QUOTE(SnoWFisH @ May 18 2014, 04:02 PM) Going to test drive it here in a next few minutes haha...Anyway, the SA told me that lead time for a new order is 1 month. Mazda 5 availability is immediate however. Spare tyre found to be under the boot in the car. So far pretty good. I saw some round circles in the front of the car, are those the forward sensors? Problem is the car not that suited to short ppl, quite hard for them to see the front from the driver seat, Mazda 5 still definitely looks nicer... Which mazda centre u go?m5 got stock for display unit  |

QUOTE(ibwo @ May 23 2014, 10:49 PM) Congrats!!! From which branch? ..I booked quite sometime back. Agent keep saying coming coming. But I keep waiting waiting. Haha Is the istop effective? I ordered a centre storage box from japan which is arriving faster than the car. i-stop during stop n go traffic jam is annoying, if waiting during red traffic light then it is ok. if the car running on air conditioning , the duration of i-stop wont last long since the engine cylinder is turn off and it rely on battery to operate the equipment in the car. for best i-stop result, turn off the air cond. the restart of the i stop is pretty fast, u wont feel the delay when to move the car again.

QUOTE(pablopabla @ May 26 2014, 02:42 PM) Hi, can you elaborate a bit about what you meant by "annoying"? Do you mean that there is a delay in response if the aircond is on? I thought the i-stop function works silently with no interference with the comforts. the respond is fast, almost instantly, but u can feel the engine vibrate a bit when restart and there is a restart engine sound but not very loud. so, during stop n go traffic jam, the moment the vehicle stop, i-stop activate, engine stop, but then after 10 sec need to move again, engine restart again, for me is annoying, better off it during traffic jam  This post has been edited by ubi1kelubi: May 26 2014, 02:56 PM |

QUOTE(pablopabla @ May 26 2014, 03:16 PM) But the i-stop is meant to save fuel by shutting down the engine during a halt in movement. Is the engine vibration very apparent? Because turning off the i-stop defeats the purpose of fuel savings. not really obvious, but can feel it. maybe because i am too sensitive. |

QUOTE(ibwo @ Jun 8 2014, 05:10 PM) I have been driving biante for about 1 week plus. Very happy with the car. Very quiet and absorbing pot holes really well. I went over a hump at 50kmh accidentally and all passengers butt got lifted including mine. But the car is still quiet.. Anyone got any hidden tricks to share? How can I turn off ISTOP permanently? Every time it is auto enabled after restart. Don't like it.. it turns off even when I was parallel parking. i dont think can off permanently, istop will automatically enabled every time car is restart. |
