Toyota might be famous with comfortable ride… but Mazda has overall package… we are very happy with our 2019 CX-9 2.5t AWD - CBU and 2021 CX-5 2.5t AWD too… we have an 2018 CR-V 1.5TCP 2WD with Honda Sensing too…

@YSKhongDriving Жыл бұрын
Sports mode allows the revs to go higher and gives more power to the engine, needed for the climb. Coming down you can use any mode, but be careful not to over use the brakes.

@YSKhongDriving Жыл бұрын
There is the Mazda CX5 2WD and AWD. Trim levels and geatures are also different. There is also an option of 2.0, 2.5,and 2.5 turbo, and also fwd and awd. The Forester is also a great vehicle, and is AWD. The Mazda CC range comes with 6 speed auto while the Subaru is CVT. So one should choose a behicle from the packaging, the features that appeal to you, interior space, creature comforts, etc.

hi uncle, having driven this 2.5T and 2.2D, which one should i pick for long term use? i'm leaning towards 2.2D more due to the fuel efficiency, sadly the variant is now FWD. Is it really a total loss for not having AWD? or FWD works just fine. Thanks uncle!
@jasonkok9942 Жыл бұрын
guess 2.5t will be the best choice… we had an 2019 CX-9 2.5t AWD and 2021 CX-5 2.5t AWD… both work effortlessly… 2.2D might save u up in fuels and a slightly more torQue but in long run… diesels are well known for expensive repair bills
@YSKhongDriving Жыл бұрын
If you do on road travel, fwd is fine. Anyway, Mazda engines have very little difference between diesel and petrol. Nowadays, the price of petrol abd diesel is similar, and also the roadtax is the same be it petrol or diesel In my opinion, there is very little difference in normal driving. If you like awd, go for the petrol

Diesel will make you feel like a lorry, if you don't mind about the tik sound and smell, the 2.2D will be safer in term of driving cost?
