Having driven a cx5 diesel for 5 years the 175ps with 420nm even with a kerbweight of 1703kg gave good performance.
But your version is well behind on both power and torque, but probably weighs more, does it still have a sequential turbo?
The other issue I have with Mazda is the lack of options lts fine if you want all the kit that's fitted, but not if you don't..
With my 190ps Tiguan I've turned off the lane control, the auto folding mirrors, the auto all Windows opening on fob option, the stop start, and was more than happy to take the standard trim..
The total cost of the options I went for was around 2.6k UK pounds before a 17.1% discount, so not a lot IMO.
Extras chosen were factory fit folding tow bar, display of tyre pressures TPMS, keyless entry ( now standard), and surround view, which is excellent, now standard on the Rtech top model.
My self I wouldn't go for the now over complicated diesel with DPf that kills mpg, and the ad-blue that requires a SCR system, when you have a more powerful petrol with even more torque than the USA offering.
We in the UK don't have the choice with Mazda, but with VW we do now have a 230ps petrol option, or a 240ps twin turbo diesel. Mazda are trying to move upmarket so need to start offering upmarket engine options, not just keeping adding price increases along with increasing kerbweight.
