On parts, compare always w/ Golden Isuzu(Mike Chan +639178312476). He's pretty active in Mazda groups.

Great thing about Mazdas 2014up is its global architecture platform. My go-to US site is tascaparts.

Hi everyone!

Just got a 2nd hand 2015 CX-5 and I am expecting that the battery will need to be changed soon. May I know what battery do you use and how’s the performance?

I think mine currently has a Motolite Excel installed, anybody using this too and would you suggest that I just install the same?

I manually disable the i-Stop feature before each drive.

Also, do battery dealers know how to deal with the i-Stop feature reset upon battery replacement? I’ve been reading some posts about it, but I am not confident doing it on my own.

Thanks!

I only have a 1.5 Mazda 3 so no istop. Other members in the club who have istop swear by Amaron.

Hi sir, are these only sold in casa? Or do i have options to buy from outside sellers (including install and whatever i-Stop system setup that needs to be done)? Expensive daw kasi sa casa. Btw, mine has the 2.0 engine and I dont use i-Stop. Thanks!

These are available outside. No need to get from casa.

Looking at the FB Marketplace pages, it seems used 2020 and up CX-5's, CX-8's, and CX-9's are priced quite closely together (1.3M to 1.5M). Might be a better deal than buying a brand new PPV-type SUV.

when used vehicles are being sold with similar pricing,
when their price differences were more pronounced when new,
i ask, "why?"
is it the expected trend among used crs?
or is there something else, that causes the price difference to be smaller, vis a vis, brand new prices' difference?

Most people who buy used vehicles are on a budget ... that's why they're not buying brand new ... so higher end models tend to have lower percentage resale value ... like Honda City vs Honda Civic vs Honda Accord ... also consider that most higher model vehicles have larger engines which consume more fuel and require more maintenance ... not what budget conscious buyers are looking for ... more prevalent if it's a niche brand ... unless it's a Toyota ...
