This car, so far so good. The suspension setup is quite soft. Those at the back can feel little vibration when going through humps or bad road condition. The very very downside, as I have never drive the old M5, is the brakes.

 

The brake pedal have to be press all the way to the maximum in order to stop the car. Unlike sedan cars, the car will brake even with little pressing of the brake pedal. And the head lights setting. It goes this manner when I turn the headlights on.

 

Off -> Auto -> small light -> big light.

 

The wiper speed is not what I can get used to also. When at low speed, it is a high speed. The wiper will wipe for a timing of one second even though the timing is set to low.

 

I intend to install Pivot E-nenpi system on this car. The FC info is not very good. It display litre / km instead of km / litre.

 

That's how Mazda tunes their cars. I used to think the brakes are faulty and I own 2 Mazdas.

 

WHen I drive VW, Hyundai, Honda or Toyota I come to appreciate the Mazda brakes cos they dont jerk so much.

Yes, Mazda 5 is the 7-seater MPV while Mazda 8 can transport 8 people at one go, including the driver.

The 8 is more like a 6 seater since the absent of the 2nd row middle seat.

You can't possibly squeeze 4 in the last row le

How's the ride comfort in terms of road & wind noise?

Does it comes with HID, keyless entry?

I prefer sliding door mpvs but the rest seems to 'bulky'

Hi Terenceleo, the ride is okay. Sometimes, have to go slow when heading humps. It comes with HID but not in white color. I managed to change to white HID bulbs and comes with keyless entry. The keyless entry is not like Allion or Estima. Need to press the unlock button on immobiler and there u enter the car. Compare to Allion and Estima where the door is unlock at the touch of the door handle.

 

Last week was my first car wash on M5. Just basic wash took me 2 hours. Spend S$1.80 on a 20cents tap at Punggol MSCP.

I thought Mazda 8 can sit three passengers in the second and third row each?
