Mazda CX-5

[Retz]

Unfortunately the head unit is not capable to integrate a backup camera.

oh no. I guess those who wanted to put a backup camera need the HU replaced or better yet have a separate portable HU for the back-up camera.

My current average mileage all city driving....

14L/100KM

A little bit over 7 km/L. That's about right for a 2-liter SUV in city driving. Don't feel too bad, that's still better than a lot of other 2-liter SUVs, such as the gen2 CR-V and current Tucson.

You could try pushing it closer to 8 km/L with conscious economical driving, but that's about as far as you can go. Any higher than that and it'll most probably be due to lighter traffic than your car's inherent efficiency.

Thank you. I don't want to be driving consciously as it takes the fun out of driving the CX -5. My former 2nd Gen CRV had the worst mileage so you are right, I don't need to be disheartened.

Zoom zoom!

Yeah. Or we just wait for madza Philippines to have it available soon.

ser Vertigo, ang sagot dyan eh i-Stop...so u can have zoom-zoom when the car is really moving and not waste fuel when we're stuck in city traffic.... siguro baka ilabas nila sa MMC (2 or 3years later?)

[veed]

im getting 9.7-10.4 Km/L (or 9.6-10.4 L/100Km) FC with almost 3 weeks use for the MT on mixed city/highway driving.

Look! You like?! Saw this yesterday!

Interesting! Big *$$ Mazda 2. Hehehe!

Parehas ba ung crystal white ng CX5 with that of CX7? Kung parehas sila advice ko lng na wag kayo papaayos sa Mazda Makati if ever na may paint job kayo.

I had my cx5 service *mazdamakati, habang nag aantay ako sa customer lounge nakapatay siguro ko ng 30 na lamok in the span of 1 1/2 hour, nung matapos yung 1k PMS, pagsakay ko sa auto grabe, colony of mosquito yung loob. Parang ayoko na tuloy magpaservice dun. Shinare ko lang.........

let's just say di kasing dami tulad ng CRV....
kailangan two things for it to sell better.

** reduce price: dba lumakas naman peso lately? by around 150K or more....
** improve feature content: dagdag i-Stop, Leather seating, bi-xenon HID lights..
(make 19" wheel/tire combo optional)....

Hey, feedback from owners... anyone do long highway trips yet?

Will only have the CX5 for two days, and so far, signs are good. On my ultra-short moderate traffic school trip, economy is around 7-8 km/l with the CX5 MT. That's actually similar to modern 1.3 ATs and 1.6 MTs. on the same route. Highway economy looks like it could break 20 km/l on the right day with no traffic. I'm itching to find out if it's possible, but I won't have it over a weekend to test.

I think that's possible because i got an average FC of 17.5km/L when we get back here in Pangasinan from Marikina. That was last Sunday. Got it fueled full tank (that's 56 liters) from our place in Marikina with Petron Blaze. Load at the trunk is around 90 kilos with my wife as the only passenger. From Marikina to Mindanao Avenue the traffic is light and average speed is 60kph. At NLEX/SCETEX, my average speed is 110kph, that's due to heavy rain at some area of the expressway. My fuel gauge upon arrival here in Pangasinan is 3/4 full. The distance travelled is 245km from Marikina to Pangasinan. So, if you do the math and assuming that I consumed 14 liters for the distance travelled of 245km, that's 17.5km/L. Very nice FC considering I only get an average of 12km/L from my previous ASX. Not bad

ser larry0609, how did u come about with the 14li assumption? or confirmed after u re-filled to full tank at Pangasinan?

My assumption was if I have a 56 liters (full tank), and upon arriving at the destination it's 3/4 full tank (actually it's a bit more than 3/4 full), so that means I have only consumed an assumed 14 liters for the total distance of 245 kilometrs travelled 56liters/4=14liters consumed, 245km total distance travelled/14liters total fuel consumed=17.5km/liter. I did not refill yet until now as the only place where there is a Petron Blaze gasoline station is at Dagupan while am based here in Sual and that's a distance of 52km one way. I'll check actual once I have it refueled and will just consider the additional 52km in my computation later.

[niky]

Unless you're very familiar already with the calibration of your gauge, it's hard to tell. Better to double check on fill-up.

This way, you can also calibrate your economy meter... check how far off it is (typically 3-8% off).

Meron na po bang nagpa-PMS ng CX-5's nila? Kumusta ang rates? May mas mahal ba compared to other cars (especially due to the direct-injection/new technology)?

Bale 1k PMS pa lang Ako which is free. Next PMS is at 10k or 6 months. Wala pa siguro nagpa 10k PMS sa mga owners dahil CX 5 is relatively new pa, more than 3 months pa lang yata since it was launched
