The Mazda Skyactiv models are indeed very nice. The engine performance and fuel efficiency are very good for its class. It stil uses the traditional but improved version of automatic transmission unlike with other brands that comes with the CVT. The only main disadvantage of owning these Mazda Skyactiv cars is the iStop feature. It's a feature that many Pinoys won't really have any practical use. This feature requires a very expensive special battery (EFB) which cost around ₱15,000 if you go for the casa brand (Yuasa). Don't use the ordinary motolite or amaron battery otherwise you'll risk on damaging the eloop capacitor which will cost at least ₱100,000 for a replacement. Some Mazda 3 BM (2013-2016) owners have complained about this istop/capacitor issues in recent years.
Another thing to note with the Mazda Skyactiv models is the water-based thin car paint used. If you plan to buy one, don't let the casa amateur auto detailers touch your car's paint. Bring your newly bought car immediately to a professional auto detailer that knows how to properly protect Mazda's delicate car paint.
Thank you sir Levi for reviewing at last the Mazda CX-8 4x2 Signature model. I actually bought this model & color over the Fortuner LTD & Montero 4WD. Ramdam mo pa rin kasi ingay nang diesel. Other countries no longer use diesel engine na rin coz of emission concerns. Halos Asian countries na lng ata gumagamit. The CX-8 gasoline engine drives smoothly and quite inside esp during long drive. Yun lng medyo mahirap when you drive alone coz madali ka antukin coz tahimik and maganda Bose sounds niya including the seat comfort of Nappa leather inside. Stable din ang ride & handling niya during high speed. Hindi ka rin matatakot sa high speed kurbada. Bagay siya for Family use who wants a premium car and kakaiba dating niya. Sulit din for what you pay coz it comes with 5 years free PMS. Unfortunately, Mazda discontinued the diesel engine on CX-5 new models for 2022.
Thanks for this sir Levi. Isa ito sa pinagpipilian namin ni misis: from CX-8 to Montero BS, and now the even cheaper Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. So sana mapasyalan niyo rin yon.
Nice and detailed review, i appreciate your full detailed insights through the entire video, Mazda vehicles are pricey but in return it provides you the quality you deserve plus the best value of your money 👍
Hi sir, can you do a review of the ford territory when you have time. I always watch and enjoy your reviews especially when you explain things on the technical side. It's like listening to my engineering prof all over again.

Hello sirs and Mazda owners, napansin ko wala siyang AC vent sa ceiling. Paano po yung nasa 3rd row? Di ba mainit since nasa knee area yung AC sa 2nd row? Thanks!
Ive been watching your vlogs sir levi aside from simple and easy to understand , maganda pa boses!!! .....i really cant decide on a CX 8 AWD, and a CX9 AWD ( price difference is 500K!!!) i like almost all the features of CX 8 except that it dont have a ventilated seats!!! ....i like the CX 9 AWD because it is bigger, and has ventilated seats, and Turbo!!! but after watching a comparison of the CX9 exclusive and the Black edition , now the choice is between CX9 AWD, CX8 AWD and the CX 9 Black edition!!! i understand, that it is only the sunroof , napa leather, and other safety featurs, and of course the AWD that is absent in the Black edition ( i can live with that!) price of black edition is 300k more thatn the CX8 and 200k less than the CX 9 AWD....pls help me decide sir Levi!!! hehehehe
@@ridewithlevi6418 thanks sa response chief! Im actually waiting for my Terra VL 4x2 unit pero more than a month na kasi wla pa rin, Im thinking of getting CX8 na lang since may available naman cla
@@ridewithlevi6418 naghahanap kasi ako ng ganun sir. may ma recommend ba kayo sakin sir kung san ako makakahanap ng ganun. marami sa fb kaso nakakatakot baka fake eh.
im considering to buy a mazda cx30 or Cx5 2.0.. im a honda crv user and fan but ung lalabas na CRV napaka pricee so i am looking into mazda as an option.. please advice thanks
I own a 2021 Mazda CX-9, it looks exactly the same but I have a captain seat on the second row so it is a 6 seater not 7 as we want the passenger to be comfortably seated. What’s the difference with cx-9 and cx-8?
Everything is here in this car: very elegant and fast. But because of the oil price, I will still buy hybrid cars over this. I will change my mind if they build one😁
The Mazda CX-8 just doesn’t look right. The bigger CX-9 and smaller CX-5 have beautiful lines, but while stretching the CX-5 to make the CX-8 something went wrong.
Unang beses kong nakita to sa personal, grabe lakas ng dating nito. yayamanin vibes.

