Just wait till end of the year if you want promo...
Since SST already implemented, no point to buy now cause you still have to wait at least 3 months to get your car 

Not me.. First Shell, then Petronas non-stop, then Shell once again.. Got lesser mileage than norm.. Then pumped Petronas back again and got highest mileage ever.. Did Shell make Petronas better?  Probably cuz it's from a different Station (first time pump there) and or I didn't vroom as much as normal.. Going to try Petron or Shell next again as out of previous gift cards. Didn't experience any loss in power delivery.

What I think you are experiencing is the oil needing its first change. I experienced the same "lack of power", but right after oil change.. Next day hit the highway and damn good pickup and feels.. Been alright since then.
2.2d and cx5 fun aside.. My earnest advice? These clears up the confusion.. Just get the CRV and be done. It checks all the boxes and so you won't regret one bit on those most important stuffs.

If rear space and boot size are your priority, get the CR-V and be done with it. Stop looking back at the CX-5.
Rear seats of CX-5 is not as spacious as CR-V or other similarly-sized SUV. On my previous 2011 Kia Sportage GT and my FIL’s 2014 CR-V, we can seat 3 adults in the rear but on the CX-5, it will be very cramped

The only way you can seat 2 adults with baby seat is by placing the baby seat in the center, and the adults have to be slim built.
I’m using Graco Slim baby seat with belt-type Isofix latch, so I am able to put the car seat in the center, but if your baby seat is using fixed isofix, you can only seat 1 adult in the rear

If you only target for space especially boot space then no doubt only CRV, CX5 boot space not much different from ASX.
Tested my colleagues New CRV and CX5, new CRV NVH pretty bad w/ rough road noise/wind noise/shaking which quite similar to my initial FL CX5 model but new CX5 NVH is awesome plus back passenger comfort mainly the GVC.

Spacious but not that comfort due to NVH issue or less spacious but perfect drive w/ optimum NVH, your own choice.
Initial FL CRV NVH much better and comfort but not sure why they degrade it in new model which could be new design so take time to improve in next FL.

From your requirement "bigger boot size, bigger cabin size", CR-V definitely fits the bill. Whether the handling and NVH is on par or lower than CX-5, you'll need to test it out to see if it's to your liking.

CX-5 is on the losing side in terms of boot size and cabin size. The rear seats fit comfortable for 2 person but a bit cramp for 3. On the other hand, the rear seats for CR-V is big enough for 4 person but you have to squeeze in a bit.

Gadget and tech wise I believe they are on par but only if you compare the highest spec of CX-5 which is the diesel variant against the CR-V TCP variant with Honda sensing.

Since you have the budget to purchase an Audi, why don't consider CX-9? It is big and powerful enough... 

Ask for real year of manufacture.. Facelift..
Nope it doesn't... Just a regular rearview cam with lines ( they don't move with the steering position)..
