Buy the spec down from the top model as it has black leather. it has most of the fruit the top spec anyways, spec it up with the GPS and you will have basically the same vehicle for 100k less.

The white leather is a bastard to keep clean, my missus hates it.

I see. What are the other differences then? I thought you got more equipment than only GPS? What would it cost to reupholster the white parts?

OK,thanks. Same occur on my phone over 3G network...

I can not even check my PM's. It just spins and spins for ever.........

The 2015 CX-5 has got a face lift. Does anyone know if CX-5 in Thailans will get it too this year?

Even clicking on "Personal Messenger" in the username drop down list produces this Fatal Error...

Same problems in IE too

Perhaps because they have been purged?

See this announcement from George.

Not purged. i have 16 conversations listed, but gets this error when slicking on it. Same error accurs when trying to PM someone. Even the envelope symbol on the top-right corner does no work, just spinning arrows. Registered a new account and all works fine there.

Some problems in both Chrome and FF

I cant send PM or read my old PM's. i get

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 314572800 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 91 bytes) in /home/thaivcom/public_html/forum/admin/sources/base/ipsMember.php on line 2780

Had a red City, difficult to sell ....Thai's only like black, white or silver. My buddy had a silver Jazz one year older than mine but got more for it despite my City having less than half his mileage and in better condition!

Bought a silver CX5 and am very happy with it. But had a small knock ...silver easy to match and repair, my buddy now has a red M3 also had a bump, but only place to repair is BKK.

The red is beautiful but has its costs!

Unbelievable to say Mazda Thailand cannot do body repair work, "TIT"

So white it will be then... Many thanks

How lohg do you plan to keep this car? If not sure, how long have you kept previous vehicles?

I will probably keep it in 3 years.

I'm reading about problems with white leather interior and got worried. The Mazda 3 SP Sport comes with white leather seats as only option. Should I be worried? What would it cost to reupholster 4 seats in a car?

Would it be possible to install an aftermarket ACC (adaptive cruise control) do you think?

I see that Mazda calls it Mazda Radar Cruise Control (MRCC) I wonder if it is possible to add it afterwards?

do you really need it? most people who have it never use it especially in Thailand where you have to dodge trucks, dogs, motosai and pot holes, save your money bro.

A regular cruise control is totally useless, absolutely yes, But an adaptive cruise control is a different story, as it can be very useful as it can adapt the speed to the car in front of you. It is also handy when stuck in queues as the car runs itself, sort of.

I need to buy a car. The choice is between Mazda CX-5 Diesel or go for budget and buy a Mazda 3 SP Sport. Logic says M3 and heart says Ferra... I mean CX-5. I like the CX-5 interior and options. The M3 interior feels little too simple for my liking and it lacks a lot of what I would expect to be standard equipment (cruise control, parking sensors etc), especially for a car in the 1.1Mbaht range. I don't drive far and often as im a bike guy. All cars in Thailand are so expensive so both does not feel like a "good buy" I have driven the CX-5 and liked a lot. I have just sat in M3, but I have heard and read that M3 is fun to drive, which is a good thing. Should I go for heart or brain?

Next question is reselling value. I have heard that Thais don't like red cars, and a red car will be harder to resell. White is to prefer what I have heard. What is your experience regarding colors? Both looks good though. An M3 in red or a CX-5 in white is in my mind just now.

Are there any better options than M3 in the same price range out there?

The sales person in Pattaya who spoke not so good English, said it would work. But I'm not sure that she understood.

I have had WP and extension of stay for 12 years, and recently i sold my company so nowadays I'm here on a 30-days visa exemptions.

Can i have a car registered on my name? Currently, I have 3 big bikes registered on me from my old WP time but Now I need to buy a car urgently.

/T

No one???

Preferably on the Bkk-Pattaya side....

I'm on to buy a CX5 but I thought I would rent one first, but I cant find any for rent. Any suggestions?

I can agree that my question and place is little odd. But i had to ventilate the steam somewhere and you unlucky guys got it straight in your face. Sorry for that. Anyhow, thanks all for your thoughts, critics, advices and cynical inputs (easy to be in Thailand). We will see what's happening next week when the results are in.

