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.

when will the price increase be effective?

keep me updated. i think i should be making my booking within this week. Hope price stays the same for this week la. 

Delvin, which model should buy? 2.0 and 2.5 which value buy??? Which 1 better???

can list down all the new features and gadgets?

Mazda 6 2.0L, since more gadgets and will it increase the price?

RM153k...

Hi furiezachs ...

On paper, the mazda3 1.6 has the same 103 hp and 144 Nm torque as my 2003 toyota vios.
If you'd had experience driving vios or city before ... would you rate the mazda3 1.6 more sluggish with its heftier weight and your 17 inch wheels? The deealer in my town won't let me testdrived the showroom unit.

i personally luv the mazda3 furai flow-lines and have read 'bout the good reviews of it's handling. If the 1.6 accelerates as fast as my lightweight vios , then probably not necessary to get the 2.0.

Still flip-flopping between mazda3 and kia forte. Appreciate your feedback. Thanx.

Hi guys ...
Current am waiting for my wife to arrive. Will be taking her to our local hometown dealer to show her the mazda3 1.6 and 2.0 .. both of which are in stock. Also planning to persuade her to cancel our forte 2.0 booking and transfer the amount to mazda3 booking (the dealer sells both car brands).

Mazda3 has only 58 pages of forum thread .... forte LYN forum already in V4.

Patiently been waiting irritatedly 3 months for my forte 2.0 without any inkling of news except for a possible price hike. Perhaps it's a blessing in disguise ... now that my eyes are set again on mazda3.

Wish me luck in persuading my wife ....

Errmmmm.....DId feedback to Mazda Malaysia?? Did Mazda Malaysia make a report to Mazda Japan manufacturer????
Delvin, U should feedback make a report.

Hi gahpadu, here are the pix!



The front rim looks OK, and I personally think it will be better with 18'' rim.


From different angle. Looks even better. I don't really mind the noise (have u seen top gear UK review? - they say Mazda 3 sport don't do well in cabin quietness anyway), as the looks could kill.


But I was really put off by the rear rims, because of the absorber setting is really high! If u look closely, the car is somewhat inclined to the rear side. There must be a good reason for it, but it makes even 17'' rim looks abysmal there.
I have a question, can a Mazda 3 (1.6) use 18'' rim? Will it compromise a lot (with lagging / heaviness etc)?

Those Interlagos 18'' from stock Scirocco do look tempting to me!

That's a responsible way to go, bro...

However, I wonder whether mazda corps will do anything about it. Malaysia is way to niche a market for them.

But we do hope they'll listen...

Yeah. You also will see the reason why mr gahpadu are still smiling eventhough has been drivin it since last few months....

If I bought a civic, I will be bored by it in a matter of few weeks. No pun intended. Most of Malaysian might not but I believe I am...

With M3, every curves giving you new excitement each day. Superb ride refinement...means we don't have to step hard on the accelerator to enjoy what perks it gives, every other time...

Thanks for the recommendation, Delvin.

However, lowering the springs means tempering with the ride comfortability, isn't it? I dont want to sacrifice that

Are u sure Mazda3 come with 3 years free service? When will this offer be expired?

But I just saw Mazda3' price increase RM1K 

existing buyer got?

Really? The Bermaz PJ SA told me it's 60,000km... Strange...

i love mazda cz of it stylish but cant see any cool mazda 2nd hand around rm50k T__T

I just place the order of Mazda3 Sport 1.6 (aluminum silver). And Bank offer me 2.98% annual interest. 

Hope able to get the car by next week. As the Manager told me that he allocated car for me already.
