read a lot of reviews praising the rear seat spaciousness. May be your expectation is too high after reading the reviews
anyway, this is just a compact suv.

The laggy feel makes mazda gained another awards:

alot ppl also saying that but do you all know the transmision is skyactiv too
which means not like normal AT, so it need sometime to ppl use to it than only can get the point
to drive it.

Looks like you are ahead of me. Booked in Feb but only getting next week Tues. But then since my wife will be driving it, I can wait. LOL

may be cvt owner will get use to it faster.

actually it is not CVT
skyactiv transmision = AT + CVT + Dual clutch
so it diffrent from other transmision.

Where can I go for test drive this CX5 in PJ? I learnt to know that not all showroom has test drive unit.

I was thinking to test drive tomorrow. :-D

You can go to Mazda Jalan Ampang (Before Gleneagles KL). They have 1 test unit.

My dream car. dreaming......

Guys, do you realize that when you click on the parking sensor assistance button, it doesn't show it on the lcd like below

What about in PJ? Perhaps the showroom along jalan 222?

i was wondering about this also. my test drive unit's front sensor just beeps if theres any obstacles in front. thats all. no indications of distance/etc.

in terms of smoothness, cx-5 gives me the exact feeling my cvt box gives. however, as i said earlier, input to output is not direct. but it doesnt bother me from booking a unit for myself

any of the CX5 owner here realized the engine sound is so rough & loud when u start your engine 1st thing in the morning......

Somebody commented on the engine noise in Paul Tan's. You can check it out below.

Think its normal especially in cold start...when after 1-2minute warmup during idle rpm drop below 8k it will back to normal and silence.

by the way any upcoming CX5 TT?

Guys, I drove my CX-5 to Kuala Lipis and back.
Overall driving is good and I'm happy with it. Pick-up...can be a bit sluggish when I get stuck behind a truck and want to overtake.
Driving up Karak require to rev a bit but still ok for me.

On the TT..let's do 1

I saw you also very active in Sportage forum. So whats your comment on CX-5 vs Sportage?
