Mazda CX-5

[zel.chikot]

Got the chance to inspect a CX5 yesterday * Megamall. Liked it. It's nicer than I thought, inside out.

Mazda never fails to amuse me. From the Mazda 2, new Mazda 3, Mazda 6.... I can't think of something I don't like from the whole local Mazda lineup.

This now falls fourth on my favorite CUV list.

1. Nissan X-Trail
2. Kia Sportage
3. Hyundai Tucson CRDi Premium
4. Mazda CX5
5. Hyundai Tucson (other models)
6. The rest....

;)

Actually Renzo pag nabasa mo yun review sa kotse.com, you'll be more amused with the new CX-5 especially with its 6 spd MT. IMO The best CUV with a manual transmission in its price range compared to ASX, Tucson/Sportage Gas, CRV etc. Here's the link - http://kotse.com/home/index.php?opti...ive&Itemid=176

kumusta PMS ng CX-5 ? what's the warranty ?

[JohnM]

Any problems with the seats so far? Some US drivers said their seats were popping off.

hindi maganda ang craftsmanship ng interior ng mazda cx5. madaling masira ang upuan as shown as picture. also the rubber panelling sa rear window, kumakalas din. reason why I did not pushed through with my purchase. would rather go for a honda crv.

Yep sa US forum. Concerned lang ako kasi my dad is planning to get one next year. Wala naman ako naririnig from local users pero since same factory galing lahat most likely we have the same issues. Mas mabigat lang siguro mga kano

Oh well sana version 1 problems lang maaayos na nila ang subsequent batches

[niky]

Americans. They can break anything.

If it's just a few owners, no problem. Besides, seat popping is covered under warranty.

From my time with the CX5, quality did not feel any worse than other Mazda units.

hi, this one's for people in doubt whether to get the CX-5 or the more traditionally favored brands... its a comparo done by CardandDriver. since USDM version is Made in Japan same as what we're getting.... this should be a pretty convincing argument that if u like the CX-5 you should go for it...

Thanks for the vote of confidence Niky!

He's actually choosing between the XV and the CX5. The Mazda is the lead contender because of the MT. Old as they are my mom and dad still like rowing their own gears especially on the provincial highways they frequent. They just need the extra height of a car-based SUV because it's easier on creaky knees.

unbelievable! mazda has done it again now in compact SUV category. The same skyactive powered Mazda 3 bested also 2012 models civic, elantra, focus, altis, lancer in an american car magazine compact sedan review months ago this year. Now Im already a believer that new generation Mazda vehicles are no longer gas guzzlers

Eto mga good news fuel efficient gas fed engine! Nice job skyactiv! Match it with virtually per year PMS sked ng new gasoline engines and less wear and tear, i think it's time to get rid of that concept that CRdi has the advantage, may MT kaya eto cx5 na skyactiv. Worth looking at eto ah

I have the crdi sta fe. These Tucson crdis na relatively new sa market will suffer in FC and performance as it ages. Kinekekangan lagi ng Italian tune up to remove maybe those dirty sludge as the crdi ages. my SF started 11km/liter 2006 then 10 then 9 then now nag 7km liter, it Casa maintained and low mileage.

Bad trip ang diesel dito sa Pilipinas probably bec the local refiners target market are the PUV diesels. I still have the old L300FB and still consistent in diesel FC, maybe bec it can handle dirty diesel.

gasoline SUVs are proven na consistent naman as it ages Maliban na LANg sa bumper traffic. My 99 CRV still averages 8km/liter with Petron XCS, not bad for a 13 yr old engine.

Kaya welcoming move eto skyactiv

Finally got my plates! 5 months wait!

I love my CX-5! I love the sports car sound when I sometimes rev up on Edsa.