She can indeed get free treatment -- adequate free treatment -- through a government hospital.

If the cancer has already spread then it is a terminal diagnois with or without your help.

Assuming the story is true (which should not be automatically assumed), then what she needs from you is simply moral support, as a friend. If she is instead asking or hinting for financial help I would seriously doubt the whole story.

I had to look up the word "adequate" as i'm not sure if neither you or I possess the correct understanding of the word "adequate". Im not native English so i had my doubts.

1. as much or as good as necessary for some requirement or purpose;fully sufficient, suitable, or fit (often followed by to or for):

The "free" hospital treatment does not cure any cancer, they just subscribe medicaments to ease the pain and symptoms. at least for her sister who died of cancer last year and got no treatment worth the name. My GF¨s sisters family may have receive what you call "adequate treatment" but her husband was forced to mortgaged their land and house as a last resort to get a sufficient treatment..".. So the word "adequate" seems to mean barely sufficient..... I would be happy to do better than that.

i dont understand why you sent her to bkk.pattaya hospital for a second opinion.there's one in korat and i would there's many more in issan.so your goner be with her at a meeting with the doctor,how can you book a meeting when she hasnt had the result of the second opinion. i just hope its not a scam,i have over 30yrs.under my belt of thailand so listern to what sheryl tells you and let her know what comes of this pre-arranged meeting.

what bar is it at.

Cause i live in Sattahip and her first testing was made in a small clinic at her hometown which is far from here. Surely the meeting will occur after the test results are in, i thought that was obvious. But again, my English might not be clear enough. She is now staying in a guest room in my apartment till the results are in. After that, we will see what will happen.

You don't know if this cancer thing is true or not. She 's trying to get you back and it would not be her first lie, and it is very strange that she chose to keep it quiet from her close family.

Not so strange if you know Thais. She feel shame and don't want to be of any one's burden. Her 70-year-old mum has just lost a daughter last year.

Something like cancer! Thai women would not keep quiet about it to her family!!

Thai people can get good care at hospital FREE. Be careful do not belive every thing you are told.

Not so strange if you know Thais. Read above

sorry to be so harsh,but you said she was diagnosed with cancer in a clinic in her home town ISSAN.

so whats she doing down in patts.

dont fall for it until you know for yourself,forget the receipt and confirmation according to her its already been confirmed.

12yrs.in thailand then you should know some are the best actors in the world.

We will get the result next week and will have a meeting with the doctor.

Im not native English so i might have been unclear. The first report is in her hometown. I sent her to BKK hospital for a second opinion. Cost 3400 baht.

The other with the lawyer was to explaining her unwillingness to learn and develop for the future.

take her to a farang hospital by yourself , get the necessary test done , have them translated or explained to you in detail ...then decide your action plan , only you can decide what to do , it will be you who has to live with your decision ....

I agree,

Sounds like she is a serial scammer and the 'cancer' is just another lie to keep you sending money.

And you sound a little bit gullible OP.

Don't believe a word she says, or any document passed to you through her. Photoshop is easy to use.

Did I mention,

Thai government hospitals do a very good job treating cancer, and entirely free of charge.

Might be a bit iffy in rural areas, but near the bigger cities, generally better job than the NHS.

Q: Why is she going private, when she has no money?

A: Because it's a scam.

You might have a bad experience with thai people or being around wrong folks. But i have been living here for 12 consecutive years and i would say ordinary Thais are no better or worse than others. As i wrote earlier, she has been at BKK hospital for a second opinion and i got the receipt at 3400 baht. The "free" hospital does NOT cure any cancer, just medicaments to ease the pain nas symptomes. Her sister died of cancer last year and got no treatment worth the name (cancer on her fathers side who died very young, mum got remarried and got my GF) .

She can indeed get free treatment -- adequate free treatment -- through a government hospital.

Assuming the story is true (which should not be automatically assumed), then what she needs from you is simply moral support, as a friend. If she is instead asking or hinting for financial help I would seriously doubt the whole story.

As i wrote before she has always been carefull with money, no exception now. Her sister died last year and she did not ask for one baht from me.
