    Has anyone here bought the diesel CX-5 yet?

    Yeah I thought it would get better mileage than what was reported. 39-40mpg is with light highway driving at speed limit but attainable and useful if you have a decent highway commute. My wife drives it more than I but with mixed driving it seems to be averaging 31-32mpg. Its unfortunate the...

    Has anyone here bought the diesel CX-5 yet?

    Yes I think a large part of what would bring someone to buy this model is *which experience they like best*. Given one can afford to choose between the options, the characteristics of this engine create a different experience that some people will prefer, including myself. It is not about...

    Has anyone here bought the diesel CX-5 yet?

    I came from an Audi Q5 tdi so i was already a fan of diesel; probably one of the people Mazda was targeting. I have an mx-5 and wanted another Mazda, as well as lower long-term maintenance costs compared to Audi. I personally like the diesel characteristics (real-world mpg, torque, range) and I...

    Has anyone here bought the diesel CX-5 yet?

    I just bought one a week ago. I negotiated 4K off. I havent driven the 2.5T but the diesel is very satisfying to drive. The best way to describe it is relaxed. It wont beat anything in a straight line but it moves you fairly quickly around town and it never feels like the engine is working...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Coming from owning and driving a modern diesel there is something to be said about the smoothness, torque, efficiency, and longevity of the engines themselves. Also, from looking at a few instrument dashes of models for sale, I*ve noticed near 300 miles estimated left on 1/2 of a tank which...

    What did you pay for your CX-5?

    Has anyone tried negotiating on a CX-5 Diesel? Curious as to what kind of deal one can have as they don*t seem to be moving off the lots.

    2019 CX-5 Diesel

    Wouldn't doubt if real word mpg will exceed epa estimates. I have a 14 audi q5 tdi w/ 3.0 V6 rated at 24/31 and I routinely get 28/38 with light/average driving habits w/ attainable driving range 700 miles on highway trips going 65-70 mph. It does have about 20 gallon tank though. Will be...

    2019 CX-5 Diesel

    Looks like mazda took down the Cx-5 diesel page under future vehicles. Curious if they are revamping it or just taking it down for good.

    2019's when?

    The salesmen will often tell you almost anything that might sway you into buying a model on the lot that day even if it isn*t what you want. I was getting my mx-5 serviced and looked around the showroom and, even after informing one of their guys about the leaked documents about the 19 turbo...

    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    It looks like diesel cx-5 is closer to production as carb has reissued EO showing full emissions compliance. The prior EO stated certification was conditional on certain obd calibrations to be resubmitted to carb. The due date for return of these changes was in oct/nov so it looks like this...

    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    In the motormouth video with the Canadian PR lady she mentions the diesel already passing the EPA (0:50) so it seems that hurdle is already passed as well. The conditional certification also allows Mazda to go ahead and start production of vehicles now. They have a period of time, 180 days, to...

    US Diesel's big splash introduction

    First post to this thread, and after much perusing, just wanted to say hello. Also happened to notice the 2.2 diesel gained certification for US by CARB today. Apparently there will be 2wd as well as 4wd. Enjoy: https://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/onroad/cert/pcldtmdv/2018/2018.php Scroll down to...
