A good report apart from the servicing costs.
With my 2013 car first and second services were £180, and £220, although i didn't pay £220 but £175 due to the oil and filter being replaced FOC during the vacuum brake pump replacement, the reason i got rid of it at 2.5 years, failing vacuum pump can leave metal bits in the engine and destroy the two turbo's.
That year also had prematuring cam wear resulting in the same thing.
Back to the expensive serving claim, my 2015 cx-5 is on a 3 service 3 years service for £299.
Not what i call expensive.
A new 2017 model is soon to be available.
