A worthy Purchase. `
Just bought the latest variant of the car in Super Luxury Trim after trading in my current 1.5 year old car because my family requires more space. Opt for the Machine Grey paint exterior because it looks gorgeous in that colour. 19 inch Sport rims compliments the monstrous car size. Interior: The 1st thing that hits me, is the Brownish Red Nappa Leather seats with dianond stitchings. 1st and 2nd row seats all electrically adjusted. As I am 1.77m, I require ample headroom in the front, centre and back row seats which this car fulfilled. There is aircon/ heater in those seats for extra driving comfort, something our erratic equatorial climate requires. Even the steering wheel can be heated too! Wireless smartphone charging and wireless Apple carplay connectivity. Almost Everything inside wrapped in plush leather, really screams 'Luxury'. The car doors are heavy for a Japanese car, and I like to hear the deep bassy thud when I close them, kinda of giving me a continental feel. Next the drive : Silky smooth, effortless for a car this big although there is no turbo in the 2500 cc engine. Had to adjust my perspective because my previous car is a Sedan so now feels like I am higher off the road. Lastly, did I mention the model comes with a 10 speaker Premium Bose Audio system? That sold me!

Perfect for family cruising `
Love this SUV perfect sized for family of 5. Can configure to 7 seater or 5 seater based on needs. Narrower and shorter than CX-9 makes it nice on singapore roads and car parks. Leather and interior feels nice and front look grill is a killer. Will recommend for families of 5-7 members. Can't wait for Malaysia borders to open for a proper road trip.

Bring back CX9, make driving more fun. `
Very poor quality car. 1st day of ownership, brake making noise. Today mark 6th month of ownership, something underneath the car broken or loose. The drive - very poor, too skinny car, but high roof. Control is very lacking. Heavy car with weak engine, make a lot of noise when accelerating. Will not recommend if one expect a proper handling car. Japanese car is not for handling. The gearbox is a poor 6 speed auto, making cruising very fuel not efficient. The look - look average. At this day and age, still using tungsten for signal light and interior lighting, it's way behind time. Totally don't give a feeling of looking at the car again after you lock the door, wish that you can disassociate oneself with the car Will buy/won't buy/go try? I would say if one is having budget issue, this car can consider. If have plenty of cash, go for continental car, this is not a driver's car. It is just another Japanese car trying to up sell itself close to a continental car, which itself lack all the aspect of being a continental. Even an entry level Audi drives better than this.

A must try for anyone looking for a 7 seater SUV `
Changed from an Odyssey to the CX8 and no regret 1.5 month into ownership. Great exterior design that I am sure will stand the test of time. Interior feels more premium than its Japanese counterparts and even the entry level Conti SUV. Chassis definitely feels more solid and cabin is much quieter than the Odyssey. 3rd row seats are better than most other 5+2 SUVs but still can't compare with those in MPV. Drive is very smooth and the 6 speed transmission is clever enough to know what exactly your right foot is trying to do. Engine power is sufficient. Ride comfort is pretty decent for a car in its class. Ventilated front seats Is a pity that it is not equipped with the latest infotainment system like those in the CX-30 and Mazda 3. The system in the CX 8 is slow to load at startup and resolution of the 8" Screen is average at best.
