most of the time the coating is the issue
i have rain-x applied and will hear mild juddering noise after couple of swings

same goes to my previous car

Me just booking 2.5 T. Thank you for your suggestion. Can’t wait for the car to arrive. Thank you

If it me I rather send to sc and have a check. To lost half liters for low distance, 5k km and relatively low mileage car is not normal

If you're in KL, can try sending a PM to user @I'm A V-Kool.
I did V-Kool 40 when I replaced my windscreen and I'm very pleased with their workmanship.

RFID is a PITA on my CX-5.
I installed RFID since Oct 2018 on the headlamp and my success rate is slightly above 50%.

no

For performance car like Mazda MX5, if you slam your foot all the way pedal to metal, the system automatically cut off the compressor also to give u more power output for a short duration

I feel tearing out the whole car's tint gives me heartache cuz we paid for the skytint right with the car price thats why was thinking of it and the vendor said can take out front windscreen and replace with 3M crystaline and rest of the windows with 3M Ebony

Suprise to hear u get good reviews with Raytech vs Vkool. As the other thread of car tint all did not have good reviews with Raytech even with their highest spec tint.

But agree that skytint is not work great on our hot weather

hopefully everything running smooth and no problem. especially on the legendary lower arm bush sound issue.

haha yea, I really enjoy the shark view with the sky dim light around 730pm.. and night.. 

Hi, future owner here. Was planning to buy 2.5 than decided to go all out for 2.5l turbo because of 450nm torque n 4wd. Hope i wont regret..and hope the petrol consumption wont be too high 😅

I think this car will  be higher power with 97 ron, but the increase isnt that big especially you are using it to race 😄
Use 95 good enough if u wanna speed up more just step the gas peddle more 😁

Btw i got good news from my sales person from mazda, he said my cx5 turbo will come with 10inch information screen 🤣
New unit from factory, hope it is real, he said price might increase by 2k for future buyer

Hi there.

I'm about to place an order for the Mazda CX5 2.5 Turbo soon. Unfortunately, gotta give up my hot hatch for something more practical and spacious as I recently "upgraded" to become a father.

Would like to know if there are any drawbacks to this particular variant? Any reliability issues when it comes to the turbo? And what are some good things about it?

Due to the MCO (again), I won't be able to test drive the car at the showrooms. So my experience with it is as much as I've gotten from watching reviews on YouTube. My wife currently drives a Mazda 3 so I'm already quite familiar with the brand, and to be honest, would've loved to have a CX5 with the updated interior (like the CX30 and the new M3) but I can't wait anymore, as my wife's SA said a new CX5 will likely only come end of 2022, plus it might take years for the new CX5 to be equipped with a turbo engine.

So yeah, any thoughts on the 2.5T variant? I'm going to book this purely out of blind faith. I was actually considering the X70 as well but I think despite all the bells and whistles that the Proton offers, it's probably still not as refined as the CX5. Was also looking at the VW Tiguan Allspace R Line, but the safety features are sorely lacking and it's also more expensive. Another option would be a demo unit XC40, but the interior is a little too small for my liking plus I heard the maintenance is gonna bleed me in the future.

Thanks for the input guys!

just got quoted for original mazda wiper replacement (rubber refill only) for RM130 RH + RM85 LH. Abit expensive but i got bad experience change my Honda's wiper to OEM wiper then get wiper judder issue.

any of you have good reviews for cx5 replacement wipers?

Hey guys, my CX5 2.5T currently clocked in at 2.5k KM, i have encountered few issues and hopefully advice will be given.

1.) The front driving and passenger windows seems to be making some noises when going through uneven roads, it seems the windows rubber is the culprit, anyone have the same issue here?

2.) When the car is in full stop or idle, such as waiting traffic light, I can feel some slight vibration coming from the engine, although not intense, but it’s definitely noticeable and making me feel uncomfortable, it gets a little bit better when I use the Auto Hold function, which makes me wonder if this is normal for Skyactive Engine? (I-Stop has been disabled).

3.) Center console also have some ‘tik tiak’ noises, more noticeable during cold start and after turning on the AC. Currently i suspect caused by expansion and contraction of the plastic, anyone have the same issue and claimed for warranty?

The car has been great and the driving experience is fantastic, but it starts to makes me question the quality of Mazda cars…….. already have multiple issues after only less than 2 months of usage… while my previous toyota still kicking strong even after 10 years…

Hey guys, does anyone experiencing losing engine oil with 2.5t variant? Currently my car is clocked in at 19k km, still 1k away from my next service schedule, but today suddenly low engine oil warning popped out on my instrument panel, after checking the dipstick, indeed the engine oil is running low, which makes me wonder whether is the engine makan the engine oil or is this possible the SC has filled insufficient engine oil during my previous service? Or perhaps there’s something went wrong with my car?

Previously my car comes with Shell Helix Ultra engine oil, 10k km no issue at all, now using petronas syntium and facing this issue, may I know if this is normal for 2.5T to lose engine oil?

Is 2.0 variant sufficient for normal city drive? Will it underpower? I'm thinking whether should I get 2.5T, but it might overkill for city drive

Hi guys, I was considering the 2.5T but realized our local lineup may be due for a refresh soon. Has anyone heard anything about a facelift in 2022? Pauline Tan’s website has an article on the 2022 refresh which comes with a different headlight, taillight, and front grille designs.

My wishlist for the facelift as someone whose seriously considering an entry level premium SUV (200k-300k) is:

- Better 360 degree camera and reverse camera resolution. Reviewers all criticized the low res cameras on the current models we have.
- MRCC. No reason why the top spec at 180k (likely more expensive for this facelift) doesn’t have radar cruise control with stop-go traffic support.
- Better rim choice for the Malaysian market. The current ones make the tires look smaller than they are (they are 19” if I’m not mistaken). The ones in the press photos look miles better than ours.
- Option for brown interior leather would be amazing.
- Option or standard across the board better speakers.
- Hopefully the wireless charger comes to our market too.

Mazda is already making it clear to everybody they’re moving upmarket. Just increase the price to 200k and throw in these goodies!
