the newer ones are better looking but we got to thank mazdas for not using CVT trans
Number one reason why I bought one. Toyota Vitz CVT tranny just kicked the bucket.
That’s what disappoints me the most about recent Hondas
thank your for this comment
What's CVT trans?😂 Older model better then?
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤@@DonnavonSmithDJDaddyflex
that crash segment bro, got me wanting to run into a wall head on waiting for the crash to happen
I worked in the Auto industry for quite a while and the Mazda 3 is way better than any expensive European car I drove.
Yes! I drove a new Audi Q5 and a new Toyota RAV 4 and couldn't tell the difference.
Gregskitchen?!!! Where the food is finger lickin??!!! This is a pleasant surprise.
Just my 2 cents, the reason people complain about space on the back is because they’re mostly purchased young families, and a rear facing baby seat is a nightmare for sitting in the front.
I agree! The baby casual behind me annoyed the crap out of me.
Never had an issue with the child seat facing backwards, now that it's forwards, he can kick the back of the seat!!!!!!!!!
This is the only channel where I don't skip the commercials out of sheer sympathy for the Adam and Jim
Me too
I agree wagons are way cooler than SUVs and I will stand by it
SUV much better, compact, better vision, better in City traffic.
Subaru Levorg 😍

The most underrated feature of the CX5 (that is never mentioned in any reviews, including this one), and the reason I bought one, is the 40/20/40 split rear seats. For surfers (or Skiers/snowboarders) with kids, this feature alone is game changing. The CX5 can fit all our boards straight down the middle, with a kid (car seats and all) either side. I have no idea why this in not standard in every car, I'd never buy another car without it. Most of the Euro's and Lexus have it (for Skiers I suppose). The CX5 has been brilliant.
My life would have been in ruin if you hadn't put that crash test at the end. Hot dang ReDriven editor is playing mind games
haha.....thought the same
Our 2014 2.5L petrol cx5 has been great. Currently at almost 100k km.Only swapped tyres and battery with regular service, no problems at all!
I very much like Jim's pragmatic, easy to understand no nonsense approach.
This is one review that I'll definitely be trying to show someone I know as they're seriously looking at one of these possibly even it's big brother.
The amount of space you have in with the rear seats is quite surprising to say the least.
Have to admit the safety features overview would've left me frustrated if you hadn't put the climax of those films at the end lol.
Brilliant work guys as always and as per usual guys keep up the good work and look forward to next week's videos 👍.
Honestly kinda surprised by apparently how unreliable the 2.2 diesel engine is..been owning a 2014 Mazda axela(JDM mazda3) with 2.2 Diesel for more than a year and so far it’s been a dream! never had any issues..let’s hope I didn’t jinx myself with this comment 😂
The safety run-down is hands down your best yet. And you've had some amazing ones. Legit belly laughs over here.
The hole at 7:10 would be where the inbuilt ETC card reader would go when sold in Japan.
and in my car with the Tomtom GPS unit the SD card for that goes there.
I’ve never even considered a cx5 then I started seeing all thd videos and positive reviews. I’ve never seen so many positive things vs very little negative about a car. It’s impressive. Not many people have a bad thing to say about it. That being said. The wife will be giving up her flawless 2015 Corolla to the new driver in the house. The CX5 is at the top of the list as her next car.
Overpriced basic plastic bucket. Noisy as hell on the road, firm twitchy ride. Don't bother second hand, engine intakes choked on carbon.
The owners of these things don't fix or replace a damn thing. It might have a "service history," but that doesn't mean anything was fixed. Get a Lexus instead.
@@Berserkism You work at a Lexus dealer?? You got the inside plug for a Lexus for 30 grand???
@@Bostonharborwater talk to your employer about Novated Leasing, good stuff.
@@Berserkism Cool story. 😂
@@BerserkismOoh lookie. Someone who thinks people care about their "status symbol" and lexus interiors break more than mazdas from what I've seen 😂. Get a life. Also leasing cars is such a waste and an easy way of saying you don't know how to take care of your car.
The safety segment is frustrating 😂
Waiting for the crash test to actually happen, but never eventuating. Aaahhhh
Anticlimactic 😂😂😂😂
One thing I like about Mazda's interior design is that they are genuinely very nice for their price. A lot of cheaper brands have dashboards and door cards just splashed with hard, flat plastic slabs. No contrasting colours or trims, no texture or design, nothing. Mazdas are easily one of the best in this category in my opinion, especially the bigger models like the 6.
