Hi guys...anyone has info. on the waiting time for the CX-5 models? I booked the 2.2D in late August:-) Thanks...

Thanks for the reply, bro. Hoping to test drive the 2.2d and the 2.5GLS tomorrow...:-)

Cheers to all!

Yup Glenmarie... Thanks for the tips. Will check it out with both models as available. Yours is a 2.2d right?

Ok will do, bro. Have read so much about the car. Can’t wait to try them out:-)

Ok friends...some update on my test drive of both the 2.5GLS and the 2.2D yesterday just before noon. I arrived a little late and wanted to test the 2 models so I didn't ask the SA to take the highway route (perhaps just as well cos traffic was heavy by the time I left Glenmarie).

I took more or less the same route with both cars for comparing the feel and slow/fast speeds. Perhaps it's me but the 2.2D felt "heavier and more planted"...a bit like a conti than the 2.5GLS. Of course, the low-end torque was clear with the diesel. While both w\cars were relatively quiet at normal speeds, the 2.5 while as quick to accelerate seemed louder... Cornering also seemed better controlled with the 2.2D (as with the 3008 I also tested later at Peugeot next door:-))

Generally felt more comfortable with the 2.2D (also with the additional features it comes with albeit at a slightly bigger price)... Called my SA in Bangi and confirmed the model:-) Now the wait... ((blue or meteor grey):-)

I'm definitely ok with diesel, bro Duckies... Like my son says, it's like the 320d, a little noisy on the outside but much quieter inside:-)

Wow...how come the 320i too sounds like that I had an old e34 525i which used to hum sweetly in full tune:-) Wondering if all F30s are indeed noisy...timing chain? Thanks for the video 'evidence' anyway, bro

My SA too just confirmed that delivery from November onward will come with power boot at additional RM2K. I booked late August.

Yup bro widget...Willing to pay the additional 2K for a factory-fitted powered tailgate with the key fob...

I think modern cars are already run in at the factory before delivery. Still no harm in taking it easy before first service as noted by all here. Waiting for my new Cx-5 still...:-)

Of course we should get back the extra money paid for the premium colour. Right guys?

Yesterday, my SA offered Sonic Silver in place of Deep Blue I asked for...no extra payment but I will wait I said:-)

Now that is very clear how we should care for our new car... Thanks bro Skeith

Hi all...
Just wondering...Interesting to see what car number plates our members here have booked for their beloved CX-5s:-)
With the state alphabet prefix/suffix as well? I’ve added my modest booking under 4-Digit Numbers below. Any objections, let’s hear them too. Or someone can get this better organized, please do. Thanks guys...:-)

1-Digit Numbers:

2-Digit Numbers:

Yup..me takut2 too. My 2.2d at around 4K km on the odo. Although it can accelerate to 180 easily, it doesn't feel as stable as my old 525i. When I was doing this speed on the highway last week, a Passat just swept past as though it was nothing for him:-)

Never tried them before but saw stabilizer cars-front and back-advertised for CX-5...wondering if they might be any good?

Yeah...you can say that again:-)

Widget, 30K already... My 2.2D around 4K from 3 November. Lower arm bush scheduled replacement or faulty? Cheers, mate:-)

Wow...a year old from CNY 2018 to CNY 2019:-) One year does sound fair for some fault with the front end bushes for what I think is a rather front-heavy SUV but after 3 months or so is too close for comfort But as you say, the warranty takes some of the pain away I agree...

Still, all said it's a great car to drive with all the available mid-range torque...

BTW Happy New Year to you and all our Chinese friends here...Gong xi fa chai! Take care when on the road, buddies
