I search through the car clubs page but no CX5 Owners club here. Just thinking to start one and hope all CX5 owners can share your experience, tips and advise here!!!! I just get my CX5 3 days ago.... So far so good.

i just get the around 1 month only.... lolx

Hello.. its my mum's car.. i'm only drive a mere kancil.. as for CX-5 experience driving for long distance with full luggage at the back and 3 adult (with 2 year old kid and 1 year old baby), its favorable to driver only.. the ride quite bumpy for rear passenger, but for its handling and gbx respond is really good..
i use manual mode went uphill karak, downhill also manual mode, seriously its not like SUV handling anymore.. more like sedan (even better then my wife vios s), the FC when engaging manual mode can be higher too..
Another thing, rear reflector at bumper seem to dislocated.. somehow i manage to fix it my self, just push back from inside to outside direction..
the foglamp not helping much for night and raining time.. maybe need to use yellow bulb?
Now front tyre is left around 40-50%, my mum asked me what choice of tyre she have, she want michelin as last time she always use it and its quite good tyre, so i search its around rm1k for 225/65/17 size.. quite expensive for michelin, but other brand around rm450-600..

congrats
Cx-5 1st thread

Not so much CX-5 owner here?

Just joined the club today!

Well can only say the drive is smooth for now

congratz on ur new car bro

This is awesome. I am planning to buy CX-5 in Klang Valley. Where's the best outlet? any suggestions? thanks

anyone have any idea when then new facelift will be available? Should i get the current version instead of waiting?

saya miliki sebuah dan kuasa pemanduannya mmg mantap dan berkuasa....tetapi penyerap hentakan agak keras dan 'sporty' rasanya......

hi guyz

if front screen window crack..and want to replace...
.how much ya ?? (consider no insurance covered)

=Z=

Bought 1 for my wife last month and she's currently loving it.
Personally im not too impressed with the wind noise though

gearbox responsive? jumps too much and a little slow when engaging....except if you use Manual Mode. it's an OK drive, but not great.

I havent been driving my CX5 that much. Its a 2.0 model, high spec. But i just noticed the door didnt autolock when I drive. I couldnt find any function in the settings to set this up.
Anyone can help me on this or is it just not available.

Thank you

Auto Lock, have to be installed at GS Accessories.. as original doesn't come with this feature

Any problems with this car? Consider to get one as weekend car. Currently comparing this to the New Nissan Xtrail. So far all I heard was good fc , even on par with vios.

So many CX-5 out there yet so few post here...

Hi guys, I will be getting my new CX-5 2.0 High spec soon (hopefully by end of next week). Been going through a list of things I should do once I get it (its my first new car). Currently, there are 2 things I believe I need to sort out;

1) New tyres - read a couple of threads in here that suggests for new tyres instead of using the original tyres, helps to reduce/eliminate the sound.

2) Enhancing security - any advice of security gadget/equipment/system I should install in my vehicle?.

Appreciate if you guys could assist/advice me further. Thanks.

So nice, haha you just do your coating at SG?

2.5L FL? nice!

Or 2.5 CKD?

2.5 FL CBU...

iStop reminds me of my friends driving in Switzerland, she turn-off engine at traffic lights.

The engine restarts faster on the Mazda, and the lack of engine vibration is kinda disconcerting at first

edit: Found this http://www.myswissalps.com/car/trafficregulations

You're advised to turn off the engine when you need to wait for traffic lights, railroad crossings, etc. Sometimes this is obligatory;

Doing my 1st 1000km service at SC. Being told that if upgrade to fully synthetic engine oil need to top up ard rm 230. Wow. Actually is it necessary to go for fully synthetic oil?

i just did my first 1k service too but i just stick back to semi syn engine oil. was told that if we use fully syn, we would have to monitor n top up the engine oil every now and then.. too much hassle for me.

i do know some forumers dont mind using the stock semi syn engine oil and subsequently change it elsewhere just to keep the warranty intact.

Well of course it is not necessary, opinions may vary, read alot about users commenting not much difference in terms of power and FC while some users comment it did provide better power and FC.

semi syn je unless you have extra money to spend

I did proceed with semi synthetic only. Hope not much different.

Difference between semi and fully synthetic should be viewed in the long term.

How well the oil protects the engine, doubt there is immediate difference switching from one type of lubricant to another.

