also having the same dilemma ....
really hard to justify HRV at the price of 118k which is only 8k lesser than GL spec cx5.
i just worry that when cx3 launch, they will hack the GL version of cx5. cause the price will be the same. and cx3 is a comparably smaller sized suv.
but the facelift of cx5 looks so damn nice, too bad only for 2.5L version. make me so hard to decide!!!!

i just went to the dealer yesterday to confirm that ... but the SA told me that they wont be dropping the GL version. thats good news for me. but sadly they are unable to confirm when the facelift will trickle down to the 2.0 cx5s. apaprently after the CBU 2.5 facelift are solded out, even the 2.5 model will fall back to pre-facelift version.
and the plan (according to the SA) is to update cx5 to facelift officially AFTER cx3 is launched and that could be early next year.
i was like : "WHAT!!?!?!??!!??!??"

Btw, now got merdeka promo. discount 4k for GL spec.

finally decided to buy cx5 GL spec instead, got a pretty good discount. hope that it really is better than HR-V. should be picking up the car next week or so.

yeah, really heavier and more solid. and the steering is just so nice!
but i just regret getting GL cause after i use the car i realised the electronic seats and the keyless entry is really useful. anyway whats done is done. LOL.

Btw, my first tank of petrol was ron97 and the gear shift was quick and pickup is good. but my 2nd tank is ron95 and i noticed there is a delay in gear shift. i'm not sure why but it feels a bit sluggish compared to the first tank.
i hope it is just me being overly sensitive, and i haven't done my first service yet so can't really come up with any definite conclusions.

to be honest, not only it doesn't have rear air conditioning i feel that even the front air cond vents are not positioned well to direct the air flow to the rear. the center vents are below the headunit so the position is lower.

but strangely so far my mother in law who sits at the back haven't been complaning. She is always complaining about my previous car aircond but this car dunno why she nvr complain.

btw i haven't tint my car yet. just some additonal info, the windows seems to have a light tinted color on it and it looks like it already have been tinted.

the tyre really noisy ... thats for sure. they are a lot quieter on newly paved roads tho, but on usual malaysian roads man the noise level is high. i lazy go and change tyre, so i just jack up the music volume.

tell me about it, my previous city gave me so much headaches. a bunch of my friend recently bought the new city and they all tell me the quality is good. maybe its me being bad luck.
