From what I read, the SUV+ is a newer and slightly improved/updated version of the P4S. But I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference anyway 😂 The SUV+ is around RM467.50 per tyre, just slightly more than P4S.
My old Michelin SUV is about 4 years old with 60k km mileage...about time to change.
Not sure if wanna stick with more expensive punya Michelin Primacy SUV+ or try Toyo CR1
correction.. AutoHold by right should have no sound its like to force the brake hydrolic to stay in position even after u remove ur foot from the pedal. eBrake having high pitch sound like fishing reel reeling in..
But if I pull the e-brake instead then it'll have no sound. Only Auto Hold...not sure why
Just to share if any have encountered a rattling sound near driver's door/windows/B pillar, for my case it's the U hook at the door latch. The door latch is not thick enough so it's making the rattling sound when it's locked. Solution is just put some tape over the U hook.
Your door didn't feel harder to open or close after this?
I tried the same on my CX30, end up my door can't really close or open properly. Need to pull harder when closing and push harder to open. Maybe I wrapped too thick
Maybe don't wrap one of the side. Need to trial and error. I wrap a thin layer of tapes so seems okay.
Uhhh I think I am experiencing the Mazda gear box issue now. Yesterday while driving it sounded like my engine is stuck in low gear, my speed is not matching up to my rpm (speedometer hardly moves while tachometer increases) Went to a auto repair shop and after checking he said could be gear box issue, usually need to overhaul the whole box which could cost 4-5k? What he suggested trying to do is changing the gear box oil and oil treatment which cost a few hundred to see if it fixes the issue instead.
Anyone had similar experience?
I think yours is a very rare case. I rarely see gearbox issue on Mazda cars..even in Facebook group I almost never see anyone complained about that
Confirm will have change. It's considered a new gen instead of facelift. I just hope they retain some physical controls instead of putting every control in screen
Will consider upgrading from my CX30 if Bermaz can spec and price it right. Since they are selling CX60 CBU for 198k now, I expect CX5 to be priced lower, with the highest spec maybe overlapping the CX60
Given how they retain physical buttons in CX-60 I assume they will do so in this new CX-5. I've seen the exterior pictures shared in FB group (not sure if it's legit)...doesn't suit my taste
I predict they will sell this new CX-5 around 150k to 170k?
Quite nice design wise. Interior a bit Chinese car inspired.... why the letters on the steering wheel and why airconds controls in the screen..... but at least it's using Google Automotive now
Personal opinion, the side and rear looks ok but the front looks ugly as hell. Interior looks okay but no more physical button..feels like EV car already.

Would like to ask for advice for CX5 2.5T. Milage now is 120k km after 5 years.
1. I changed my transmission fluid at 60k km. Now at 120k km, should I just change the fluid & filter? Or should flush the transmission fluid? SC advisor said better to flush. But I read that there are risk associated with flushing..
2. SC quoted to change these items. Body, Fuel Filter & Filter Fuel Pump. Parts cost alone RM635.00 Or should change them outside and will cost less in view that the car is after warranty.
3. Seems odd that SC didn't mention need to replace the timing belt....
4. Air cleaner. Should I replace with Mazda air filter or get the after market type? Thanks in advance.
1. Just change fluid and filter will do 2. Change outside 3. I remembered I changed 2 belt around 100k km mileage..should be the alternator belt. It's not expensive so just change it
My Varta Q85 battery died today after 1.5 years. Usually before the battery KO will got warning....but this round don't have. Made me stranded outside and have to call battery guy to come and change =/
