I juz do the booking on the 2.0 full spec AW. Grey color. Wheres the best place to do the window tinting. I stay in cheras area. Expected to get the car within 3.months.

Unfortunately 2.0 no longer come with the red color. It looks superb to me, my 2nd option is grey. Neverthesis lets see how well it can be.

Jst found out tat the free 60k km svs only comes with semi synthetic engine oil. Feel Mazda msia cutting corners with their free svs offer & its their 10k km recommended oil svs interval that worries me. Some might say i am overly concern but dont u think a 10k km oil change for semi is way too long for Malaysian weather?

A check with Mazda msia says tat i can top up RM128 if i want fully synthetic oil but tat kinda dampens d excitement of owning a cx5. Dont u think so?

Anyhow, for those still running on OEM tires (goodyear wrangler), pls throw them out or trade them in. These tires aqua-plants easily & noisy too. Yokohama and michelin latitude would be a better choice.

Bro seriously? Then i hav to tembak kau the sa. B4 i pay for the booking i purposely double confirm with him on the free service 60k will comes with fully syn oil. Apparently he juz open his big mouth for the sake of sales. (Btw i booked mine at the end of sept, sa said less than 2 mth waiting period as i opt for grey, sky blue they dont offer no more, which is not replace by another blue, not sharp enough though)

current update on my cx5 2.0 AW (dark grey)

pro:
fun to ride, after installed magic fuse pick up smooth smooth, city drive FC ofcoz higher like 14L / 100km (yes becoz i always need to climb hill otw home)
Highway drive (if u can control pedal nicely, it can go as low as 2.0L 100km (that was around 80 -90 kmh avg speed) = Avg its 7L / 100kmh i like to maintained at 120km.

con:
backseat is abit straight, well common issue.
rattling sound (on my drive side coming from the right, dunno where)
nyek nyek lower arm bush right side (can definitely hear it during raining, crossing the hum) but i have yet to complain to SC.
shell helix semi syn sux, i dislike it, even full syn shell helix 10 - 40w is better than the semi syn.


OVerall: loving the zoom zoom, yes pick up abit slower, but i am loving it becoz its Zoom Zoom!

when u mention semi is worst then fully, how bad it was?
mine use fully synthetic shell helix from start.. pickup is slower when in auto mode, try manual mode to accelerate better.. quick response in changing gear too..
*
ok i am not sure when i get the new car (what oil they r using, i assume its semi syn)
therefore

New car - semi syn ( i assumed)

1k mileage 1st service (i change to full syn 10-40w shell helix la)
performance okay, been driving it for a few trips kl-johor + 1 trip to KL-Alor Setar
Engine well response, gear also smooth, petrol saver thumbup.gif depending on how fast u drive!

7.5k mileage 2nd service (i choose back semi syn, becoz this 2 months not many outstation trips)
i. feel sluggish compare to full syn after i drive for a few days only (mayb placebo effect i dunno la, i juz feel it that way)

ii. Car shaken due to the gear drop from 2 -> 1 when u let ur car speed slow down from 30kmh -> 10kmh, i am saying slow down ar, i didnt apply brake, and i can feel the SHAKE when the gear shift to lower gear WTF? vmad.gif
yes i know there will be a slight shake when the gear switch back to 1st/2nd gear, but this time i feel stronger shake la.

iii climb hill feel lesser responsive, as i always need to climb a hill to reach my home, i need to adjust to manual shift and downshift it back to lift the speed to 50kmh; whereby previous i dont need to apply manual shift when i am using full syn, i juz need to apply my foot to adjust the pedal...
iv again, maybe placebo effect i hear my engine roaring louder in semi syn..

so i might wanna change the semi sym oil after i finish my johor trip this weekend.
