((not gonna buy M6 for now... far reach from my pocket.. but I'm envy and admire new M6 since launching))

My SA is kind enough to send me photos regarding to the colour of my choice. Even make it side by side.
He keep on saying Soul Red is nicer.

If I were looking for a new car to buy, I would hold off till until July at the latest then decide. If it's worth waiting another year, and if I can wait, then why not. If I can't, then might as well just get now.

I think this is how I would do it.

DSG problem really make people think twice on purchase VW.
My cousin Golf TSI DSG was diagnosed to have gearbox problem, warranty claim, but this particular DSG7 is out of stock worldwide. Waited 6 months until now, haven't got his gearbox change.
Car can be drive problem free, just the annoying sound coming from gearbox could set you up.

I think only happened on certain vw models but hardly happen on passat right?

I will try to be as objective as possible

In 2012, VW sold a total of 13,000 cars in Malaysia. Taking the DSG failure rate and manufacturing failure rate into account, this number is around 0.06%. With that in mind, we assume that around 780 VW owners have experienced gearbox failures in Malaysia. It's not exact science and I have no numbers to base my figure on, so take it for what you will.

The majority of DSG failures mostly affects the Polo Tsi and Golf Tsi models. I would say, at least 70% of the DSG failures are usually experienced by Golf and Polo owners based on what I've read online. The remaining 30% is probably comes from Golf GTI, Jetta, Passat, CC, Sharan, Touran, Tiguan, Toureg models etc combined. Taking all that into account, the actual number of failures experienced by Passat owners, probably won't amount to more than 50 nos?

I went with this line of thought last year when I bought my car. How likely was I to experience DSG trouble based on those numbers? In the end, it wasn't even worth worrying, particularly since I wasn't buying a Golf or Polo TSI

Now, based on personal experience from my test drive:

I would buy the Mazda 2.0L over the Passat for the following reasons:

1. It's cheaper to buy
2. 3 years free maintenance means you don't pay a single cent when you head into the service center
3. It's well put together, no obvious rattles when over rough roads
4. Better kitted
5. More striking and beautiful design. Very eye catching
6. No DSG jerks at low speed (but this will improve over time because the DSG gearbox is adaptive to your driving style)
7. The leather seats feels more comfortable
8. No issue with gearbox reliability
9. No need to personally check engine oil levels every 5000km, oil top up may be necessary (but not all owners experience this, some never ever need to top up their engine oil)

In addition to the 2.0, the 2.5 over the Passat Sport for the following reason:

1. Better safety with i-activesense

I would buy the Passat over Mazda for the following reasons:

1. Spirited engine with silky smooth gear transition
2. Better drive feel
3. Timeless (but boring) exterior design that grows on you, years from now, the car would not look outdated because of its mundane look.
4. True continental car feel. The Mazda is no continental, it's a good imitation at best.
5. Better Badge name (IMO).
6. Spare tire in trunk instead of tire repair kit
7. Bigger boot

In additional to the TSI, I would choose the Passat Sport over the 2.5L Mazda for the following reasons:

1. Adjustable suspension (Not sure if this is correct)
2. Cheaper tire replacement cost

For less practical reasons, I would choose the CC over the Passat or Mazda 6 because:

1. It looks classier than both the Passat and the Mazda 6 (personal opinion).

Personal experience so far is my car has not given me any problem. The engine feels restrained, it's like there's power there but they've programmed the car to be more restrained and demure. There are some rattling issues but everything else is just fine with me.

Bro, go test drive first. Then decide how much you like the car. Personally, I like the Mazda 6, but the pricing is really >_<

In my opinion:
If they sold the 2.0L at 153k ~ 155k or so, then I think it would be in a good position. Similarly, 2.5L if it was sold in the 175k range, it would just nice.

Just comparing the 2.0L only, I feel that the CX5 looks like a better bargain compared to the M6 Skyactiv 2.0L on paper. Everything is all in, it even has HID as well compared to the Mazda 6 2.0L

No issues with the Mazda 6 2.5L except for its price.

i will bro..
cx5 waiting list my SA said 1 year (back september 2012 when i book my m6). i dont know wether its true or bluffing.. then i just forget about it hoping that the M6 specs should be the same.. since then, i have no feeling of CX5.. nway, its an SUV.. i dont like it..

about the pricing, im planning to get it without insurance pricing, as my sister will help with the insurance  . thus i can get it for RM 155k bro..   

sht la.. WHOS THAT VIP??       
i THOUGH blu3 is the first BOOKER?
