One's a boxer with a small boot and one's a Mazda with a bigger boot. That's it really. Both are good cars.

Test drive both and see which one you prefer. Just like what bro. Izso is doing now, testing all the cars before deciding which he wants......

Haha, ya. This new tech is good which my colleague have a white CX-5. He say quite save fuel compare to CR-V. Besides, the 3 or 5 years free maintenance offer is attractive!

CX5 is a whole lot better compared to the XV in terms of comfort, power delivery and fuel consumption

Only Petrol opinion? Or can suggest Diesel opinion also?

Between the 2 choices. Mazda CX-5 hands down. Didn't win Japan Car of the Year for nothing, beating the Toyota 86. Though technically its not a car...

petrol would be better..

Some cars are fully imported in knock down parts but assemble locally. 40% local contents means they use 40% local (Malaysian) made parts.

Don't say you are stupid, just that you have no knowledge of the cars yet, but you can learn a lot from the sifus here....

Different engine make, technology and design etc. You will have to read more on this....

He meant the CX5 have better power and fuel efficiency and more comfort....

If SUV needed, both XV and CX5 are too small. Captiva is better than both. 1 full tank of 60L diesel can travel minimum 500km pure town drive (drive hard), highway 700-900 km depends on driver (I manage to drive from Kuantan-Kl-JB and still have fuel left).

If SUV look needed + some sporty feel, XV is a better choice if you don't require many after market performance parts.

I still regret for buying the captiva. I should buy double dab Defender

Both have their fair share of negative comments. However both also have their good comments. Either one is good imho.

It means 40% of the Subaru is made in Malaysia.

Personally, both are bullet proof cars. Test drive both and just buy the one you're happy with. I think you'll do better with the Mazda CX5 since that car is bigger.

Skyactive is Mazda's technology that supposedly plays with shutting down pistons and all that sort of good stuff to give you good fuel economy and at the same time a very pleasant / good drive. Subaru's are built with 'boxer' engines and have a very unique sounding engine which a lot of people like. Power wise I suspect the Subaru is better. But if you're not looking for big power, then the Mazda has better fuel economy, meaning the fuel consumption is better with the Mazda.

And when people talk about power, they are referring to how well the car pulls when you're flooring the accelerator (torque) and how fast it goes and all that.

I would take Subaru XV, love the design

But Mazda CX-5 looks bigger though..
