Welcome to the club bro! 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’m also a 2.0 High owner here, but mine's in Soul Red Crystal.

Hope to hear your experience with the car soon 🥰

Aisey... then should be the same... I got mine registered at the end of June, definitely will miss out the 6 year warranty. On a second thought if Mazda did this because the March and April customers missed out on tax exemption, I find it a bit odd because this is a government's scheme. They should upgrade the warranty across the board.

I don't like them both... the tint and the carpet

I'm a lady driver and having tested both the CX-5 and CX-30, I go with CX-5.

The simplest reason is I want more space. I occasionally will ferry four adults to a mid distance journey, and these includes my parents. The height is just right and easy for them to get in and slide out of the car, having arthritis and all. They also have motion sickness in regular sedan car since the seats are lower and thus blocked their views during a drive. I also needed a large enough boot for large suitcases as I will travel abroad with my family at least once a year.

The CX-30 on the other hand, is such a looker, so beautiful and sexy. However, once I stepped into the driver's seat, I felt cramped and claustrophobic. It felt tight all around and I don't really feel comfortable in it. That being said, the cabin quality is absolutely outstanding. I also want comfortable and roomy space in the back for two adults and CX-30 is lacking in that too.

I don't mind the size of the vehicle at all, it suited my needs and I love driving it to work daily

You should test drive both vehicles to your satisfaction and buy one that fits your needs (if not wants) the most. Good luck!

It's a weekly struggle for me!

yeah, I just use a plastic stool to wash and dry the roof part. Not only that, I can't reach even the middle part of the windscreen hahaha I've never felt so vertically challenged until I get this shark

yeah... I'm also very wary on the stool condition but so far okay.

due to loads of leaning during washing and wiping, wet t-shirt is a must hahaha

Thanks for sharing the towel brand. been looking for a large one especially during wiping

Congratulations bro! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Welcome to the shark family!
Please share your experience with your new ride 😁

The front look does resemble the tiger shark ... I think hahahaha

Tell me about it!!! I live in a suburb area and travels daily through the rural routes and all these bugs... come crashing on my car's grill. damn difficult to wash off

I can't remember how many times I have to re-wash that area alone for failing to get it right the first time. Those bugs can be so tough to remove if they've been there for several days.

That blower suggestion is brilliant! Same boat bro... can't be bothered to do the thorough drying hahahaha


I do want to get the high jet water pressure hose. Any good suggestion?

Oh my, I thought I'm the only one using the normal garden hose and use the picit method

Karcher huh... never heard of that... only thought of using the high pressure washer after watching the Meguiars UK youtube videos... seems a lot easier and faster using that haha... but if a bit costly then I'll just stick with my normal hose

Same bro... just towel dry around the grill area, swipe2 lol hahaha... I think my neighbours notice that I've been consistent with me washing my car every Friday evening lol

Wow! That's good to know. Might take a peek. Thanks for your feedback

if we choose to change our ATF at say 30k km, wouldn't this void the warranty? one SA told me that it wouldn't but I think it would. but if don't change then it will kill the engine entirely. dilemma2...

Nice!!! I shall try and ask the SC to change for me come 40k km mileage. ATF is changed based on mileage instead of period, right?

Good choice bro! Update us once you get your new ride ya

I agree on the speaker. It does feel inferior... such an expensive car but the speaker left me speechless

Hope to welcome you to the club soon

Just sharing my own experience with SAs...

The first Mazda SA asked me about my job and how much I make a month... just to check on my eligibility to afford the car. Not only that, she also went as far as asking on my other loan commitments, and this happened before I make any decision about purchasing the car. During the test drive... really killing the whole mood

The mercedes SA was a lot better. She didn't ask any of those background check questions, just attending to my inquiries about the A-class and taking me out for a test drive. Purely to enjoy the car and understanding the means of owing one (if I ever did)

At the end of the day, I changed SA (albeit a remote one), settling for the CX-5 and he did so well to accommodate all my needs and inquiries.

Truthfully, these bits and pieces of experiences can sometimes determine our big decision.

As far as I'm concerned (at least for the 2020 model) the navigation SD card is not provided to the base mode (mid). Only the 2.0 high or 2.0 GLS will get the SD card for navigation. Having said that, since the latest model is equipped with Apple Car Play and Android Auto, most people ended up using Google Maps for navigation (even my SA suggested this). I think only the latest 2019/2020 model comes with the Apple Car Play and Android Auto.

for the other questions, I think you might want to ask your SA

True enough, it all came back to our own personal preferences.

I choose to coat my car with Sierra Glow. I can't say much as I only had mine for 3 months, thus the look has been spot on so far. I do my weekly maintenance of washing my car. I'm not really diligent when it comes to polishing and waxing my car, thus the coating comes in handy for me

Bought mine end of June & get the car early July. Approximately 2 weeks. Mine is also 2.0 High but in SRC.

Perhaps can ask them again why so late & whether can get estimated delivery date.

DCB indeed a very popular colour choice on the CX-5. However, I do agree with you on their inability to provide the estimated delivery date. Their production is right here in Kulim, not elsewhere outside Malaysia, which delivery time could be inaccurate due to transportation, clearance, etc.

I hope you will get your car soon. Even though you're not in a hurry but yes, waiting over 2 months is a bit too long. Wish you all the best!
