I am a longtime Mazda driver who still owns the Mazda5 and love the look of the Mazda CX5. My only reservation is the mileage. 80% of my driving in the city, and Hybrid models provide much more potential savings.(24 mpg vs 42 mpg). Planning to drive around 6-8 thousand a year. Looks like Hybrid technologies are the way to go. I can get Mazda at a discount today but there is a dealer markup and wait time for hybrid Kia. Want to hear some expert opinions here. Thanks.
They have “the best” warranty in the industry because its the only way their cars are considerable. I’ve also read many times that they are very stingy with honoring warranties. But their vehichles are some of the mos prone to requiring a warranty.
Personally I’d never buy a new vehichle that’s gonna need to be in a shop for the first few years getting repaired. Defeats the purpose of a new vehichle.
Buy a Subaru or a Toyota!
