Not sure if the ECU can handle the load. Need to check with other sifus here.

Bought it from a shop from Jalan Ipoh. In fact they have a thread here.

https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=2324118&hl=

Don't know...don't dare to try. Buy adi then ended up cannot fit then it'll be wasted. Prefer to change at the shop there.

Is it? Then the SA bull-shitted me when I ask if we can change the head lights to LED if we bought the lower specs version.

The PIAA I bought from the shop - the clips they had does not fit the CX-5 2018

I've asked few shops in KL which sells PIAA - most of them says does not fit. Ended up one shop in Kepong customized the clip with the clip for Alphard

Ya man, please update us if you find a shop that sells the correct hook for gen 2

Got it from Sompo when I got mine. Next year will see how.

Usually if I want to keep the door opened then I'll won't close my door tightly.

WTF? Jumped from 2.50 to 3.40? Are you sure you pumped the correct one? Maybe you pumped in RON 100?

Don't worry you are not the first one. I almost kena myself that time when I was at Shell petrol station. Shit my bricks when I saw 3.40 per litre and then only realised it was RON 100

To see if CX-5 worth the extra 40k, you have to go test drive both. Personally I have tested drive both and I've written a short review on X70 on X70's thread.

The handling, suspension, pick up feed, gear shifting, engine power and body roll is simply different between both.

Tech wise definitely hands down on X70 as it has more features and tech stuffs than CX-5.

If my financial condition allows, then definitely CX-5. No doubt.

If my financial is tight and I would still like a SUV, then definitely X70. Where can you get something like that for 112k OTR for executive and 130k ish OTR for premium?

Can't comment on spare part, maintenance, reliability and etc since it's yet to be seen. So future costing is unknown.

As for how far CX-5 below, mostly on the features and techs. Here are the few that's in X70 and not CX-5.

1. Sunroof - personal preference. to me it's nice to have. only premium spec has it.
2. Infotainment system - superb compared to CX-5. features rich and comes with the "Hi Proton". was told gonna have Android Auto and Car Play feature in future. unlike ours which I don't use it often cause it's so damn featureless except for radio and music player. didn't even come with Android Auto and Car Pay by default (which should have come with it since it's like a standard feature. but no no no Bermaz has to charge 1.4k for that)
3. LED/LCD screen dashboard - personal preference. very informative, colorful and nice. I always like LCD dashboard like Honda's Civic and Peugeot's 3008
4. Nappa leather - feels better. only premium spec has it.
5. Some safety features like lane departure, tyre pressure monitoring and etc (CX-5 has that but only the diesel variant which is like 40-50k more)
6. Lots of USB port - they even put the USB port near the front mirror and back windscreen for easy dash cam installations. very well thought.

So all in all, why still CX-5? The looks of it is simply stunning and this fact alone determines my choices. Not to mention the superb handling, suspension and other stuff that allows one to "zoom zoom" nicely on highways. This driving experience simply stuns you.

Cheaper road tax part is true. But roar part...macam not as good as CX-5 hahaha. Maybe it's just me

I am the opposite of you. TPMS is optional to me but I need AA so much

Oh, if your dashboard view is blocked by your steering wheel, maybe you need to adjust the steering wheel height or your seating height.

Oh ya, forgot to mention the 360 camera. I am still a bit of skeptical using that to park the car...still trust the good ol side mirrors

Ya man, the acceleration is like what I mentioned - feels like CVT.

Actually X70 has a bigger boot size at 512 litres compared to CX-5 at 442 litres. However, from one look it looks X70 has smaller boot.

When I checked the boot that time, it doesn't have protruding area but it feels smaller compared to CX-5

That means you made a good choice since so many are on the road nowadays. Don't need to care about others. Just enjoy your own ride

Well SUV is like the trend nowadays. I've tested most SUV in this price point before jumping to CX-5. Yes, Sportage and Tuscon is in the liste

For promo you gotta check with the SA. Don't expect much, probably 500-1k rebate or just full tank petrol only. Mazda or Bermaz are not that keen on giving rebates and free gifts unlike Honda.

Mine is 60+ km but I am fine with it. Probably when they transferred the car from somewhere else and also tested the car before handing it over.
