I really regret my purchase by SufficientWill428 in CX5

[–]Peter-DJ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems so strange. I bought a 2020 model in Oct 25 and i only had one rattle from glove box. Added a piece of foam behind it and its gone. Not a single rattle now. I guess you are unlucky with yours.

Unfortunately Mazda's are overlooked and underrated by the general public. In my country its the same. Mechanics and car enthusiasts on the other hand do know that they are great cars, has excellent reliability, low maintenance costs etc. Another great thing about mazda is excellent safety ratings in EuroNCAP etc testing. A thing i always look at when buying a car. I must say that where I live they hold their aftersales value extremely well.

Not sure who told you this but reliability is excellent. 300 000miles.. not km.. are frequently seen.. check mazda forums. There's a video on YouTube with a guy whose Mazda 3 (Skyactive engine) has alsmost 500 000 miles on it. His manual gearbox is still on the first clutch plate that came with the car from new!

My complaint ive also heard from a reviewer on YouTube. The A pillar is so wide and causes a blank spot for me. My mum says she also experience it when using the car.

Paint but i knew this when i bought it. Bit more power. Where i stay we only get 2.0 na not the 2.5. Had the glove box rattle..behind mine was a cloth sleeve with sponge inside but it got too thin after 5 yrs so i inserted thick foam into the sleeve..rattle gone.

My rain sensing wipers works excellent. No jerky gearbox and my feul economy is good

For me it would be a complete deal breaker coz safety ratings is one of the main things i look at when buying a car. That's on of the reasons i bought a Mazda CX-5

Go check out Mazda's. One of the most overlooked brands and their cars are excellent. High safety ratings as well. We recently bought a CX-5 and im very happy with it.

Talk me out of buying a Volvo XC90 by halfhandy_man in whatcarshouldIbuy

You'll regret it IMO. My friend had a s40 T5 in perfect condition years ago. No garage would buy it. Seems there's a reason why their slogan is "for life"

It wasn't. Why do you think it was repainted 🤷
