2017 Mazda CX-5 GT (An owners REVIEW)

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Great video I Love the way you explain your first experience in driving this beautiful and elegant SUV.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Juan Tampocao thank you

[@bernadettepeets1041]

This was very helpful. I know its an old post but we are looking at buying a 2017 CX 5 GT in 2021 with 35,000 K's Our main concern is the cargo space and if it will be big enough for us.

[@Leslie83249]

Did you end up buying, i have the same concern with cargo space

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

Also why do the 19 inch wheels look smaller for some reason

[@flipfloplogic]

Beautiful car with lots of style and class

[@10tenman10]

If I had access I would probably buy the diesel version.

[@kcmega007]

Just got mine in Grey ,, yesterday,, :)

[@mikekay6288]

Good to get 'an owner's review' and well presented too. I've seen other reviews which place a couple of negatives: cabin noise and power off/on at stops. Did you find these an issue? We hope to get the CX-5 soon. Mike in Oz ps I couldn't find any of your three monthly reviews.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

mike Kay Gday. We've had the car for about 8 months now and still love it. Cabin seems totally ok. It hasn't bothered me at all. Engine stop start feature can be annoying, but if you dont brake hard at a stop it doesnt turn off...plus ypu can easily stop it all with a quick press of a button to deactivate the feature. But you do have to do that each time you start the car

Hi! Great review! I'm gonna get my 2017 CX-5 Akera next month. Just wanna ask where you got the cargo cover? It's not in the list of available accessories in the mazda website. Thanks!

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Hi there, the cargo cover came standard with out GT, I would assume it's included in the Akera too

[@jingom4529]

Very interesting video. Could you tell me if the bonnet protector is original from Mazda? How could I get it from Spain? Congratulations on this great job

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Jingo M yes the bonnet protector was an optional extra from Mazda. I'm unsure if you can get it in spain

[@PatrickGuerrisi]

I'm trying to find the 0-100km speed seconds do you know what that is

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Hi Patrick I just found this video that might help kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpu9aKafebaips0

[@10tenman10]

Why did you get the AWD? Not a lot of snow in Australia.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

10tenman10 plenty of snow and icy roads in Australia.

[@tristanpastor8129]

Whats the diffrence between GT and akera?

[@ThrottleDownunder]

There are a few extras in the Akera, Mainly adaptive cruise control, but for the extra $$$ we decided it wasn't worth it for our needs

[@DrDennis]

Is the GT model a Euro option not in USA?

[@ThrottleDownunder]

DrDennis77 Im not sure at all. But the GT model is available in most of the Mazda models in Australia

[@flipfloplogic]

Yes the Grand Touring trim is available here in the U.S.

[@TheLegendandjaguar]

Very short man

[@tristanpastor8129]

hello mate how much did you pay for the GT? thanks'

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Tristan Pastor from memory it was around the $50k mark

[@tristanpastor8129]

thanks mate. planning to get one soon. did u include any window tinting and paint protection for that price?

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Tristan Pastor we got tinting and paint protection. But if I was to do it again id get paint protection i dependently. Much more affordable and often better quality. My Fiesta ST got Opti-Coat for half the price

[@tristanpastor8129]

yah i was thinking about that. its just a bit expensive in the dealership. been watching lots of review for the GT. For you hows ur experience so far mate as a family car the GT?

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Tristan Pastor we have no complaints at all. Powerful enough, super comfortable and quite good on fuel. I don't think you'll regret it.

[@10tenman10]

I've had sunroofs on my last 5 cars. Absolutely never use them.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

I agree too, I'm not a sunroof user but my wife loves them.

[@LifeISMagix]

You should start. After work, music on, sunroof open, think about life. Amazing

[@tomasjanata545]

Hi Rob, very good video and I will get my CX5 in one month! I am really looking forward only little fear of consumption. Till now I had only diesel cars and now I get 2.5l petrol. Tomas

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Tomáš Janata Gday. Im surpised that this 2.5l is actually very fuel efficient. However not as good as Diesel. My other car is an Isuzu Dmax with a 3L Diesel and it is exceptionally efficient.

[@tomasjanata545]

Gday too. Tell me please what is your current consumption with this engine? My engine confuguration will be ( EU spec ) 196 HP, 256 N.m and 2 cylinder deactivation. I do not know what to expect but I hope will be OK.

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Tomáš Janata this is my wifes car so I'll try check it out tomorrow

[@romanondak48]

Please consult in which store you can buy the beautiful bonnet deflector? Thank you

[@ThrottleDownunder]

Roman Ondák Hi there. We got this bonnet protector as a Factory add on from Mazda Australia

[@romanondak48]

Thank you