I think the one you're driving is the KE series II/facelifted model as it has the LED "angry bird" DRLs
You're right. I was looking through the comments to see if someone said it. Also different grill, mzd connect came out with series 2
😂😂 Why do you call it "angry bird" ?
Awesome video! But you were in a KE Series 2 mate, so good to hear the NVH isn't too bad. I had a 2013 Mazda 6 Atenza and the noise at highway speed was not pleasant.
7:10 that was where the SD card used to be when they still used the TomTom Nav system in the first series KE, before the MZD Connect
Mostly unrelated, I moved a CX-60 last week, holy ship. It was very very flash inside. Didn't know Mazda had gotten so upmarket.
I drive a 2014 2.0L CX-5, that just hit 270k and has not once given me an issue. Great thing
What is the 2 l engine like in that CX-5? Just curious as I'm wanting one. Don't know if I should go for the 2.5 or the 2 l 🙂
@@lukuscannon9697 It’s got plenty of guts to get the job done, you may have to push the 2.0L more to really get up and going but the engine has always felt confident, even now with the highs kms on it. The extra power from the 2.5L would be nice but genuinely I don’t feel the 2.0L is lacking in any regard. From my experience and what I’ve heard they’re both great units and would definitely make you happy Mate! :)
@@lukuscannon9697 Hi! I was asking on the Mazda forum from Romania what is the big diferents between 2.5L and 2.0L. Someone told me that the last one is too anemic but i disagree. I bougth in march after 3 months of searching a Mazda Cx-5, 2.0L 2wd, AT, ke II from 2017 with 180.300km second hand from Belgia. Now I have 185.675km. What can I say? Really is the best choise I made it. I love this car. I don’ t know how is ke I but mine has enough power and it has that sport mode that helps you do any overtaking without emotions. I admit I would have liked a2.5L more because has much power but it was the price, 5000€ more expensive, in my country the tax over 2000cmc is considered luxury to witch is added a more expensive insurance and the most important thing the car goes 80% urban so i imagine the petrol consumption is more higher. All in all i’m satisfied with my Cx-5
Absolutely love that Mazda uses a real transmission! And not a CVT!
Just bought a used Cx5 2015 maxx sport today! Thanks Redriven
Diesel ?
thanks for super cool videos. they dont sell mazdas in my country (turkey) and i still watched this.
That little storage on the right of the steering wheel is very useful. I have had many Mazdas. I put my gate/garage remote there.
we have a 2019 2.2 diesel.fingers crossed,135k at the moment .running like a dream
I believe they fixed most of the issues by then
@@mitchell5064 i hope
Our CX5 GT 2018 2.2 turbo diesel over 110,000 km running perfectly for now. Has been driver and serviced with being a diesel in mind
They seemed to make some corrections from 2017 onwards that reduced the number of issues with the diesel.
All depends on the environment. Someone living in Northern Queensland shouldn't judge someone from highlands of ACT experience. Distance from open road speed limits as opposed to an urban driver. It's all about driver behavior, that can make or break a hand grenade.
I know the diesels have some reliability issues, but they are a dream to drive. The transmission always knows where to put the power of that engine and you never have to rev it out. The CX5 diesel has to be one of the most fun SUVs out there. It’s also a lot smoother than some other diesels at lower speeds. I don’t get why people are so scared of Mazdas 2.2L diesel…
Have u got one? I just purchased one and after reading the reviews and this vid it scares the shit out of me.
Love your reviews guys. The wife and I find them very informative and hilarious. You have a talent for presenting. Any chance of a review of the 2017 Holden Trailblazer?
Thank you for the ending. I didn’t even listen to what you were saying about the safety with those clips playing 😅
I have had every gen of the cx5 they were all so good
Thank you for showing all the crash tests at the end of the video! 🤣
Love Mazda ,such well built cars
Keen to see you gents do a review on the 2021+ Prado with the 150kw engine versus the old one
That little cubbyhole next to the steering wheel is a quick access compartment. The reason for that is when you drive into a parking building and take a ticket you pop it there, or if you just want to pop out and stick your garage door remote in it. Its not for storage it’s for fast moving items that you need for that particular journey 😎
Good video by the way 🎉
Mate's had a 2016 2.0L model for about 6 years...not a single issue in that time
There was also a recall for the wiring loom for the DRL. Which is why you see some with 1 or 2 faded DRL😊
"CX-5 Anorak".....🤣🤣 Great episode guys, this will be my next car .....or another Mazda 6, not sure yet. Thanks for showing the test crashes....it was doing my head in thinking I wouldn't see the ending lol
Cx5s are quite common in Kenya. We get them at 7yrs or less since they have started being used. Usually less than 100k Kms. The diesel was initially a big problem but these days the mechs discovered the junction pipe was plastic which would often melt therefore leading to overheating of the engine. They replace it with a metal one and other pple do a dpf delete. The car ends up being good with no issues as much. Maybe other people can pick it up
It would be awesome if you could do a review on the Honda CR-Z. Not a very common car, but it has a dedicated community around it.
