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

    Are you better off going through Motor Scout? I used them to knock $4k off the price of a CX9 last year.

    I aleady signed but the dealer agreed to knock $2k off (meet halfway because they said that they'd keep the $2k deposit anyway if I go to another dealer 🤷‍♂️).

    Wiper alignment issues, jittering when closing. Infotainment system and reverse camera randomly crashing. CX9 2023 model. No fixes. Yay.

    Toyota for reliability. Mazda for bang for buck.

    • Lord Ra on 24/06/2024 - 18:34

      But that was possibly cos CX9 was being discontinued?

        Yeah. Some people bailed on their CX9 orders in April 2023 and went for CX90 instead (arrived September 2023?). This left some new CX9's enroute to Australia and at dealerships without owners. Dealers still quoting full RRP ("That's the best we can do."). Moter Scout got three quotes for $4k less from local dealers.

    Long post, but maybe this will help somebody.

    We bought a 2024 Maxx Sport about 3 months ago, after we found out that my wife was pregnant with our first child. We pretty much test drove all the mainstream mid-size SUV options and at the end settled on the Mazda, which we paid about $41k for after negotiations. Here is why:

    Kia Sportage/ Hyundai Tucson:

    At first we really, really liked the Sportage. That wrap around double screen looks premium as hell (like a Mercedes!) and the exterior with those boomerang headlights are cool as well. It's also a decently roomy car and we thought it was reasonably priced. However, when we test drove the actual car, we were very disappointed. We tried all 3 engine options (1.6L Turbo, 2L NA, Diesel). The 2L NA was very underpowered, it would struggle on even a slight hill, and I remember thinking how it would wake up the baby with that noise. The 1.6L Turbo was somehow worst. The turbo lag was so horrible we were getting carsick just by driving around. The Kia rep admitted they would not recommend the turbo option. The Diesel was quite good, however it was also a lot more expensive (from memory about $10k more) which made it less of a deal. My wife and I both agreed that while Korean cars (The Hyundai Tucson uses the same drivetrain, so basically the same car with a different skin and a worse interior) are flashy on the outside, they do not do the basics of a car well enough.

    Honda CR-V:

    At the time the new CR-V wasn’t out yet, so we tested the older version. It felt small and outdated but was otherwise an ok car, definitely drove better than the Korean models. Our friends got the new CR-V not long after us, which we tried for a little. The new CR-V is much better and in hindsight we would have had a hard time deciding between this and the Mazda. I personally dislike CVTs and my wife dislikes that knob thing on the infotainment screen (makes it look like an old radio) but these are just nitpicks. Good warranty and servicing costs though too. Hybrid version is unreasonably expensive though, probably $8-10k more than a RAV 4 hybrid.

    Subaru Forester:

    We don’t go off-roading too much and the interior is outdated. Plus I worry about the long term problems with a boxer engine. So we never seriously considered it.

    Nissan X-trail:

    We also quite liked the X-trail, and the autonomous driving features were impressive for a Japanese car. However you need to go up to the second trim to get most of those features, and from memory it was quite a jump from the base model, which represented a big enough price gap between this and the Mazda for us.

    Mitsubishi Outlander/ Haval H6/VW Tiguan:

    We used to hire the Outlander from Avis and Budget quite a bit. To us the car has no real strengths and weaknesses. But we hated the idea of driving a quintessential rental car, so we never considered it.
    We are unsure about Chinese cars (mostly their resale values) so also didn’t consider the H6. But I have friends who bought it and haven’t heard any complaints yet.
    I have had European cars up to this point so don’t want a Euro SUV, especially a VW. If I am taking on the risk of expensive services and repairs, I am doing it for the fun of a BMW and the luxury of an MB, not a VW.

    Toyota RAV4:

    Like the rest of Australia, a Hybrid RAV4 Cruiser would have been our top pick. However we did not want to wait 2 years for a car (we need one for the new baby!) and didn’t like the idea of not being able to lock in the price. (I will have to pay for the price of the car at the time of delivery, not the time of putting down the deposit) Alternatively, we test drove the 2L petrol version the of RAV 4. There is a lot to like, the Toyota name, the space (the boot for example is 100L bigger than the Mazda CX-5), the features (e.g. front parking sensor comes standard to the RAV 4, but not the Mazda even at the Maxx Sport trim that we bought), etc. However, the 2L NA engine definitely feels underpowered for a car of this size. We also heard that they would be discontinuing the petrol RAV4s soon, so we worry about its resale value.

    Mazda CX-5:

    For our needs, the CX-5 turned out to be the best option for us. After 3 months, our thoughts are:

    Pros:

    • We love the exterior and the interior
    • For $41k, it’s cheaper than almost all its competitors
    • The 2.5L NA engine on the Maxx Sport is powerful enough for everything and not as thirsty as the 2.5L Turbo
    • It’s actually a fun car to drive
    • Heads-up display at this price
    • Wireless Carplay and Android Auto are handy, and we love the Traffic sign recognition feature
    • Safety features come standard (emergency braking, lane assists)
    • Drives like a small car, which is great for city driving/ parking
    • For us the backseats are big enough and comfortable enough (I am 175cm)

    Cons:

    • IRL we are getting an average of 8.5L/100km, so quite thirsty
    • No front parking sensor (yes I know, this should be standard even in the base models)
    • Boot space is noticeably smaller than its competitors (we brought the pram and in truth, we can make do. I know people who put their kids in Sedans/ Hatchbacks. And if we go on road trips, * we can get a pod on the roof which adds another ~200L)
    • Services are more expensive than some other brands
    • Warranty is shorter than some other brands
    • No Hybrid option

    Overall, we are loving our CX-5, and would recommend anyone to consider it as long as you are happy with the boot space. With this EOFY sale, I am sure you can get the Maxx Sport for under $40k if you play your cards right. Do some legworks and get quotes from multiple dealers. Try asking for addons (e.g. carpets, free services, accessories) as a negotiating strategy.

      How about Pajero Sport

  • teddiebear on 27/06/2024 - 13:15

    Wait wait wait…. How is a ICE car getting more votes than a Tesla!? LMAO!!! (In case you're wondering, i'm not a fan of tesla)
    It's good to see a affordable car advertised at a realistic price. Good deal imo 😊

    • Lord Ra on 27/06/2024 - 13:37

      Thanks mate!

      I saw the Tesla deal and posted this in the hopes it would get to a 100.

      Safe to say, it exceeded expectations! Thanks for th upvote.

  • Brianqpr on 30/06/2024 - 09:05

    Bought a CX 30 last week. Great car and perfect for our needs.

    Got a better than expected trade in deal for our old car too. It had some damage (which would have made it a PITA to sell privately) which I was quoted about 2k to repair and rego was due in a few days so avoided having to pay that.

    Negotiated a dealer down to 35k with the basic extras included (seat covers/ floor matts). Thoughts on whether this is a decent price?

  • arctan on 31/07/2024 - 19:52

    Is the vision pack recommended for CX-30?

  • PriceSensitive on 31/07/2024 - 21:20

    2.0L engine on the base model. Will this be enough for overtaking with an SUV weighing in excess of 1,600kg?

    • Lord Ra on 31/07/2024 - 22:09

      Test drive should tell you that.
