Picked up my New C5 Aircross Saturday.

I was sad to see the C4 go mind she was a pocket rocket and in the 4 and half years I had her we been on some great adventures including visiting Cornwall for the very time. Returning to South Devon after 18 years.

I would have happily kept it the full 5 years but whilst on holiday I had a good think about and with how Advance payments been I decided to change now.

I would have had another C4 but the Hybrid I wanted was nearly 4 grand which is £200 more than the Top spec New 2025 C5 Aircross.

So my options were

Have another C4 but the 1.2 130 EAT8 Max at £2499 which has less power than my 2021 155 Shine Plus and sone of the standard stuff now cost options.

have the Outgoing C5 Aircross 1.5BlueHDi EAT8 Max Edition at £2499 reduced by £500 from Q3 prices

or stretch another £500 for the New 2025 C5 Aircross 1.2 145 Hybrid in the Mid Spec Plus model.

So after speaking with my Salesman buddy that I’ve known for over 20 years I opted for the out going C5 Aircross. I had the £750 to use as well so the total including my adaptions came to £1866.

just getting used to driving the diesel now as I don’t drive the sisters one that often so the last time I regularly drove a diesel was my late brothers 2010 C4 Picasso 2.0HDi EGS6 and then his 2013 C4 1.6ë-HDi EGS6 but he died after having that one after 6 weeks so I didn’t get to drive that one for long.

 

Im sure it will all drop into place the more I drive it.

Don’t think it will be on the scheme much longer as stock getting very slim now my buddy was telling me. especially as Arnold Clark bought a load of them to sell as pre reg cars.

Think I went with the right choice. The he new model was tempting mind especially as I sat in one in the showroom but I think I will save money with the diesel too. Mind that C4 I had 70mpg out of it a few times cruising down the M5.

my favourite feature of this new car is the electric drivers seat. The seat in my C4 every couple of times getting in and out it was drop down. So would have to adjust it again then to get my driving position just how I like it.

Back in February/ March 2023 I also ordered Air cross Max, but PHEV. Sadly it didn’t arrive in June, when my lease was due, nor in July or August, so went with Mazda instead.

It was a very good looking car with a very practical boot. I think you made a right choice and will enjoy it.

 

I would consider Mazda CX 80, if it will ever come to the scheme, although I can dream…
