Just had a quick test spin in the CX-5 yesterday. Ride was ok - was concerned about lack of power but drive was too short to confirm or dispel either way. What I was most disappointed about was the NVH of the vehicle. There was quite a lot of road rumble from the 17" tyres even at quite low speeds. The Honda CRV(2006 model) was supposed to be quite bad in this respect but I thought the CX-5 was noisier. Any new owners care to comment?? Haven't had a chance to try out the new CRV yet so can't compare notes.
Had a quick look at the Mazda 6 also and the interior is remarkably similar! Headroom in rear is a bit limited as my head was almost touching the roof lining. A very attractive car indeed!

I booked CX-5 few months ago and still waiting for delivery. Now, I read new Ford Escape is going to launch in Qtr 2 this year, and after reading the review, I'm considering changing to new Ford Escape instead which the reviewer give slightly higher rating.
Can any CX-5 owner give feedback did you experience the following dislikes especially on lack of power and noise?
Dislikes:
Engine lacks power when you need it
Hard acceleration gets noisy
Rear quarter vision minimal
Six airbags seems sub-par these days

I am currently driving the new M6 2.5 and enjoying the ride every moment. However, I did test drive the CX5. I personally did not find the engine noisy during hard rev. As for power, the car ISN''T underpowered, switching to manual you will feel the pickup. Just that in auto mode, the gear ratios are programmed to be fuel efficient, hence lack of zoom-zoom feeling.
6 airbags are std these days.
I personally wasn't that affected by the rear vision.
The cabin and dash board for both CX5 and M6 does look drabby compared to the 2nd gen M6. If they can add some dash of color to match the masculine looks of the car, they have a winning strategy. Maybe something they should seriously consider during facelift?
By the way, CX5 is Japanese car of the year for 2012 and 2013, so it speaks for itself.

Till now there is still not news. I had just been called to start to bid for any preferenced number first for car registration number, though there is still not assurance of any unit available.
Just wonder why all this hassle upfront, if there is still not assurance of any unit available at the moment.
Maybe the SA just intends to make it more difficuit to cancel the booking later because the car order may drop a lot after the coming GE or more intense competition with other new car models launched later of the year - eg, Ford Kuga.
