Hi all,
Well I have finally sold my 2015 Mazda 6 Touring Sedan (yippy)
So today I went for another test drive of the current 2017 Mazda CX-5 and before I did, I asked the salesman if he had hear anything on any updates for 2018 model as I am willing to wait for this updated model. He advised no.
I went off for my test drive (by myself) and returned. Very quiet and refined and has some get up and go even with climate control on (was 27 Celsius / 80.6 Fahrenheit outside whilst driving)
The salesman spoke to me about how the drive went etc and then said he'd spoken to the retail sales manager and an update is coming.
Here are the details:
That is all the information I was supplied.
So.... the bottom line
Will be waiting till April/May 2018 to purchase this updated 2018 Mazda CX-5 Akera 2.5L i-Activ AWD (Sonic Silver) with a few accessories (slimline weathershields, tinted windows, carpet mats & cargo illumination)
Something for me to look forward to (breakn)(drive)(drive2)(cabpatch)(mj)(dance)
