Thinking of buying the 2018 Mazda CX-5?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2018 Mazda CX-5 for sale by us right now. Here is the 2018 Mazda CX-5 for buyers: fuel use, size, recalls and a test drive that lasts a week.
What to check on the CX-5
A pre-purchase inspection at a shop you choose is money well spent. Check whether every recall was done, by the VIN, before you pay. There are 3 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Owners filed 351 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, unknown or other and power train; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.2L 4-cylinder turbo with front-wheel drive is the powertrain to look at. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. Front-wheel drive is the usual layout for cars this size, predictable in the rain and the snow.
The combined figure, 8.1 L/100 km, means roughly 24 litres for 300 km. Expect about $12.56 per 100 km at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$3,300 a year for 15,000 miles.
Living with the CX-5
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
A good match for
It suits someone whose own car is in the shop for a while. It suits winter trips and weekends with more gear than people.
A longer test drive
Rent the CX-5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.
The cost of driving it
The EPA estimates US$3,300 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $12.56 in fuel.
Picking a year and a trim
Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.
