Mazda CX-5

[xxxjanxxx2]

A 2.5 engine variant of Mazda CX-5 will not be of any real benefit if you only drive 30-40 kph maximum speed.

Good to know. How about the interior (tachometer, gadgets, lcd, etc.) sir is there much difference? And can you differentiate the 2.0 and 2.5 just by looking at the exterior? Unfortunately we only have the 2.0 available on display here in Davao.

got mine early this week! very happy although minor complaints are

1. no central door lock button
2. pressing the horn is a chore
3. steering wheel is too slick/slippery for me... no grip in it

i think they should revisit the choice of material to address 3..

but as i said... im very happy with it! very little learning curve as ive been driving sedans exclusively..

Kumusta po mga bossing. I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Mine was very exciting. I've got a new cx5 as a gift to myself for being nice this year. Hahaha.

Mga bossing tanong ko lang--thus might sound like a very stupid question to some, so please pardon me. I had an incident today. While at the parking lot, i cant seem to get the car moving:
1. Steering wheel is locked
2. Check engine light is on. Battery warning is on.
3. Aircon and audio is running after pressing start button.
4. Hand break is released and yet i cant get it moving forward or reverse upon releasing the break pedal gently until fully released.

I finally got it moving after a number of restarts. Not sure if it was because of the temperature (open parking) or if it was the way i was starting the car. I think it was the later but i really cant remember if im doing something wrong. TIA

You're doing something wrong. Press the brake pedal before you push the engine start button.

Congrats on your new rides

thanks JohnM!
I really think it was a user error bit i really cant identify what is it that I was doing. It happened twice from 2 different parking lots, but didn't happened the the third parking lot, so i was thinking that I was the problem rather than the car. I'll test your suggestion tomorrow and see if your hunch on this is correct.

You are from davao too sir? My mom is getting the soul red 2.5 awd sport. She made a reservation already. I hope i did recommend her the best car that suits for her. She only wants the 2.0 but the difference for the 2.5 is way better..

Yes sir. And I have the soul red too

This is very true. You'll only get around 6km/L if you're driving downtown.

I'd wait for the refreshed mid cycle update of the CX-5. The interior is similar to that of the Mazda 3 and Mazda 6 already.

This shows that the engine isn't running. Aircon fan is on but the compressor is not running.
