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.
don’t buy kia right now, they’re being broken into like crazy. most insurers won’t even insure them.
anyways, 6-8k miles per year is nothing. you’ll be fine in a mazda that gets 25-30mpg. i drive a ‘22 cx-30 and get an average of 28 mpg
