Basic information about my car

• Make and Model: 2019 Mazda CX5 2.2D

• Time of Purchase: 17th July 2020

• Price of vehicle: RM157,000

Reasons why I bought this car

Need a replacement for my current car, Peugeot 408T which is already 8 years old, and prefer a car with less problem.

Car Selection Process

• I had a budget of RM150,000

• Model(s) that I have considered include: Honda CRV, Toyota Estima (Recond), Peugeot 3008, Proton X70

Reasons why I chose this car:

1. Good Fuel Consumption

2. Good driveability in terms of throttle response

3. Luxury feels of the interior

4. 5 years of free service

User Experience

• I have already done 8,000 km

Since the purchase, my thoughts about the car are:

It is a very good car to drive, and good fuel consumption too. 1 full tank can go up to 800 to 900km with normal driving. The throttle response is very good and a lot of available torque especially on the low RPM makes it easy to overtake and accelerate. Engine a bit noisy especially during idling, understandable as it is a diesel engine, but Mazda's engineer had done a good job in try to reduce the noise. The brake can be improved as it feels less bite.

Pros & Cons

Pros

1. Fuel consumption

2. Good low-end torque

3. Plenty of power available

4. Luxury interior compare to rivals

5. Good NVH during cruising

Cons

• Getting in-out, since the seating position quite high

• Noticeable engine noise during idling

• Brake feels less bite

• Interior feels cramp compare to CRV

• No adaptive cruise control

Ratings

• Total Score: 4

• Performance: 5

• Quality & Features: 4

• Space: 3

• Ride Comfort: 3

• Fuel Economy: 5

• Price & Cost: 5

Summary

Mazda CX5 2.2D has a very good fuel consumption, with 1 full tank can run for 800km to 900km, which is about 15~16 km/L. The downside is it requires Euro5 diesel to operate which is sometimes difficult to find especially in East Coast Malaysia. Other than that, the car is fun to drive, got plenty of torque and power for easy accelerate and overtaking. The ergonomics a bit of a letdown compared to its rival Honda CRV.
