Malaysian have the habit of doing that in showroom. Everyone suddenly turn QC in the showroom. the kind of abuse those showroom car get, i think Humvee oso pecah.

if i remember correctly, all Mazda3 in SG come with push start button. Even the entry level 1.6. For the facelift, i hope Bermaz incl this cause, our friendly Kia Forte comes with keyless entry + push start and sell for RM94k for the 2.0 model.

Bermaz... sumthing to ponder huh.

you have to carry the key knob thing with you. when you are near the car, the alarm will disengage and the door will unlock.

the push start thing work the same. when you have the key knob thing with you, you just push start the engine.

this way you can stove your key knob somewhere. you don't have to take the key out everytime you want to enter/start your car.

the Kia Forte got a cool function too... you left your key knob in the boot and the boot will not close/lock.

i hope Bermaz is doing something about the Mazda3 price soon. There are more competition coming. The recent Kia Forte is really something to make the Japanese think.

OK... Naza Kia got some "magic" to push teh price down. RM94k for a 2.0 with all sort of toys inside. keyless this and that, auto climate control etc + loads of acronyms.

I think Forte will not harm the Mazda3 market. The coming Mazda2 may have something to worry (even before launching) but make us wonder why is the Japanese brand charging us so much???

comparing Accord is not fair since its a diff class altogether. however, civic and altis is in the same class and the rightful contender against Mazda3. CBU dun make a car different class, its only make the car more expensive.

If someone tell you "my car is made in Japan and its better", i have experience first hand a made in Japan car that squeak 2 year into service and things start to get lose after only 1 year. So much for "Made in Japan" huh...!!!

CBU or CKD, it only influence the price but the car stay the same.

car salesman... you can get those from knowing absolutely nothing what they are trying to sell to people who are passionate about their ware (i heard of Proton sales guy who know inside out of Proton cars, so not all Proton sales are jokers).

Whatever you hear from them just verify. in this age of internet, its easy to verify.

talk about car saleman, i once have a hobby to humour myself wif car saleman joke. My fren and I will randomly go see car and ask all kinda question. normally we will ask a little technical question knowing those sales guy are oni interested to close the sale and will say anything regardless they know or not.

the lastest i got is from Kia guy telling me all Kia Forte are CBU. There will be no CKD. His reason... all the parts are from Korea. why would anyone want to import part then assemble? who wanna buy like tat??? I am amazed.

If you are interested in Mazda, i personally know a Mazda sales guy who is a fren who quit his job to sell Mazda. he is passionate about Mazda.

you want to change the roof or you want add sunroof?
