That one when I tested it, it seems auto scan all the stations and saved it in memory. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Not sure...tonight I go check manuals owner see how.

EDIT: The owner manual says it will automatically scan and temporarily store up to 6 stations with the strongest frequencies at your area.

Hi all, I am a newbie here and also a soon to be owner of the CX-5.

This topic may have been brought up before but I would like to know your thoughts on the torque of the 2.2D on the FWD vs AWD. I have seen a video clip on youtube by a local established car reviewer on the 2.2D FWD and his thoughts was that it causes wheelspins and torque steer, as power is now channeled onto the FWD drivetrain. Although widely noticeable when he tested the car, he also advised user to consider the AWD.

Personally i have not tested the 2.2 FWD but instead tested the 2.2 AWD and the drivetrain on acceleration is seamless. I was also told that AWD production has been postponed to later part of the year, SST would kick in by then. What was offered was the 2.2FWD for sale which there isn't a demo car available, not in my local SC at least, have called up a few but only AWD available for testing.

The lingering question is for those that are owning the 2.2FWD, are you noticing this wheelspin and torque steer? Do these problems bother you on your daily drive?

I'm quite fixed on the 2.2FWD (not much choice left vs the AWD at much later production). Thoughts?

Thanks.

Thanks @widget for the insight. I guess i wouldnt be 'pedal-happy' on daily drives either. I'm more concerned if the car is on the move and there is need to accelerate (overtaking etc) that the sudden rush of torque would give rise to the problem. Can't imagine if I have to deal with the wheelspin everytime the pedal pressed. I guess as long as the wheelspin kicks in from standstill and is expected from suddenly pressing of the pedal its acceptable. Thanks.

I too watched said reviews and was concerned.. However, after owning the FWD as a daily driver.. No such experiences.. Not even while rolling and overtake.. I've driven in the rain once and it's as Widget says.. It takes abit to master the throttle response and adjust accordingly. Once you do, it becomes a pleasure to drive around. Tires play an important part too. I'm using stock Toyo.

Auto frequency. Like hitz 92.9 in klang valley and when go to other states den automatically tune to that state frequency.

Nope, but that's what favorites are for. Scan and save frequencies.. Then you can switch back and forth.. Favorites can be rearranged in any order you prefer.

You may consider using TuneIn Radio app as workaround, suppose that you can make it work over Bluetooth/AUX/FM transmitter - sound quality is better than FM reception and you can continue to listen even when going through basements/bad reception areas. Internet data usage is minimal.

Only downside is limited radio station support - Hitz and Mix works, not sure with others as I only rotate between Hitz/Mix/BFM and Spotify/Pandora.

Not that obvious as SRC, as I've been driving my DCB since Feb this year.
Although I noticed some few paint chips here and there, my daily work commuting is almost 90 km to and fro, using DUKE and NKVE on highway speed, so paint chip is definitely non avoidable.

But I do agree that the paint layer is quite thin compared to my previous CBU 2011 KIA Sportage or my FIL's CKD 2014 Honda CR-V.

Coating only makes cleaning easier and the car looks shinier but it does not protect the paint. Only PPF does that but even with PPF, it does not 100% guarantee no stone/paint chip. Seriously if this is a global issue they should have do something about it.
