40lbs cripples the driving feel! Calm down......

I had a 150PS model for 3 years and change to the 175PS in summer. Both are manual. It's my wifes car, I drive it at the weekend sometimes. The new NAV is better for me, although to tell you the truth I have little use for it. I hated the old TomTom, nothing to do with the Live traffic, I...

Can just hear it, but only because I made a recording, listened to it and thought it was not clear enough, but it does sound the same as yours to the trained ear. Phones or cameras don't really pick it up very well as I expected. It is also loudest when coming off the throttle in 2nd or 3rd...

Your right, it was the US norm. I cant find the article anymore, it compared US to Euro 5 and 6.

I read in some German reports that manufacturers predict normal road driving to produce about 5 times the lab results required to confirm to Euro 5 and 6 so from 300 cars, only 5 came close to the lab results, the rest were around 5 x more. Manufactures simply point out out that this difference...

Seriously? There is no harm being done pressing pedals with the engine off.

Drive to range ZERO then fill up soon afterwards. I get about 540 miles each tank. Capacity is 58 litres, most I have got in is 52 litres which leave 6 litres in the tank.

My MPG has increased going from a 150ps to a 175ps CX5, both AWD. The only thing I noticed, and it is fairly obvious is there is a difference in the gearing. The 175ps has longer gears than the 150ps. In the 150ps I would often put it into 5th at about 35mph, that was about a comfortable lower...

Ggh, this isn't the pinging noise we are having, your noise sounds like a typical noise for a diesel, but it's hard to say from your description. The pinging noise is high pitched, it starts about 20mins after engine start once the engine is warm and you hear it at the same volume regardless of...

As long as it works they way you want and it is covered under warranty does it really mater too much? I never thought of which car to purchase depended on the country that the individual parts were made in.

Low emissions, low use of gas, active at keeping the sky clean etc.

Have to agree with littlebear, if I read MikeM statement without knowing what car he was talking about, the last guess would be a CX5! MikeM, what you say it true mostly, but for the everage Joe who is buying a CX-5 which is about 99% of buyers, they will notice the extra power of the 2.5L way...

You have to add this as an option? What if you don't, you just have the back seat then an open trunk? Never heard of a car being sold without some sort of cover to at least keep people eyes off what you have in your trunk.

Correct, the noise is present at all revs, at low revs and idle, the engine itself is so quiet that it's practically the only noise you hear.

Folding mirror control is still too awkward. My Mazda 2 has a simple button to fold in and out, much better this way rather than the rotating 4 way switch.

I am certain these are two different problems. The OP is describing this problem. http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?123840465-Pinging-noise-on-cx5-diesel The noise has been reported in CH, UK, Iceland, SA, DE and recently Austria. There seems to be a fix by doing an injector...

Exactly like a VW DSG. I had a R32 with paddles, if you downshifted or upshifted then done nothing with the gas, would go back to auto in maybe 5 seconds, if you accelerated and shifted to the next gear, then done nothing it went back to manual in maybe 10 seconds. If you done a 10 mile blast...

I would hope they have moved on from the 405, I'm sure they have. I was consider a Citroen, but never a Peugeot, not sure why, just one of those things.
