it is ridiculous for them to force us to to use it, though it stated optional on the brochure?

dayuuummmm.....

thanks @duckies on such a great first page.. that'll get a good start for most of the newcomers and some basic questions..

New v2 d .......just to drop 2 ink 1st.....

I think it should be a thread for all CX-5 owners & lovers.. G1, FL & G2.. Easier this way, plus we can still learn a thing or 2 from the owners of the previous Gen.. Especially on where to service or buy accessories outside SC.. My 2 sen..

Yes, should not differeciate G1 or FL or G2....all of us are CX5 owner...similar to CX5 FB clubs which include all gen and learn from each others....

Thanks Duckies!!

Am now in Japan, lot of adv of Mazda Cx3 and Cx5. Be a driver.

1. What do you mean by the colored LCD? I thought only the safety features differ between the 2 specs.
2. How's the 2.2D fwd in driving? Many reviews mentioned bout wheelspin.

This is my only reason for changing my booking from 2.5 —> 2.2d despite knowing it is going to be troublesome for me to find euro5 at east coast of Malaysia. If not, i ll be driving my red 2.5 since last raya 😂

got good show room to test drive CX-5? especially the 2.0GLS? It is always available to test?

Klang valley area.

how about the HQ PJ?

See hyperx's attached images.
So far so good.. I too was concerned about wheelspins cuz those "reviewers".. But the owners I talked to (as you are now) assured me that as long as you've got decent tires and not whack the car around like those reviewers tend to do.. You will be fine. This is truth for me.. Never experienced a single wheelspin on dry or wet roads. Just don't be pulling out of the toll like a getaway driver. We didn't steal our cars, we love em and tend to drive em with more care.

Now you may be wondering, buy 2.2d and drive like a grandma? Nope? The car's quick and peels away even quicker once up to speed and or during overtaking. Just that you'll have to relearn how it's throttle system works and move with it, till it becomes more natural. Depending on your driving skills, this won't take long.

Haha.. Didn't know someone else would feel as I did towards the instrument cluster. Would it have be nicer if the whole thing was fully colored and digital, like Audi's or VWs? Yep.. But guess we can't have it all eh.. Perhaps G3/4?

Try HQ... Last time I was there, I did see a bunch of CX-5s available for test drives. You can actually call any of the branches first and request/confirm model availability before heading out there. Beware though, some of their sales men are still quite tipu one.. Will say it's there, but upon getting there.. suddenly got story of it not being there anymore.. Happened to me at 2 different branches during my initial hunt.. Really no ethics one, those guys.. But thing is, if you've seen any GLS, it's all the same.. So if it's the engine you want to test, just drive the non-GLS variant if available..

thats why it is better to go to the place always guarantee available one. 1 shot test every models. Will try check HQ next 2weeks.

Not interested in arranging like that because I am pretty sure I am not the only guy looking for it atm in this hot season.

have to try GLS version to know the features, then have to drive 2.0 to see if enough power for city drive to feel if too sluggish or not.

Booked on 3rd Jul, dah dapat the car today. Maybe it's the color meteor gray less laku

Sure.. Whichever's more convenient for you.

Congrats..

At first i thought 2.5 also equipped with similar instrument cluster. After i placed my booking only then i realized. Since that will be one of the most important thing to look at whenever i’ll be driving, i cant get rid from my head how awful it is. In fact the whole damn thing looks so outdated. God knows why they are so kedekut.

So fast Must be someone punya loan kena rejected. Or you buy full cash?

What's spec ya bro? I'll add you to the owner list.

Yeah, difference in price is about 3K, cheaper road tax, more power and better fc.. Despite increased maintenance costs, (I was shown the book with service costs), still acceptable to me. So we figured, if gonna buy new, keep for long and as daily driver? Better get the "nicer" look. Plus we didn't take the premium colors, so money saved there went towards paying the difference. Mazda is like a rebellious teenager, but one that knows it's stuff. So we can't exactly just shove them aside. They'll eventually get it and get with the times.

Pls add my ride - 2.2D Snowflake Pearl White.
Thanks.

Added. Wow so fast most of u guys are taking 2.2D

Tax holiday price mah.. Make it an even more attractive offering.. Else, where can Mazda give almost 10k discount.. Pssh

need to wait how long if order now? got long waiting list?

looking at 2.0GLS.
