all the money saved from PMS will break even for the battery cost.

Ouch! Same kaya din sila ng battery ng Mazda 6? We're planning to get one kasi in a month or so.

Baka naman pwede gamitin ang local battery with the same size and capacity pero kung madetect ng ECU na di sya compatible di lang gagana ang iStop.

as per technical of berjaya, it cant be use. pero hindi ko natanong kung pag ordinary ang battery, mawawala lang ba ang istop feature ng sasakyan. kasi pwede naman i-off ang istop with a simple push of a button

Hmmm.... that seems to be a hassle...
I wouldn't mind not being able to use Istop...
If I do get the CX5, I intent to turn of Istop all the time...
As good as this technologly is... I still don't think its as reliable as they say.... for now that is ....

*c_cube - how did you contact berjaya technical? is it their local mazda fb account?
if a local battery will just make istop deactivate... okay na yun....

yesterday im talking thru phone with an agent. then i asked regarding the battery, she said that technical from berjaya is there conducting training (i think) then she asked them personally and that was the feedback given.

i think this agent is reliable because she dont answer randomly if she's not sure. she also informed me that the AWD is on demand only not the other agent i talked with saying it's all the time.

Hi,

I'm contemplating to trade my City to either CX-5 2.0 AT or Montero GLX 2.5 AT. My primary reason for converting are
1. City is too lowered for our community. Humps in our place are to high.
2. I need a bigger compartment space to accommodate delivery boxes for my business

The new headturner looks and size of CX-5 is exactly what I wanted for an SUV. I'm also thinking since it's more subcompact I won't have so much adjustments driving and parking it. I'm not an expert driver. However for a cheaper value, I can already get a Montero which becomes cheaper because of its diesel engine. It will also fit more delivery boxes which I will be having more often when stocks for my shops arrive. How many balikbayan boxes do you think CX-5 can accommodate? Hope you guys can help me.
