US Diesel's big splash introduction

I would love those kind of figures.
I did last week when I saw the 2017 Diesel listed as a future vehicle. No updates yet.
the 2017 is quite intriguing considering it's launching in Q4. Why not just call it a damn 2018. who knows, maybe it'll be a last minute change by Mazda.
Are these for the roughly 150 hp or the roughly 175 hp engine?
175

Yes, its been reported on here that engines come short of oil but in fact, Ive changed engine oil a couple of times on the 2016.5 and when the required 5.1 litres is added, it always shows about 5 or 6mm under full. That makes some sense because the upper mark is the max and not necessarily the exact mark of a full sump. Ill keep updating you but so far so good. Theyve definitely done something. The new engine has new pistons and presumably new oil control rings that work. Good stuff.

These figures should be based on Imperial gallon, right?Had a trip of 100 miles today. First 20 steep hills then mostly flat. This is the end result
And nice to see the blue moving average pip on the top side of 40
Like the way it shows the average MPG on the LCD "analog" MPG gauge.
It's the real mpg not USA version [emoji23]
Yeah USA ones are (rofl)
That is more than 10mpg higher than my 23.6 mpg on 87octane petrol...
But considering if the Diesel does happen it will be GT trim only with a price hike ....[emoji31]
Diesel on top spec Akera here is $3150.00 more than petrol equivalent

If you already have a cx5, it's never going to be worth the trade in losses and differential to go deisel if MPG money saving is the goal. However, it may be worth it from a road trip or towing or convenience perspective.
(iagree) with your points.
If one is consistently travelling long distances via freeways then yes it does make sense provided it will be kept for a while
Only use when necessary (wink)

Yes absolutely. You can make real progress when necessary or simply have tremendous fun. I drive to work over some really steep rolling hills and this engine just flattens them out. It's surprising how many seem to resent being passed like it's some kind of affront and will even close a gap but they are powerless to stop it happening;-). Their engine won't react quick enough unless it's one of the higher end petrols. We get a lot of six cylinder diesels in the big German cars, they can play with me if they want providing it isn't auntie Deidre out for a drive.
