actually if im not mistaken even the sedan version 1.6 and 2.0 also they called it mazda3 sport. the differnece between sport and normal is dat'sport' come quipped with bodykit as standard. according to what the SA told me.

red, aluminium, grey, white, black is among only color available.i dont think hav gold color m3 here..

still not fully utilized the power of zoom zoom

im using mazda 3 2.0 pearl white (commoners in the uniqueness  )

it takes like 2 weeks to wait, not that long i think.
last week, go on holiday to melaka go there and there, 3 passengers at the back. even the leg room is quite tight, but they seems dont complain it at all 

and also i dont feel any vibration at the pedal 

about the top speed, the salesperson told me that they already test it and it go up to 210km/h.

Spoilers? Wasnt the 1.6 too has same spoilers wt 2.0?

Most people scurried away from Mazda 3 becuz they're worried about maintaining the beast and 2nd hand value.

I dont really give any damn about 2nd hand value, albeit I know it would not get worse than a Pug or other conti.

Maintaining and servicing-wise, few Civs friends (of mine) already regret their decision, becuz M3 is a more sexier car at a lower cost of maintenance.

Never tried 200km'h. I think I am satisfied wt 190km/h notch and be safe...however knowing u can reach another 20-30km/h above that brings great feelings....

FC during idle (especially in jam) is surprisingly noticeable. You can't help but notice the drop. It is not so significant, maybe only costs you cents per jam, but nobody owns M3 is an oil tycoon whatsoever so it is still an ugly fact to swallow. No wonder anywhere else got i-Stop technology except Malaysia.

Just look what we've missing here guys...

FC during idle and jam is notably high.. the same can say when travel high speed eg: 170km/hr but at 90km/hr the FC very good.
i also notice the RON of fuel doesnt give any significant performance different but shell v-power 97 give a smooth engine sound, using esso gor slightly growling sound when ramming the rpm. below is my FC figure @ 90% hiway:-

esso 97 RM50 = 250km
esso 95 RM50 = 320km FTW
shell v-power97 RM50 = 230km
shell v-power97 full tank = 455km (30% town 70% hiway)
bhp 97 RM50 =  300km

the other brand didnt test yet, i travel mostly on highway. I wondering what is the max speed this M3 can do? i only manage to do 182km/hr seem like no power once reaching 180km/hr.

hahaha.. i think we cant measure the civic FC during jam or bumper to bumper slow drive because it didnt have MID to show. but should be the same as M3, their gear box had slightly closed ratio from 1st >4th gear = slightly more pick up = bad FC,  but i believe the civic engine is more refine and very responsive and go to 7000rpm like a nothing. mazda engine slightly reluctant to revving, or maybe it just my car because still in break in period.

For your info i did use civic 2.0 for fews days lend for me by my boss when my previous car breakdown. only the steering respons and flappy pedalshift is a letdown, and i did booked civic earlier but the waiting list is crazy.
