M3 is very well built vs the Civic. But the recent 1.8-L Civic is good value for money lo. If they had lunched it earlier, I may have been swayed and saved 15k. Oh well, nvm wil be getting my missus car this weekend. Thinking of changing the tyres as I heard the Toyo Proxes is noisy. Any recommendations from M3 owners?

Thanks

civic 2.0 is my 1st choice actually and booked it ritely after test drive, but due to a long waiting list i did test drive a lot of car.. civic.. altis.. camry.. persona elegance.. kia forte.. mazda3.. mazda6 and finally fall in love with m3 handling.

both car is good .. but at that time only toyota give a better interest rate than mazda3 and their altis only so-so .. so i choose mazda3.

maybe next year planning to upgrade my viva.. still undecide which car.. i'm waiting for the next gen waja, if not might going for something smaller like honda jazz or city. 100% town use only.

so i'm not a loyal supporter for mazda.. i only bought the most value car within my budget.

If you really carry people around your ride, then maybe rear space is that important to u. Forte is a good buy anyway, so u could not lose anything literally.

To me, i did not carry people at the back seat everyday, so i can not afford to miss the superb handling and steering feels that M3 deliberately provides.
Its addictive I love to drive the car anywhere...

Guys..I am taking delivery of my missus M3 2.0 tomorrow.
Just wondering is there anything I should look out for when inspecting the car? Thanks

p.s the peddles looks lovely. Anyone know where to get it?

actually i'm only looking for the foot rest.. stock m3 didnt come with the pad.. ur left foot lay direct onto the carpet.

congrat for ur missus car.. waht color is that?

Ya..I reliased that no left foot rest. But hey, since the pads look nice, might as well change all of it. The stock rubber paddles looks abit out with the brilliant interior.

As for the colour, ahh...graphite mica. White looked lovely, but just too many around. Yours?

mine is white as usual for m3.. i love red but waiting period 3 month
yeah.. should change the whole pedal.. it will look much nicer than the rubber pad

Looking for 2nd hand 18 inch RX8 original rims. I think would look lovely on this M3, any good deals please update me...

18" will be nice
but what is the tyre profile u're planning to pair with the rim? mine stock 17" already feel noisy..

im also looking to change to 18 inch rims or maybe 17 inch (change the stock one) . but have to wait after warranty end

do we need to recalibrate the meters if we changed to 18 as the diameter will be larger and it also consumes more petrol right?

try checkout at mudah.com( saw it before) or ask about it in RX8 club.

IMHO better find it at tyre shop coz it sell very cheap price compare to owner

found 1 2nd hand rx8 original rims set letting go for rm2.2k(not including tyres) at sunway area(u should know where). tyre profile im not sure which one to choose. janji not so expensive but at the same time not so cheap.

yea! stock toyo tyres really noisy and keras..

my dad's change with Toyo Proxes C1S 17", really comfort and silent

guys, im planning to get the mazda 3. Would like to know if any of you can share me real world average consumption ?

1) What is the full tank capacity ( liter )
2) can it take ron95?
3) average travelling consumption per full tank


Planning to get it by next week.

about 75 RM (small tank) - RON95
yes
about 400km

2.0L

1) full tank capacity for 2.0 would be about 55 litres
2) can.
3) depends on how u drive the car. average distance for a full tank can go about 410 (for RON97).

For mine, the average fuel consumption is around "340-400" km.... for fuel tank (for RON 95 and RON97)

I've been told by the SA no need recalibration of any sort, if u change the tyres. How true is that, I dont know.

Guys u might want to keep those 17'' stock rims, just in case u gonna use it another day or need to keep it back to factory setting for some reason. If you're not, be prepared to pay RM2k / rim, which sums up to RM8K for stock rims, directly from japan....in the case if u would ever need it again lah.
