I test drive both and cx5 too. Well in conclusion for me, love cx5 design hate the space, love crv interior and for Xtrail, love the interior, space of 5+2.

I still hope for the maintenance free like maybe 2 years? Like currently Nissan Serena Hubrid offer 2 years.

a lot of plastic.

Elaborate? As in?

CX5 is a SUV for the driver rather than passenger.
CRV is good in all aspect with its track record. No doubt.
As for the X Trail, majority love its 5+2 seats. If you have 2-3 small kids, and go out with parents on weekend, X Trail is indeed a good option. Not so bulky compare to MPV and look younger and sportier in SUV.

typically, more discount or freebies during Hari raya promotion, worth the wait if you are not in hurry

Exactly! I have a 2 years old kids and another one coming 1 years. The extra seat really come in handy. When balik kampung my kids can seat behind when they are older and my parent or in law can seat 2nd row.
Yup, waiting for raya promo now

This is the current maintenance cost my SA posted for your guys reference.

- definitely worth the wait bro

Normally when will the raya promo out? But I heard they said after raya promo is even better as it is a "dry" season.

Bro adrian & reddoxxvi, what model and colour would you choose? Mine is 2.0 white

- yeah, once the festive season is over, then more rebates i believe will be thrown out.

- i'm interested in getting either of these 3 colors ; white, blue or silver as the shah alam SA told me that for black and green the stock wont be as much as the rest ( got some waiting period )

RM63.60 for Leaf service. And you don't even have to use any petrol too. Win win.

I don't know about you guys, but when I looked at the + 2 seats they are really really small and I don't think anyone would put their kids there. the seats are positioned above the back wheel arc. Making the floor pan for the back seat really high. Putting anyone back there with the car full would be rather cluster phobic.

just my 2 cents. They should have made it a proper seat.

Your kid complaint to you how uncomfortable the 3rd row is? Mind to know how old is your kid?

my 5 and 3 years old kids like to sit at the 3rd row....well, 3rd row is meant for small kid, not even for teenager....

Of course not for long journey. Lie go out dinner when balik kampung with parent will do. Kids love to play. Won't complaint. Haha

Eh same lah! White 2.0 too. Haha. How is the car? Is the ADAD system help much? What warning can it show etc? Any other good function in the ADAD? I am thinking to upgrade the navi screen too. And also vkool elite

So should wait for raya promo or after raya promo? I am not in hurry. Duno raya promo if better or after raya. Later miss chance raya promo rugi

What is the raya promo?

try the new teana... it runs much better then then x-traill with 6 airbags

Teana is sedan. We are talking on SUV. Zzz

ADAD shows:
1) Fuel economy when accelerate
2) Chasis control for engine auto break & traction control
3) Warning : door, fuel, airbag, key detection (when key is not detecable within range)
4) Audio info
5) Setting for driver assistance, clock, meter setting, vehicle setting, maintenance, alarm (temperature, timer & phone)
6) trip info, timer, avg speed and range to empty tank

personally, i like the chasis control where invidual break will apply at different magnitude during sharp cornering to ensure you remain on the same lane and bumpy road for comfort purpose.

The all view monitor is the coolest thing that i love the most, very helpful when you park your car or pass through an alley or even cliff? Hahaha....

the navi set cost RM3.8k (during my time, now not sure) is not worth the money..but i upgrade the original fabric seat (that time no RM1 deal for leather seat) and tint it with llumar diamond 6
