I am on my second CX5 and love it. It has a solid premium feel, minimal hard plastic , only low down out of touch. I’m a big build tall person and never feel cramped and the seats are very comfortable. It has all the features you want or need for day to day enjoyable driving. The current car is my second and neither have had even a minor fault. I don’t know the mpg because, tbh, I don’t obsess about it.All I can say is it doesn’t seem bad based on 45 years of car ownership. For what you get in comparison to others and the good AP , it a great car. Come October, the way things stand, I will either try to extend it or probably end up with my 3rd as no other car appeals with size/spec/ap.
I have ended up ordering the Grandland although I still don’t feel happy. I test drove the MG and it was lively and nippy but just felt the settings for things were really basic and not as good as the other. It’s like I live how the MG drives, but love the gadget side of the Grandland, it’s really frustrating
