Mazda CX-5 SUV SkyActiv-G 165ps 2WD Sport Nav+ (09/2018 on) 5d Owner Review

Had it from nom new (2019). Very comfy, easy to drive and park. Lots of room inside. Cavernous boot. 2L petrol is a bit wheezy on steep hills. Motorised mirrors stopped retracting after 2 years but were replaced on warranty. A year later, the motorised boot lid stopped working. Had to replace the 2 struts at £745 each. Warranty had expired so bill came to £2600. It has loads of tech, some of which is quite annoying, e.g. beeping and locking automatically (sometimes - seems to have a mind of its own). Switched off lane departure warning. It too is annoying. Preferred my old Ford Galaxy which was less techy, but more powerful and had electically heated windows. The sparkly red paint is difficult to match if touching-up. Go for boring self colour. Gun metal wheels and all leather interior are cool.
