubles starting the car when the engine is cold. It starts on the button but is very lumpy and feels like it'll stall, after a few seconds all is fine and it runs without fault. This does not happen once the engine is warm. I've had the car...

My fuel economy has been around 39 MPG since day one. I do approx 23k per year, 90% of which is on the motorway and I don't drive like a loon by any stretch of the imagination. I think the Mazda stated MPG figures are hopeful at best.

Well, I got away with it. 360 later the car is back and wording fine; no mention of this affecting my warranty either. PHEW! I'm sure I wouldn't be idiot enough to do it again but I was the first time around so have also invested in one of these https://www.solodiesel.co.uk/

That's what I'm afraid of mate, the long wait before I find out is not good for the soul, especially as they don't have a courtesy car either!

Will do Alex, everything is crossed at the moment... :(

Tip of the day, don't fill your diesel CX5 with unleaded, they don't like it :( got about 3 miles along the M27 and thought it was running a bit rough, after 4 miles it was doing a full kangaroo. thought to myself, it was running fine before I filled up - then I looked at the receipt, really...

My BLuetooth and USB have just died for the second time in a year (car is 9 months old). Mazda dealer did a hard reset (?) last time and all worked again, guessing they will do the same again this time but I will ask for a new Bluetooth module. BTW, I had the SD card changed a few months ago so...

I'm pretty sure you need a DAB adapter of some kind to plug into the phone too. I've tried one or two of these with my iPhone 4 and the signal quality is pants, especially when driving around! Mazda just need to build it into their cars like everyone else.

Thanks for your thoughts guys, the Nook looks like a possibility. I have pretty much no budget so will be relying on the used market; I think the Nexus 7 will be out of reach. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!

anyone?

No, I wanted the high driving position and versitility offered by the CX5 so I think I got the right car, I just don't think Mazda were particularly honest with MPG figures.

Hi All I've been looking at several low cost chinese android tablets to use as a media player in the back of the car for my Daughter. We have a DVD player at the moment but it constatly skips etc and finding compatible formats that will play from it's usb port is a nightmare. I wonder if...

Yes, but on any road. Just started in the last week.

I pretty much drive 98% of the time on the motorway. I have the 2.2D (175) Auto AWD. I've done 5k in the car now and my average consumption (which I have not reset since new) is 38.3mpg - pretty pants in my opinion compared to the book figures. I'm no hooligan either, the most I;d ever creep up...

Dealership did a factory reset this morning and all working again. Randomly my USB stick wont work with it anymore (although the USB still works with Ipod etc). Very odd!

I've got a Duracell 32GB USB stick, it's been working fine with the CX5 (although a bit slow to initially read it). I have all my files in artist folders so no folder has more than probably 50 tracks in it. Only about 7GB in total on it. Anyway, it WAS working fine until yesterday, at that...

I agree entirely Buzz. Superb car but I wish they'd taken just 3 minutes longer when designing the stereo/nav system etc. Those featured on the German marques, even some budget brands, really do put it to shame.

Hi Guys Tried turning off then turning on again but no joy. Also have deleted the car from my phone, cant reconnect as teh Mazda is now not discoverable. Managed to try a friends phone as well with no luck so off to the dealership today.

Bluetooth suddenly stopped working on mine today http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123834547-iPhone-4s-Bluetooth-Issue phone button on the head unit now does nothing...going into the dealer tomorrow. Mazda UK called yesterday to advise that a TomTom fix is being rolled out soon...