The diesels love doing head gaskets too.
This is a 2.2D issue. Normally fixed under warranty and if serviced iaw the schedule at Mazda, they will fix outside of warranty too (in Thailand anyway).
Gotta review the old CX-9 (2007-2014) next!
yeah, this video reminded me about that model. I was thinking of getting one a while back
Great video. Always watching from Zambia. I have a small request to make..
Kindly review the Toyota Corolla Rukus if you may. As a fan of your content , I'd really appreciate it. Thank you keep it up.
I have a 2014 still running strong
Very happy with our 2016 CX-5. But not a fan of the electric hand brake. We've had one go, and can't drive it. Had a brake sensor go which played tricks on other electric stuff. Other than that, we like them.
That safety section was good haha
Nice video and awesome channel. Would you be able to do a video of a 2017 Mercedes GLA 220d 4 matic
Would definitely prefer a Mazda6 wagon
And you're right, that safety film was the most frustrating film ever haha
My wife has owned a 2.2 diesel from new 2018. Had it replaced after 2 days.
6 months ago (134,000km at the time) it was losing power and was dangerous on the motorway as it would lose power. Took it straight to Mazda, needed engine replacement.
Relatable
My parents broke down in a 2015 cx5 diesel 4 years ago, luckily it still had a month warranty left. 😮💨
Just bought a used 2016 cx5 sport today- it certainly looks the coolest as opposed to the crv, etc in my opinion and fun to drive! Easy driver and has some zip!
Mazda - can’t go wrong!
Great review
I love these cars and this generation. My only complaint is the noise level at 80mph. Other than that, what a car
Thanks again Adam & Jim - I’ve owned many Subarus but wouldn’t touch a post 2013 Subaru with a barge pole thanks to the flawed CVT and factory oil leaks etc - recently I spent time with friends in and around Newcastle visiting from interstate - I was taken around in my friend’s new CX5 petrol turbo variant and Mazda smartly decided not to use the flawed CVT but instead have a conventional auto transmission - I was very impressed with the journey and fuel economy - sorry Subaru but you’re off my list forever.
We got one with the old infotainment, definitely recommend a 2015 and up, but great vehicle so far. Just make sure the rear brakes get checked, apparently that's a common issue on these. Wife loves her new ride.
Good review. I have one and I like it. Usually, I buy Honda but decided to give Mazda a try. It was made with slightly different priorities than a CRV. But my used model I was able to buy loaded, for cheaper than a CRV. Pricing and availability of a used CRV was the issue, and the Mazda is enjoyable to drive.
The 2.5 is even better when mated to a manual in the mazda 3. I’m on my 3rd three but this time i got the big block! Only problem i’ve had was the engine mount. Shame they don’t sell manuals in Australia anymore 😢
Great video, but there were some incorrect information in the reliability section of this video. The gasoline engines are actually NOT atkinson or otto cycle engines. They are miller cycle engines. This, plus several other fuel efficiency and complete ignition technologies (Like the 4-2-1 Exhaust manifold (Take a look behind the engine, they are massive) and dome-shaped pistons with a cavitiy (Used to Reduce Pre-Ignition) are what give it its "SkyActive "Name. It isn't something the average joe should care about, but that is what the name means, since that's what allows the really high compression ratio for a NA engine at 13.0:1.
Also, there were some common issues that was left out, that is usually more commonly found on the SkyActive-G engines.
1. Timing Cover Leak. These arent the end of the world, since its usually minor, but can be time consuming to replace. Check the left side of the engine where the alternator sits before you buy.
2. Serpentine Belt Tensioner. This part on like to go out, and will have oil all over it. The car will still run, but it can cause the belt to prematurely wear out. Mazda has made a revised part with a better rubber seal if you do need to replace it.
