After four and half years of happy motoring with our Mercedes B220, and 18 months of watching new quarters pass with nothing suitable within a semi reasonable AP, the day finally arrived and we’ve ordered a new car. First time ever ordering a Mazda (CX5) and looking forward to getting it in a few weeks,

Nice – hope you enjoy your three years with it 🙂

I thoroughly enjoyed our CX5, which colour have you ordered?

Skoda Enyaq Race Blue

[Imiller9]

Deep crystal blue. Really shocked as I was fully expecting to order Soul Red, but loved the look of the blue in the sun.

I’m not a fan of red cars (other than on a Ferrari 😂) but I could make an exception for Mazda’s Soul Red. I think it’s the nicest red paint on the market.

[DumfriesDik]

Ours was Soul Red. But the blue sings as well.

Skoda Enyaq Race Blue

Took delivery of my exclusive line in machine grey last week and am so far really impressed and loving it

I’m sure you will enjoy yours when it arrives

[Imiller9]

It’s arrived, new car day is such a good day.

Congratulations. A fine car and great colour.

We hired one on our last trip abroad before disability prevented any further flying. Nov 2014. Alamo in Phoenix lets you choose any from the lot in your chosen category – a mid size suv- and there was a black CX5 amongst the usual Nissans and Fords. 10 days later, we headed west on the I 10 to Palm Springs. 276 miles. Planning to pit stop at Blythe, on the Colorado river and border with Ca, we sailed through and did it non stop. The seats were excellent, refined cruiser and handled better than any other previous SUV hires. It had Seattle plates so had racked up a long one way hire. Non stop on way back too. Been through a couple of face lifts since then and guess is even better now. Hope you enjoy every mile.

PS. The prison sign on the East bound return had multiple bullet holes!
