Around 2.39% but risky...

I share the same views too. The 0% GST makes up more than 50% off the bank total interest.

Got my DC Blue this week and it's interesting to have seen five same colour CX-5s during this period. Previously, not so many.

After much thought, PPS and coating is out. I've decided to have it waxed/buffed every three months as a way to upkeep it from tar/whirls as opposed to heftier visits to the coating center even if not as often as waxing it.

Importantly, we live in a country where road conditions and driving behaviour would result to unavoidable bumps, chips and dents. Hence, post-respraying the affected section would still require recoating it (Gtechniq gave the estimated cost of RM250). Plus, the coating of the damaged section needs to be sanded off for the paint to effectively adhere to.

As for tint, I'm contemplating tinting the front windscreen only + Groovy shades for the rest. At least the shades are removable, to cater to change in interior scenery from time to time. Just a lifestyle preference.

As for the first week of ownership experience itself, two out of four doors need their closing latch recalibrated during the upcoming first SC visit. The doors require harder force to close.

As for the MZD display, setting the brightness to Auto does not work. It is still bright as Day, during night time drives.

Question: Can someone recommend a good car waxing centre in Klang Valley please?

I believed Seremban dealer has ready stock for DCB 2.2 Fwd.
Check CX-5 FB group

Kepong KL is branch not dealer right?
So good that you have a SA willing to tell you about the duration, sadly mine won't do that.
Yes..I'm waiting for that call me too.

Anyway has experienced buying from Kepong or Batu cave dealer ? Which shop is more trustworthy when it comes to commitment ?
As do not want end of the day sa promise by verbal that Car will be delivered next month just to get sales. If so will walk away to avoid time wasting for both.

I bought from Kepong SA. He delivered it on time for me. Also always keep me updated. Want me to recommend to you?

Ah.. I too plan to replace just the front. From my pics, can see I've already got magnetic shades up.. Gives the privacy & extra shade we want without the hassle. Easy to apply and remove if approaching roadblock.. .. Also couldn't agree more with our weather and driving conditions.. Previous car had at least 4 hit & run swipes.. I'm forever in fear of being hit by bad motorcyclists and most tighter than norm roads, I have had to resort to blocking one side (usually the left), giving more space and forcing riders to pass the driver's side instead. Stone chips are inevitable for even occasional highway driving and coatings are no protection against such. So IMO where protection is concerned, it's either a full wrap or PPF or nothing at all. I got Meguiar's & Turtle Wax products.. Products claims to last a full year, but with out weather.. i expect it to last minimum 6 months.. So just redo bi-annually. Get shine and some protection as well.. if have to bang out or respray a panel.. Just reapply the coating on that panel again.. Easy. In a couple years, can change color to Soul Red Crystal..

Yeah, I noticed the MZD display isn't affected by the auto setting.. Thought I wasn't setting it right and resorted to manual setting. Found a sweet spot. Hey, does the your dash displays (RPM, Speedo, lcd) dim and brigthen when you turn the stalk? Seems like mine doesn't. or perhaps its cuz MZD connect display is on auto?

My second tank fuel consumption. 100% city drive.
I think I will go for coating. Don't want to spend on polishing which quite expensive too.

Attached thumbnail(s)

The dash display dims when the stalk is turned regardless of the MZD display setting (Auto/Day/Night).

As for the MZD display, setting it to Auto allows the brightness to be tuned accordingly to the dash display when the stalk is adjusted. Setting it to Day or Night will just lock the brightness in that setting regardless how you set the dash display.

Not sure if it’s of any helps or not, but pls switch on the headlight first before you adjust the brightness display.

Okay, will try this again.

Hypercoat or waxson. They used proper meguiare product. You can Google their address

Then if that is true then i need tekan my SA!! Muahahaha.

Eh, to all existing owners where do you guys do your wax/polish in Klang Valley? Got budget options other than self wax/polish?

Also, where do you guys wash ur car? Self wash? My nearby place charge 20 bucks for vacuum and wash. Was thinking if there's a cheaper place.

Bro,
Mind to share where do you do all this? Power boot sounds good for this CX5

You can find “Jack Lieu” in FB page. His power boot quality look very good compare with other seller especially the closing moment. Price, abit costly but janji mantap. Looking forward to meet him once i get my car.
