This one also they want to cheapskate.. Sure Ori and some third party but warranty by Mazda Malaysia..

I'm not sad on the power boot.. Would rather have Memory Seats and full iactivesense suite, especially MRCC with LSF..

For that price, they should change the key fob too.. Pressing more than once, is one too many buttons already.. IMO. But good, the button is placed in the cabin too.

Guys, which mazda showroom have mazda cx5 for test drive?

Glenmarie got.. Though, just call your preferred outlet and ask. Be very specific and clear on which variant you want to test. If they don't have it and you aren't in a rush, can be arranged for another day. Just make sure, they don't waste your time telling you to come, end up when you reach, the model isn't there.

Agree...but but but...those can't retrofit right?

I plan to wait warranty due and then go get help to unlock other features like SCBS-r, pedal shifters and etc..

and also will go to Bermaz to retrofit powerboot..

oh ok, thanks for ur info ya.
i would like to test 2.0 GLS, 2.2diesel and 2.5 are over my budget so badly

Hello All, can you please recommend a good tint? i'm planning to remove the original skytin and replacing a new one.

Which one is good? newbie here. Llumar - jpj compliant VTL is high and not dark.
Please help. THANKS

I believe all can be retrofitted, only a matter of cash.

You are welcome... The 2.0GLS is good enough.. Don't go test driving the other engines, cuz then you'll know what you'd be missing out on.. To me, it was a toss between it and the 2.2D FWD.. Never buy too much car for your finances.

That is sad then..

by the way...have you guys notice there are holes at the bottom of front seats..

[attachmentid=10038840]

I think it is aircon holes blowing from front when we switch to "blow legs"

Those holes not covered and easy to "swallow" dust or small stones...

Taobao selling cover for them you know..

i need go for test drive to feel it. so far i had tested subaru XV and Kia sportage 2.0 Diesel turbo.
subaru XV ok, but spaces was too small.
Kia sportage 2.0 diesel turbo very very nice on everything. but i not sure for long term will the diesel engine kacau or not. since i never drive diesel car before

Subaru XV I believe should be on different segment therefore it's smaller. I almost settled on Kia Sportage 2.0 diesel turbo but that time no stock. Plus the car doesn't have other safety features like those in Mazda. To compensate this, it's way cheaper than Mazda CX-5.

New FL Sportage 2.0 diesel turbo is coming to malaysia pretty soon. with all the safety features + auto boot at same pricing with current model.
it's new from Kia SA, not sure is real or not.

Yea, I got that info as well. But already bought CX-5 hahaha If I haven't buy the car, then I'll go for Kia Sportage Diesel Turbo for sure.

Wa petrol vs diesel how to compare? Hands down to Sportage Diesel of course. However, the outer and interior look is definitely Mazda.

Sportage Diesel also way cheaper compare to others. The cheapest I got was near 120k. The bad thing is that it lacks of other high tech safety features.

Also, lower resale value for Kia vehicles although I don't really mind about that since I probably will drive it til it breaks down.

waa?? what u ask about the price near 120k? SA quote me 136k leh.
actually i dun mind resell value as well, im was drive until it break down as well

btw, new FL sportage with 8-speed automatic transmission, good new or bad news i dunno la haha.

That time was a big promotion or something but no stock. Wait til July baru ada stock. Too late liao...bought the new CX-5 already hahaha

All the reputable brands do have tint that is JPJ compliant. Ask the authorised shop & they will suggest you

Btw these are some of the reputable known brands

1- HuperOptik - i think HuperOptik is well worth your money. It is the least expensive of all.
2- Llumar
3- V-Kool - the most expensive reputable brand
4- 3M
5- Haverkamp - also one of the least expensive compared to all the others.

i'm same as u (few months back) which comparing these 2 cars.
but anyway, thanks and appreciate for ur info ya

Day 3, cannot tahan driving with skytint. Felt as if driving naked. So i removed all skytint and replace with 3m crystalline+scotchshield.

Good
- car much less hot when parked under the sun
- faster to cool down, no need to turn aircon till max
- it is very clear at night
- price cheaper than vkool & llumar
- and btw, if u choose jpj compliant VLT, they will give u guarantee in case JPJ or Police saman you

Not so good
- i use 50% front and 40% for others, it is not that dark though, i was being told, some other brand, given the same VLT, they were darker, i cant brain this 😂
- smart tag is always an issue with 3m
- occasionally when im driving under the hot sun, i can feel some kind of ‘heat’ just beneath the windshield. This ‘heat’ sometimes i can feel on my face which gives me discomfort. But my hands on the steering are not affected. Never experienced this with my other car using vkool. Im not sure how to explain this situation, but maybe because of the ‘dotted’ area at the rear view mirror is not tinted (serve as a spot to use smart tag) so the heat entered through there..

Yup, super agreed. If ure budget only cater for 2.0 dont be so itchy test drive especially 2.2. U will ‘regret’ 😂

Thanks for your review of 3m . I'm getting my cx5 next week, and am looking to replace to 3m too. Isn't that we can only use 70% (or 30% rejection) for front, 50% for driver row windows and 30% for the passenger/back?
