Well, Yeah.. Mazda 3 is more expensive than Civic 2.0. Mazda 3 less feature compare to Civic 2.0 as well, but bare in mind Civic is CKD from Melaka.. and Mazda 3 is CBU Fully Imported from Japan (except Alarm and Reverse Sensor)..

Something missing From Mazda 3 VS Civic

1. Mazda 3 don't have bluetooth (Hand Free / Audio)
2. Mazda 3 don't have build in GPS.. (some Civic buyer can get Free cheap GPS from SA)
3. Not as powerful as Civic V-Tech Engine (so far didn't give a press on it yet, since it is my new baby)
4. not much space for big size ppl at the back seat..

What Civic don't have VS Mazda 3

1. The looks (Ganas, Kodo Design)
2. The Feel of handling much better than Civic.. Stable and smooth
3. Nicer rim compare to Civic
4. Nice Headlight and Taillight compare to Civic.
5. The dashboard are design and make by soft material (close to leather - really outstanding workmanship)
6. Spirit of ... Zoom zoom... 

For my second time pumping petrol.. I can feel the different between ROM 95 and RON 97..

Ron 95, I feel the car under power, don't have much power to push the car.. normal driving 60-70km/h..

Ron 97, much smoother and power.. normal driving.. can reach 80-90km/h

Anyone expire this? Or any suggestion?

Can someone pin is up at the first post?

Things that I not satisfy with Current Mazda 3 price that we paid..

1. No Bluetooth
2. No Build in GPS

Optional..
1. AFS
2. i-Stop

I think we should compare Mazda 3 with same range of car type.. not Camry and Accord.

Well, Nissan Slyphy have Navi

What you mean by Optional? What I mean is in Malaysia Market there is no i-stop, AFS feature, but in Euro, Aus, US they have..

You can refer to the Mazda 3 Manual when you purchase your case, what I found out a lots of features are not included in our Malaysia Mazda 3.. 

while I reach ard 50km left, my total mileage is around 460km only, does it consider low? I dunno my driving behavior make my car "eating petrol" .....  

I'm thinking to do fog lamp for my M3 1.6 , dunno how much it costs..

er.. I not sure.. but I compare like this

Mazda 2 VS (CITY / VIOS)

Mazda 3 VS (CIVIC / ALTIS)

Mazda 5 VS (Stream / Wish)

Mazda 6 VS (Accord / Camry)

That is what I compare with

Man.. So many Aluminium Metallic in this list, yet I don't see them around where I drive (Damansara area). All I see here are Crystal Pearl White and more Crystal Pearl White. LoL.

The tyre is noisy enough, i have to blast my stereo to vol 15 to offset the noise
