Isuzu MU-X v Ford Everest 2021 Comparison @carsales.com.au

[@scottanna7474]

Wrong about the tacho on the Everest. You can have a bar tacho beside the fuel gauge on the same screen as the digital speedo. Need to do you research better before putting such an emphasis on it in a a review.

[@S9RUT]

How'd do you actually do this?

[@Wedgetail96]

He deliberately misled on a number of the features in the Ford.

[@jamesmoros1274]

I went with the Ford😊 it had better feel on the rd and off rd. The Isuzu was simply too harsh on rd and the amount of buttons instead of nubs to turn made it a pain in that area. Good review.

[@Deatomizer]

My 2017 Everest has just over 150k on the OD. It's pulls a trailer when we camp or travel all over the QLD, NSW and Melb. It's been rock solid and still feels and drives like new.

Is the MuX noisy on stationary? I thought the Isuzu’s diesel should be more reliable.

“It’s a bit annoying how you have to drill into the touch screen to adjust things like the climate control” which is just above the controls for the A/C🤣 Oh wait you could use a voice command to adjust the A/C, maybe too much drilling for you… No digital speedo and tacho at the same time, right next to the speedo meter… The question is, has Isuzu done enough to keep the MU-X relevant for the next few years, or have they only just done enough to just catch up???

The ACCC has instituted proceedings in the Federal Court against Mazda Australia Pty Ltd (Mazda) alleging that Mazda engaged in unconscionable conduct and made false or misleading representations in its dealings with consumers Mazda has bad engines!!! bad service!!! I got a brand new cx-9 5 months ago in Brisbane, it has been towed back to dealership twice due to engine issues. and mazda never told you any detail about your car's issue. Never trust Mazda.

I gave grown to love the MUX as a great option but it looks like South Africa doesn't have the latest model spec from the research I have done. That may be the only draw back. I don't like the shape of the Everest since they abandoned the box shape. Otherwise great review.

[@xolanimtimkulu4309]

[@gregturner_awod]

Great review with a fair outcome for Isuzu. I bought one this year after looking closely at all the other available competing options, including Toyota. Value for money sat with the Isuzu, despite raised costs. I don’t like the 10,000km 6 monthly service requirements of Toyota. My new Isuzu is shaping up to be a great tow car, comfortable and safe. It isn’t a race car but it’s well built for purpose.

It all comes down to lifestyle. If you are someone that tows 3.5tons once a week or more, and that's the only time you drive the Isuzu, then Isuzu would be the best. If however, you are someone that's gonna drive in the car E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y, you want comfort, you want decent seats, a good as possible ride. not true?? So the choice is clear. The one time every 2 years you tow 3.5 tons, and you battle a bit that one day, no hassles. It's about everyday driving.

From accc vs mazda There are a lot of mazda deceive and mislead case Consumers CT and MT - Purchased Mazda CX-5 5-door automatic Akera diesel AWD in July 2016 for $52,160 On 30 November 2016, the adaptive headlights on the vehicle failed with the angle of the headlights pointing downwards towards the ground and not illuminating the road. An error message on the LCD screen displayed ‘problem with forward facing camera’. CT and MT took the vehicle to a Mazda dealership on 1 December 2016, and during 9 to 10 December 2016 and 21 December 2016 to 5 January 2017 the dealer made two repair attempts. During this period, when CT and MT were in possession of the vehicle they did not drive it at night because they did not feel safe doing so without functioning headlights. At this point, CT thought that the problem would be fixed within a reasonable amount of time. CT and MT were not given a detailed explanation of the repair attempts or the parts that had been replaced. After collecting the vehicle on 5 January 2017 CT and MT thought that the headlights did not work the way they had before. On 15 May 2017, the adaptive headlights failed again with the headlights locked in a downwards position. CT took the vehicle to the Mazda dealer on 19 May 2017, and during 26 May 2016 to 30 May 2016 and 31 May to 16 June 2017 the dealer attempted repairs. When CT and MT werein possession of the vehicle they did not drive the vehicle at night because they did not feel safe driving the vehicle without functioning headlights. CT and MT were frustrated that they had presented the vehicle to Mazda on multiple occasions without it being repaired and without the cause of the failure being diagnosed. They felt that Mazda had taken more than a reasonable amount of time to fix the issue. CT and MT felt that the dealer was unable to provide an adequate explanation of the work being undertaken on the vehicle. On 11 June 2017, CT informed the manager of the Mazda dealership by email that CT and MT rejected the vehicle as they had lost faith that it could be satisfactorily repaired and on 15 June 2017 they requested, in person, a replacement vehicle or a refund from the dealer. The manager told them that it was a warranty issue and that they should contact Mazda directly. Also on 15 June 2017, MT telephoned Mazda and stated that the vehicle had a major failure and that CT and MT no longer trusted the vehicle. Mazda informed MT that as the manufacturer it had the right to fix the vehicle under warranty. On 16 June 2017, CT sent a written request for a refund to the manager of the Mazda dealer andhad email and telephone communications with Mazda directly in which CT informed Mazda that CT and MT considered the vehicle had a major failure and requested a refund. In September 2017, Mazda informed CT that it did not believe there was a major failure and offered CT and MT two free services and a one-year extended warranty. On 16 June 2017 CT collected the vehicle from the dealer to avoid the possibility of storage fees but maintained the request for a refund. The headlights were not in full working order and CT and MT did not drive the vehicle at night because they did not feel safe driving the vehicle without functioning headlights. In August 2017, they took the vehicle to a different Mazda dealership in relation to an oil leak and requested that dealer to look at the headlights. The dealer replaced a part in the headlights. When CT and MT had possession of the vehicle again they were prepared to drive the vehicle at night, even though they were not satisfied that the headlights were functioning as they should. Throughout September 2017 CT and MT were in contact with Mazda and maintained their position that there was a major failure with the vehicle. In November 2017, the headlights failed again. On 14 November 2017, MT emailed Mazda requesting further action. On 16 November 2017, MT informed Mazda that MT and CT did not want another repair. Mazda told MT that the vehicle should be taken back to a dealer to have it looked at and that Mazda considered that CT and MT were not entitled to a new vehicle. On 17 November 2017, CT and MT filed a claim with the NSW Civil & Administrative Tribunal seeking a full refund of the purchase price.