3. Park Position Sensor. The sensor that tells the car its in park has a rubber nub that tends to wear out, preventing it from working. If your car occasionally wont turn off and only goes into accessory mode, that's why. This part again, has been revised if you ever need to replace it, and can easily be done by most people with a screwdriver under 1hr.
These are the three most common issues, with the plastic valve cover having some sweat into the spark plug cavities probably taking the next issue, but again not a major leak and not as common. Easy to check by removing the coils and inspecting the hole with a light.
These are all minor and will still keep the car running, but something to note to have checked/replaced before you buy.
Are you saying i could slap a hemi sticker on my mazda 3? 😍
@@otter2183 lmfao I've thought about that before too.
Technically Hemispherical is a very common engine shape that Chrysler just trademark the name to.
Mazdas is a bit different so I doubt it's "Hemispherical". But it's just a special position shape to prevent pre ignition due to this high compression ratio
Interesting to hear mechanic comments regarding the diesel. In use though, it's a much better performing engine. There are a couple of interesting points about the engine, and caveats.
The caveat is that this engine does need to be warmed like no other (reasons below). And unless well maintained, driven on the highway often to clear particulates, and serviced regularly (particularly oil change), this engine can spit the dummy at you if not loved. And I suspect it's this lack of caring for and maintaining that turns them against their owners.
Here is the interesting bit though.....
The Skyactiv-D is unique among diesels. It was borne out of decades of university papers regarding the benefits of low compression diesel in reducing CO2 emissions. Unfortunately no car manufacturer wanted to touch low compression because it had one major flaw: "cold starts are difficult when you go below 16:1".
Typically diesel engines are 18:1 to 16:1 compression. It's the lowest that any manufacturer has gone. The lower you go, the more potential for incomplete combustion and difficulty in cold starts.
But the other thing that improves from 18:1 to 16:1 to 14:1 is NVH. The higher the compression, the more like a tractor you're going to sound. 14:1 is far less agricultural.
Mazda was the first, and is still the only manufacturer to have gone to 14:1. This led to significantly lower emissions, but the party trick that Mazda used to fix cold starts was exhaust recirculation on start up. In practice this means that if you put a VW Tiguan next to a CX-5 of the same era on a cold morning, the CX-5 will sound louder on start up, but when warm, it's the VW (due to 16:1) that sounds the more tractor like.
I think Kudos needs to be give to Mazda for trying something different. This extends to making their petrol (in Europe/Japan at least, also 14:1 (high for petrol), and looking at their SPCCI engine (a good attempt at the holy grail that is HCCI).
Further Kudos need to be given for honesty.
In 2012 when this engine was released, the goal was to do all the hard work to get the engine to pass US EPA, which is extremely strict. They refused to export the car until it genuinely met emissions. (US EPA > Euro VI > Euro V).
Meanwhile we know what VW was doing. Cheating in order to meet emissions.
After VW dieselgate, both the German and Japanese governments did audits on all diesel engines manufactures in the country to determine which car makes were telling the truth, and which were lying. After the audit, Germany refused to publish. But it's well known in the automotive industry the reason for this was that all of their diesel engines were employing similar tricks to VW to pass emission standards.
Japan though, honourably published all the results. A simple outline was published on this www.forbes.com/sites/bertelschmitt/2016/03/05/japan-releases-nasty-diesel-test-results-germany-sits-on-them/
It went on to write history in a good way for Mazda.
Quote: "Mazda’s new Scyactiv diesel-powered CX5 and Demio (exported as the Mazda2) tested at or near the standard."
It turns out that Mazda, in being honest and finally getting Skyactiv-D to pass US EPA (took 5 years of detuning - which to be honest, made the good engine suck), showed their intention for honesty. When the Japanese government published the results, they stated that among all diesel engines, the Skyactiv-D was the only engine to pass their test. Effectively it was the only car maker making honest claims.
Diesel might be going out of fashion now, but it's still good to see Mazda went all Japanese geek engineering style after Ford left (2010 due to One Ford divest), and the Skyactiv-D was an example of thinking outside the box.
Loved my mazda 6 wagon but old age required a higher seat hence I now have a cx5
My 2017 ford Mondeo’s wiper blade started making that annoying weird noise so I had to order a replacement pair. I have ordered the Wipertech Wiperblade now. Applied your coupon. I hope it is as good as advertised 😕
The rubber only wears out on my wipers, so I only replace the rubber.
