I have driven my uncle's CX8 and it doesn't feel like a Mazda at all blink.gif it somehow just feel disconnected in a way and every time you accelerate, you feel as if the front is dragging the back along. steering feel is also a bit numb and the suspension is acceptable.

the funny thing is that the CX9 (although larger in size) drives better than the CX9, it just feels more "cohesive".

It just a SUV. For grip or more better corner, have to take sedan car biggrin.gif
Almost all SUV sold here had massive tyre gap to body, example x70, CRV. While Tiguan and Mercedes SUV GLE, GLC had less gap between tyre - body.
wide gap for me make the car roll to high on corner.

Considering the price, Bermaz should at least make it extra vs the cx5. Last time cx8 did not get any digital speedometer, now get. Why not give bigger screen HU considering this is more premium and expansive than cx5.

It is what it is...

I don't think CX8 is any more premium than CX5. It is just an elongated CX5 like what Peugeot 5008 is to Peugeot 3008 or
Tiguan allspace with Tiguan , etc.

More expansive merely because of extra seats?!

The really premium is upcoming CX60 and CX80, bet that one will have more premium stuff

It really more expansive than a cx5, it is not a cbu, ckd model as well, hence a similar tax bracket. Bermaz should have a look for the cx8 added features to differentiate vs cx5. this one interior all 100% same as per cx5, except extra seat for that price.

other regions got a bigger HU for cx8 for an instant, a brand new version HU is welcome considering a more price tag. Last, Bermaz should consider to join other manufacturers game, by giving unlimited mileage 5 years warranty as opposed 100k km capped for 2022 already
