We did (Australia also sells both 7 seaters). The 9 is lovely but I felt a bit cumbersome with all that extra length and width. Interior of the 8 is just more efficiently packaged. It still works perfectly for our family of 5, we love it
We bought mazda cx9 skyactiv. 3 years of ownership until now, very satisfied with the power delivery and also noise insulation. We bought the cx9 because of bobby’s review few years ago. Thanks bobby, your review is always true.
i love the term of "accidentally" pass through some touge roads.....i tend to have that kind of accidental incident too, somehow ended up in some touge roads...
Unfortunately Mazda CX-8 doesn't offer a 2+3+2 seat version in the higher spec. I suspect if such version is offered, the CX-8 could easily sell double the volume.
3rd row are basically useless even in a CX9. It was on sale here in brunei for $54k if I’m not wrong with all the bells and whistles but I ended up buying a Toyota Prodo with no bells and whistles and $15k more. Glad I made that decision as my friend’s CX9 is showing problems after : yrs which is the same age as mine. Another friend who’s driving a Mazda 6 says his aircon knobs are more expensive then the ones on Mercedes’ 😂😂
Hi Bobby,just want to interrupt.The wood on the door cards and dashboard are real woods,they call it Ayous wood. Excellent and detailed review bobby Keep it up!
No regret buying this. I have sit in my co XC90. i ll prefer this anytime. It's so much comfy and sound insulation is superb! Best combo is Mid plus spec..what a shame. I hope Mazda Mgmt take note and give high spec for 6 seats (without centre console)
Dont go to Mazda Bkt Dukung, Kajang. They made it compulsory to take insurance from Berjaya Sompo, which only offers conventional package. Checked with few other Mazda dealers, we actually can opt for other Insurance/Takaful provider.
Nice video bobby cool review...definitely agree that thr mazda cx8 diesel top spec is a good value proposition....funny thing happen today when watching your video...my wife was shocked that her 2016 mazda 6 gl 2.5 touring wagon has the same dashboard, gearknob, switchgear etc as the cx8, and she has asked me, how is it possible...and i responded...it is because your husband knows how to read the spec sheet and pick cars....definitely enjoy some self praise occasionally...haha
Blah la bobby, hari tu kata cx8 the least enjoyable mazda to drive...hahahaha Btw, got this beast...cyberjaya-penang only cost me 25ringgit The torque and handling are magics
We have one on order, so excited and is being built as we speak. We got the Touring SP diesel AWD. The wife didn’t want leather again so I got the highest spec I could without leather. It isn’t missing too much over the higher specs but would have liked auto tailgate.
Actually you could've specced the highest spec and then let your wife drive it for a while and if she really didn't want the leather swap it with another lower spec owner who wants it haha
Even the storage place near the aircond hard to access.. just a suggestion, mazda can consider to change to a smaller gear knob or different type of gear.
Bobby can you include the uphill stretch behind the desa green service apartment as part of your suspension test for every car? I find that is a suspension killer for many cars. Wish to know what car can handle that well.
i prefer the design of the cx9 because its wider. i dont like the cx8 looking like an elongated cx5. it looks like it was in a transition between a cx5 to cx9 (it is) that didnt make it to the cx9 stage. for example, the engine, the lights, the tail and the interior. great car tho! all mazdas are great!
Hi Bobby, Could you share your view on diesel particulate filter (DPF) on 2.2D CX8? How often it required regen, and what should we do when the car is undergone Regen.
I live in Jakarta and too bad they don’t have CX8 diesel in here, only 2.5 skyactiv NA just like in CX5. I think CX8 or CX9 would be better selling cars with the diesel engine in here since Hyundai Palisade 2.2 diesel is now the best selling monococque large SUV in here
Idk why I watch this…I’m a single gay man with no aspiration to have kids or getting married but still fantasize about driving this car with my petulant kids at the back
@@ronaldt3422 That's what they said - for now, but things may change according to time. The torsion-beam layout is present because it's based on a stretched Mazda 3/CX30 platform.
Normal daily drive 2.2d cyberjaya-klcc, using mex hiway speed 120-130kmh 14.5km/l...maintain at 80-90kmh easily get 19.6-21km/l...my record 25.5km/l cyberjaya-pandamaran using federal road cruising at 70-90kmh
Bear in mind it is AWD by demand, VGT turbo that provides u torque at any rpm uniformly, and the 25.5km/l i above-mentioned with 4 adults and 2 teenagers inside.
