Went to mazda yard just now. This car look  thousand time better than in pic. I'm so in love with the white CX-5. Got chance to sit in the car. Will upload the pics later. One more thing, it looks so much bigger compare in pic. Bigger than current CRV.

user review:
"One of my favorite things about it has got to be the gas mileage. Some automakers seems to overrate or liberally rate their EPA mpg ratings; Mazda seems to have gone conservative. Now, I bought the FWD version instead of the AWD version (FWD is rated 26/32). I've been consistently hitting around 32 mpg average for each tank of gas, and this is mixed driving; I figure I could probably hit 35 mpg with a full highway trip."

Sound crappy? Change to trailer horn... Pooonggggg!

How does it look on the road? Still no update from SA whether can get by end of this month or not... 

When you book bro?

I just spoke to a mazda sales person in penang. he said that for those early birds who booked their car, even if you have been assigned your car and VIN number you still need to wait until official launch date  (6th June) to register your car. Is that true?

A test drive yesterday really proved its worth as acclaimed. To set the stage right, I'm driving an accord 2010 2.0, thinking to shift to SUV instead bcos i find getting in or out of a sedan is getting more & more taxing on my back nowadays.

Anyways, other than the exterior & interior that u guys can check it out yourselves,  I'll just share my experience on the road handling, summary of the test as below:
1. Low end torque is slow. Trying to overtake at low gear is a drag.
2. NVH is slightly better than my accord, surprisingly. I'm using toyo CS1 225x18x45, changed all 4 doughs in Jan12.
3. Bumps absorption is also slightly better than my accord.
4. Engine sound is noisier at hi gear, above 5k rpm.
5. Steering is extremely light, somewhat close to my exHonda city 2008, with ori rims.
6. Manual gear shift is more fun as compared to paddle shift. Feels like driving an arcade race car, Daytona.
7. Didn't try the Bose sound system but navi voice was very crisp & clear. I liked the voice command as it was really accurate & helpful. It's a good workaround for the missing navi button that euro version has. Sad thing is it couldn't play DVDs. Hope it could be hacked, just like BMWs. For my kids, this is a big minus point. Also, Tom Tom doesn't seem updated or worse, impractical. It can't even recognise mid valley! SA claims it's free for life but i doubt so.

Overall, the minuses isn't a deal stopper for a big sedan owner like me to consider. In fact, personally, it's the best Asian SUV as compared to other similar class I've tested, eg Sportage, Tucson, Grand vitara, CRV & Asx. My only worry is service quality . My first mazda was back in 1994 & it was quite a nightmare...

I have booked the white but since it is fully refundable, I'll continue my search. maybe test a Chevy. Btw, i have tested x1 20d too.I'd warn u to stay away from that car. Once 'tasted' its power, you'll be addicted! Honestly, that may have already distorted my judgement onto others, like this cx5. Lol.

P/s: i too, don't think 2.3liter/100km is the right gauge or indication. We should use the average as read in the multi info display instead.

My 2cents worth.

so disappointed...not getting the car this month....

They are doing it end of the year. If the CX-5 is priced at RM 145K CKD, that's going to give CRV a serious run for its money

Not fair!!!! Hahaha...
I ned pm my sa d...
Sure he read this sakit kepala d..hahaha

I just got my Pearl White CX-5 yesterday ! Excellent and my Car salesman (Bermaz PJ) is excellent as well.

Very happy and great experience (although anything is better than my 2002 Wira 1.3). I booked in April.
