After owning a CX5 now for 8 months, I still have 3 niggling complaints.
1. Boot not as big as previous car
2. 10,000 km servicing
3. 55 ltr fuel tank.

Car is using approx 9ltrs per 100km in combined driving. Have had it in the low 7's when on long highway runs. So you get to about 400 - 450kms, and I like to start to look for fuel.
