How low output on paper end up over deliver?

go test drive and remember the feeling like gear shifting , acceleration, going over humps , seating position, etc etc. not everything is just horsepower

Had CX5 2.0 family car year 2020, so accustomed to Mazda engine, GB feedback from the 6 gear auto etc. For me it ok-ok at city drive, but heading Karak highway, it rev like mad cz from SUV size body, 2.0 power just nothing to shine about hence need to constantly hitting 5k rpm above.

Lack of Valve lift tech from the engine (they compensate that with higher compression) wont make it different engine sound hitting higher rpm like other car with it. So from me owning another car with 2.4L NA and 1.8T, i summarize the CX5 2.0 as underpower.

Not sure why 1.5L from Sedan will give a different feedback. If u buy the car, on any issues, best to send to Glenmarie Mazda Body and paint SC, claimed the car's steering clock spring and rear both tyre bearing. Most owner will sure kene the lower arm nyek2 sound

the lower arm sound u mentioned , after claim then fixed? what's the issue u know ?

CX-5 most common issues is the lower arm bush that will happen every few years...I sudah replace like twice in 7 years time.

Another one is the side mirror..always got 1 side cannot fold de.

Other than that it's a very solid car. Don't know about other Mazda models.

the lower arm bush what issue, crack / noise? only happens during rain or everytime

how the power? i mean pick up on a seg c car. enough?

More than enough for me. Just note I don't judge a car by just power output alone. But overall I don't feel it's slow or sluggish

Test drive civic RS 1.5 turbo, the only thing nice is the power can vroom vroom, the rest like driving experience, transmission, NVH, etc all can say same like vios (maybe marginally better only)

Don't feel like RM150k car at all

I'm still leaning towards Mazda 3 at the moment. I test drove mazda 3 again cos it's just opposite honda. This time managed to go full throttle and take a corner, the car is like planted to the ground and can corner confidently. Totally different than any car i drove so far

Sure or not? I drove both previous gen punya, vios and civic really big differences in term of driving experience.

If u say same now, meaning either civic become damn shitty or vios improve alot

Sila go test drive

yes, vios improved every since it got away with the dugong looks.
for long term ownership, ease of repair, toyota is an easy recommendation.
i've always dislike CVT gearbox but i can accept toyota CVT.

honda is nice to vrooom only.
vtec is its only redeeming feature.
other than that, civic is a pretty meh car.