My parents 2016/17 (can’t remember exactly) diesel cx-5 needed a new engine about two years ago. Fault with the radiator cap/radiator not circulating fluid apparently ( you’d think the regular servicing would have picked up the issue). Same thing happened to my sister’s friend 😢. Difference was that my parent’s one was under warranty but hers was bought second hand so she needed to replace the engine out of her own pocket.
Also, Just wondering. Isn't the variant your driving the 1st generation, post facelift? The Picture you showed had the pre (2012-2014) and post (2014-2017) facelift, but both were gen 1 Mazda CX-5s. After 2017 was the 2nd gen CX5 (KF).
The version you were driving did have the revised steering and noise insulation. As the 2012-2014 had no noise deadning material in the doors or trunk hatch to save on weight. Most of it was on the bottom of the car, and it let the car to have more road noise and feel a bit cheaper than you'd want to. In the facelist, they added noise insulation in the places I mentioned. Knock on the doors or the pre and post and you'll see the difference.
Alot of the issues with the pre facelist were issues due to chasing high fuel economy numbers, like the small 2.0 engine, no noise deadning, thin glass. Most of which were addressed in the post facelift.
That said, we own a pre facelift with 180,000kms and its been great! Just wish I had the 2.5 from the 2014+ models
That small hole by the driver is (By the steering wheel is) was where the navigation computer (for the KE1) if you had optioned it. The SD Card goes in there. If you didn't have Nav, you got that cubicle.

@@yahyamasood8436 Are you taking about the facelift 1st gen or the actually new 2nd gen?
I was refering to the 1st gen pre facelift with the TomTom Navigation. That's where my sd card is.

@@yahyamasood8436 I know, I was just saying that's probably a carry over from the moulding of the dash used on the KE1
I bought a used diesel. The previous owner didn't care it will, so now I'm repairing it 🤦🏻♂️ I had a blown head gasket, I replaced all of that, now I'm changing bearings. But it drove well prior to me doing my head gasket
I'm hoping to be done with this project soon
I know this is about the CX5, but in defence of diesels, I have the 2 D, I have had only 1 problem in 8 years. The O2 sensor was defective and fixed for free outside of warranty. Apart from that insignificant issue, it is superb. Where else could you get a 1.5li doing 75 mph on the motorway at 70.6 mpg (120 kmph at 4.0li/100km)?
That weird opening near the steering wheel is likely where the JDM ETC card reader sits.
Or your garage remote. 😉
Head gasket problem is a very common issue in diesel variants
That hole in the dash was where the satnav card thing used to be on the older model
Adam was considering one of these before buying a Honda CRV, Jim talked him out of it, the what goes wrong was the script for this video when Adam asked him about what he thought 😂😂
The early (2012 onwards) CX5s, Mazda 6's 2.2diesel's , had several problems ( rocker replacement, exhaust cam replacement, vacuum booster replacement, exhaust pressure sensor replacement, cavitated injectors, dpf issues ) If your not mechanically inclined, you will go broke from the repairs.
we had an OG 2012 and loved it! paint was the only issue... faded and looked horrible
Thinking of buying one when I sell the current 2013 Mazda 6 GT wags. I love the 6 with the 2.5 petrol but getting in and out of the thing is starting to be a pain.
Review a BYD Atto 3
If you are buying diesel, go for brands that have make and sell serious diesel engines, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu.
can you guys PLEASE do an nb mx-5 (nb2 if possible)
Still driving my KE series 2 since 2015
Yes, wagons are cooler, and front wheel drive wagons are especially cool due to the small apartment levels of rear interior space available. Why aren't manufacturers making more wagons instead of SUV's? That said though, I know a couple of people that have had or do have CX 5's. They sing high praises of them. One was a company car with huge mileage and it hadn't had a single thing go wrong with it. The other one is owned by a gigging muso. Not only does he do big miles, he does them fully loaded. The CX5 doesn't compare to the 6 for space, but they're a bit of a Tardis just the same. He manages to get his bass bin and head in the back, a couple of bass guitars and still have room left over. And he loves the way that it drives.
Another great review. Thanks for the content.
Funny how BMW and Merc wagons are gigantic despite them being RWD.
FWD is like anti-cool, it's just boring and annoying to drive
Main reason is profit .
Manufacturers can make more on a single model SUV rather than a sedan+ station wagon.
@@kristoffer3000 Most people either dont notice the difference or arent good enough drivers to safely enjoy RWD.
