Mazda CX5 2.2 diesel opinions

bikingbarney

Looking at selling my Octavia VRS and buying something with a higher driving position like a CX5.

Took one for a test drive today and really liked it.

Anyone run one on here ?

Does anyone know if Mazda still have issues with DPF systems on later cars. This one was a 2018 18 plate pre adblue.

2.2 150bhp

Excellent cars which get good reviews, not owned one myself though.

Colleague had a 2.2 Mazda 6 2014 model.  Not a single problem in 150,000, however he did 30,000 a year

If your mileage isn't at that level it probably isn't worth the potential hassle.

I have the 175 SportNav AWD, 15 plate so the mild facelift with LED headlights.  Had it since it was 18 months old.  No problems.  Fuel economy not great, but then it is a higher vehicle. Nice to drive, quite agile for a SUV.  

I stay on top of servicing and usually service before it hits 10,000 miles - schedule is 12,500

I had a 2017 Mazda 6 and did 123000 without any issues and now have 2021   cx 5 that I've done 21000 without any problems
