Honda ZR-V can buyed??

[Laguna123]

I was deciding between CX5 and Forester. I tested drive both, and Forester gave me a much better driving experience. But CX5 can hear lesser road noise and interior more atas, but quite “shaky”. Forester has larger passenger room. But most importantly, the price gap.

CX5 is the one with 2.5L turbo? But forester got bigger space for passengers? How come Forester better driving experience? I saw YT review, many praise CX5 for the good driving experience especially during turning?

No lah CX5 is the 2L mild hybrid, same like forester. For me, Forester has a

1. Smoother moving

2. Braking feels more progressive. CX5 step a little then the brake came in hard.

3. Somehow i can hear the “da da da da da” engine sound. Quite irritating for me. After that i checked with my friend who is driving mazda now said its like that. Will have the “da da da” noise but its normal.

4. My family sitting behind during CX5 during test drive told me they felt quite “dizzy” behind. I did feel “shaky” at the driver seat also. Forester is smooth, no such issue.

5. Turning wise, i no feel, so guess no difference.

6. Mazda interior is “conti” feel, more atas than Forester for sure. But Forester has sun roof haha, although not a game breaker.

All above based on 15 mins test drive so take it with a pinch of salt.

Wah the “da da da da” sound and shaky feel quite turn off already.

Oh yah, I was looking at the Forestor 2.0 AWD with EyeSight, looks... good actually. My colleague was looking at it and I went to kaypoh also.

New model full hybrid coming this year.

SG don't have the CX5 2.5L T AWD with >400BHP, only the 2L FWD. The 'fastest' Mazda is the CX-9 2.5T which is discontinued and now only has 2.5 for CX-60 and CX-8.

If you ask me to compare, it's the AWD that I'm keen in between the both. The rest you mentioned, not so much of push factor for me.

Yes, thats one of the key reason also. I’m very into safety due to the past accident i met.

Too many safety features make it hard to drive also...
