Forgot to mention here..
I try to press this and that during weekends, experiencing the soft touch dashboard and etc..

Do you realize some part/plastic cover from the interior and exterior are rather soft than you expected, let me give some examples.

1. The plastic panel below your steering, or above your legs (driver side).
2. The interior part of the roof..
3. The plastic thing below the wiper (that small curve on the left and right)

is it normal?

Yo guys,

My SA told me that Mazda HQ has allocated 15 units of CX-5 to the dealership for this month, but the customer names are somewhat not finalized yet.

Is this normal? Shouldn't the dealership decide the names n who gets first? Currently he is waiting for an email from HQ on the name list.

Just put the dp for 2.2D AWD, the waiting game started...

Now start to do sourcing for the tint, powerboot and 360 camera..sifus here, can recommend any brand/installer?

Im like so nervous/excited to get cx-5...jumping from small car suzuki swift to CX5 SUV...EXCITED

I understand how you are feeling. I switched from a small Myvi to big SUV like CX-5 too

haha.. same here... still using Myvi... waiting patiently for my CX5..

My plan was to change car in 1-2 years time but because of the tax free period

CX-5 2.2 2WD Diesel Machine Grey - 1 unit can deliver this month if LOAN can come out on time.

Please pm with your contact (mobile) so we can get in touch asap.

If you don't want to spend a fortune on your tint, just replaced the front windscreen with good quality tint from 3M, VKool, Llumar, etc
The side and rear windows can use magnetic shade, etc if not dark enough
Powerboot, can check with installers like Jack Lieu, Shorty5 in Klang. Budget from Rm1.8k to 3k

Thanks for yr recommendations....

Wow!!! What a coincidence!!! Me too!!! ✌

my SA got ready stock DCB 2.0 GLS. anyone want his contact can PM me.

same 3 here.
Loan approved, number booked. Car booked since 11/6 but no news yet... zzz

Hi. I have booked CX-5 2.2D FWD. Read a lot of the wheel spin and torque steer. But today, I was offered a 2.5 model. Any members here own a 2.5? How is the consumption in town use? If it can best the average 9.4L/100KM my Subaru XV is getting, I don't mind the more expensive road-tax. Only negatives are the absence of Driver Attention Alert and Smart City Brake Support and the main reason why I booked 2.2D FWD.

You will miss out the lane assist feature, adaptive led headlight and the round colored digital display

No budget ler. Irregardless of quality of tint, my case is more on the poor workmanship and SA/SC trying to put the blame to HQ.

Anyone has info about 2.0GLS Deep Blue Crystal coming this month?

Agree. I will sit out this 2.5 and wait for the 2.2D.

Definitely the 2.2D for its 420Nm torque, the more complete i-Activsense suite, full color LCD display instrument cluster, not forgetting the super good FC. But ofcoz the diesel engine noise can still be a little annoying. But the 2.0 engine also sound like a diesel engine ...

Malaysia model only have 6 speakers, and the center of the dashboard is left empty without any speaker. Did anyone install additional speaker at the center of the dashboard? Simple plug and play without the need to remove the dashboard first?
