Ok. I will think through it first on whether waiting for 2017 CX-5 or just get the existing 2016 CX-5 and sell off my Saga FL.

If you like more stylish futuristic design and extra gadgets, wait for new CX5. If you prefer conventional solid design that is nice, go for current CX5. C-segment SUV, 2.0L is adequate to pull around as long as it has descent strong torque engine coupled with strong 6AT gearbox.

New CX5, if they could get the CKD early it should be rm145_15xk range for 2.0L. Mazda look at Malaysia as its job to cater for ASEAN market, they might bring in at faster pace.

The SUV I'm getting is more on spacious and family car. That's why I'm looking at mid size SUV as mini SUV like HRV, Subaru SV, and even Toyota upcoming CHR will not cater much for my needs. My brother in law is driving Innova 2.0 right now with 5 people in the seat. But I do not see so much issue underpower, and his FC is quite fine. His driving style is quite fine as well.
Yeah, I'm thinking the same thing. It's impossible for Mazda to have 2017 empty without any new released. Or else they will be out of market easily. I'm hoping it can arrive around Q3 2017. The timing will be just right. Extra Gadgets are nice, but you know. Tech keeps involving, nobody use USB2.0 already. Even they implemented USB3.0. 10 years down the road, USB might be even obselete. So it was just like a...... Gimmick.

But the best things of the 2017 version I saw is the improvement of the quietness during driving. They claim it was 20km/h slower in getting the noise comparing with 2016. This is something I'm looking forward, as well as the Diesel version, but I worried Malaysia Diesel is a bit.... ahem.... might spoil the car. So we will see how it goes.

Anyway, thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I will wait for the CX-5 2017 version released then I will only sell my Proton Saga FL. But this weekend I will still go for test drive at Mazda, Nissan, & Toyota. Hoping I can concrete my current decision.

Under current economy, wiser for you to take own sweet time before getting committed. Rumours of election this year end, better to have more cash than owning the bank. Good thing of getting brand new CX5 with fighter jet air intake style grille, it's brand new and the feel is different. Malaysia is Mazda hub for ASEAN market, they sure will speed things up since CX5 is hot seller in Thailand. Unlike CX9 which has low demand in ASEAN market above affordability of most people

Thailand spec cr-v already on tease and will launch end of this month .

Btw i dont think honda malaysia will fully ckd such as thailand high spec .

In fact cx-5 lead its segment sales on its entirement life in malaysia , i hope this cr-v can challenge it 🙄

Looking at new Civic and City, think honda will give more to get number 1 spot. Matsuda on the other end, when they see CRV giving full package, Matsuda will give full too. Both will clash like titans while finishing off other weaker ones.

I end up might be getting HRV instead haha. Even though I did mention Honda is out of my scope due to family reason, but seriously, getting a 1.8cc car only cost around RM102k is just a pure bargain!!

No matter how good is the car, or how good is the performance, it still lead to the last thing..... MONEY. Not because of no money getting CX-5 or Xtrail. Maybe its because I'm spending most of my time working and staying in Singapore, only weekend go back to JB. Most of the time the car will be driven by my parents. And they rarely drive to highway, mostly are just city run. So getting RM130k car is not really worth it for me. It is best save it for getting house in Singapore.  laugh.gif  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

Like I mentioned before, I change car is because of getting rid of my Proton Saga FL before it has problem. So I guess any car upgrade other than Proton is really work for me.

This weekend will be going down to Honda Showroom. Most likely I will confirm the purchase this weekend. Heck, its still a SUV, but compact version with CVT gearbox.
Not really asking into too deep regarding the content of the 7 years warranty covers. But do not expect anything spoil can be changed easily, definitely there is something that it will not be covered due to wear and tear, for example leathers. Its more on the engine, or maybe performance on the vehicle itself.

.... And the final result is.. (drumroll).... Honda HRV!!

Your post shows why many going for HRV. Have you checked the rest of the SUVs and tell me the discount?

Actually hr-v is wise choice too , with no direct rival on its 1.8 b-segment suv , another hot selling model by honda .

Cx-3 cant get good sales in malaysia with its 2.0 + stylish combo . Because ? The 130k price tag ...

Ts , why not consider subaru xv ?  Its bargain too 🙄

CX3 is so expensive that top up a bit can get C segment SUV. Surprisingly, the cx3 could sell at healthy volume & doesn't cannibalise cx5 sales. If cx3 priced at rm110k, it might beat HRV

So far only nissan and mazda. Honda will be this weekend.
Subaru resale value is really really bad.... though the price does look attractive with good rebate
Only in singapore. Cant really buy a car in sg now cause the coe paper will cost your sgd80k. Lol. Like i mentiond above. Resale value for subaru is really bad
But cx3 the cargo space is really really bad. Good for driving with couple. But not good for family.
Jb plentong u can go there have a look

If you're free, can you go try few models too? Then share the offer and discount of few brands and models here.

You're right about CX3, those who bought mostly single or couple. It's tight and cramped yet people go for it. Really good marketing there. HRV is of course more spacious and family oriented
