for more visit the link above.

Sure eh? Trustable source?

Any idea with pricing and spec? I think its a really good looking car.

the face

yeah its smiling

Mazda all latest car oso face.. RX8, Mazda 6, Mazda 3..

i think it's something like that..

Mazda 3 1.6L Sedan - RM111k+
Mazda 3 2.0L Sedan - RM131k+

Wonder if they bring in the 1.6L diesel and the 2.2L TD ..

nice dashboard, i like the steering

and the front bumper >>>

whats da point of launching a 2010 model in 2009? i mean, all mazda rivals will be seeing the car and then they will make their soon coming models better.

futhermore mazda has not got great deal of diehard followers around the world. maybe got some for the once great RX7. but i cant see it growing. rx8 is for me, a bit of a failure given the earlier 7 managed to stay there almost 10 years (or more?)

so, whats the point really? people cant buy it yet. they can only...well, part with their money and ... wait in the line?

i dont think they will bring in lor...malaysia diesel grade also no good..
actually why they wanna have diesel izzit cheaper in other country ?

Nic car a lot of singaporean driving
but prefer Mazda 6

The back looks exactly like a Mazda 6, just that its longer downwards

My next car..

i srsly love mazda cars, but the downside is, the dealers for mazda really fails at marketing mazda cars.

not too sure about the 2009 and 2010 thingy but i think car makers like to call their car that way...dont know izzit their financial year or what..
but i think places like US , singapore they are quite a mazda supporter.

what u mean ppl cant buy it...it's launching tmrw at berjaya times square...

supposely this year 2010, is to be launched year 2010 which is atleast 6 months from now. what i mean people 'cant buy it' because its supposely to be sold 2010 and if even the person got enough CASH for it, he/she has to wait another 6 full months to get the keys. i suppose i left the word 'yet' from that sentence (people cant buy it, YET).

but yeah. maybe this one a stunt to pull the weight for the car sales. whatever it is, the car looks stunning and wait till we see the big brother, the 6,

wad's the difference between Arctic White and Crystal White pearl mica?

what i meant was with insurances...

Mazda 3 1.6L Sedan - RM111k+
Mazda 3 2.0L Sedan - RM131k+

This post has been edited by kokben: Jun 5 2009, 12:22 AM

bro, u're wrong. as pointed out by another forumner earlier, many countries (especially those ang moh countries n even sg too) practice selling cars quoting the next physical yr when they roll out new models in that yr itself. e.g. 2010 mazda 3 will be launched in 2009, 2009 rx8 was launched in 2008, etc. it sorta helps maintain resell prices to a certain extent n buyers can have a fake assurance dat their car wun be outdated so soon.

the 2010 mazda 3 has been launched in sg a while back already...does it mean all the 2010 mazda 3 on the roads in sg are test mules and buyers would need to wait for mths before they can actually get their keys?! nah, dun tink so

This post has been edited by babana: Jun 5 2009, 09:01 AM

how many months are u talking about man? sg launch about a month ago if i can recall...and some ppl already gotten their car...
if 1 month like that is just standard procedure for bank loan and etc...

whether not they like to quote a year ahead that's...well all car maker does that..i dont see problem with that.

abt a couple of mths la...around april if i remember correctly. u can c them on the road already in sg...dats y i wanna point out dat it doesnt mean if buyers have cash, they cant buy a 2010 car model yet coz the 2010 mazda 3 has been launched and is plying the roads of sg already...

i heard they are launching only the sedan version in malaysia.
but dono why the website got hatch...

if u noticed, i think alot of info frm the website is just ripped off the global template that mazda has prepared. e.g. if u were to click 'driving dynamics' > 'zoom-zoom situations', the demo-drive course pictured in the diagram is based on a left hand drive vehicle. same goes for pictures of the cockpit.

hmmm, i wonder why the "preview" website car images are all still left hand drive ... looks like its just a copy & paste from other mazda webby ...

hahaha official site info also not accurate..except for price..i doubt even all the colours are available...


This post has been edited by kokben: Jun 5 2009, 12:54 PM

Price is expensive considering Mazda had below average resell value

not sure about arctic white but..crytal white pearl is..like pearl white..with sparkles only it...and it's more "white" than the normal pearl white..

