Subaru XV v Mazda CX-5

[April_Ryan]

Hi all,

I've narrowed down my choices between the following:

1. Subaru XV 2.0i (base model) P1.348M with 60K cash discount + Crosstex kits worth 60K; or
2. Mazda CX-5 FWD Pro P1.55M with no discount but with Yojin 3.

The things going for the CX-5 and the extra 200K (roughly):

1. It's the latest model, unlike the XV which will be replaced by the 2nd gen XV by the end of the year;
2. Bigger vehicle;
3. Rear camera;
4. Electric (push button) parking brake;
5. i-stop idling system; and
6. Skyactiv

What do you think are the advantages of the XV apart from the price?

1. AWD instead of FWD;
2. Better safety features?


Thoughts?

I'd go with the CX5 over the XV.

Why not the Forester 2.0i-L?

I asked about that. The 200k "discount" is actually associated with in-house financing. So, it's essentially not as good as it sounds. This is still available even now.

I'm coming from an earlier gen Forester. Paiba naman

The Forester XT and CX5 2.5 cost roughly the same. Hands down XT - the power and space are amazing. It's also a true AWD that can handle difficult terrain.

I drive a CX-5 2.0 base model and satisfied naman ako overall, specially yung sa likod kapag nag-go-grocery maluwag talaga ang space. And of course yojin3 naka 1.5 years na akong walang bayad sa maintenance. Confirmed na maganda ang handling, kahit winding yung road di ako nagme-menor ng todo, parang sedan lang.
Yung VX ng officemate ko parang masikip sa loob at maliit lang trunk space pareho ng mitsu asx.

*therightone - if you're considering the CX5 2.5L AWD, you might as well consider the Forester XT. Subaru usually offers an 80k discount thus bringing the price of the Forester XT almost same as the CX5 2.5L AWD.

Naisip ko rin na closer na ang price ng CX5 2.5L AWD to the XT, pero since you get free PMS for 3 years with Yojin 3 and I also assume similar or maybe cheaper ang long term maintenance both brands or baka masmura kaunti si Mazda.

Isa pa is mas future proof ang CX-5 kaysa sa XT considering the price.... next year most likely refresh pa rin naman ang Forester.

The "all-new" CX5 still doesn't appeal to me as much as the FXT. The turbo engine paired with that chassis is sublime. If the engine doesn't matter much to you, then I guess that's why you're more drawn to the CX5.

If you really like the CX5, then go for it.

hehe far from it really... just weighing pros and cons. Need to test drive and compare them properly first.

If cost is a consideration, then go for the yojin3. Subaru cars are expensive to maintain.

The CX5 AWD was a serious consideration for us last year. However, the Forester has a bigger interior and trunk compared to the CX5. The CX5 feels more plush inside though but I like the more utilitarian demeanor of the Forester. In terms of performance though, the FXT just trumps the competition. The CX5 offers sharper handling but the FXT offers ample grip, very quick acceleration, and can be utterly fast when needed.

By the way, Motor Image (local Subie dealership) allows you to bring your own oil and parts at a small corkage fee.

Yang engine na yan talaga nga

Good to know about the oil/parts thing sa dealership.

I backread a bit sa Forester and CX-5 thread and surprised to know na some people pay upwards of P30-40K for regular PMS sa casa pag higher mileage na...

I think PMS and change CVT trans fluid etc. for 40K KM ng Forester almost P30,000 ata daw quote?
Then nabasa ko naman for CX-5 yun quote daw for 80K KM PMS is I think P60,000?

Haha hindi ko alam kung outdated na ba ako pero I never once reached more than P10K on regular PMS sa casa before, umabot ako ng 120K KM sa 2006 ford Ranger and I believe 30K KM sa ford everest 2011....

Ganyan naba talaga kamahal ang PMS ngayon for modern cars?

Were your Ford Ranger and Ford Everest automatic and four wheel drive? ... Automatic transmissions specially CVT are more expensive to maintain than manual transmissions ... four wheel drive vehicles require more oil for maintenance ...

What??? CX-5 regular PMS Shell oils lang ang gamit. Kahit pa high end and oil filter at spark plugs di aabot ng ganyan ang presyo. After yojin 3 is over I'll just bring the CX-5 to my regular Shell station
