I would also go for the XC60 if I have the moolah...but sadly I don't so I went to the next best which is CX-5:lol:

Haha...I don't believe you all have to eat maggi mee till die just for XC60.

Just that, not now...near future maybe.

haha.. same here.. CX-5 was the next obvious best (after much fighting others who told me to get the CRV)... No worries, can trade-in in future for the XC60. Hopefully, it'll be more reliable and easy (read cheaper) to maintain in Malaysia. Maybe achieve full level 4/5 autonomy..

Hey hey...Don't play play with CX-5

One of the World Car Of The Year Top Three Finalists..

Well being continental..definitely won't be easy and cheap to maintain CRV is definitely on par with CX-5 but I don't really like the interior and exterior design so I ended up with CX-5

You have a point.. Next time I see or park beside a Range Rover.. I'll be like.. Meh!.. Same je..

Though I must commend H on making significant upgrades in materials looks and feels compared to the G4.. Back then, we took one look at the G4 and went.. Nope!.. But yeah, in the end.. SO didn't like the CRV either.. no emo appeals at all..

AA and CarPlay coming August 6..and it cost 349 Euro..only so cheap

source

349 euro? Fuuuu that's like over 1k for us!!

I wonder if we don't need the Apple Car Play but just the Android Auto, do we still need the hardware upgrade? Hmm..

Quote from a post from source..

From this press release i understand that :
Any new car or a retro fitted car will only have CP. If you want AA you have to pay some more. In other words if i have in my family iphones and android phones , i need extra hardware/software. Please correct me if i am wrong. I expected that that this will be a universal solution....

Suggests that we currently have CP but hidden? Like how AA is but requires more work to get working than the USB method before. I wound't need CP.. AA is superior and works just fine for my needs. But I'll assume that they'll both come hand-in-hand. Else Apple users will rage too.

Good news, it is coming!
Bad news, 349 Euro?! Seriously?!

Yes...time for our CX-5 hackerman to do his exploring..

But seriously how come Android's AA requires more instead of Apple's CP? Usually it's the other way around

Btw, currently the hardware already supports AA but it requires a bit of hack work but that's the software part. Meaning officially they could just updates the firmware for us to enable the AA without the hardware upgrade part

Knowing Bermaz and Mazda, they are gonna be money suckers so they will probably gonna force everyone to pay for the hardware upgrade

I thought that too.. Google's the more generous and less demanding type and I'm sure they want AA in every car possible cuz they love our data.

By right, they should be able to do this.. Cuz if some good folks can pull it out, impossible that their tech-heads aren't able to do the same and even better with less hassle. Instead they locked down the firmware even more to prevent us from accessing it. So yeah, knowing our handlers here.. Sure want to squeeze water out of rock in desert and that is after selling you the rock.. I'll wait for it cuz it'll be official and shouldn't disturb warranty in anyway. That more important to me than installing non-plug and play components.

Mazda taiwan just launched 2019 CX5 with apple CarPlay..envy nia
CX5 Taiwan

Good news guys! for those who booked before 1 Sept but delivered after.

‘We’ll absorb SST if cars booked before Sept 1 but delivered after that’

https://www.thestar.com.my/news/nation/2018...red-after-that/

we always pay premium price to get lower specced cars

sorry, apparently i'm a serow poke...
Edit: apparently no need to pay for SST when we buy new cars, going forward, just announced by MOF.
