They also did bleeding on brake fluid...seems better or maybe it's just placebo effect

Can only find it out on the next emergency brake - which I hope don't need to do that hahaha

New CX5 MZD connect..fugly 

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.

I know this topic has been discussed before. I am a bit slow. I just watched some videos on engine oil so I am just curious about it and remembered talks about the engine oil provided by Mazda's free service is inadequate.

So to sum it up, Mazda's free service is giving Shell Helix HX7 5w-30 semi-synthetic oil. This oil is recommended to be changed every 5000km. However, Mazda's free service only calls for every 10,000km. Which means the engine oil have to last double compared to the recommended. Therefore, some people requested for fully synthetic oil which is more suitable for 10,000km. However, Mazda is charging RM130 extra for full synthetic oil which they are actually making a lot of money from.

I have search for pricing of Shell semi-synthetic and Shell Ultra fully-synthetic price. The difference is only like RM70. I think if Mazda charge RM100, it would be a fair price.

So our choices:
1) use their semi-synthetic. Ride out 10,000km until next service.
2) use their semi-synthetic. Ride out 5,000km then change to same semi-synthetic oil outside. Cost RM80-100 depending on workshop.
3) pay RM130 for Mazda to change to fully-synthetic oil.
4) buy own fully-synthetic oil (cost RM150 for Shell Helix Ultra) and bring along to Mazda during service.

Or we all could lodge a complain to Mazda? 

Definitely better deal outside. In fact the side and rear tint is usable...only the front tint cannot tahan. You can change or add on the front tint.
Eh Keith, they gave you back the free 5w-30 unseal shell engine oil? I asked before and they told me they are not gonna give it back to us.

Which SC did you go to? Scammer la macam ni.

Meaning it's not the usual standard procedure then?

Like widget said, those are Brembo big brake kits which comes with bigger pads, disc rotor and caliper. The one in the Lazada link seems to be normal brake pads.

Do you really need those additional mods? I think our car's handling is pretty great already

I've no comment or idea on how those mods will affect the GVC but I think sifu like skeith can answer you more.

How to use istop the right way?
I have it then on, I stop at traffic lights, continue to press brake, the engine stop for 10-15 sec, but thereafter the engine start again want my foot is still pressing brake?
Is this normal? I tot the engine only resume after I release the brake. Anyone??

Do you want SA from Ampang Mazda? This guy is quite good service. He respond quickly and provide sufficient information. Also is not pushy like other SAs. However, I didn't buy from him because I approach Mazda's CEO directly. Anyway, I thanks the Ampang SA for his good service and will intro him people who want to buy Mazda. PM me if you are interested.

** oh btw if you guys are wondering, the answer is NO. Did not get any discount even when ordered from Mazda's CEO.

4K for 2019 car? That is really good cash rebate!

Hi bro, mind to share ur SA contact?
Wa 4k is quite good deal. Mind to share yr SA contact?

Hi, mind sharing to me too? Thx..

After looking at the CX-8, I wish to install that grill into my car.

It is more classier and easier to clean, not sure if i can get it in taobao...

Oh gosh...that grill only for 3k...

Without apple carplay you already can use spotify with the existing system, right? I didn't try iphone yet but I am sure it works on Android phones. For me, paying RM1.5k just for Waze is not worth it. I would rather continue to use my phone for Waze.

It is also because what is added is not worth 1.5k. When you pay 1.5k, you get upgraded firmware and some sort of more powerful USB cable.

The cost for the USB cable os like less than RM20. The cost for the firmware is like nothing because Mazda already have a team programming that and we already paid a lot for that media system when we buy the car. Maybe Mazda have to pay Apple and Android a bit of royalty but I doubt it is higher than RM200 per car.

The work of doing the cabling is actually the tough part. Lots of things need to be dismantled and if you do it outside, you would probably need to pay like RM150-250 for the job.

Even so, adding them up, it only you RM500 but you need to pay RM1500 for it. For RM1500, you can get a good android based headunit already.

Knowing Mazda, I think they are just taking the opportunity to squeeze more money from their customers. I am not going to be their waterfish.

PS. I got insider source one some of Mazda dealings. Let me say, a parts that cost like RM300 in the market, they sell it to SC for RM30.

Are you sure a USB hub like that cost RMB500 for Mazda? A cable like this will not cost even RMB50 to manufacture in China. I am sure Mazda will get some sort of factory price for that. Add some overhead, it cost at most RMB100 for Mazda per cable. Anyway even at RMB500 that is around MYR300. Way higher than the RM1500 they are charging. It is just not worth it.

And you are right on the headunit already installed. They can charge you high price because you are already "up bus".

No, I won't give in to their overpriced unit even if I really need it. It's not because we cannot afford it but we need to make a stand that they are charging too much for it.

Lol, why you mention that (bold part)?

1. Service center is consider so far so good.
2. Spare parts last time is expensive, but now you can see alot of CX5 on the road, will cheaper already.
3. Like what? meaning someone want to claim item A, but SC rejected that?

I think I read from the previous replies before that the car vibrates like hell when idle.

Recently I feel that too, When i stopping my car, I pressing the brake pedal to make a full stop, then the vibration is much felted.
After I turned on Auto Hold and move my foot away from brake pedal, the vibration decrease a bit.

Could this be something to do with my engine oil? I'm using Semi syn and Petronas Ron95 Prodrive.

Ok. Mine is 2.0gls by the way.

Just got the car on August 2018, and drive about 69xx km

1. It has DPF as stated in the manual.
2. My SA and the SC said it will void warranty if we use Bio Diesel. It has to be Euro5. But if emergency, can just pump maybe 10 litres or so until can travel to fuel station with Euro5.
3. No Bose speakers for KF model (2nd gen). To me Bose is just overglorified name. I’d rather install Focal or other well established names. End of the day it’s just how much you wanna spend $$ to get better sound

I see. Good to know that they are using their noice cancelling technology in KF CX-5.
Pity that Bermaz strips all these technology for the Malaysian markey
