I think to be correct here, honda city is CKU unit, not CBU unit, so not from thailand or japan. City's parts from Thailand this is true.
Jazz is fully important japan, so it is CBU Japan.
That's so far what i know from the SA from Honda because i have ordered one unit. Haha.

Legal concern? How so? If you don't mind elaborating for us. =)

Just a reason to cut the things from the car, haha...

Just kidding, actually they do have security concern, you can find that most of the new vehicle now is not provided auto lock in terms of speed lock or pedal lock. The reason is if touch wood any accident occurred and the car is lock, people hard to come out from the car. so the most secure way is don't implement this kinda of lock and you need to lock everytimes when u want to lock then it can train you to lock the car.

I never heard legal concern, but most of the european car are not with auto lock features and now started with japan car.

I after reading twice still don't under understand what loneboy62 is saying sad.gif

If you manually lock and speed lock what is the difference? In the end the car will be locked and you can manually unlock the car to get out?

Also some cars can sense the accident and automatically unlock the doors.
*
The reason is, when accident happen right, usually those speed lock 'dead', u r not able to unlock, if you lock the door manually, there is higher chance to unlock because you are lesser one more level of locking. Those speed lock and pedal lock is using relay chips to control, so that is the reason behind.

Your M3 sport with panic alarm, just like ur horn sound, it didn't come with alarm indicator, so when u lock or unlock your car will not be without sound.

guys,

i test drove the mazda3 2.0 this afternoon and found that the blue illumination ring on the instrumental panel (speedometer and tachometer) are very very faint. I can barely see the blue ring. the SA told me its because the glare from the outside light is causing this. Only when you drive during night time the blue ring becomes apparent. Anyone can verify this?

And can the audio unit play dvds? like i burn mp3 inside the dvd and put it inside the player, does it play?

Thanks!
*
When you switch on your light during day time, the dashboard really barely see, in fact almost i can't see anything, however, the LED come with the design in that way, so no choice unless you switch to a multi color as the original Mazda3 from Japan, that's look nice, this needed wiring moding, not recommended to do in malaysia since Mazda provide very noob accessories shop(I usually called it noob of the world accesories) - GS.

You can have audio unit play dvd, it also need to MOD the ICE, so you can again go back to accessories shop to MOD, just remember dun go their Panel (nOOB of the world) since they are really noob, u can get a better and cheaper service in outside, one shop in Serdang not bad, cheap and reliable.

No need to buy Mazda car already, accordingly to BJGROP, they are gonna to setup manufacture factory in malaysia with the no.4 largest China manufacture, this is already announced by BJGROP, i think soon the Mazda car price will drop like hell...

So buy now you may cry bcz once CKD unit here,those car's value will be dropped.

Honda has been CKDed so many years here and now even Kia and Peugeot but do you see Mazda price decreased by any of these?
NO.... So if you thinking the price will drop simply because the Berjaya Group "going" (wonder when and will it even materialised) to setup manufacturing factory for BYD, i think you will be mistaken.
Btw, it's a China brand car. Have you seen many Cherrys and Changan cars around?
You get the point...
*
Actually you might misunderstand what I have tried to describe over there, basically Berjaya works with BYD is to setup a new factory here just to come out with CKD car for Mazda, not like Cherrys or Changan, it is the agreement btw JV Berjaya and BYD with Mazda, so they are produced car like HOnda and Toyota here.

So Mazda car all around the world is a famous and reliable brand and well known after splited with Ford. In fact both still have certain relationship.

Read through this if you can understand chinese but i believe 80k is a bit too less for even 1.6 Mazda 3, at least should be around 90k, or else the Mazda 2 CBU Thailand also dead dead dead.

Haha...Hopefully price drop afteri sold my mazda 3 sport, give me at least 5 years!!!! hAHAHA

Hi,

Is any Mazda3 Sport owner here can share their opinion regarding the performance of Mazda3 Sport 1.6(A)? As I thinking to buy Mazda3 Sport 1.6(A).

Thank you. smile.gif
*
Not sure about 1.6, mine 2.0L initially very low performance on pick up and accelerate very slow. After few months, about 2-3 months getting "open" up, now is quite good performance, can compete at least Honda Civic even i still think CIvic pick up faster, but it definitely can be compared.

By the way, this Mazda 3 you can get more information from the official club : www.mymazdaclub.com/forum

Guys, i believe you guys are actually compare the performance on the car, and no fight, Mazda 3 2.0L or 1.6L didnt provide good pick up, refer to the torgue you will know since civic 2.0 and lancer 2.0 can provide slightly higher torgue, so pick up is fast. Just my 2 cents, I didnt really found Altis 1.8 can compare to mazda 3 2.0L because Toyota car always go for comfortable level, and it is not for sporty racing, so I guess we should say Altis provided more comfortable level compared to Mazda 3 itself.

