Anyone have corrosion reported their brake discs. I think the dealership is trying their luck.

Not sure about this case, but I've found that with my Nissan and my wife's Renault, the dealership always tries their luck with brake disks, pads, and wiper blades.

Yeah, what I find strange is that the discs they are reporting corrosion on are the same set that I had replaced by them exactly a year ago.

Yes, it happened to mine. The dealership will charge you an arm and a leg though. I had mine skimmed at a local shop and it was like R1k less than the dealership would have charged to do the same thing.
 
Mazda CX-5 range to be trimmed: no more manual, diesel or AWD

South Africa’s popular Mazda CX-5 range will soon be reduced to a trio of FWD derivatives, with both the 2.2-litre turbodiesel engine and 2.5-litre petrol mill set to be axed, along with the manual gearbox…

The Mazda CX-5 range will soon no longer comprise 6 derivatives in South Africa, with the Japanese firm’s local division set to cut the line-up in half, according to Cars.co.za sources. As a reminder, the Mazda3 range was handed a similar treatment in August 2023.

So, the soon-to-be-rationalised CX-5 portfolio – which will also likely gain a smattering of minor updates – will thus number just 3 variants, each powered by the familiar naturally aspirated 2.0-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine. This 121 kW/213 Nm motor will drive the front wheels via a 6-speed automatic transmission as standard.

Yes, that means both the CX-5 2.5 AWD Individual (143 kW/258 Nm) and the CX-5 2.2DE AWD Akera (140 kW/450 Nm) – which were positioned at the top of the local range – will soon be put out to pasture. In addition, our information suggests the entry-level CX-5 2.0 Active with its 6-speed manual gearbox will be discontinued, too.

At the same time, the entry point to new CX-5 ownership will rise from outgoing manual model’s R524 600 to R551 000 for the updated CX-5 2.0 Active 6AT. Next up will be the CX-5 2.0 Dynamic 6AT (R586 500), with the CX-5 2.0 Carbon Edition 6AT set to graduate to the summit of the line-up at R664 800.

For the record, the soon-to-depart CX-5 2.5 AWD Individual is currently priced at R742 300, with the CX-5 2.2DE AWD Akera pegged at R778 700. While Mazda Southern Africa hasn’t yet revealed why these derivatives are on the chopping block, it’s worth noting their retirements will afford the CX-60 line-up with a little more breathing room (the CX-60 2.5 Dynamic starts at R739 800 and the CX-60 2.5 AWD Individual at R844 500, with the CX-60 3.3D AWD Takumi sitting at R1 049 200).

How much does the Mazda CX-5 cost in South Africa?

Mazda CX-5 2.0 Active 6AT – R551 000

Mazda CX-5 2.0 Dynamic 6AT – R586 500

Mazda CX-5 2.0 Carbon Edition 6AT – R664 800

A 3-year/unlimited kilometre warranty and a service plan of the same duration will likely again ship standard.

Latest update on how your CX-5 is treating you?

Got a set of front Wipers for our CX-5 yesterday and had to buy them at the dealership for R715 as there is stock issues at GW for over a month now.
