The recent Motul 12 Hours of Sepang presented an irresistible opportunity. As an automotive journalist, I found the race a must-see, but the journey there was equally important. Thanks to Avis Singapore, my ride for the weekend—the Mazda CX-5—made it all the more fun.

Picking Up the Pace
The experience began at Avis Singapore. Opting for convenience and quality, I chose the Mazda CX-5, which proved spot-on from the get-go. The handover process was impressively streamlined, managed by courteous staff who showcased professionalism and enthusiasm for their fleet. It was clear I was in good hands.

First Impressions
As I approached the Mazda CX-5, the latest face-lifted model gleamed under the sun. The car didn’t just look good—it felt good. Climbing inside, that unmistakable new car smell greeted me, and a cleanliness that spoke volumes of Avis’s attention to detail. Every surface was well kept, every setting perfectly adjustable for a individualised ride ahead.



The Journey
The drive to Sepang was as smooth as the car’s sleek exterior. The CX-5 handled beautifully, carving through the highway with grace and agility. What stood out most, however, was the interior comfort. The spaciousness was a real boon, easily accommodating all our filming equipment and personal luggage without any clutter.

One feature that I particularly appreciated was the CX-5’s proximity locking system. It’s a small convenience, but walking away from the car and trusting it to secure itself was a thoughtful touch that enhanced our stops, whether for a quick snack or a scenic snapshot.



Reflections
The weekend was a blend of high-octane excitement and serene drives. Whether it was the roar of engines at the Sepang Circuit or the quiet hum of the CX-5 on the highway, each moment reminded me why I cherish these experiences. The Mazda CX-5 from Avis didn’t just transport us to the event; it was an integral part of the adventure, ensuring comfort and reliability every mile of the journey.

Thanks to Avis Singapore, the weekend was made all the better because of a fuss-free journey. The Mazda CX-5 was a reliable companion that offered a ride and a drive worth remembering.
For anyone planning their next road trip adventure, consider the CX-5 (or any of their SUV models)—not just for its performance, but for the peace of mind and pleasure it brings to the long road ahead.
