Let me see what I can come up with and hopefully community contribution will add more value.

That's not bad at all then the price! As long as you don't mind the size. Not big at all I went to see at the showroom but was disappointed by the boot space... but u get a higher sitting position and 4 wheel drive..

Ehh u already have a mazda 3 what civic will be the same segment. Go try the XV lah or wait for crv..
Just my opinion but the decision all yours..


>> no money already.  1 person loan 2 car is not easy   in fact the car is not me using   one person can not use 2 cars.    Civic 2.0 is a very very good deal

Chizzu, I dont think u should delay this any longer because you know going through this scheme is already a long winded affair. Worse if you're opting for the jap cars that could drag you a further 6-7 months (happening to me with honda right now). For all you know the 2 years may already be up!

Care to share how much you bought your Mazda 3 so that we can compile the price for future reference?

Mazda 2.0 Hatch back Metalic RM108k - i bought with upgrade to leather seat (prior to the FL come with free leather seats)

hmmmm. if only the mazda 3 with skyactiv come to Malaysia... i will consider that

Chizzu I was told by the kind manager at mazda that they are now only concentrating on mazda6 which has just launched few months ago. When this dies down then they will concentrate on the cx5 ckd version, and then maybe the skyactive cbu. We are looking at at least another year at least..

I am actually looking forward for cx5 ckd model with skyactiv engine. It's in my list together with subaru xv and crv 2013. Not really fancy crv but cx5 is quite desirable. I think cx5 is larger than subaru xv since its an SUV while xv is a crossover

Went to a couple of showroom to get more details on REP tax free prices.

VW: Passat price is 142,247.20 (146,190.40 with insurance)
Hyundai: the sales girl never heard of REP/MM2H
Peugeot: Only 6k off on all their CKD models. Reason being all their models are already sold at price without tax.

kinda disappointed with Peugeot offerings.

im sorry but, how do you get that price for passat? on the official site, its 170+k.

peugeot sold at tax free prices? that's illegal isn't it? total bollocks....but I have to say that they are pretty cheap compared to other rivals...i guess they make less profit...but sell in big numbers

Went to Mazda HQ at Glenmarie last weekend to enquite about CX-5. Tentatively the launching of the CKD version will be around June earliest. And they told me that it will knock down 10k from existing price for CKD version but from what i heard from them, there would be only 10k+ tax free exemption for CX-5 which brings down the price to around 135-140k price range.

Sigh, with that price i might as well go for Passat

Jesus Christ! Thats totally bad news because I was thinking of CX-5 as my 2nd option 

Guess I'll book the CRV 2013, since launching is expected this March,,

Why not give subaru XV a consideration? In terms or passenger legroom it win hands down if compare to cx-5 but the boot space is a bit let down since its a crossover. Furthermore subaru is famous for its AWD while the new crv and cx5 is only 2WD and you need to pay more for the AWD version.
