Mazda CX-5

Does anyone drive one or has driven one and what do they think ?

We're looking at one to replace the QQ.

We're looking at the SE-L 2.0 manual 2wd, ie the cheapo one in free white. It has everything we need and no turbo.

List £21,900 but found it at £19k new from brokers. £299 3-year servicing seems reasonable too.

I was looking at second hand but the prices are just ridiculously high and makes buying new an apparent no-brainer.

Any opinions from a driving or owning perspective ?

Mine is a 2.2 150 Diesel bought new in April. Just had it's first service (12.5k) last Friday.
Plus points - It's a lovely comortable sofa to drive, hasn't skipped a beat so far & I'm really pleased with it.
Minus points - bloody stupid knock-off iDrive control that takes up one of the central cup holder spaces, & gets in the way & changes the radio settings every time you nudge it.
Can't comment on the petrol version sorry.

Thanks for the feedback. I think it's not a car on many people's radar compared to the Qashcow, Tiguan, Yeti or Kuga. Which may explain the rarity or the residuals.

I think you are right - also might account for the cheap(er) insurance premiums as less on the road = less involved in accidents.
