2018 Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv Pro (REAL Car Owner Review)

JR shares his ownership experience on his 2018 Mazda CX-5 as well as why he picked this SUV over Honda CR-V and Subaru XV, in this new episode of Autobuyers Philippines’ Car Owner Review segment.
JR, also shares a solution to make the driving experience in Metro Manila a bit better not just for himself but for fellow commuters out there especially during rush hour.
EXCERPT
“What surprises me is for almost 15 to 20 km per hour of speed, my gas consumption is only half tank for the whole week and some errands during weekends. Matipid sya for its size.”
5 THINGS JR LIKE ABOUT HIS MAZDA CX-5
1. “Auto” - Auto Wipers, Auto Folding Mirrors, Auto Lock
2. Cruise Control
3. Infotainment System
4. Auto Hold
5. Driving Position
“One good thing is yung center arm rest meron na ring USB port wherein the passenger can charge their phone and has an air vents as well.”
4 THINGS JR DOESN’T LIKE ABOUT HIS MAZDA CX-5
1. Doesn’t have Android Auto and Carplay yet compared to its competitors like the CR-Vs and the XVs
2. The placement of the cup holders
3. The specific battery just for this car
4. “Hindi mabasa yung RFID for both NLEX and SLEX”
Watch the full video to find out why JR likes and dislikes the above-mentioned items. ;)
**TIP for Car Owners:
“It would be better if you have a credit card na may ka tie-up sa isang gas company - a 3 percent savings will do a lot specially if you fill your tank once a week. For 1,800 pesos that’s 54 pesos.”
**TIP and ADVICE for Mazda Car Owners and Future Mazda Car Owners:
“Maganda yung Yojin 3 because you don’t need to pay for PMS for 3 years.”
“Tip lang for the Yojin 3, you need to follow the kilometres intervals, or the month. 6 months and the 10km interval, kasi kung lumagpas ka dun, their strict about it. Hindi nila gagalawin ang kotse mo; so, basically walang PMS na mangyayari or you need to write a letter pa to Mazda Philippines para ayusin nila or gawin yung usual PMS ng kotse.”

What are your thoughts and comments on JR's ownership experience on his 2018 Mazda CX-5 Skyactiv Pro?

[@dornierserctajon8094]

hindi po ba underpowered yung cx 5 pro for its size? or ok lng po? i believe medyo malapit lng engine spec niya sa mazda 3 which is a smaller car. tnx po sa feedback

[@austinsun4988]

Can’t I use Amaron or Motolite for the battery?

[@randycom3926]

This is the right way to do a car owner's review. Finally. Congratulations!

[@Autobuyersph]

Thank you, @ADOBOtoday!

[@thetrustysidekick3013]

Honestly you're getting a really good deal with Mazda. Even the base variant has a lot of the same features as the top trim. Trust Mazda to never cheap out on you.

[@sentinurse]

This owner review of this particular car is a long shot better than the one you pass off as a review in you car lend out segment.

[@Autobuyersph]

Thank you, @White Cholate

[@yobhtron]

Great real review and good tips.

[@montellbrandon445]

This is the review I'm looking for. Awesome. Well done. 👍 Still unsure if I'll get the CR-V or this car, but now I'm leaning more towards the CX-5.

[@johnnytampocao7671]

Very good review honest and better than other car reviewer almost complete detail to the most important function of the car and the owner...I also love this car and lots of reviewer praise this compact SUV as a fun to drive aside from a very elegant looking....

[@Autobuyersph]

Thank you, @Johnny Tampocao

[@pilaps9566]

Good real life review sir. Thanks.

[@howellstamaria]

Planning to get CX-5 2020 when we move to Australia this year

[@tiqi7741]

+A good review.. promotes car pooling for the good of all. double thumbs up

[@emirates2001]

Nice Car, Thanks for the Video.

[@RonRon-ml4vw]

Very insightful review. Galing!

[@Autobuyersph]

Thank you, @Ron Ron

[@alucardalu8887]

For the battery issue being expensive and available only in Mazda, I have read other owners using CTEK battery chargers to extend the battery life, which is especially usefully daw since cars with iSTOP tech tend to drain battery more

[@darcyablir4762]

even if its already 3 years ago, I' am sold by the way mazda cx5 was reviewed in this video.

[@abuanwp]

This man really know everything about money! hehe! nice Sir, I learned a lot from this video, we have same choices but I was leaning on the XV but not yet test driving.

[@janellepaligutan8245]

We have the same color mazda cx5 2018. I love this car.

[@oldmannovachrono3794]

not bad for a base model.

[@wil3zra229]

Really like this review. Makakarelate ka talaga.

[@Autobuyersph]

Salamat, Eric!

[@gaiusmerza504]

Same issue with the RFID :(

[@baloglogable]

Designed yon cup holders sa bahagyang likoran para makapa mo lg khit fucos ka sa driving

[@_TheUninvited]

The facelifted Mazda 6 has AA and Apple CarPlay. Maybe you'll get it in the future.

