    How many Brits? Fancy a cuppa?

    I was unlucky to lose 2 windscreens on my first cx5 - both caused by stones though. Auto glass both times. Takes them a couple of days to get the right windscreen as it seems there are a few for the cx5. Second time even with the vin number and advice of full spec inc safety pack etc etc they...

    Well it actually arrived early and I collected it from johnsons Mazda Oxford on 21st March. Appearance - even tho it's the same car and colour as my last one it was noticed within minutes at work - the alloys give it away first. It has a really nice feel to drive. Electronic handbrake was easy...

    Saturday... Nice weekend then ! When did you order A? I got the impression the spec / colour I ordered is in the block order - stone leather would have added delay apparently - but still don't have a del date New person Skippa - might be the best car you ever had !

    I would have liked radar cc but it doesn't seem to appear as an option yet on the dealer configuration. Shame I would have paid for that

    How many Brits? Fancy a cuppa?

    Having driven my cx5 2.2d awd sports nav for 2 years and 38000 miles, I can easily say it's still the best car I've had. Problem free apart from needing a windscreen replacement due to a flying stone (and a long wait for auto glass to source the screen). Time has come for me to change though...

    i have done 550m and got 37mpg so far , most of that in cold weather tho. Went to Derby on friday - used the lane departure warning on the Motorways - it really works well. Coming back on the M1 at night heavy snow fell, many cars ended up spinning but cx5 was very solid. It gets quite a few...