Nice beautiful car.

Unfortunately,I dont think it will sell well in M'sia .Bad 2nd hand value.All the ppl who will buy this cars are prolly mid 30s.So definately they will care about the 2nd hand value.

Just look at Mazda 6.How many of them are on the road?

But I still prefer Mazda 6.

Agree on the 2nd value which might not so good compare to Honda and Toyota. But, I personally think that most of the buyer choosing Mazda because of it's quality since Mazda cars are CBU from Japan.

The pricing of the Mazda 1.6 just shows to you how super OVERPRICED the Honda Jazz 1.5 is.

But then again,is this Mazda 1.6 & 2.0 CBU or CKD?

any1 goin to the launching? damn i tot it will b launch next year .... stil saving for the d/p n now they launching it

anyway , i like the mazda 6 better of coz but since cant afford , this mazda 3 is veryyyyyyy tempting

goin the launching now , will update a bit when bek .... to civic > u can keep ur stocks inside ur warehouse from now on

Mazda car is bit expensive compare to Honda and Mazda car is CBU.

Added on June 5, 2009, 2:35 pmWaiting for someone to post a full review which include comparison with other cars in it's class especially Honda Civic

This post has been edited by binary: Jun 5 2009, 02:35 PM

And because of that, Mazda wont be so obvious on the road like Honda & Toyota.. Can consider "rare" if compare to toyota & honda.

Yeah, quite rare compare to Civic or Altis which can be seen anywhere

I have driven my Mazda 6 for almost one year now and still get excited each time i get into the car....This new Mazda 3 will really stands out just like the Mazda 6. IMO todays CBU Mazda quality is far better than the Thai Honda/Toyota...

Nono, u cannot compare with those car.. Must be Honda Accord & Toyota Camry.

---

Added on June 5, 2009, 3:05 pmYea, i love the Mazda 6 sporty look by the first sight on it.. and it's more powerfull compare to Accord & Camry... and the paddle shifting..

This post has been edited by victor87: Jun 5 2009, 03:05 PM

Mazda 3 same class with Civic and Altis while Mazda 6 same class with Accord and Camry. But, Mazda still stands out compare to other cars

this mazda 3 definitely is not a overpriced unit. the pricing is reasonable.. look at the features bi xenon etc... civic definitely overpriced if compare to this mazda3. if comparing to lancer i guess mazda 3 will be the winner too.. talk about resale value, 3 years old civic 2.0 selling RM 95-100k, i guess 3 years old mazda 3 2.0 can sell around Rm 85-95k. so not much difference actually, be a wise and smart consumer, dun ever get incflunce by market rumors... everybody saying honda toyota has great value 2nd, but u spend money to buy ur beloved car, then u must make sure u love ur car, not buying juz for the sake of good 2nd hand value. i envy all mazda owner, i can seen they all drive their car mazda 6 with pleasure, unlike those camry owner, all juz buy because of its brand and 'camry' name.

just spotted a dark grey mazda3 in federal around 12noon....never realised the car yet to launch....probably on the way to show room i guess....

No showroom or SC in Malacca. What is Bermaz doing ?

luckily malacca near to KL. haha
so we must support mazda and gradually they will have more SC and showroom nationwide.

mazda3 2.0 only 1k expensive compare to civic 2.0 ...really good car and its CBU!!

.hurry up .price for only limited period .after this the price will be shoot up like happen to CBU Mit Lancer.

i already book mazda 3 2 month back.now really really confuse which color to choose

thought last time mazda had small showroom in Melaka at melaka raya? what happened to it? stupid idea....they rather open a showroom at kelantan than melaka....

This post has been edited by chuakz: Jun 5 2009, 05:49 PM

maybe people in Kelantan got more money and interest to buy mazda compare people in Melaka. sorry .

just joke ok.

no la, not financial year.. the logic is that in 09 got old and new model, so to avoid confusion, new model is 2010 lor.. cos there is no more old model in 2010

hahahaha ... damm the smiling face .. makes u smile looking at it ...

I don't prefer it though

Just came back from the showroom today...OTR price for 2.0 with insurance is RM131,537.90. Interest rates are 3.25% for 5 years and below and 3.5% for 5 yaers and above.

