so funny. so after 100k they expect u to sell the car away to a scrap yard ?

there are cases gb k.o after hit 100k km, so no more warranty due to above. but got owner survive with >100k km but he do change the ATF at 50k km intervals. either hope the gb k.o right b4 the warranty or change atf individually outside

Scary

After long thought finally place a booking for 2.5T. I can't wait for the facelift to release. Malaysia always so slow. SA say maybe Q2 next year.

I only got to test drive the 2.2d. I didn't manage to check if it's AWD or 2WD. First impression my SK Forester is better. CX5 felt like driving a heavy tank. The brake feel is bad. Stoping needs much more pressure. Will need getting use to.

The lack of radar is quite negative point. Not coz of MRCC but coz of SBC. Hopefully the SCBS can work also on highway speeds somewhat.

2.0T? are you sure?

typo. Thanks for the correction

Only 2.5T is AWD now, yes the braking required extra effort. Go 6 pot later when u really cannot tahan 😄

Haha. I always kept things pretty standard. Not much crazy mods. I wish the braking is more Subaru like. But alas I need a smaller suv. My other choices is cx30, cross, hrv n Tiguan. All got their pros n cons

Any particular reason u don't opt for the Subaru?

I should clarify I already own the SK Subaru Forester. Bought before the free SST ended. I'm now buying the CX5 in addition to that. So my basis of comparison is directly to the Subaru as I have been driving that for the past few months.

Wah.. why do you buy such similar cars.? Curious.

Forester is a little bit longer. Less maneuverable in tight spaces. It's used as a family car now. Great space inside. Windows so big too. Drive excellently. Power is adequate for most things. As long as u drive sanely.

But I needed another car when out by myself. N my current cars are getting old. So I wan to trade in those n get an SUV for myself. My requirements is for safety first. Subaru actually fullfil all. The Eyesight system is really good. Mazda is less capable but I don't want to go get another Subaru like XV. Want to try something new.

Tiguan no ADAS. Cross got stupid leg brake. Hrv, honda refuse to have 360 camera n blind spot monitor. Also head room y so less.. I'm 175cm. I go test the cx30 also feel small. I don't feel like buying Korean. So cx5 is 2nd best option.

What about CRV? It should be the correct competitor instead of HRV.

CRV is close to Forester in length. I want something a bit shorter. So easier to get out of tight spaces when ppl double park. Plus 2.5T man.

Inb4 sell both get glc

Heard you go for 2.5T right?

As a reminder, 2.5T fuel consumption is at high side compare to your Forester.

Even I light foot only can get 9-9.2km/liter, so is around 10-11L/100km.

yeah. i expected the consumption to be on the high side. the forester if i drive normal is about 8.8L/100km. Its quite a rev happy engine if u step on it but unfortunately up there, there is no power to be found

i didnt get to test the actual 2.5T unfortunately. so i cant say how it feels yet. I test drove the 2.2d, its just feels like a big cc NA engine. Not particularly hard pulling like the other turbos i drove before that pulls hard at peak torque. Maybe has something to do with the car heavy weight that numbs the feel.

So lucky you can get a test drive unit from Mazda

I visited few showroom all didn't have car for me to test drive

so.. does everyone here change their gb ATF outside?

or just play gamble 100k warranty? hmmm

I do changed mine outside every 30k km mileage. Ain't gonna gamble something that will cost like 20k to repair while ATF oil cost like 200 to change
