Ok...understood. but feeling abit of sad hearing this, we don't get those gadget ler...

But last week when i go for service i ask my SA about the power tailgate from Mazda..

She confirmed that too, but pricing not announce yet, and we can retrofit them into our car..

5 Years warranty from Mazda.  nod.gif
*
If retrofit for previous generations not sure how much it'll cost cause they key fob will be different. If key fog is different then isn't the alarm/car lock system needs to be changed as well? hmm.gif

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  biggrin.gif
*
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.

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

mazda cx-5 2.0 GLS vs sportage. how much different on the "POWER"??
give some comment since u have tested both car  rclxms.gif

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.

Bro, I read somewhere existing users been complaining about them where the tint installed from CC is having issue with bubbles.

Honestly I saw many cars, esp the rear windscreen having a lot of bubbles from the tint which is really unpleasant, esp premium brands.
*
Currently using canny cool on top of the skytint for front windscreen. Touch wood no problem so far but then I always park my car in basement.

To be honest, any car if parked under sun for long time will also have bubble issue even with premium brands. My house mate's car is using 3M tint but also kena bubble after 3-4 years. Pay up to 2k but suffers the same issue as paying 300-1k. Might as well go for the cheaper one.

Thanks Chairman.

How was the heat rejection?

The skytint really can feel the heat on your face and thigh. Plus on the dash, it emits rubber smell.
*
Actually the skytint quality is okay, just that Bermaz opt for the wrong VLT which almost like no tint at all.

The heat rejection is pretty good. At least I don't feel the sun heat burning my balls when I drive in the afternoon.

Most top brand like Vkool, 3M etc been use by many of my family members and friends...all still work perfectly after 5 yrs....those kena issue most likely outlier or workmanship issues...of cause nth is perfect as there is certain % of defect rate but what I can say is premium brand vs normal brand outlier or issue will be kind if different rate....normal brand chances to get bubble or heat rate degrade after 3-4 yrs is very high when compare to top wellknown brand....

QUOTE(kyoshooo @ Sep 28 2018, 08:12 AM)
Been using canny cool for 9 yrs, no bubble spotted still looks good as day one.
*
Even premium brand does has its fair share of complains. And here we have 1 example of local brand tint lasting for 9 years. Since either premium or local brand has a certain % of defects, I might as well go for a local brand for just a small fraction of the price. In my case, 300 for the front windscreen. The sky tint for the side and rear seems decent. In case 3-4 years later it has bubble or other defect, I can claim warranty or just replace a brand new one since it's just 300. Additionally, sky tint already cost 2k so I don't feel like paying another 2k for tint. This fact alone just doesn't sit right with me.

But hey, there's no right or wrong. Each to own preference and wallet laugh.gif

Hi guys, I just went to do "idle tuning" last weekend with Sideq (To be precise he wasn't there but his staff Khairil was there. Very friendly and helpful guy). Gonna share with you guys. I will try to explain it based on what I know so feel free to correct me.

Good share! Personally, I'm waiting till after warranty for such tweaks. Giving potential issues as below and the cost of an engine replacement. Too risky for me to tempt Mazda Malaysia with warranty claims.

Cannot tahan already. The shaking and vibration is making me very uncomfortable. Not to mention the damage it does to the engine mounting.

No wo. Initially a bit skeptical to go for idle tuning, so didn't even consider ECU remap. Now will probably give it a try. Maybe end of the year laugh.gif

That's only 1 over millions of diesel CX-5 sold in the world. There's warranty and if it's anything serious I believe Mazda will do a mass recall.

Hi all, my car is arriving soon and I have the option to get power tailgate if I want for a slightly longer wait. Is it worth it for the extra 2k?

It seems to not be the type where it can sense your feet under the car. Operate with button press only.

Also, just a normal daily driver with occasional use of the boot space
*
Seems to come with a 3 key fob but no leg sweep. Worth or not is up to you...for me I am tall enough to use it manually so I don't bother wasting 2-3k for it.

Just now Mazda had a roadshow event at Sunway Pyramid. Seems like they jack up the price. I saw the price for 2.0 GLS is 146k + 3k for premium color which is 149k. I remember I got it for around 144k or 145k ish during the tax free period. Even with power tail gate included, that's like 2k extra increment? hmm.gif

Some says it's because of those rain repellent. I used Glaco as well and got the judder. Cleaned them off and try again?