Love the design, the 5 speed gearbox, MFS, Bi-Xenon headlights, good NVH and spacious boot.

The Mazda 3 pros: CBU, plastics not cheap, interior is much nicer, Nice info display, real paddle shift and tiptronic gearbox, 17 rims with Toyo R32 tyres from Japan, 6 Airbags

Cons: Boot smaller than civic, leather have to top up extra RM2800!, MZR engine is slightly less powerful than K20Z, No VSA, Rear legroom is less compared to civic.

which one is better in color? white? red? alumminium mettalic? or gold?

wah , i really fall in love with this mazda 3 liao

definitely better than civic although extra rm1.5k ... totally worth it ...
i even compared with mazda 6 2.0 specs ... this baby 3 have more accessories than the 6

the downside is , i think the interior design stil lose to civic a bit la ( not so futuristic even they add some touch ) and the legroom is smaller oso

anyway , definitely a good buy for rm131,537.90 including insurance. who cares bout second hand value when u buy it with such a bargain ( u already untung liao lo ) i think if civic put these specs n cbu from japan ... they might b selling at least rm150k ...

problem now is calculating installment

White and aluminium is nice but have to wait 1 mth....the salesman keep pushing the gold colour....

wow... very nice mazda 3... if put spoiler will be nicer...
and so many buttons and control on the steering wheel...

no worries ... 2.0 model comes with fullbody kits + spoiler

i already booked white..but still want to have a look other color before make up my decision .tomorow must go to show room to see aluminium

really? then will go mazda showroom see got any promotion...

free garmin for 100 early booking.This is promotion price.after this the price will be increase.

well that's a good point there..

they put new M3 beside M6 side by side... really cool... very nice design..

got to agree on the built quality.. no plasticky feels...

hi bro, so what's the introductory price? i saw in their website, 108 for 1.6 and 128 for 2.0, without insurance.

thanks.

Full Story here: Motortrader.com.my

We will be looking at CKD MAZDA somewhere in the future. Got mixed feeling with this news.

guys, want to ask, does this mazda 3 come with sunroof??? sorry havent have time go to showroom see real car. and what does the button at the side bottom of the steering? so many button, even more button than M6 steering....

i dont think there's sun roof..

anyway check the event photos here.

http://www.fastmotoring.com/post/2009/06/0...n-Malaysia.aspx

go for Made In Japan M3!
from my experience of 8m old M6 2.5, it save my time to go service centre claim/complaint this and that(like T & H brand).
to my surprise, some mazda fully imported from japan parts even cheaper than T & H parts which is local assembly.

I read somewhere that only Sedan version is available? Is that true? I'm eyeing hatchback version. Can someone clarify this for me?

MazdaSpeed3 you means?


Btw this is the first sub RM150K car that comes with 6 airbags. DOnt think other brand do offer that many airbags for the same price..

Went for the launching yesterday, somehow it does not attracts me maybe largely due to the pricing. I know it is CBU but this kind of economic situation (albeit slightly improved now) you know.

volkswagen polo going for 110 k has got 8airbags
front two, front side, front curtain, rear curtain

argh!!! y does bermaz not have a showroom or service centre in Melaka? now my sis will be buying the swift sport instead!

Mmm... I think your side be nearer to visit Bermaz at Johor or KL side... After sales service could be problem too...

Bermaz should have cover malacca too. weird..

No. I meant Mazda3.

Anyways, I think Peugeot 308 also offer 6 airbags (or was it 4? couldn't remember exactly)

308 Turbo come with 6 (Front, Side and Curtain)
308 VTi come with 4 (Front and Side)

yeap....I believe Malacca will be a bigger market than kelantan =.=......

Enjoice !!!
Mazda 3 Sport 2009 / 2010 Pictures

enjoice more mazdaspeed 3

The price is promo price...after this it will increase RM6000...darn it

The selling price for stock 2.0 is basically for those MadzaDie Harder fans or those whom doesn't wan the typical Altis or Civic. I'm sure it'll turn heads like the Lancer GT.

The more I look at it, the more it reminds me of Mazda Furai
