2 minor issues with CX5
1. Spare parts and service - poorer in my area. To me, the useless i-stop and more expensive battery.
2. Resale value.

The bigger issue is, I wanted the 2.5 but hated the 19" rim.

I think got share skyactive engine info before including the engine hp/torque graft, due to skyactive engine is high compression engine it have to sacrifice low end torque to gain better hp and efficiency. That why Skyactive front end power is sluggish, once you off the 2000rpm mark above the engine is free revving.. The engine is design to save petrol in the first place, but regarding this low end torque is the only weakness of this engine.

You can view the skyactive dyno graft in it.. at 1000rpm is just around 100nm compare to conventional 4 cylinder engine (Sample below Boxer) the torque at low RPM like 1000rpm already got 150nm of torque.. Skyactive engine need to rev high for better power delivery, that why it is more suitable for highway cruising due to higher peak power..

1. Spare emm ok Mazda tends to be more exp and Service ...agree T n H much better hhaha as I was T drivers for pass 10 years....this depend on how M can improve it further hehe
2. Resale in Msia only 2 brand T n H haha sure win....but CX5 consider 1 of the highest resale if look at mudah/carlist etc.... again T n H not really high RV if you sell it in less than 2 years ahha!! Again if you wish for driving exp then skip RV requirement as lots of good T n H SUV never bring in to Msia market heheh....

Close to book a CX-5 GL .... didn't want X-Trail as father in law already have it. No doubt CVT feels smooth in X-Trail but for overall ride, Mazda still better.

Give you 2 likes..... !!
So far everytime I look at my CX5... still feel no regret .....

Thanks bro

Already bit the bullet, now the waiting game begins....

SA must charge on getting number plate (rather they are using runner)...have to do my own, even not special number....

got tier pricing:
RM510 if super urgent (means can get)
RM410 can try also
RM310 low chance
RM210 DYI at JPJ

Ya, I think all car also need to charge but some SA give u free coz they absort which also mean they reduce the rebate to you.... my case.. my SA give me all 1K (2.5L) extra rebate on top of company give 1 so I have to either pay or get free random ## hahah!!

Hi CX-5 2.0 owners, I just found my CX-5 2.0 started to develop engine knocking sound like 'tak tak tak' even after driving for 2500KM only, when I tried to pedal now it is like lack of power and I could hear some "tak tak tak" sound from the engine. My previous car could only hear this kind of sound after driving for over 100K KM. Is this due to using RON 95, or CX-5 must use RON 97 ? So far have not used RON 97 yet, should I switch to RON 97 ?
Or it is the Shell Semi Synthetic which is not that good for our engine ?

After the first service at 1000KM, it has been running nicely and smoothly until 2500KM now started to hear that sound.

Should I send it back to SC to check ?

Ron95 can use for CX-5, best is to send back to SC
