Do you miss the features available to you in AUS?
Umm... they are from the UK and their features are slightly different to Oz land

All good(rlaugh) Oh man I mix all of you up! I'm sure I confuse people as well with living in Germany but have a US spec'd CX-5. If I cared enough to spend the money, I'd take mine to a German dealer and see about retrofitting some features.
You don't get Mazda Radar cruise control there (uhm)Couple of little things I wish I had on mine at home - the drive away locking and that little pip on the horn when it’s double locked would save a bit of shoe wear in the car park at work. One big thing I’m impressed with so far is the radar cruise control. I had it in a RAV4 while my red one was in for repair but it was nowhere near as good as this in terms of making me trust it. One thing I miss is the auto folding mirrors which shout locked when I walk away. Got to be careful with this one.

I'd point all of this out at the drop-off. Although this will not mean or change anything. I'm sure even the owner of the outlet wouldn't care less, nevermind the guys at the counter. The car will be out of circulation in less then a year.
Very few people, mostly European folks like you and me would dare to pop up the good to check fluid levels. It's rental, right? What you did with dumping expensive synthetic oil into rental is extraordinary and is bordering a felony...
are rentals really that bad? every car I rent I try to take care of it, mostly in fear of having to pay out damages in case something happens like a spill or scratches/dents. and wouldn't the rental company want to make sure the car isn't going to break down for their customers so wouldn't they make sure maintenance is up to date? i'm genuinely curious. my first cx5 I bought as a "rental" but I didn't own it for more than a year before I sold it for an upgraded GT model, but I never had any issues with it.
Exactly. A lot of people buy used cars from the rental fleets thinking they have been properly maintained. Frankly, the drivers renting these cars dont care. Its not theirs and they drive and trash them badly.
Bingo.
I know some people that everytime they get a rental, they floor it every possible chance they get
The problem is full coverage. When people get it, they could plausibly film an episode of “Jack@ss” with it and return it as is
Can you imagine how upset this person will be who has bought this 2018 CX-5 rental a year later and is facing this possible oil-consumption issue?⋯ I would not hesitate to buy a rental - most rentals are picked up by dealers and some are CPO'd too.

I can only assume that we will certainly hear about it here in a “lemon” thread. [emoji23]
Ahh.... OkYou can but it’s an 800 ($1000 US) option and the strange restriction Mazda UK has put on it is - not with stone leather interior so that’s me out. Import restrictions I guess.
