My god going from a sh*tty FG interior to something like this is next level. It is insanely comfy 🤣 So nice to have carplay/AA in a car from factory, that actually works lol. She is absolutely over the moon happy to have this car Heated/Cooled seats, even in the back! Heating steering wheel, Heads up display, auto open/shut boot, sunroof, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, list goes on. Thing goes hard for a i4 N/A too, nothing like the big rig but still. She keeps up with the traffic. Brakes SUUUUUUUUUCK though. Gonna have the dealership take a look at that just in case 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cx-5 had been on the radar for ages, since just before I put the car up. But they were also asking for an unreasonable price. However when the car sold, we went back to the Mazda dealership and the car had dropped dramatically, back to being reasonable for its age and specs. It was originally up for 47k which is damn near new car territory. Had dropped to 38k which put it on par with the same spec cars for sale on the market at the time. No kids yet, but seeing as we've got the car its reasonable to assume they are not far off 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Andrew Gold Donating Members 2,035 Member For: 9y 7m 6d Gender: Male Location: Canberra ACT Posted 02/01/24 09:59 PM Share Posted 02/01/24 09:59 PM Typical dealer tactics I think - put it out there at a ridiculous price and see what happens. If no one bites then make it reasonable.Good buy - everyone I know with a Mazda is very happy. I particularly like that they evolve their design language rather than drastically change it every few years. Even my brother's 2004 Mazda 6 still looks reasonably modern because you can see the family resemblance to the current models. On the other hand Hyundai and especially Kia make drastic design changes and overnight the previous model suddenly looks old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the most obvious one is kia. Just look at the sportage! 2021 vs 2022 2021 is still under mfg warranty and it looks old, but only because the new one is so drastically different in looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually test drove a Haval H6 and was really impressed believe it not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
