QUOTE(Yellow lemon @ Aug 21 2017, 04:08 PM) hey bro, im considering the Blue too.. nice colour.. but my comment on noise and bumpy ride is true.. frankly. i have tried 3 times in different showroom.. any SC here sorry ya.. hahaha... need to really knowing a car 1st before commit. i just comparing with CX5, & Forester only.. both cabin is quiet and less bumpy than CRV. and price is so much cheaper~ im just comparing the cabin noise level and comfort level... Sounds like you found your answers

QUOTE(Yellow lemon @ Aug 21 2017, 06:07 PM) i was hopping someone will tell me, may be the tire too full of air that the pumby..  too like this CRV. but hate the pumby ride  I'd think that by now, the test drive cars would have been on the roads enough times such that the tires have settled down somewhat? I didn't think it was bumpy at all but probably different people have different feel.

New Mazda CX-5 ! edit: go paultan dot org to read; don't know why LYN don't allow links now?
I find it interesting that their lowest end car, 2.0L is RM155K. And the design was basically same as previous model with some slight changes. How are they going to compete with CR-V or is Mazda the leading brand now in Malaysia vs Honda?

QUOTE(kianwee @ Aug 22 2017, 09:18 AM) They consider themselves as the "premium" japanese. Look at all their car prices you'll know. Especially the puny CX-3 at that ridiculous price. I wouldn't buy any of Mazda cars, interior too cramp for me compared to equivalent competitors. I was considering a CX-5 and a 2016 CR-V about a few months ago. Then the old-age thinking of Honda being a better brand and stronger SUV win the day which swayed me towards the CR-V. Then the new design of the 2017 made it a no brainer. And I was shocked to see that the answer to the new CR-V was a more expensive, slightly different CX-5. I think Mazda going to face a lot of challenge this year

QUOTE(johnnycp @ Aug 23 2017, 01:30 PM) Why this car reverse camera so blur... I too get used to my old car which has very clear view. There are three level of zoom. I admit the closest level is blur, but the one that show far off is pretty good. Maybe I'm just easy to please.

QUOTE(voncrane @ Aug 23 2017, 03:12 PM) You do sound easy to please.. It's not an entirely bad thing.  I'm not always like that but over the years, I tell myself that I should not be spending precious time worrying over little details, which, over time I will not care for anymore. For example, the car is nice now, sure - but after 5 years, I probably don't care if there's a slight nick. And that rear camera is probably the least on my mind now among other things in life. So, why waste these precious time over small matters? It's happier that way, don't you think? Anyway, once a while, I still get bugged but it's a continuous challenge I have to overcome myself

Thanks Neo_Y - this is very useful info! It also means if I have plans to put an Amp, but everything else is stock, I still need to disable it huh?
edit: you changed Tweeter too - 2 front and 2 back?

QUOTE(Neo_Y @ Aug 25 2017, 02:30 PM) Barely any different like before actually, ANC need a dedicated sub-woofer and our car do not have one. (others country do come with high end sound system, there are sub-woofer originally equipped at the boot space area) That's a great place for a subwoofer actually! It's out of reach and it didn't take up any space. Wow, now I want one like that.

I have been using a Apple Map for almost a month. It's not too bad. Quite good at navigating and does show traffic. But Waze is more fun. Anyway, Apple Map boleh tahan also.

QUOTE(prasys @ Aug 31 2017, 04:46 PM) Time to move to Android and get AA ! That thought does cross my mind. What is a mid-end Android that will do this? I think I don't need those high end - I am not replacing my iPhone. Just thinking of supp a line and get a mid-Android phone for this purpose. Crazy?

QUOTE(prasys @ Sep 1 2017, 09:58 AM) Steer clear from Xiaomi Pick up like a Samsung Galaxy J5 (999 ringgits) or something , it works well with Android Auto http://www.lazada.com.my/samsung-galaxy-j3...85545.html?ff=1Avoid Mi because AA hates it and Mi likes to put their crappy customization which breaks AA support Else , like what someone said , just better jailbreak your iphone , install cydia and then you may use waze on the headunit hehehe Jailbreak can work? Hmm... I do have an old iPhone lying around ....

So, just took the car and family (4 adults and 2 kids) for a drive to Ipoh and this car is just so powerful in the highway. 130kph feels so smooth and quiet. The RPM at that speed is around 2700. At 100kph, RPM was just 1500. Super quiet. Pick up when overtaking is powerful and the turbo doesn't roar as loud as I'd expect. Very pleased with the performance and experience.
