Thanks for your reassuring replies - I'm looking forward to the real thing.
Incidentally, does anyone know - can I influence the registration plate in any way (aside from going personalised)? I wondered if the dealer will have a range of plates, from which I could choose one, or is he stuck with whatever DVLA issues for my particular car?

The dealer will have a range of plate (index numbers) and mine told me what they had available. I went for personalised in any case.
It is a brilliant car. Yes I've had a lot to say regards the TomTom, but that is not a reflection on Mazda, it is simply a poor choice on their behalf re supplier.
The oil rise is another issue for me, but to date has been dealt with. It has to be considered, not only is it a new model, it is altogether new technology, and everyone says never buy a new model car that is still untried and tested by the consumer.
I spent nearly a year researching, and I sat in as well as road tested quite a few. I also watched you-tube downloads from Australia as well as America/Canada. Looked at Skoda Yeti, VW Tiguan, Hyundai I-35, Kia equivalent, Ford Kuga, Toyota Rav-4 and some Mitsubishi something or another. Rejected the lot until May last year and had a preview of the CX-5, not available to road test at that time.
I managed to take out a Manual in June for a test drive, and then the auto a week later; then paid my deposit and ordered for Sept 1st delivery.
The 3 month waiting time was fun as I was in anticipation all through the Summer.
You will love it when it arrives!

Crikey, what religion are you and can I join?
I wish,(shady)
only a typo I'm afraid
not sure how months became mothers, being mildly dyslexic doesn't help! To be honest I'm surprised I can even type!
Yes, over 26,000 miles and counting so far and I'll have only had the car a year next month!
I negotiated the 1st service with free labour but my local dealer reckons parts will be approx 90 but would seem only parts are oil and oil filter. Oil volume is 5L. I do not understand how the oil and filter total 90!
It was funny, because at around 23,500 miles the mpg seemed to jump up! Where i was getting around 44mpg/tank, i am now consistently getting around 48mpg/tank.
It's mostly motorway miles at 65-70mph with the odd blast now and then.
With the xtrail I saw more MPG, and greater flexibility low down.
If I get 44 that will be a 10% increase for me, with the extra torque as a bonus.
I still see very few CX5's, last time I saw one was a week ago, blasting down the third lane of the M62, when I was towing.

I have just had a quote of 201.44 for the 12500 service from Warrington Mazda
Mine's next week and the quote is 180 including the rotation of the tyres (Grimsby)
Why do people get the tyres rotated? Surely it means you have to replace all four tyres at the same time?
A nagging message appears from 6000 miles. Yes, I suppose all the tyres would need replacing at similar times.
Yes, but you can disable the message.
Personally I agree with the theory, don't rotate tyres as will mean replacing all 4 at the same time.
