Congratulations mate! And welcome to the shark's club     

Hi, would like to ask:
1. Is the default activ-e film good enough at UV blocking?
2. Does the car come with dash cam? If not, any recommended options for both front and back?
3. Is I-stop really annoying in long traffic jam/slow moving traffic? If yes, is there a way to disable it?

Planning to test drive a cx-5, but sales person said there's no demo unit left. Had to wait til next month or November to test drive.
I'm now weighing on whether to get this (2.0 high spec) or Toyota Corolla Cross hybrid (the design really left a lot to be desired).

wow a 2.5T! mine's just the 2.0 and even that is good enough for me, especially if I put in the Ron97 fuel. the car feels lighter and acceleration / pickup is so smooth.

I had my eyes on Mazda 3 but I needed an SUV so, CX-5 fits the bill and rides really well.

I'm blessed to have alternative road (jalan kampung) to choose in my daily commute to work. So sometimes I turn off the motorway and use the alternative road just to test the driving dynamics of the CX-5. It didn't disappoint 

Glad to know you're enjoying your new ride 

I'm not sure I've ask this before.

May I know where do you stick your RFID sticker on your Mazda CX-5 KF.

Windshield?
Headlamp?

Mind to share the photo where do you stick?

I see, you put on the upper left (view from driver) ?

How's the effectiveness?

Ah damn, cx-30 ada? Actuslly already booked hrv rs but felt like the price doesnt justify the stuff they given (no auto dim rear mirror) bad nvh, crt tv infotainment etc. dont mind paying more for a better car.

not really, but i tot highway only more useful? u guys saying 3rd party install MRCC is the one that can stop & go ka? currently looking at car that can make my driving life easier as I am often commuting across border(miri & brunei).

What is the waiting period for CX5 turbo now?

SO LUCKY !!! I placed order end of June and now still yet to see my car tail light 

Forester is a little bit longer. Less maneuverable in tight spaces. It's used as a family car now. Great space inside. Windows so big too. Drive excellently. Power is adequate for most things. As long as u drive sanely.

But I needed another car when out by myself. N my current cars are getting old. So I wan to trade in those n get an SUV for myself. My requirements is for safety first. Subaru actually fullfil all. The Eyesight system is really good. Mazda is less capable but I don't want to go get another Subaru like XV. Want to try something new.

Tiguan no ADAS. Cross got stupid leg brake. Hrv, honda refuse to have 360 camera n blind spot monitor. Also head room y so less.. I'm 175cm. I go test the cx30 also feel small. I don't feel like buying Korean. So cx5 is 2nd best option.

yeah. i expected the consumption to be on the high side. the forester if i drive normal is about 8.8L/100km. Its quite a rev happy engine if u step on it but unfortunately up there, there is no power to be found

i didnt get to test the actual 2.5T unfortunately. so i cant say how it feels yet. I test drove the 2.2d, its just feels like a big cc NA engine. Not particularly hard pulling like the other turbos i drove before that pulls hard at peak torque. Maybe has something to do with the car heavy weight that numbs the feel.

Clocked 74k km mileage already and changed twice ATF at 30k km mileage interval. First time around 30k km and second time around 60k km mileage.

i see the US specs, at least 2500cc with or without turbo

no more 2000cc NA, starting from 26,700usd, which is around 125k in rm...

Should i continue to wait my turn for the current cx-5? or just go for the facelifted

currently my SA told me they might launch it at 2023. But price/spec still unknown

Any 2.5 turbo owners here? Thinking of getting one and was hoping to hear some ownership feedback, especially on problems to look out for

Nice, 3 months should be plenty especially if you drive every day.

Engine oil consumption is common to turbo cars, no matter the make or model. Will be worse if your driving style is aggressive. I noticed the same on my current car after a few spirited driving trips before I send it in for servicing.

Blown head gasket is really odd unless the owners always drive at red line or modded their cars. Also really odd because the power output of this car at 228HP/420Nm is very modest for a 2.5L turbo, ie it should be running at pretty low boost.

I guess you'd feel less turbo lag because there is a big 2.5L lump to help you get going.

More worried about problems with big ticket items like gearbox, turbo assembly, etc. Minor stuff I can live with. Any rattling or weird noises so far?

Sent to Glenmarie Bermaz Motor Trading Sdn Bhd (Body & Paint Centre, my car issues all repair/resolved here. Claim rear wheel bearing when the car just touching 10k km and steering column spring parts. Went to mazda sc near home, was told it is normal

Mine don't have either.

No beep on mine
