Me Dealer's Incentive ba sa Mazda?

I inquired in Mazda Otis and the SA told me that it's around 2-2.5% for them.

Nice FC sir. What is your route? Thanks

I get about 11.5km/l mixed so far in 3k kms clocked in the odo. I think it would still improve in FWD.

I'm not from Manila so usual route is mixed city traffic and straight highways (StarTollway). Mind you that the traffic situation in my province (Batangas) is already at par with Manila, he he. I'm still in the process of monitoring its FC. Hopefully I can get better.

To CX5 owners, what gasolina do you use?
I read in the manual that for PH the 2.0 Pro and AWD 2.5 “perform best” with regular unleaded 90 octane or higher.
I’m wondering if
- using premium (eg Petron XCS or Shell 95) would harm the engine
- using premium would show a perceptible improvement in performance (power, smoothness).

I am inclined to use premium because of a a positive experience using XCS in a previous gen CRV.

Any thoughts/experiences on the CX5 would be appreciated.

Yup, just use Shell Fuelsave Gas. Waste of money for no returns if you go higher now. Only the 2.5L Turbo found on the current gen CX-9 has that dual performance attribute when higher RON fuel is used out of the gate. In a few years time, maybe.

Fill up method, sir? Impressive![emoji106]

All of them are fill up method excluding the Baguio measurement. I relied on the dash FAC readings though I find them very accurate naman.

Mine is. Si Cocoboy is gas.

I tried the TALISAY-TAGAYTAY zigzag road then went down via Sta Rosa in full Sports mode and surprised to get 10.8km. There was one steep curve going up and I tried lightly flooring the throttle to overtake a slow moving car, kumayod pa ng konti he he and tire screached. Was watching my rpm at 2k then when floored, sumipa sya, hayun naiwan yung sinusudan ko. Impressed with engine response. I was by myself.

I've gotta try that! There's this road alum going to Infanta. Non stop curves and winding road. Mabuti hindi ka bitin sa shifting in automatic mode? Ako medjo bitin ako so after 2 weeks of getting the feel of the gears, I can maximize the manual mode. It's a whole new ballgame in manual mode. No more latency issues with the shifting.

Incidentally did you guys know that our automatic Tammy also has a learning curve in reference to our method of driving?

The ECU is adaptive.
For even more fun, you can hook up paddles like I did the M2, but gotta get a steering wheel back cover that accomodates paddles to fit the new CX steering. A calculated guess would be the 2017 BN 3's steering back cover. Other parts needed shown below.

I did a minimal research on that too! [emoji1] Its been done nga with Mazda 3 and the gen 1 CX-5. I haven't driven a paddle shift aggressively before so it's faster to shift using those. Will the 1st gen CX-5 or the 2017 M3 paddle shifter fit?

They should fit....you'll just need the new back cover w/ slots for paddles that would mate to the new steering wheel design. Looking at both the 2017 BN3 & your CX, they seem to share the same wheel. The paddles look the same as the 2014-16 BM3, too.

Most modern automatic transmissions are like that ...

Congrats sir!

Thanks for the heads-up. Yeah I didn't know that most of them have that na. I thought very limited brands and models lang.
