Sold my old F250 which had the 6T/Diesel in her. Used 11/100 around town and 12.5 towing "real " loads.
This thing uses 14-15 around town with me driving like an old woman with just me in it.
Recently got down to 11.7/100 freeway.

Bought a new freestyle bt50 and noticed the vinyl flooring warping, Mazda Darwin told me there’s no point replacing it as they are all a faulty batch and would just be as bad as the original, seriously what an answer

2018 freestyle cab tray back is only averages 14-17 ltr too the 100 ks on open road and Mazda isn't interested in fixing it to advertised litres to 100 has any one had any Luck with getting it fixed with Mazda or any other company to remap DPF

Problem from day one and it never stopped 60000 drive belt went 90000 turbo went at 150000 gearbox went so don't.

Have a 2018 Mazda BT50. New. The radio reception is very poor quality.
This may sound like a trivial first world problem but when you spend a lot of money, do a lot of driving and experience a radio that is very poor, it annoys me every time I get in the car.
Mazda has been so poor with their service follow-ups that when I buy a new vehicle next year, probably go back to Toyota. Just sick of it and the poor service.

Use car every day get to work tow boat caravan 2.8 tone find fine except for the fuel filter leaking after 4 to 5000 ks has happened twice replace filter and fine why does this happen use ryco fillters and have done on all my cars never had issues like this before has anyone else???

Baught this car after towing my caravan around AUS with my pajero no problems at all, bt50 chosen for more towing weight.
Air con crapped out, reversing lights don't work now and there's a delay in the gearbox when changing gears, I have a auto the car is OK but I'm not in love with it. I miss my pajero

Our company has a fleet of Bt50, 4x4 that we have just replaced with 2018 model from the 2015 model. All of our 2015 models economy were between 8.3- 8.6 L/100km or around 950-1000km per 75L tank.
The new model is running 10.5- 10.8L/100km or around 700km per 75L tank. Some of our new models are up to 20,000km already so it’s not a running in problem. Very happy with the rest of the vehicle, but would great if Mazda could explain why there is a 25-30% increase of fuel use, so far service sept of local dealers haven’t been helpful on this aspect. I believe engine and running all the same as 2015 model

Not a bad Ute comfy but electronics aaaaggghhhh. Bcm supposedly failed due to two way, vehicle has less than 10000km constantly surges under load before two way fitted. Talked to a few other bt50 owners locally and they all say the same thing just put up with Mazda have no clue on a fix.

2017 BT50 base model Dual Cab Chassis, 6 months down and still loving the young girl, only down fall is there is no room for panel switches for Aux items. Mazda should plan like ford and allow space for switch panel under air conditioning climate controls.

But overall if it ain’t broken don’t fix it!

Would be interested in future accessories like trialling similar suspension to fords Baja system!

Drives good, good low down grunt, handles good, very comfortable however next time i would get the automatic as the manual can be a bit hard to get smooth gear changes after a long day on site .i will buy buy another one at the drop of a hat

My 2012 bt50 single cab manual gearbox failed at 86500ks in November 2017. I got it fixed by a transmission specialist and Mazda Australia paid for all repairs. It took a bit of effort but being persistent and involving Consumer Affairs early in the process saw a good result for me and Mazda. I have a number of quality accessories on the vehicle that make it a good vehicle to own. It is a capable 4x4 and is good value for the price.

Great on long road trips cruises along nicely at 130 k's without punishing fuel economy
Plenty of room for a family inside downside to that external dimensions are also large.
Fitted canopy to secure tub. Had to upgrade tail gate handle as original could not be locked.
Overall happy with vehicle.

I have just traded my PX 1 in for a 2017 BT50 XT Auto. I have to say there are few things that I wish were done better (like plastics and underbody wiring) but for the price they are a remarkable Ute. I am super impressed with the power and the automatic transmission (previously had the manual). Yeah the fuel economy is not amazing but it’s a heavy car with 3200cc engine.

I’ve had a few little issues but all were resolved by the dealer (it pays to be nice to the crew).

I’d say people are more inclined to write a negative review than positive, so don’t be turned off. All cars have their issues.

Love my BT50!
