I am a longtime Mazda driver who still owns the Mazda5 and love the look of the Mazda CX5. My only reservation is the mileage. 80% of my driving in the city, and Hybrid models provide much more potential savings.(24 mpg vs 42 mpg). Planning to drive around 6-8 thousand a year. Looks like Hybrid technologies are the way to go. I can get Mazda at a discount today but there is a dealer markup and wait time for hybrid Kia. Want to hear some expert opinions here. Thanks.

    I drive 25k a year and drive a 5.0 GT. Luckily I get 30MPG highway and that’s 90% of my miles because at 77k miles my breaks are almost new.

    Definitely looking to get myself a Mazda something next year because gas costs are KILLING me

      In the U.S., it is hard not to get a Mazda without a 2.5L engine and AWD. So great gas mileage is not really a thing anymore until Mazda comes out with its hybrids in the lower end models.

      I was hoping to wait two more years before buying my next car and get a Mazda hybrid in a CX-5 size. Blew my mind that a RAV4 Hybrid can get 40 mpg on the highway.
