Hi guys.. Im thinking of getting a 2021 2.0 cx-5.. Is there anything to look out for? How's the average FC for city and highway driving? Test drove it back to back with a same year CRV and driving dynamics isnlight and day. Cx-5 is planted and stable whilst CRV feels like sampan and made me giddy. Though the space is ginormous in CRV, and pick up of the 1.5T is good, i dont think i can live with the ride.
Another thing i notice is the interior cabin light in thr middle.. Eveytime i press the switch, the whole roof cover is so loose and woobly.. Is it normal?

QUOTE(Pugbunny @ Apr 18 2025, 12:48 PM) Besides the usual inspection on the vehicle, suggest to check: 1) Service record/ history 2) test drive to check on the transmission response, air-conditioning, suspension So far from what i know, CX-5 is prone to ngek ngek noise when go over the speed bump. Even more obvious after going over rain water. Sound is coming from lower arm bush. Claimable under warranty period. Thanks bro... Just took my cx5 yesterday. So far so good... Guys... Can recommend budget friendly suv tyres? I'm looking at Toyo Proxes CR1... Any review on this?

QUOTE(lee82gx @ May 9 2025, 08:09 AM) you are replacing the 0 day tyres? The car is 4.5 years old. The rear tyre nearly touching the markers already.. Asked dealer to change they say it haven't reach their minimum thickness... The front tyre still ok... Viking tyres. Things planning to do... 1. Change rear tyres 2. Change gearbox oil 3. Tinted 4. Dashcam front and back Another thing.. At idle... Is it normal for the rpm to drop a bit then up again? I could be wrong maybe it's when the AC compressor kick in that's causing this? I remember reading somewhere that can ask SC to reset system to solve this? This post has been edited by Spawnster: May 9 2025, 08:36 AM
