Thanks & well noted

SC quoted for changing the 2nos V belts (RM69.30 & RM150) plus labour for total of RM284

Well noted & thanks

Yes. Most SC don't allow. But some do..

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 =/

What brand battery is reliable & long lasting?
Been using 2 times Century battery. Both last only 1 year...

for mazda i-stop nothing last. I-stop is a scam to force you pay more for short lifespan battery

https://www.aesonpower.com.my/products/q85l-ss

you can try the new product claim to have 3yr lifespan

I recently saw this also. It says sodium.. Something new?

Yes new. B4 this got one brand offered with Lithium Iron Phosphate battery that in theory will last much longer, less weigh but x2 or x3 of price vs normal MF battery. So this new battery that offer the same features and with 3 years warranty and best is not so ridiculously expansive.

Noted. BTW is there a way to permanently disable the I-stop? Other than using the physical push button...
Since car is after warranty already...

Hi sifu, I’d like to ask about the CX-5 2.0 High. Are the car tints security or break-proof?
Also, does the dash cam installed by Mazda include both front and rear cameras? What’s the maximum microSD card capacity it supports?

Can anyone share their fuel consumption and reviews?

got OBD tool to disable istop. try searching shopee or lazada

the stock window tint is not security tint iinm

Which century battery u are using?

VARTA Q85 Specifications:
CCA 660
Capacity 70 Ah

Century excel Q85 Specifications:
CCA :750
Capacity 75 Ah

Energizer Q85(115D23L)
CCA 660
Capacity 70 Ah

Saw from YouTube before, the istop can be disabled with some setting

You'll need to know how to code. Not recommended for newbie.

Mazda dashcam should be for front dashcam only. Unless they include the rear cam in the promo.


Last time the SA offered either cash rm2k or rm1.5k plus rear cam. I took rm2k and bought ddpai z40 no GPS front and rear dashcam with 128GB sd card RM 334.

Long term owners,

Any issues with your CX-5?
What's the total damages in terms of wear & tear after 5 years?
Still seeing a lot of facelifted CX-5s around.

Recently tested the CX-60 from Glenmarie branch. It felt less powerful and probably a fuel guzzler too but the interior is quite plush for the price.

I've been using CX5 2.5NA for almost 5 years. So far have only paid for wear & tear items such as wipers, tires, brake pads. Items replaced under warranty - bushes, absorber mount, driver seat frame. Overall pretty solid and problem free Japanese make that drives like a conti.
Booked a CX60 and looking forward for it - test drove it and I feel the power is adequate but off course cannot compare the CX5 2.5NA as it is about 150kg lighter.

Good to hear that.
Are you letting go of your CX-5 or you're adding the CX60 into your inventory?

Letting go/trade-in for the CX-60
