Hi.

I just paid the deposit and signed the loan for the car. i am picking up next week my new CX-5 2.0L GLS (Meteor Gray). Booked since 16th July and got the car one month later, SA said i am lucky coz of high competitor from GST holiday shoppers.

Do you guys have a checklist i should carry along during the pick up of car? anything i should look out for?

Usually how long does the demonstration for new car will take? by current SA the service not that good and he tends to rush things, hence i need some preparation and advise.

tq bros

Can other verify this? It is very different from what stated in website:

Theft-Deterrent System

that's too sad.

thank you duckies sir!

Hi, can i get help to clear a rumor, i plan to drive my new CX-5 up genting. But i have heard someone said new car cannot push it too hard and drive up hill, can you guys tech expert give me some insight and advise?

thanks

Thanks bro for sharing. But it did not mention about going up hill (mountain hill) as do or don’t.

I will take it as a don’t first until someone says otherwise then.

Thanks

I saw a video from YouTube for euro ncap cx-5. The bumper is design to be elastic and softer due to pedestrians crash reducing impact.

I don’t see that as a problem as long as it bounces back up immediately on light pressing.

Thanks for advise guys.

Yes, i got my CX-5 too yesterday. My impression similarly:

1. I-Stop has this jerk when i press on brake during traffic light, air cond -50% power and resume to normal after a while. Not sure the benefit does outweigh the nuisance here?

2. When going down hill, press slightly harder on brake, i do hear the tuk-tuk-tuk sound

3. The back bumper really kinda soft, softer than my previous Vios. So be careful when loading stuff and watch out for the knee.

But the plus points to this car indeed makes it a solid ride: the looks (saw a lot heads turning), the torque, the handling, the feel etc.

btw may i ask what is the recommended tyre pressure, back and front?

Damage from highway, eg, plus, you can claim from them

Just start the car and zoom zoom immediately. I never waited for 1 minute. All the cars I drove engine was fine and never got damage. (Touch wood). So far my Cx-5 in the morning start up at reasonable noise. Same throughout the day.

Waiting for car to heat up only apply if you live in cold country. The morning temperature of 25c and above is just nice and don’t think it will effect the car.

If your car is vibrating or have louder noise, bring it to service Centre instead

I feel this Konica Minolta Skytint is passable, just took me 1 minute to cool car (i toggle to 20c aircond on auto). If i need privacy, maybe i will just get that sunshades. changing a new tint really waste of 1.5k worth of tint IMO.

Yes tuk tuk tuk sound

pressing the brake harder = tuk tuk tuk

slamming the brake due to emergency = no sound except screeching of tyre on floor (short distance) for emergency brake which is normal

i guess it is a design flaw which does not effect the performance. I will just highlight to the service centre during my first 1000 and won't expect any immediate replacement. it only happen maybe 1/100 times i brake

GLS = LED sweet
GL = halogen, no no no no no

Your GLS has front parking camera? Why my one don't have? Kena conned by different showroom?

i suspected that

Bro I think u compare to wrong car. You should consider between BMW X5 and Audi Q5.

CX-5 is different game

GL too kosong. If you have budget concern just increase to 9yrs for that GLS..
