Just starting looking for a replacement for my current car and this popped up.

Anyone got one? Will be for a family of 4 (2 kids under 4). Mainly used for 10 mile each way trip to work with longer trips (150 miles each way) quite regularly.

Looks like it could be ideal and has a great spec for the price. So, has anyone got one?

Probably go for the SE-Lux Nav with the 2.2l D 150ps engine as currently have full leather and it's much more kid friendly..

After years of Mazda 6's I tried a CX5 and was completely underwhelmed with it. You seemed to sit on it rather than in it, it leaned and scrubbed the tyres on a roundabout. For 175bhp it also seemed slow. I desperately wanted to like it but it did nothing for me. It's also very high off the ground compared to others if you're trying to get a bike on the roof. Ended up getting a Qashqai Tekna which is everything I hoped the Mazda would be although it's probably a bit smaller with less boot capacity but fine for my needs and probably not up to Mazda build quality standards.

10 mile journeys? Petrol may be a better option

It'll be brand new so warranty nothing's like DPF won't be an issue. Will only keep it 3 years max..
