2017 Mazda CX-5

I think this is the first time my brother did this on highway, 17 km/L. Considering that it's an AWD 2.5 gasoline variant, this is a good figure. City driving has been consistent so far, between 8 to 9 km/L. No accumulated data yet for highway driving but the figure is quite promising.

One of my best buds also has about those city drive numbers on the same variant, good sir! Grats to your brother!

My brother is "complaining" with the fuel consumption, I think he has been comparing it with his Elantra but his CX-5 has a bigger engine and is heavier compared to his car. Anyways, he is really happy with it. With all those plastic trims he got used to Elantra and Tucson, he can't complain with Mazda's leather design.

Perhaps he is starting to feel the increase in gasoline price. For me, not much since the price last year of gasoline is now the price of diesel and so I don't "feel" the increase. Plus, I get a two way travel to my usual route in one full tank compared to our CR-V 98 which is just one full tank.

Of course, we can't compare an apple to an orange. It is just that I'm truly satisfied with my purchase of Mazda 6.

Oh well, TRAIN forced a tweak in our trips, routes & lifestyle. Efficient mode is constantly on now. On foot for short distances...I still have no plans to unretire my bikes, tho. I'll try to keep enjoying combustion's last stand.[emoji4]

So what's new? They now have 360 camera system over in the US. But still no whiff of Android Auto/Apple Carplay.

Hi there! I would like to check if your brother would be keen to rent out his CX5 to us for a few days for the purpose of product testing.
Monetary compensation will be provided and measures will be taken to protect the CX5 as well.

If your brother is open, please drop me a PM!

This is rather, if I may say, an "unusual request". I understand that a test drive is somehow "insufficient" to know the car. In car reviews, I usually check the negative comments and weigh it in against on what I like about the car.

Going back, I don't think my brother will agree. However, I'll ask him.
