Mazda CX-5 (2012 - 2017) 2.2d SE-L 5d Owner Review

Yes it is a good car and solidly built. But fuel economy is very underwhelming compared to manufacturer wildly over rated claims. Road noise is a great disappointment. Nice car to drive and reasonably spacious. Driver seat tilts forward when raised which is annoying because then seat Then can’t slide back far enough for comfortable driving position with the seat in its highest position (and I’m just under 6ft). Had serious problems with oil level rising due to DPF regeneration which throws fuel into the oil if regeneration doesn’t finish before car is switched off. Had to have an oil change twice a year for the first 4 years of ownership - this last (fifth year) has been the only one so far to get through to service without an interim oil change - must be all those PCM updates!? Love the pulling power of this car but won’t go near a Diesel again!