[@glenvictor028]

Nope. There's still no AA/Carplay for the new 2.5T Mazda 6. Probably later this year.

[@jpiligan1794]

How long it's battery will last??

[@johnmichael1799]

parang tinanggal na ung istop sa 2019 model...nice review ..

[@noj1yt]

Xpander owner review please

[@Autobuyersph]

Sure thing, @NXJ ONLINE! We'll work on that. In the meantime, please subscribe to our channel if you haven't already, to be notified should an Xpander owner review comes out. :) Thank you!

[@marie080385]

Nakalagay rin naman po sa instruction na kelangang walang tint kapag nilagay mo yung RFID, so i dont think may kasalanan ang machine ng SLEx or NLEX sa hindi pagbasa ng RFID 😂 but like your review about the car..

[@manongjr]

ana aguinaldo yes. So I guess they should improve their technology for that. In other countries maganda yung reader. Di na halos nagmemenor yung mga kotse when approaching the toll gate.

[@ianiskandar4165]

How this cx5 realibility ? Mazda is a great car but many who want to buy this car question about their durability and their after sales service like the sparepart price and availability..

[@Ivan-bg1jp]

Mazda is almost as reliable as Toyota and Honda. Especially yung mga model na nakukuha natin here is galing Japan talaga. For the maintenance and spare parts, medyo mas mahal nga lang kumpara sa Toyota and Honda. And if aftermarket parts, mas kaunti. Nakakatulong talaga if you'll buy one brand new due to Yojin3, free 3 years PMS.

[@danzanity]

Any owners here? Feedback sana after 5 years

[@jhong7115]

Is the gasoline variant ok? Or should i go for the diesel?

[@manongjr]

If you have the budget then go. But if you won’t use the awd more often I think the fwd will just be fine for your daily use.

[@jhong7115]

Thank you very much 😊

[@a101989]

is the headlights already hid or led?

[@manongjr]

Daniel De Jesus LED only.

[@straycattom]

Very good review Sir! Why no fog lights for the price of Php 1,650,000?

[@manongjr]

Alan Wong there’s fog lights for all models of cx5 in the Philippines.

[@straycattom]

Thanks! :-)

[@tonyrock5313]

Dude, shutting down and starting your engine is not good for the engine. it wears out faster.

[@ejaguilar8442]

Kia sorento 2018 top of the line please.

[@ejaguilar8442]

Review

[@Autobuyersph]

Sure thing, Ej! We'll work on that. In the meantime, please subscribe to our channel if you haven't already, to be notified should a Kia Sorento owner review comes out. :) Thank you!

[@jonathanong4583]

Is mazda a reliable car?

[@lurkingshiba5688]

yes, simulan natin sa good type of transmission(hindi CVT) tapos made in japan talaga yan. Been in japan sing dami ng gumagamit ng subaru doon yung gumagamit ng mazda..yun lang yung iba nasa vid and research na

[@goldenstatewarriors2196]

may fog lamps ba yan?

[@manongjr]

Yes it has.

[@koukimonzta]

steering is not heavy? in the US its a little bit heavy making the driver feel he is driving an Audi haha

[@conilyn]

Lol I'm a millenial that bought this car too... Yolo!

[@Dranreb865]

May cupholders ba for your milktea? Space for donut boxes?

[@daneurope9167]

sanay ka siguro sa manual lagi kang naka hipo sa shift knob..masisira agad tranmission mo..

[@franka6790]

Lots of electronic accessories. Lots of things to be broken

[@ukinnam4163]

Sir! nakakaintindi ba ng tagalog yang car mo? kasi di ako marunong mag english. mahirap kung bibili ako hindi kami magkaintindihan baka mag away lang kami ibabangga niya ako e di paktay ako! ✌✌✌

[@manongjr]

Mel Orpiano unfortunately hindi eh. And besides di mo naman sya uutusan na magdrive for you. Ikaw pa rin magddrive.

[@jhngrc_]

Wag kang mag-alala, kung di ka marunong mag English malamang di ka rin naman makakabili niyan.

[@dreidreigabgab3282]

uq mag comment tungkol sa prob nyan hahahaha

[@MrSuave-ow9sr]

OO NGA ANG HONDA SABLAY SA MAINTENANCE AT GRABE SIRAIN ANG AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION LALO NA ANG HONDA CITY!

[@manongjr]

Choko Lait Hi. I also have a 2014 honda city vx before. But I haven’t had the same experience as yours. Would you mind to share your experience here?

[@rommelbonsun2665]

This crossover is so expensive, I rather buy a new CR V.

[@pierrecurie5188]

Out of curiosity, what hospital do you work in?

[@_TheUninvited]

Almost same price with the CR-V...

[@benz2793]

You do know this is Mazda. They are worth it. Even the base variant.

[@jhngrc_]

The CRV is also a crossover, lol

[@Ivan-bg1jp]

CR-V is boring to drive.
