Isofix is only available for second row.

Thanks for the input.
I guess most, if not all SUVs (6-seaters or 7-seaters) are like that. Hmphhh, let me think how do I go about this then.

Yeah, I guess is because safety reason. The second row isofix is way more safety than third row due to too close to the boot lid. Also, second row is more spacious to fit child seat easily.

apparently cx8 price will be up by 2.5k beginning of jun next year.

Any owners who can share their experience? Still pretty much interested to get a CX8, somewhere Q2 this year.

How's the Advanced Safety Technologies? LDWS + LAS + SCBS = semi auto pilot, similar to that found in the new Volvo lineup?

High end SUVs have ISOFIX for third rows. Example, Audi Q7.

Driving experience is so far so good. Currently 3000km++, daily drive Monday to Friday to work, daily 80km, fuel consumption reached 12.3km/l.

I think you compare the wrong car, as you said Q7 is high end SUV and CX 8 not. It is different league.

U are driving the Petrol or Diesel variant ...
beside the fuel consumption, any complain so far on the car?
I'm eye-ing this car too but Petrol version.

Not me, it is my wife driven. It is 2.2D, she like it a lot. The only complaint for me is that it is too tall. I'm not used to it. I occasionally drove it.

Now the FC is 12.6km/l. I think maybe the max for this car because stay at that rate for quite some times now. Or is easy to drop to 12.5km/l when enter housing area.

Any latest promo for this CX-8? Latest promo beside the usual 5 years warranty and 5 years free service.

Without the toneau cover for the boot area, how do people go about it? Tint the back windows to maximum darkness and hope that no one can peeks inside to see if there is anything valuable?

Planning to pull the trigger for this car, but this is one of my concerns....hmphhhh

I guess I'm so used to throwing my laptop bag into my current car boot after work. Will just leave it there in the car while I go to a mall for shopping or dinner.

But with the car boot exposed in the CX-8.....
Is there any after market solution for this that you are aware of?

I think you are very wrong on this. It is always highly recommended that valuable items cannot put inside the car. Even sedan also not safe. You can read many cases on the internet in the past. They have device to detect the laptop inside the car regardless they saw it or not. The only way to cover up is tint black from second row until rear windows. Second row got sunshade can further reduce the visibility. Now law can allow it. I tint black is for the comfort of passenger not cover the valuable things inside.

There is a hidden compartment under the boot.

Yeap, am aware it's not safe to put valuables in the boot. Let me correct my statement a bit. Besides the laptop bag, I also have 2 pairs of business shoes, 1 casual pair of shoes, gym bag and also work related equipment. Thus, besides laptop bag, it's also more of having the other items exposed. Probably not really valuable but am worried people seeing a gym bag might get other people curious on what's inside and thus, the car break-in cases.

Thanks for the tip. Will check out the space next time I head to the showroom.

Yalor, forgot this hidden area haha

The interior also crappy like mazda cx5?

can cx8 upgrade to mrcc ?

Got $$ anything also can. CX5 mrcc 6k
