The dynamic 2L auto is best bang for bucks.Quick side question, what's the best bang for the buck, it seems to be the dynamic 2.0 model. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So safe to say it's a good 'deal'Also looking at that one as an upgrade to our current Active manual
So safe to say it's a good 'deal'
I mean, leather seats, the wheels, etc. The list goes on.
Taking that into consideration, the price tag between these two is quite in line, second hand of course.
I can’t see a difference between the 2020 model and the facelift 2022, which seems to be a bumper change?
Let us know if you see or notice a differenceWhen we shopped around a few years back the CX5's were the best value for money. That hasn't changed.
Our only regret has been not getting the automatic that time. If we had there would have been no need to replace it. It's been an awesome ride
We prefer the older bumper. But it's not a deal breaker. Popping off to Mazda later today to have a look around
Quick question
My wife loves the CX-5's look as well as the drive, and friends of ours own one, and they love it as well.
I'm looking around for the fun of it, but one thing bothers me, and I might be a bit over paranoid for no reason, but what's the resale like on these Mazda's?
I like both the Tiguan 2022, and Mazda CX-5, I know the VW badge sports a better resale, but if you had to drive the CX-5 for 4-5 years, would you be happy with your return value?
That's amazing!I bought the 2.2d Akera for R500k 3 years later traded it for R450k I assume they maybe moved some number around but at the end of the day it didn’t lose much.
Loving the colorA few things have changed for the carbon and akera models. The grill, more black than chrome now and the Akera has a red accent in the grill which I believe denotes it’s a turbo version. The lights are also different to the 2018 model I had previously. View attachment 1538337

Might be mistaken, but it seems a bit larger, and more vivid?Feels the same to me, this one just comes with car play so you don’t lose the on board nav doing a retro fit. The overseas models have massive displays. View attachment 1538509
