Looking at how all these car deals are getting over 100+ upvotes, I thought I'd do one myself (please don't flop).

A base-spec Mazda CX-5 now costs less than an entry-level version of the smaller CX-30 with a Vision Technology package.
The biggest savings is on the top-spec CX-5 Akera AWD; discount of (up to) $4,400.
The CX-5 is now about the same cost(ish) as a Kia Sportage.

*depending on where you live.

These are "temporary price reductions"; I don't know how temporary.

Edit:
Mazda also has other models on discount.
Starting from (drive-away)
CX-3: $29,990
Mazda CX-30: $35,990
Mazda 3 hatch and sedan: $32,990
Mazda 6: $37,990
CX-60: $59,990

For ABN Holders:
Select 4x2 BT-50: between $2,063 to $3,438
Select 4x4 BT-50: between $4,813 to $7,563

      By just about every metric, the Sportage is the superior buy

      I've been test driving cars the last couple of weeks and though Sportage was on my shortlist, The shiny black plastic interior looked tacky and cheap so was a deal breaker.
      The Mazda CX-60 looked and felt the best to sit in (IMO), but was too big and heavy for regular city driving. The CX5 was pretty good overall, but the engine is a little underwhelming after driving a hybrid with the off-the-line torque, that and it only has a regular sunroof and I want a full panoramic sunroof in my next car. They need a hybrid offering in this segment.
      Also tried Santa Fe (2023 not the boxy new one which I don't like the look of) is more CX-60 sized but feels lighter and easier to drive, and the hybrid works well for instant torque. My search continues…

      • educalifa on 23/06/2024 - 22:16

        yeah I'm in the same boat but looking at diesels since work will pay for fuel and I need a car that can tow… the engine on the CX-60 seems to be very decent (6cyl 3.3L TD) but the overall the car is a bit bigger than what I want.

        It's only me, my gf and the dog so that's a lot of empty car to be driving around all year!

          It's only me, my gf and the dog so that's a lot of empty car to be driving around all year!

          Similar story, I'd like a small/mid SUV with a torquey engine, and most 4cyls don't cut it unless it's hybrid to get the off-the-line torque boost.
          The Germans do this format (SQ5/ the old GLC43 - new one has gone 4cyl/X3 M40 etc)but you're paying $100k+ for the privilege.
          My ideal car would be an Ioniq5 N but with Hybrid instead of BEV. Hyundai are about to release a 2.5l turbo hybrid which could be the answer.

      1.6L turbo (80 kW/t) vs CX-5 2.5L turbo (98kW/t)

      The Kia is sluggish and lacks cornering/turning characteristics. Plus the CX-5 engine/transmission is refined whereas KIA’s long term is questionable.

      I disagree on the engine, safety, build/ride quality; Mazda is well refined and will last a long time. KIA is yet to prove itself but it’s getting there.

      • SupeNintendoChalmers on 23/06/2024 - 21:34

        Have you ever driven the Sportage?

        I have a diesel GT-Line and the 2.0l diesel pulls like a train, and its very smooth with its beautiful 8 speed auto.

        A good mate has the GT-Line in the 1.6T and despite the power to to weight ratio it requires very little revs to get going, and the DCT on the 1.6, having an extra gear means that the car doesn't need to rev as hard as the older (though decent) Mazda 6 speeder.

        No way CX-5 ride quality is better, I've had the privilege to drive the CX-5 (non turbo) for extended periods and there is no contest, the Sportage absorbs corrugations better, has less tramlining and feels more secure. That said, I dont think the CX-5 is terrible, its just old and it shows it.

        • W0tZup on 23/06/2024 - 21:54
          +3

          I’m comparing petrol with petrol. Diesel will always have more grunt on the lower revs and hybrids also improve the 0-100.

          The Kia 1.6L turbo (petrol, non hybrid) is ~10s meanwhile CX-5 2.5L turbo is 7.7s 0-100.