@@kristoffer3000 From a performance driving perspective, I get it, but there's no getting around the fact that driving the rear wheels eats into cabin space, and it's a pretty small
market that cares one way or another as to which wheels are driven. I enjoy driving, I've owned both front and rear wheel drive cars, including Mercs, and I wouldn't buy a car
on the basis of which wheels are driven. But I am in my 50's and don't really care to do burn outs or push a car through the turns on the limits of traction, these days.
@@eugenewang4650 Quite easy to do here in Norway with our winters, which is a big part of why I dislike FWD, it's so bad in slippery conditions.
Doesn't take too much to learn how to properly drive a RWD car, sure FWD is easier but it's very compromised.
My mum has a cx 8 diesel with a turbo, would it have similar issues?
I have the 2.2 MZR CD Mazda 3 with 185 HP and it is pretty solid if you always take care of DPF Regeneration. This engine was also in the CX-5.
Hi, What do you mean by taking care of the DPF ? I plan to buy the 2.2 XDL AWD CX5, I read it’s not a good engine
@@sebastienpierre8292Well i have 200k kilometers and no problems so far. what i mean... you can see when the regeneration process begins in lets say 3 Litres more fuel use on 100km. Just looking at the current fuel use screen. It takes like 10 km driving above 50 kmh and having the engine between 2000 and 3000 rpm. So when i see that the regeneration process begins i dont use the car normaly... many stop and gos in city traffic for example ... i drive on highway and wait till the regeneration process comes to an end. If you abort the process too often the DPF will get cloaked and the DFP light comes on. Never had it one time lighten up in 200.000km.

Have a Mazda6 wagon SPGT turbo petrol and love it much better drive than an SUV.
wish this review came out before i bought a 2012 diesel, thing blew up on me at 140k kms
Have had one from new for 12 months. No issues. Will keep it for another couple of years before flicking it. The petrols are so good. Those diesels though. Wowee. One of the worst out there!
Mazda NZ have stood behind two faulty diesels I know of personally. Both well out of warranty but Mazda replaced the engines for free.
Little storage on right for garage remotes
For the gentleman who came up with the idea of the safety video (8:58)
May you find a diesel engine in your used CX-5
Adam always reminds me of Richard Roxburgh in the TV show 'Rake' - have they ever been seen together? 😉
I just love my HZ 79, simple.
Plus one on the poor quality paint. We had a 2021 Mazda 3 and the number of stone chips it picked up over just three years and 25,000km of ownership was pretty telling. My 15yo 3 series had fewer. Such a shame because the colours themselves are probably my favourite out of any new car lineup.
2016 outlander phev please?
I’m 6 foot and I don’t like folding myself into a car. That’s why I’d buy the suv even though I think the wagon looks better and probably drives nicer.
Almost bought one and a diesel to, why? Stupid amount of highway k's which would've meant less trips to the servo. But manual in heavy traffic persuaded me away and reports of carbon build up munching engines turned me off. I ended up with a gh 2 6 wagon in the dark blue, its been a great car except the ride is abit firm
..."With how appalling FM commercial radio is, maybe that's a good thing"...I smashed that like button at that comment lol who cares if the shark fin antenna sucks. Better off just getting your own news and steaming podcasts. Download them for offline listening if you're going on a long country trip with no 4G/5G.
I'm looking at buying a 2020 Nissan X-Trail Ti... or newer. I'm terrified from things people have been telling me... could you please do a vid on this? or possibly advise an opinion?
Have been watching all' your SUV related vids and am loving them ☺ Thank you
Stay away. Transmissions shit. I bought a cx5 and its great!
I had a mazda 3 SP25 GT. Good power and economy but so noisy on coarse bitumen I couldn't listen to radio or talk to passengers. 18in wheels made it feel every little bump in the road. I got sick of it and sold after 2 years.
That cx5 is a series 2 mate. DRLs, Mazda connect infotainment, and that climate control all later model stuff
Thats where the sd card for navigation located before on the 1st gens
Thinking of changing car, asked my garage who I really rate, They said no Nissan with CVT, no diesel Mazda.
Great review as always guys 🤙
I’d welcome being proven wrong but unless the previous owner swapped KE Series 2 wheels, front grill, infotainment and the gear shift selector, that’s a KE Series 2. Maybe why Adam was so surprised during the driving section 😂.
JM0KE103200030191 is this car
KE1031 - Series 1
KE1032 - Series 2
