Hi Guys, I'm having headache deciding my next SUV. Currently I have narrowed it down to these 3/ What I understand is

Nissan X trail, spacious compare the other 2.
Just release new version on 2016
clip gear mechanism. ( for overtaking purpose )
Reduce noise at high speed
7 seaters
Good Parking System

Mazda CX-5
Better FC compare with the other 2
Have better engine performace ( Speed )

Guys any advice on this as this Saturday I will be going down to these showroom for test drive

advise? test drive all, pick the one you fancy most.

avoid rav4

X-trail if not mistaken only comes with 2 airbags

CX-5 is Car of The Year 2016...with 6 airbags, advise is to get 2.5L variant, or wait for 2017 model


at the end of the day...it's your own wallet so...

i'd go for x trail. cx-5 new model launched in Japan but not yet arrive in M'sia

CR-V will launch soon. Turbo. spacious & good FC. Plz wait a while..

2.5l is too much for my current usage. I do not need 2.5l for driving city or highway. It seems like 2.0 will be just nice for me.

Is there any news when will the new CX-5 released? Is it facelift version? Cause I have finished paying loan for my old saga fl. I need to sell it off before the selling price drop as the new saga model has released.

Honda and Korean Car are not in my Radar.. It is due to family preference hahaaha

Buy 2.5ltr version for such big and heavy cars. The 2.0 are all under powered/very sluggish. For CX5 also better wait, coz if not mistaken the new one will be released soon.

Agree on 2.5

If really can , the. 2.2 diesel is an amazing engine

trust me...2.0L is sluggish compared to 2.5L, highway is better to drive 2.5L or 2.2L diesel

latest news is by Q4 this year will launch new CX-5...not only facelift but also new engines

throw in the new subaru forester as well...

go test drive one

forester slightly more expensive than XV...can consider XV as well but the appearance is not as attractive as CX-5

if ts can afford it, and can tahan the forrester's looks.... give this a try, its very well speed...

XV is slightly smaller...or should i say it falls into HRV category....

talking bout xtrail, cx-5,crv...the forester is in this size category.... (including those korean suv also)

but the santa-fe tebo diesel 6at is very nice to drive and sit inside

Hm... I maybe can consider waiting this new model released. But I heard that the price will be hiked by another 10k to 20k. Not sure whether it is true or not

it is not easy to get cheap spare parts for Subaru right? Cause Subaru is kinda rare in the market.

straight to the point here, dont expect to get cheap parts from mazda or nissan either. mazda being the most exp of the lot.

I saw toyota rav4 in the option .
Not much grey importer take the latest gen rav4 into malaysia due to the price similiar than harrier .

Ts want to buy used or new car ?

correct me if i am wrong...subaru technical support is kinda lacking compared to mazda in msia ?

Actually Nissan is still fine for getting spare parts in Malaysia. Cause I myself have Almera as well. XD. Mazda wise, I'm not sure. Subaru is really hard to get in JB.

I want to get new car. I myself do not really trust second hand car. Are they no longer release new RAV version?

I think so, at least there are few service centre in Johor compare with Subaru.

Well I do not mind using my Proton Saga for another year just to wait new Mazda CX-5. I heard that it will only be released next year. Just that my Proton is almost reaching the time where I need to change my timing belt. :S