However, how fast can drive depend on the driver, if those cars are in similar range, let's compare this c-segment car, i didnt think all cars take any advantages, the reason being is all cars are having its own strength and weakness. And in my choice, I think the best C-segment Japan car so far only Lancer 2.0, Civic 2.0 and Mazda 3 2.0, other than that i never see a fight on its performance seriously.

If you compare Altis 1.8 with Nissan Sylphy 2.0 or Honda Civic 1.8 or Civic 2.0, these three cars can send Altis 1.8 to eat smoke anytime... biggrin.gif

Haha....you go and test those cars you will know, dont care about 1.8 civic since to me it is lacking power, but this 2.0 civic is pretty well and sylph only a family car, ntg perforamnce can talk about even it is 2.0.

I quite agreed on this statement if you only talked about the pick up. after both car speed up more or less the same, just when there are lots of cornering, then civic will lose definitely bcz mazda car famous anywhere with its super steering and good well handling.

By the way, civic suspension very suck, don't understand why 12xk car but give a so cheap suspension compare to mazda and lancer's multilink

civic suspension sucks? i thought it is using double wishbone, which is more superior and expensive than multilink... double wishbone mostly for sport/performance cars wor.

if you say multilink is better, then even Persona's suspension better than civic  laugh.gif
*
Brother, read carefully if you are not an electronic engineer!! Multilink got may types and this is the type E for currently what they used for lancer and mazda vehicle, the reason of this design is to enhance one piece of suspension instead of two independent pieces like double wishbone design. The advantage taken for DW is to have more spaces while Multilink always need to have it on top of the rear seat, so it caused many of the car with multilink always with limited space. Really dont understand why people has so strange thinking why can't just a persona suspension better than civic? It is just due to the material and how's the work up done for the vehicle itself. And you can ask any engineer to correct me if i'm wrong here.

frankly speaking i don't know why i search in youtube it always civic that been pawn by mazda3 (obviously not mazdaspeed3) in quarter miles...

don't know how you all measure the pick up...
*
Is the Mazda 3 been MOD? Actually I tested both car and dump with full fuel power in highway to try maximize the torque, and i found civic 2.0 really win over mazda 3 2.0, and if you read through the statistic, civic 2.0 with 114/6500 for horse and 188/4500 for torque whereby mazda3 only 108/6500 and 182/4500, the statistic show mazda is weaker on engine performance even civic is slightly heavier than mazda 3, about 10-15kg i think. But again, statistic is just statistic, the best is to test it out...ask ur SA give u test in highway!!!

Anyway, civic 2011 coming with new model, hopefully enchanced on it.

i always dun understand why people likes to compare acceleration times and power output figures. I mean, how often do u fully rev your car to redline to fully exploit the power? (and not regretting bout how fast your fuel meter drops later) Well not for me.. You do some mods like air filter, exhaust, ECU remaps, you can easily recover the few % of comparable horsepower..

I appreciate handling the most, and that is not something you can modify easily. Do not believe that putting in stiff springs and rock hard abs will do wonders. No doubt u can corner wt less roll but keep in mind the comfort will be sacrificed incredibly. Just like how people modify a already old and crap chassis like the Proton Wira, etc. It has a lot to do with the chassis, suspension setup and tuning. The stock Mazda could just perform as well as and probably even surpass the modified Proton Wira without all the harshness and instability. I believe you sapu corners more (not too mention the excitement of taking it with poise and confidence ) than you rev your car to redline all the time

And that is why people gets a Mazda.  The renowned RX8 and MX-5 Miata is already unanimously known for their handling refinement. You guys should actually also consider Mazda's cousin, the Ford Focus, because frankly i test drive the car and it feels even more agile than the Mazda and again without all the harshness. Granted that it look like a family hatcback, you will be surprised by its performance. The Ford RS (only a FWD) is on par with all the RWD sportscars that sits lower and doesnt have the interior space at all
*
Good analysis!!! In fact, I also don't really care about the acceleration much since most of the time i'm riding in highway, acceleration wont help me much unless those enjoy with racing.

Btw, changing exhaust, ECU, or turbo timer, and other MOD usually wont be more than 10% difference but Police will follow you 100% always, not worth to modify, I prefer directly buy a new car with turbo engine and no need to MOD so much, that's feeled better.

I think acceleration of a car is rather important when considering the amount of traffic lights we have in our normal everyday city drive. 

But in the end it wouldnt matter much because the number of road hogs hogging the right lane of the road or the road have a lot of "traps", bad design of road like the one in mont kiara--> segambut where center divider is facing the right lane of the road at the junction. LOL
*
but i think you should care about suspension because the road is really many "traps" around and some how you are hard to drive smoothly, always, i prefer to skip the road or drive faster to by pass it, i hate the road as well. thanks to our government.
