I believed it’s about these package, but as some members already commented before, these benefits are not really useful for car less than 5-years old

Yes, it's the package if you renew with Berjaya-Sompo at Bermaz.
I renewed via my SA because when I compared online for the same coverage value with Etiqa or others, the premium is among the cheapest.

For my previous 3 rides, I've been using Etiqa for most of the times as they were among the cheapest, but I found that after the insurance liberation last year or two, Etiqa was not the cheapest anymore

I heard that the changes are mostly to the interior with new cluster meter, LED cabin light, etc but the price jump is more than Rm5k
I doubt there will be any changes to the exterior as 2019 models in US, UK, Aussie, etc still remains the same look.

Bro, please re-read my post again
Etiqa was on my previous rides, not my CX-5

For CX-5, I renewed with Berjaya-Sompo via my SA, not direct with Berjaya-Sompo or online

You can always get Etiqa quote online.
In fact, you can easily get online quote from other insurance too

No worries bro.
Let your SA do the work for you since he also get commission for the renewal.

If it is like the one in FB post, the digital seems to be for the big center dial, but the smaller left and right dials are still analog.
Not fully digital meter like those found in Tiguan

Still look dated if compared to the Europeans, but at least the water temp dial is there already

Might looks OK for lady driver, but not for me though.

At that kinda prices with NA engines, tough luck lah!
Me and missus like the design of the HB, but not the prices and specs of the NA engines

No doubt about that if the household only required 1 car.
But for families who are looking for a second car, the price of the new Mazda3 are not competitive compared to their rivals.

Above my expectation for an SUV, but definitely cannot beat a sedan
Much better than my previous 2011 Sportage GT and my missus 2014 CR-V

The trainers kept only telling us on the walkie-talkie to push the CX-5 harder while we were worried that our CX-5 will topple or turn turtle

How do you describe the "sonic noise"?

Mats an boot tray are not that critical unless you don't like the look of the stock mats
Shades is important if you don't intend to replace the louya Skytint

Other than that, maybe pedal plates, pedal lock, dashcam,
Thee are not that important and don't kacau the warranty , just nice to have

IIRC, the petrol brand that members in FB & whatsapp groups talking about is Shell.
Some says Ron95 while some says 97, so best if you read the threads in FB groups on the fuel pump issues

As 2.2D owner, I'm not worried of the fuel pump problem as so far only happened to the petrol variants manufactured in 2019.
My main concern is on the so-called radiator blown-on issue that happened to some Thailand and Taiwan 2.2D units

Good to know that, just that the Thailand 2.2D units are assembled in Gurun plant and they also encountered the problem like the Taiwan units.
We can only speculate the problems happened on Thailand units as they don't use at least diesel Euro5 for their 2.2D

Thanks for sharing your experienced here.
Btw, your car is 2018 or 2019 model?

Paiseh!
I stand corrected,
It is from Kulim, not Gurun.

From FB,whatsapp groups, seems like most complaints on quality are from owners who ordered their CX-5 from the free-GST period onward.
Maybe because the Kulim plant cannot cope with the demand and the QC standards drop or simply because more units, more complaints?

I got mine before CNY 2018 and so far I'm quite pleased with my 2.2D, but I also encountered these issues:
1. Lower arm bush - replaced under warranty during 30k servicing
2. Intermittent rattling sound from dashboard
3. Left rear view couldn't close or open properly. Intermittent too

It's a well known issue by the SA at the SC and can happened after a few weeks of delivery or tens of thousands km later.
It is covered under warranty and the repair time normally take less than 3-4 hours, depending on the SC

How's your finding on Petron Euro5 so far?
I normally refuel with Petronas to take advantage of CC cashback

If you have the time, can make appointment with SC to check on the clunking noises or you can just inform them of the problem when you send your car for 20k servicing.
If they confirmed it is lower arm bush, they will check if they have spares to slot-in your car for repair slot, else they will schedule for a new date once the have the parts.

Are you referring to the 2 small corners next to the wheel arches?
Not really useful coz Bermaz never installed rubber netting there

Current Mazda cars with MZD can retrofit the CP/AA module at SC for RM1.4k or do outside for around RM1k.
If the MZD firmware is still ver 59.x, can ask SC to update the fw to ver 70.x
No need to wait till September