          I suspect your friends kia is a petrol hybrid which does 0-100 in ~8s.

          As for the DCT transmission. It’s not tuned well for this vehicle and the turbo makes it worse. It tends to want to sit at higher revs when cruising, lags, and doesn’t know which gear to engage due to the turbo and how much you push the pedal.

          Yes the CX-5 is ageing and the KIA is a good (more modern) alternative but if we’re talking about long term reliability then Mazda wins. The engines/transmission is well refined and the resale value of CX5 in Australia is one of the best.

          • Muscles on 23/06/2024 - 22:13

            @W0tZup: Although the petrol 2.5T has the torque of a diesel, including most of the power within the low end revs.
            I read the kw increases when using premium as well.
            Interesting car

          • tromboc on 24/06/2024 - 08:07

            @W0tZup: CX5 still uses a standard slushbox, when the rest of the world has moved on. It's as unrefined as a gearbox can be in 2024. I might be slightly bitter as our 2020 recently had the gearbox replaced under warranty because it blew seals and destroyed bearings…

            • SupeNintendoChalmers on 24/06/2024 - 11:07

              @tromboc: The CX5 has a decent box, would it help if it had 7 or 8 gear, of course, but its solid.

              • tromboc on 24/06/2024 - 21:28

                @SupeNintendoChalmers: It has some weird direct drive business going on which locks up the torque converter at a certain speed, it's definitely the jerkiest car I've driven around a carpark. One of its least endearing features.

        Except those who drive and want to save money. People whine about depreciation, but in reality most of that is behind and it's offset by the real word savings now. (no servicing, charging at home).
        Such an awesome feeling knowing you are going to drive round drip 300km to the country for the cost of peanuts.

        • badjazy on 24/06/2024 - 09:56

          If you want to save money EV is a terrible choice. Get an old second hand reliable car. No EV owner will ever come close in terms of saved money even with cheaper fuel.

          • UltimateAI on 24/06/2024 - 11:27

            @badjazy: Neighbour has one, costs around $10 to charge from home after a 300k trip, costs me about $60. While that's only $50 a trip, it's a massive mindset change.
            No annual servicing (yes you cay pay or get that bundled in) but also time cost.
            No brakes, slightly worse wear on Tyres, mainly due to how you drive.

              +2

              @WatchNerd: To a smaller extent because as a home gets older theres more things to break, go faulty and replace. Hence depreciation goes down in the actual value of the home. Eg. I work at a hospital that is so old and double bricked that any additions to any wiring or plumbing they are better of at knocking it down and building it brand new.

              Literally same thing as a car - older it gets the more it costs to repair and fix.

              This is a general assumption of course.

            @swiggity123: No, he is saying that because it costs considerably more to build something similar, people are willing to spend more to buy an existing house despite it being above the original cost. i.e it doesn't go down in value.

            If car costs were rising 2x every year then you'd also be able to buy a car as an investment and not lose money when you sell it… but that's not the case.

            • greatlamp on 23/06/2024 - 19:44

      Yes, if you buy a car and then immediately sell it back to the dealer you'll get 20% less.

      Now the question is, has anyone ever done this? I'm sure someone, somewhere has, but 99.999% of buyers wouldn't even contemplate it.

      I bought a new Mazda last month and plan to keep it 8 years. Like I did my previous car that I also bought new. In 8 years I really won't care what it's worth.

      adding a turbo with no other factors will reduce fuel consumption. Dunno about the vehicle you're talking about….maybe it has other stuffs in a higher state of tune = stuffing more fuel into the engine regardless of cost to get more power.
      However, if your lead foot gets the urge to drive like a bat out of hell rather than at the same speed as a non turbo model….then your fuel costs rocket. Never been a regen system on a petrol engine.
      Heavy vehicles have turbos primarily to increase efficiency, rather than power.

    The petrol variant is reliable but gutless.

    Hybrid/EV, turbo or diesel is the better choice.
