Letting go/trade-in for the CX-60
How much did you trade in for?Your method of buying/selling after the 5 year free maintenance does look like a good idea.

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. |

QUOTE(Jase @ Oct 21 2025, 02:07 PM) 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. Very good car. Has been owning a 2.0 CX-5 for 8 years. So far nothing major but the usual wear and tear. Usually the common issues are the side mirrors and lower arm bar.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. dogbert_chew and Chyan liked this post

The Bermaz dashcam has both front and rear cameras and mine currently has a 256GB microSD no issues although it's a pain to search for recordings when it fills up and the official Bermaz dashcam software is not as good as 70mai's. There is a 3rd party app that can detect the Bermaz dashcam but you've gotta pay to use their advanced features. Maple66 liked this post

This is the tint Bermaz uses: https://ice-u.com.my/activ-e/ the main drawback of this stock tint is the windscreen tint, which offers at Infrared Rejection 55% mainly and Total Solar Energy Rejection 34%. While rest windows and rear at 97% IRR. Best to just change the windscreen tint only at outside and dont remove all tint cz Mazda buyer already paid for these mandatory accessories (tint & carpet)The Bermaz dashcam has both front and rear cameras and mine currently has a 256GB microSD no issues although it's a pain to search for recordings when it fills up and the official Bermaz dashcam software is not as good as 70mai's.
