2018 Mazda CX-5 diesel: Everything you need to know (POV review)

[@timothyschroeder1766]

Voice commands are your friend, mate. Love it

[@rockraphlegal]

About the automatic windows, there's a CNET video of Brian Cooley answering the same question you made. For a window to have one touch up and down it must have a system to stop the window from choking someone when going up. I may be wrong, watched the video about a year ago

Diesel all the way baby

Need to invest on the microphone. Sounds speaking inside of a can

[@Tonyx.yt.]

agree, sounds like a (good quality) call through telephone

[@PDriveTV]

Thanks for the tip.

Aussies love their Mazda SUVs! The diesel mode has its place on US roads - but as yet only in California

[@justpeace999]

Great review....thanks mate

[@affinitystablepeanuts]

Good news: Mazda AU just recently said they would retrofit everything which ever came out MZD-connect-equipped with AndroidAuto/AppleCarPlay by the end of this (2018) year. From 2014 Mazda 3s to today's CX-8 and everything in between. Would be some sort of dealer-upgrade-service. At least there will be an option.

Very good review in a neutral way

[@blade8922]

When you said about the torque its worth noting that you are driving an automatic. If you tried this 2.2 diesel (175) in a manual gearbox it would defiantly feel more responsive.

[@lamborghini0610]

hmm I was surprised with your comment about automatic wipers. I absolutely love them. You can generally change the sensitivity of them (in my VW you can) if you are someone who likes them more frequent or less. I don't think I have ever taken over manually from them, but I guess each to their own :P

I'm getting this as my first car

This was an excellent review covered almost everything and probably the best I've seen and I have seen them all as am considering the car. Brilliant! Shame it wasn't as punchy as the 2.5 because the 2.5 is not available where I want to buy, so that isn't an option. A couple of questions if I may 1. You mentioned there was no sport mode in this 2.2 diesel? I was led to believe there IS a sport mode is the 2.2 AWD sky active. I assume this is what you drove so I am confused. 2. Did you notice the DPF kick in at all? One concern I have is that I will be mostly city driving and apparently you shouldn't turn off the engine if the regen mode kicks in and I am wondering if it is obvious when regent is happening i.e by the fuel economy gauge dropping dramatically Many thanks in advance

[@saauuzza]

If you are doing city driving, stick with petrol.

[@bobmarley6161]

Once the engine loosens up trust me throttle response and power feel way better

[@DronieUp]

Great review!

[@connor708]

With the upgraded diesel engine, would you reckon this engine will be more punchy with the upgrade?

[@PDriveTV]

Yes, for sure. Extra power and torque should be noticeable.

[@hypnotechno]

Interesting. what upgrade are we taking about here?

[@nigelsmith4403]

@@hypnotechno 140kw & 450nm for 2019 model

[@muzungu9625]

Is there manual AWD diesel ?

[@bobmarley6161]

Yes in the UK and honestly it's a beast for power

Were you in a Budha-box when taliking to your audience?

This should be titled 2017, not 2018...this is a F spec car not G spec
