Im wondering if the additional specs on the 2.0 AT variant worth 75 -100k? Dealers can give that much discount for the 2013 variant which makes me think if leather seats + istop + rear camera is worth it. I was already planning to buy one when I heard there's a newer model. Thanks

Question din sa mga naka AWD - useful technology ba ung i-stop? Kasi parang naiisip ko, madaling bibigay ang battery dahil jan eh, kahit pa sabihin mong special battery xa...
i-Stop or idle stop / auto start stop is not a new technology. Euros have been offering similar technology for so many years already. By this time, battery manufacturers would have perfected their end of the tech loop already.
Also, what sets Mazda's i-Stop apart is that it relies on combustion (that's why the pistons line-up at the middle of their cylinders), and not on the starter motor.
i-Stop is absolutely, positively brilliant. In the right conditions, it can make a 1-2 km/l difference in stop-and-go traffic. Some people find the shudder at restart annoying, but I don't mind it. Every time I hear the motor turn off, I smile, because I know I'm saving gas.![]()
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
You have the option naman to disable ur i-stop, where I live di naman ganon ka-grabe traffic so if ever I chance to be on a stop light I don't press the break pedal that hard para huwag mag-activate i-stop but I really like the tech.
Anyway guys, what would you recommend for gps nav na babagay sa ating CX5? I'm not planning on replacing the HU, un portable lang and at least 5inch screen sana. Thanks in advance
Same here, I almost don't notice the i-stop working which is a good thing.
Regarding GPS, I just bought a Garmin (forgot model number) at a motorbike accessory shop beside BMW Autohaus in Libis. I'm pleasantly surprised how detailed the map iand it comes with an analogue TV feature (good when in traffic jams). Plus map updates are available for free download. There are other cheaper Garmin models but I got the top of the line unit.
Try Waze. Its available in android and iOS. It gives you real-time traffic info from other users who are using the app. You have to be connected to the internet to get traffic updates. It even factors in the traffic info that other users upload to its servers when it's suggesting the fastest route and computing your estimate time of arrival at you destination. I also have a garmin nuvi 2575 w/ a 5" screen but when I tried waze, I rarely use my garmin anymore.
*ser JohnM, welcome po.
*ser LRTan, i like ur term "Poison" haha.

Any recommended dealers and SAs? We are planning to buy my sister a CX-5 that will replace her JazzAny feedbacks will be appreciated. Thanks!