Looking for this, eyeing in the future CX8 vs Ford everest
Matipid po ba sa gas consumption? Ilan po consumption nya city driving
Stunning . I love everything about Mazda. So classy and elegant
Bought the CX8 SP Touring AWD Diesel, never looked back. 😊
Saktong sakto sir 😁 nung isang araw pa talaga kami nag pa-plano pumunta sa Mazda para tignan yang CX-8
Sir, please review the cx9.
Thanks for this sir Levi. Isa ito sa pinagpipilian namin ni misis: from CX-8 to Montero BS, and now the even cheaper Chery Tiggo 8 Pro. So sana mapasyalan niyo rin yon.
Looking forward sa pag test drive niyo, Sir. More power to you!
As always madaling maintindihan ang pagreview.
Awesome! 👌👌👌
Panlaban sa ibang 7 seater to.
Simple lang pero elegante talaga.
Nice review. Can you review the geely azkarra? I’ve been eyeing the car and I really want your opinion on it
Nice and detailed review, i appreciate your full detailed insights through the entire video, Mazda vehicles are pricey but in return it provides you the quality you deserve plus the best value of your money 👍
My favourite car reviewer
Sir Levi, according to vlogger John Agustin Scuderia in his RUclips channel, Mazda CX-8 models doesn't come with a spare tire. Is That true?
Please do review Hyundai Santa Fe as well. Its the favourite SUV here in New Zealand
Sir, levi baka pwd niyo review facelifted ng cx8. Thanks po
Hi sir, can you do a review of the ford territory when you have time. I always watch and enjoy your reviews especially when you explain things on the technical side. It's like listening to my engineering prof all over again.
Will try sir if i have the opportunity
Good day sir, pls make a review of the mitsubishi strada gls 4x2 automatic 2022 model. I really like how you review cars. Thank you
Sir levy, if you will choose bet CX8 and Ford Everest as your family car, what is your pick? thank you in advance
is the CX 8 still made in Japan?
Yes
Well-explained po Sir Levi. Including the Sky-Active Engine ho. Nice!
I think you forgot to mention the Free PMS for 5 years from Mazda. 5 year PMS from Honda/Toyota costs 150k-200k.
Nice video as always! nga pala sir touch screen na din yung headunit ng latest CX8
yun thanks sir Levi for d review
I just hope they made some iimprovements on their A/C system that their using. Make it more durable and reliable.
Pls review the CX5 non turbo 🙏

Yes that’s true, mahal yung battery. Ang ginagawa ng iba pinapatay yung istop. In my case, wala akong i-stop kasi base model yung mazda ko
Ayus na ayus tlaga mga reviews nio.
Hello sirs and Mazda owners, napansin ko wala siyang AC vent sa ceiling. Paano po yung nasa 3rd row? Di ba mainit since nasa knee area yung AC sa 2nd row? Thanks!
Sir Levi still no AC vents in the 3rd row?
None sir
Nice review! Actually for the cx8 awd variant third row seats have ac vents located under the 2nd row seats .
@@ridewithlevi6418 Thank you, btw sir levi no actual driving experience?
@@edl7392 Really? Super if that is the case! Is it also the same with the CX9 AWD?
What can you say po sir for awd of mazda? Is this calls for higher maintenance cost? D po ba sya maskra if it will be used for everyday use
Hindi naman sir, matibay naman ang Mazda
@@ridewithlevi6418if case lang sir matapos na ang free maintenance ng mazda na 5yrs, mahal po ba magpa-maintain sa labas na mga shops?

@@yingbopanlaque5713 hi sir! Im currently in the same situation, so what did you buy?
which one do you like more Sir Levi? CX-8 or CX-9?
CX 9 of course
Bat ang babaw ng under bumper nya? Hindi ba yan sumasayad sa mga humps?
Sir Levi pa Review naman po ng FORD TERRITORY at kung anong masasabi mo. Sana mapansin nyo po ito. Salamat♥.
Will try po
you should look at Tiggo 8 pro sir
cx8 turbo or ung bagong cx5 turbo?
Peugeot next? 2008. ❤️
Nice review, kahit kulang kulang letters ng words mo po hehe
No ones perfect minsan nagkakamali talaga kahit ako hehe
Sir impression nga po sa 2022 na mirage g4 po thank you
cx8 cx9 or cx60 sir? and why po
It depends on what you need. i would prefer tue CX 60 because its not too big. if you want big, go for CX9
Chief any idea kung madali ang parts ni mazda dito?
Madali naman, madami naman dealers
@@ridewithlevi6418 thanks sa response chief! Im actually waiting for my Terra VL 4x2 unit pero more than a month na kasi wla pa rin, Im thinking of getting CX8 na lang since may available naman cla

@@ridewithlevi6418 sir Levi, do you have an idea on it's fuel efficiency.. thanks
@@abetguerzon1939 no idea sir

I own a 2021 Mazda CX-9, it looks exactly the same but I have a captain seat on the second row so it is a 6 seater not 7 as we want the passenger to be comfortably seated. What’s the difference with cx-9 and cx-8?
Cx-9 more powerful engine, bigger space
CX8 comes with awd diesel, better fuel economy and slimmer than cx9
I plus one Mona sana CX-9
CX 50 ba available dito?
hindi
Everything is here in this car: very elegant and fast. But because of the oil price, I will still buy hybrid cars over this. I will change my mind if they build one😁
Cx9 naman po sir.
Ganda pa cx9
Saang branch po ito?
Makati branch
Nothing against Mazda but they make cars for really tiny people. It always compromises passenger comfort. 👎👎👎
Mazda cx9 nanaman boss
lugi sa prize
ganda sir levi mazda🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
