Mazda 5 - requesting owners feedback

[Carnewbie79]

Nice...

 

Great deal for a March 2016 trade at this price.

 

Those who got the $38K COE are actually those January 2016 trades who paid for $50K COE pricing.

There should have been Coe rebate though no?

I'm not sure of the rebate level.

I bought it at $103,888 after the fall.

sure bro! What were your loots? Remember to share tb links. I am thinking of below:

1) LED scuff plate 

2) Boot cover (should be friendly to the last row)

3) LED + Fog light

4) Cruise control plus additional remote buttons on steering wheel - can't find much online, need kind bro to recommend 

5) Push start - can't find much online, need kind bro to recommend 

 

Unsure whether installation of above (other than item 2) will void warranty.

All items you mentioned, except for Item 2, will definitely void warranty. However, I've done Item 1 on the 3rd day of car collection already. Haha... and just in case you don't know, Item 3 DRL is illegal. As for Item 4, even if you can find it, I'm not sure whether our M5 here is able to be installed with cruise control. But I noticed that those pre-SkyActiv M5 SP versions have the cruise control buttons.

If warranty is a concern and wanted your ride to look good/ outstanding, fitting a set of nice 18" wheels alone will solve both issues.

Hi Weewee!

May i know where did you install your led scuff plates and how much did it cost? I did ask around and they told me out of stock or stop production? I was offered just normal scuff plates instead.

 

Thank you.

 Like the boot mat ... anyone getting it can include me ... what is the cost of it? Currently I am using a recycle boot mat from my previous sedan.

I got it from Taobao and installed at my usual audio installer.

[Carnewbie79]

Anyone got boot cargo liners for their m5? Especially those that covers the back of 3rd row seats and can split?

Hi everyone,

 

It was fun reading posts and gathering information from all you nice folks.

Got my M5 about a month ago at 113,888 with COE38K.

 

Did the boot cover and non led scuff plate after buying in from TB.

Changed to 17" advan rim with toyo rubbers.

FC suffered and I dun go high that much.

FC is only 13.5 /100 km and after looking at everyone's FC mine was lowest.

 

First 1K check done yesterday and tech guy said everything is okay with car. :(

 

I am interested in group meet up and have been to mazda meetup once but my friend & I was the only M5 there.

Would love it if all M5 owners interested would meet up and have a chat over kopi.

 

Staying at macpherson :)

Hi Jer, 

Not to worry your FC, your FC is not stable yet with just a month, it will become lower once you hit more highway .....

Mine should be the worst, as i have 18" rim and install RS chip. 

mine is 12.9 /100 km ..on mileage 48 K liao ....

I am staying at the west area ...
