    New CX-5 - When Should I really get my first oil change?

    Or you could just do fixed service intervals, based on either distance/time. Works on my Mazda and it worked on all the cars I have owned. :-)

    Poll Who is interested in the MX-30?

    We're not looking for a second car at the moment but if/when we do, the MX-30 is very much in the running. We don't need an electric car with high range, like a Tesla, so the MX-30 would actually fit quite nicely. But I get it's not for everyone. It is more of a lifestyle car than many other...

    Poll Who is interested in the MX-30?

    I test drove the MX-30 yesterday. Excellent build quality and a real upmarket interior. Soundproofing is also good. I kinda like the fake engine noise they've put in, it's not loud, just sort in the background and I find it non-intrusive but it gives this perception of an actual engine. Ok...

    Here in Denmark the CX-30 skyactiv-x is about 6-7% more expensive than the Skyactiv-G (150 hp version), so not a lot.

    Next-gen CX-5: Rumors from Japan

    It's only supercharged because the SPCCI tech needs a supercharger to deliver enough air to work, as the 3.0 I6 is a Skyactiv-X engine. So you need to compare it to a NA 3.0 engine for power and torque.

    Oil and oil filter for 2018 2.0 Skyactiv-G AT

    Just wanting to share my experience with the 2.0 Skyactiv-G, although in a CX-3 but it's still the same engine. My Mazda dealer, who services my car uses a Q8 5W-30 A5/B5 oil and so far that hasn't caused any issues at all with oil changes every 20,000 km and I've just passed 160,000 km. It...

    New CX-5 - When Should I really get my first oil change?

    I don'thave a CX-5 but a CX-3 and I just follow the instructions from Mazda, changing oil every 20,000 km when it goes in for service and the first oil change was after 20,000 km (at the first service) So far I've done just over 159,000 km and it's still running smooth using very little oil...

    Poll Who is interested in the MX-30?

    There is :-) If you see the review on Autogefühl he actually mentions the rangeextender when he shows the cutaway MX-30 at the showroom, it's placed next to the electricmotor in the front. Go to 5:06 in the video for the cutaway.

    Poll Who is interested in the MX-30?

    I'm both interested in the MX-30 but would also like an electric or pluging-hybrid CX-30, so the poll is a bit limited for me (maybe give the possibility to choose motre than one option?) but I chose "I want an Electric CX-3, 30, 5, 8 or 9".

    For those eagerly awaiting Gen 3

    Where's the $6300 price difference coming from, is that official from Mazda USA or is it just made up? In Germany the price difference on the CX-30 2,0 122HP to Skyactiv-X 180 hp is $2700 (converted from €) and from 2,0 150hp to Skyactiv-X 180hp it's $1600. This is for the FWD version, for the...

    For those eagerly awaiting Gen 3

    But the Skyactiv-X isn't even offered in the US, so why show the price difference in $? In the second article they quote Mazda Europe chief executive saying that "60 per cent of Mazda3 orders have the Skyactiv-X engine, while 45 per cent of CX-30 models sold also have the unit." So I'll wait a...

    Has anyone bought a CX-30 yet?

    Depends on where you live I guess. Here in Europe all CX-30s comes with HUD but it looks like you need a specific package in the US to get it.
