Well, the excitement of removing the plastics... still, brand new is brand new. The scent of a brand new leather and others is still there.

Now if I may ask, do you know any "scent" that smells "brand new"? I'm using Microtex and Mothers but those have different scents.

That's why it's best to clean those interiors as soon as your new car is released from the casa.

Thank you for the reference. I didn't know those smells come from different toxic chemicals. Just now, my wife complained about having a headache. I really don't know for me, but just after reading the four articles I now felt dizzy.

Good thing I asked my son to clean the interior after two weeks. Yesterday, I also cleaned the interior. I'll keep this in mind, open all windows and let air rush through before driving. I do hope to practice this for the next six months.

I got my CX5 PRO machine grey first week of Dec but only managed to drive recently (5 weeks waiting), 450 km as of now, so far so good.

Recently had it tinted (I did not avail of the free tint since I'm planning to have a different tint brand from what the casa offer) using Non Plus Ultra, heat rejection is good even after 3 hours in the sun from 12nn to 3pm using 35 VLT.

Doing the CTEK charging now.

I used to owned a 323 (Familia) back in '98. Then switched to Toyota (Innova) and Honda (CRV) . With the decision to get a CX5 . . . all smiles!

Wasn't paying that much attention when they installed the SD card for the navi.. would anyone know how frequent the updates are for the maps? And it's free for the next 3 years? TIA

Just found out that my friend's Honda Odyssey has a similar feature as the iStop which is called the Idle-Stop. Same concept but why is the Odyssey's battery just the ordinary 1 sm battery?
