Is not only me complaining about her, many others also face similar problem. This lady really has not much knowledge about the car and always give wrong info. I m not sure about william's hp no...he is based in Ampang branch. You can go to motortrader.com.my to see all the mazda post, he is there everyday.

billy, is the mazda service centre good ??

Well, good to see iceman08, Billytong and genkis3 still kicking around with their Mazda6. Glad that the new Mazda3 is giving quite a stir in the local car market. Good for Mazda.

Anyway, the reason why people from other countries appreciate the Mazda3 more is because they are not plagued by brand loyalty and brand stigma. They just appreciate a good car and the Mazda3 is what it is.

darlyn: To tell you the truth, ALL service centres in MY are downright lousy, regardless of car make. It's only good if you own a Lexus. But that's a different thing altogether.

Anyway, they are so so and common with everything Malaysian, you need to bug them to get your problem solved. But having said that, it's not to say Mazda cars are problematic. On the contrary not ! You don't get QC problems normally associated with local CKD assembly. That I can surely vouch for. So that itself is good that you do not need to rely on the SC too much for problem solving.

So like what kokben suggested, go and have a test drive of the Mazda3 this weekend and feel for yourself.

does anyone here already change their mazda3 rims to 17"?
or change the spring and suspensions?

Jchue73 is saying the truth, all the service centre are not 1st class. You just have to get lucky, from my experience, sometimes I go early become the 1st customer walk in the day. I endup getting my car service done pretty quick. Sometimes it takes 2-3hours. or even 4 hours. It is just random.


As for reliability it is the same old problem. things that come from local spoil first. I do have problems with my Car sensor, which is locally assembled. But Mazda6 got me fix the problem Free of charge under warranty. Up untill now I have no problem at all.

my seat buckle got this squeaking noise. 1st from the passenger side, now both. its annoying. already order the parts since april but till now no news.

you mean you bought the new Mazda 3 now having some noise issue?
yours is 1.6 or 2.0?
can give some review as owner?

not the new one still waiting for the replacement.
If still dont have till nxyear, gonna get new seat

mazda 6 is ckd or cbu??

wow.. till now kenot get spare parts ?? then have to reconsider abt getting tis mazda .

well, the honda service centre at jln ipoh is very good. last time i went there to service my honda jazz.

alll mazda CBU...

Fully Imported From Japan.

anyone know the specs 0-100 ?
does it handle better than the previous mazda 3 ?

according to the internet..
yes new Mazda 3 is better than previous Mazda 3.
in terms of handling, fuel consumption.. etc!

yes it is just a little bigger than civic...
but civic can give us the feeling is like civic is bigger..
maybe becoz of the civic big wide screen?

mazda 3 is a lot bigger then civic. =) Go in and take a look.

saw this car while passing by. Looks like a smaller mazda6. The front & the back looks just like Mazda 6... Looks pretty sporty should be a hit. Only thing is Mazda still not strong enough in Malaysia.

mid size version of M6 has to agree...
looks cool too...
but now Pugeot 308 Turbo give me more value if comparing 308 Turbo with Mazda 3 1.6...
both model also comes with a 1.6 engine but 308 Turbo just got reward as best engine if i'm not mistaken..
308 Turbo gives 140 HP while Mazda 3 1.6 only 105 HP...
so confuse...
