G6 is in between CX5 19" and the G5 in term of ride quality/comfort and steering sharpness.

For town driving, Hybrid has the edge. On highway above speed limit, turbo has the edge.

Never tried the CX8.

I thought cx8 and crv different segment

While i collecting my V yesterday, 2 RS being delivered as well from same branch
Then when I go do tinting, meet another new RS white color doing tinting

And while installing my plate number, meet 1 CX5 new facelift owner, initially booked RS since Jan change his order to mazda

Terbalik now,, last time waiting period for Mazda is long,, now buyer change to mazda for fast delivery

I dont know is it due to demand or still shortage of chips..

At my V Specs seat plastic sticker saw that my production date from kilang is 22 Mar, delivered to showroom 2 Apr
*
Same with me.change from rs to CX8.my SA simply could not give me the availability date.

The round thing is the cover for a nut. Easily missing, but that part is cheap and sometimes the SC just replace it for u for free(at least for my Service center that I frequently go)

Diesel are generally reliable. So what's the issue with this one?
*
Car is not the problem. The problem is the price of the diesel itself. After this no more subsidy for diesel.

Seriously considered CX-8 too but it's too long and hard to park in Georgetown street parking lots. The middle row being captain seats is also a huge disadvantage because we have a mid-sized dog that enjoys some space in the 2nd row bench, so it'll be hard to fit her in a captain chair.

And if I get a CX-5/CX-8 I'll get minimum 2.5NA and ideally 2.5T, but their fuel consumption is really crazy. I'm not worried about the money but it's the guzzling dinosaur juice that wife and I are conscious about. Laugh all you guys want... nod.gif
*
Myself cancelled my CRV RS booking and take the CX-8 2.5T. Yes the fuel consumption is little bit higher but engine response is much better. Driving feeling felt like is CX-8 is better than CRV.

But overall still fell sad did not get my CRV. But the waiting time is too long and wifey really love the Mazda.

Bro…. Why you do this to me hahaha. My SA just told me June allocation for RS only ONE for each Penang branch wtf!! There’s more than five people in front of me in the queue also waiting. Wow… if like that really cannot.

How long did you wait for CX-8, if I may ask?
*
10 days only including loan submission.( about 3 days for loan process). CX-8 I think is the same price as CRV although the CX-8 is little more expensive than CRV but it come with free service + part.

That's crazy fast. I may need to seriously reconsider my options. Are you bothered by the extremely small infotainment screen and the low-res 360º camera on your CX-8?
*
Overall happy with the CX8.Engine pick up much better than the CRV or my civic fc but then the fuel consumption is higher.

Not bothered by the infotainment screen. Only problem if using android auto need to use wire connection, only apple carplay is wireless. Map also not pre-installed like Honda. The infotainment also need sometime to be familiar as it is using toggle and button(touchscreen is disabled when the car is moving)

360 camera is much better in the CRV but for me the CX8 camera is just enough to get by.

Additionally

Plus point for CX8 compared to CRV
- large size
- leather seat + interior more premium than CRV

Negative point
-I think the CX8 is boring as all the mazda look identical.
-CRV has more gadget and latest technology. Also CRV looks more Garang.

Personally, I am willing to wait for 3 month for the CRV but then my Civic start giving problem and my wife like the mazda so much. After all delibiration due to shorter waiting time and to make wifey happy proceed with CX8.

dont believe CX8 pick up can be better than Civic FC, especially if it is the 1.5 turbo mill.
FC is lighter and very powerful, while CX8 is so damn heavy.
CX 8 0-100 sure more than 10 seconds while FC maybe 7-8 sec.
*
Can do simple google search.civic fc tcp 0-100km/h is 8.2 sec while mazda cx8 2.5T is 7.7 seconds. Also its just my honest opinion. U should test drive then can compare by yourself.

Agreed about the Cx8 being heavy as it takes longer to brake. Handling of course The Civic will won. As about top speed the max I go is 150-160 on both civic and Cx8(and very rarely) usually I go 120km/h max. I am just an old uncle do not dare to go until 200km/h.

If is 2.5T than is possible to outbeat civic 1.5t on acceleration. But anyway it is harder to control such huge car on high speed.

How is the fuel consumption in terms of KM/Litre? I drive my uncle non turbo 2.5, even drive with 120kmh only can hit 9km/litre on highway. During jam I think it drop to 7 or 8km/L.
*
Yeah mine about the same 9~10km/litre as well.

Wow 9-10km/L for highway driving is crazy. If 100% city driving how bad would it be? And turbo even worse?
*
Yeah city should be worse. I am living in outskirt of Kuantan so not much traffic and rarely goes to town, so for fuel consumption on city driving I could not compare much.

I'm a bit frustrated with the stupid waiting times on the RS already... considering Lexus RX300 recond now top up about 80k can get a decently specced 30,000km 2021 model that's a segment higher and honestly likely better reliability since it's a full petrol Lexus...
*
Top up 80k plenty of choice.

Harrier is a bit underpowered for my liking bye.gif if I get Harrier I'll also get recond maybe around 210k, better JBL sound system, better infotainment (bigger screen). Will think about that more.
280k can't really get anything decent.. X1 X2 too small, GLC and X3 are 380k range which is crazy. Used ones are quite hit and miss, I have a friend who bought a 2 year old 330i which had issues. They fixed under warranty but still, unneeded stress

how about the volvo?

so during idle, does the air conditioning running at normal mode ? didn't notice this . also didn't pay attention to the bose speakers. Was too into the performance of the car. laugh.gif Also didn't notice that  there was a 'head up display'.

Need to ask the SA. Sometimes they off the HUD function due to people complaining it is distracting their driving.

national speed limit is good liability waiver for most brands.

it's an awfully convenient loophole/grey area.
no tape required when an official fix by Honda is completed by just moving the trim a bit.
*
Just said I want to drive my car fast at Sepang for track day. During this time, I expect my car to reach the speed / performance as stated in the car brochure/manual.