Experience servicing Kembara when it was new I noticed semi-synthetic oils breakdown and become black faster. After about a year I changed to synthetic and subsequent oil changes are a lighter brown color compared to semi-synthetic.

Driving the Kembara for 10 years liao never had engine breakdown.

Agreed just use whatever works... or if got cash to spare then use fully synthetic.

First 1k KM oil change is due next week

The Mazda obviously... tho I personally know of someone who purchased the Harrier.

The justification doesn't make sense, whatever lah as long as happy

I'm buying a new CX5 2.5L and what I'm worried is the tyre size. 225/55R19. Seems like not many shops have this tyre size. And the price is damn expensive.

Anyone has already the problem on getting the tyre?

Usually, you can go to the Tyre shop and trade in your 19" for 18" maybe need to top up slightly..

they don't keep this tyre at shop but you can book and ask the price. When they have the right tyres for you they will call you back.

its not a problem anyway. The only problem is the 'price'

Yes, very true. The price is the problem.

Have to fork out money. Any tyre shop can have 1 to 1 exchange?

My mom got her mazda 2 coated by ceramic pro. Went for the silver package. Honestly I dont think its worth it after applying it for almost 6 months, as I feel that the oleophobic coating feeling that it had right after it was applied, is now gone, meaning the coating has already wore off after half a year.

Even if you paid for 5/7/9 layers coating putting aside the price consideration, they can cut corners in the material they use and you as an average consumer wont even know

My experience was I found out that some parts of leather and the fabric was uncoated and I had to complain and get it done.

Do u maintain ur car well? always parked under hot sun?

just placed my booking last 2 weeks after so many good reviews on ceramic pro. maybe bcos it's silver package hence 3 layers doesnt really up to it's job?

Thanks for information, hope you don't mind to share information so others may benefit from your mum's experience.

What's the beading effect like now, maybe spray some water and take picture as it beads off...?

Also the cleaning regiment, is the car washed regularly etc.

Thanks for sharing and I appreciate your feedback

The car isnt parked under hot sun VERY often, as at home and at office during office hours it is parked under shaded area.

It is cleaned by wiping with light car shampoo/sometimes without, once every weekly or maximum biweekly. While if its not cleaned after a week interval, it attracts dust and dirt as usual.

The coating on windscreen however does a fantastic job during raining season like now, however I believe it can be DIY easily by purchasing hydrophobic solution for windscreen.

Of course by forking out more for gold/platinum package you get thicker coating and glossier surface, I personally feel that you'd be better off by considering alternatives. Ceramicpro has come this far today because of its great association with mazda (be it mazda 2,3,6 or CX5) facebook group and partly its successful branding.

I am sorry for this not-so-satisfactory review as we had a bad experience with ceramicpro. Maintenance wise, we were told to DIY and were given a bottle of ceramicpro SPORT solution. Once the solution is used up you have to purchase it at RM199 a bottle (this price was unofficial as of 5 months ago and was told by Ben)

Water beading picture will be uploaded tomorrow

anyone knows when is the CKD facelift 2.0L variant gonna be in town?

PM more details on the Paint coating

You've got PM !!

Will be seeing another cx 5 later for some soundproofing upgrade

Hi all, can any experienced owners recommend a good auto door lock and installer? I'm looking for one. Thanks.

hi all proud cx-5 owners. im considering of buying cx-5.

Just wondering why they didnt provide centralized door lock to the car? The
PJ branch SA said it is because of the NCAP requirement, however when i check at NCAP website, there are no statement saying about centralized locking as one of their requirement.

im considering cx-5 or honda hr-v.. based on price, hr-v is 10k cheaper, but spec wise i think cx-5 is better. maybe any proud owner of cx-5 can enlighten me with which car should i choose.

thanks in advance to all..

Hi bros,

May I know when is the exact date cx-5 2.0 facelift launching in Malaysia ? Cos the interior of FL is soooooo much nicer, I can't accept the current interior. Kindly pls let me know.

2. 150k OTR vs 172k OTR
3. No Sunroof vs Got Sunroof
4. Local assembled vs Build in Japan

Hello, I am interested to get this 2.5 CKD version, i think is value money deal.
Do you have any idea on fuel consumption versus 2.0 version, for sure it will be more, just wonder is it significant a lot?
400 units only?
Wonder when you guys buy from SC, did you get any discount? I check at SC at Penang, they say no discount, just give me 3 years free service.

Thanks
