Guys, im interested to buy CX5, 2.0High.. thats the most i can go with my current salary...

Any opinion/ownership experience/warning, all are welcome. Thanks

Ask for more discounts from SA.

CX-5 not selling well.

Reliability wise, the engine is reliable.

5 years / 100k km free service, so no worries there when it comes to servicing costs

2.0 is slow but slightly better fc than the 2.5.

need to take note of suspension issue (bushing wear iinm), i think this is the most common issue with CX5

other than that the 2.0 engine is reliable. most issues with CX5 happen with the 2.2D and 2.5T engine

Bermaz officially dont provide ATF fluid change at all, and they discourage you from doing it within warranty period. If you paranoid or high mileage user can change outside, but need to be careful about it

If you dont need extra space or practicality I recommend CX-30 instead

wife's 2.0 High one year old, so far so good..

the only thing i wish is the headunit/360/reverse cam to be clearer.. other than that, comfortable car.

Personally it is getting old with the design and the current gen is more towards cost savings. FYI, My cousin just cancel the order after knewing the new facelift model coming in next year (2026). The Mazda SC personally tell him to wait.

Can google the latest CX5 facelift news, one of the reason my cousin wait is there is improvement in term of interior space as one of the weakness of Mazda cars is this.

Buy if u can't wait

Otherwise wait for all new CX-5

mazda msia service sucks

This this this. Best to call/whatapps several SA from many branches and ask straight whats the rebate. Family bought CX5 in 2020 when this car were peak on sales, and one SA in Mazda Ulu Kelang Ampang - Act-Chievers Sdn Bhd give rm2k cash rebates, while most SA said only give full tank

The HU just outdated. And if 2.0 NA, felt underpower at Karak highway. Maybe mine used to drive 1.8T and 2.4Na car

Besides the above, cx5 lower arm bush macam quality kelaut.. Claim new one after 6 months on the road

If you can wait, get the new CX-5 next year

With so many SUVs in the market including Chinese SUV EVs which have more features and are cheaper why do you insist on an outdated, underpowered and overpriced CX-5? Even the new X50 is a better buy. It's your money but I'm genuinely interested in your rationale.

top up a bit get the cx60

Reliability & driving dynamics

It is good to drive, in fact nice to drive. Quite reliable. Worry-free until 100k km. Nothing to pay during service, except, wear and tear items like wiper blades, v-belt, tires and brake pads. Good experience with mazda service. However, this model is near the end of the horizon. A bit dated, but still looks good.

wait for next model unless really have to change :-)

If for long term like 10~15 years ownership, Japanese car still fare better. Recently heard from my mechanic a lot of X50/X70 early batch plastic parts start to brittle easily, even Japanese car with more than 10 years very less heard of this happen.

Mazda cars are a headturner..

Chinese SUVs will only get you a smirk..
