Okay, so, I’ve been driving this Mazda CX-5 SUV, the 2012 model, for a while now, and I thought I’d share my experiences. It’s been a pretty interesting ride, to say the least.
First off, I got this car because I needed something reliable. I heard good things about Mazda, you know, how they last a long time and don’t give you too much trouble. The 2012 model had the best price to performance ratio. I found a good dealer on a website for cars. I gave them a call and visited them at their shop. They offered a good leasing option, so I took it. After some days I drove to their shop to get the car.
When I first got it, I noticed the paint job. It’s… well, it’s not the toughest. I’ve already got a few scratches and chips, and it’s a bit of a bummer. And the windshield? Let’s just say it’s not the most resistant to little rocks flying up on the highway.
But, on the plus side, the car handles really well. I mean, it’s comfortable to drive. It’s got this smooth ride that I really like, especially on longer trips. And honestly, the design is pretty sleek. I’ve gotten a few compliments on it.
- Driving Experience:
It’s been pretty good. It moves well on the road, and I haven’t had any major issues with how it runs. Just the usual stuff you need to take care of, like oil changes and the such. I take good care of it and drive carefully, so it still runs like on day one.
- Interior:
The inside is comfy enough. It’s not super fancy, but it’s got everything I need. The seats are decent, and there’s enough space for my stuff. I mostly drive alone, so I do not need much space.
- Fuel:
It’s okay on gas. Not the best, not the worst. I wasn’t expecting a miracle, though. I get around 10 litres per 100 kilometers. Could be better, but could be a lot worse. It’s okay, I guess.
I’ve heard that these cars can last a long time, like 200,000 to 250,000 miles if you take care of them. I’m hoping to keep this one for a while, so I’m trying to do all the right things to maintain it. At the moment it runs like on the first day, but I only have 50,000 miles on it, so not much.
Overall, it’s been a solid car. Yeah, it’s got its quirks, like the paint and the windshield, but it’s reliable, and that’s what I was looking for. Plus, it looks good, and it’s comfortable to drive. So, yeah, that’s my two cents on the Mazda CX-5 SUV 2012. It’s been a good run so far, and I’m hoping it stays that way.
Would I recommend it?
Yeah, I think so. If you need a reliable car and you’re not too fussed about a few scratches, it’s a good choice. Just keep an eye on the mileage and take care of it, and it should last you a good while.
So there you have it, folks. My honest, no-frills take on this car. Hope it helps anyone out there looking for a used SUV. Just sharing my experience, one driver to another. Take care, and safe driving!
