yesterday my SA inform if i want to change to Silver or White, they got ready stock. ive been waiting DCB since 19 May, then now ask me to change. If i want to change, i would have changed even before raya already. aiyokk...

inform me once you get. if you get faster then me, i want to curse the SA kaw2. hahaha

Saw FB post, someone able to activate the SCBC-R and the High Beam Control for 2.0 and 2.5 GLS at a very reasonably price. Any takers? huhu

my SA got ready stock DCB 2.0 GLS. anyone want his contact can PM me.

Finally got my car. Booked in May 2018 from Mazda Banting. But last 2 weeks i changed to MB Motorsport since they got ready stock for 2.0GLS DCB. Their service is damn good they even able to arrange the bank come to my workplace to sign the docs since my original loan already expired.

Anyone wants MB Motorsport MD contact can PM me. Very efficient job done. Now only i know buy car got money no use. Still need to have contact 1. Haha

Just sharing some experience driving the CX5 for 1st few days. Mine is 2.0GLS model.

1) I like how they system is intelligent enough to let you to control if you want to engage the auto hold and i-stop based on the brake pressure when you press the brake pedal upon stopping. I don't see any reason why need to deactivate the the i-stop when you have full control to activate it or not based on the situation.

2) Decent amount of power for 2.0 model. Accelerating to 150km/h was not an issue. in fact you'll never realize you've driven that fast if not by looking at the speedometer. Never need to change to sport mode so far. But upon testing the sport mode, it just revs the rpm higher. I don't notice any improvement on throttle response. But it was a short testing only. Will try again soon.

3) GVC is over rated. Yes, it works. But i think it helps at a very minimum level. I think only driver could feel the difference but the passengers won't feel any difference.

4) NVH is so damn good. Cruising at 150km/h is not an issue. The car is very stable. The road and wind noise is very minimum.
My dad drives the new CRV. I occasionally drive his car and obviously CX5 cabin is better insulated and isolated. It might not be the best in its class(I haven't drive the Tiguan yet) but sure one of the top in its class.

5) Handling is superb. CX5 is able to handle any low speed and high speed cornering without any problem and hassle. The steering responds was accurate and not much correction needed(might be due to GVC helps to normalize the weight balance of the car).

6) Built in navigation is so bad. A lot of POI is missing. Many address can't be searched. When I searched online, found that it is using Tom Tom GPS. There are tutorial to update the map our self. Will give it a try and see if the map improves. Overall Mazda infotainment system control is good. Very easy to use. All information is easily accessible via the rotary knob.

Overall, the car is perfect if huge space is not a main concern. I use the car daily with my wife and 2 kids(both sitting in car seat) and found the space amount is sufficient for me. If I were to describe the car in 1 sentence, it will be - WORTH EVERY PENNY.

thanks for the insights.

i will go for android auto anyday. it is specifically designed to assist the driver without much interference. The android interface on the other hand is designed for tab/phone. so the interface itself doesn't really suit the driving assistance. and i don't think we really need to watch movies or youtube upon driving. huhu

Not easy to DIY for the new HU firmware now. need to open the dashboard and unmount the head unit to get access to the USB port. need to connect to PC and unlock the USB then only can install the mazda AIO and the android auto. for me, i rather pay RM400 to get someone experienced to do it rather than DIY and end up damaging anything. huhu

1.6K is like high end android box + 42" LED TV already. huhu

mine need to press 4 times. hahaha

i joined the mccm 1. but left after a while. they all discussing about politics inside there.. not much about the car.. huhu

mine quite light footed. around 14km/l. 640km++ per tank.

mine is like 2+2. so far ok la.. but not using it much. prefer to press the button on the boot itself.. yes. the dedicated button is best...

so far all my full tank above 600km. worst 1 was 604km but that 1 i spent almost 2 hours in car with engine running waiting at airport. huhu

Should be able to get even more that 100km since the petrol signal lit up. i filled up when the needle is on the final marking and never get to fill up more than 51litres. the tank capacity is 56litres right?

why wait when can get now? huhuhu

AIO tweak. Really easy to use. Everything can be controlled using the knob..

bro, your lane keeping assist include steering intervention? or just the warning?

keep key fob inside the car.
