I saw too but the price is out of my budget expectation.
Yes, due to my other commitments, I can't get a loan for cars above that RM 70k. DO you guys have any idea where I can find a good used Mazda 3? It does not matter whether it is 1.6 or 2.0..

Mazda 3 BK ( previous model 2003-2008) may suite ur budget...happpy hunting

Hi guys,

I tested M3 2.0 today but unfortunately, there was heavy traffic and can't really run that fast. Overall, it looks good to me. Considering buying M3 but can't decide between 1.6 and 2.0

I'd like to know from fellow M3 owners :

1) Does the 1.6 feel responsive enough? I mean does it sound like it's struggling to reach around 120kph?

2) How is the FC for 2.0 in stock condition? Is it alot compared to 1.6? I'm not a heavy footer and most likely will drive about 120kph max on highways.

3) My job requires me to travel between Penang, KL, JB every week. Lot's of outstation travelling. Would the 2.0 fare better in FC?

Thx in advance and appreciate your feedback.

1.6 will be struggling to climb from 120 to 160kph. ( back to drawing board-max torq at 4rpm only)

I own GT4 also , from 30-100 .both car perform almost the same figure .( without turbo boost) thumbup.gif

if u not a heavy footer then 1.6 is the best choice.

FC is hard to compare coz it depend on many factor . But in layman world..of course 1.6 better than 2.0

What the price for M3 1.6 now? Saw on Motortrader, someone selling a new one for 90k++ and up to 15 yrs loan. Is this the current offer for M3?
*
rm90K + is before those extra fees .If not mistaken rm104k OTR. 15yrs loan is really not adviseable doh.gif

my advise , get ur self 2.0.

had a meeting with engineer from Mazda Corporation this evening, he agreed that 1.6 got the pedal vibration . vmad.gif

tomorrow is my second trial against Bermaz regarding my pedal vibration.

Hey guys. Just picked up my ride(1.6 CKD) yesterday. All good so far.

Just curious, would adding onto the car audio system(woofer,comp speakers,amp) be a potential problem for the 3 year warranty? smile.gif

Thx in advance.

many M3 onwer already mod their ICE...so far no problem..

ya, reverse sensor for M3 ... sucks..... useless one .... believe ur own eyes rather than the sensor...

did anyone installed the reverse camera ? can please advice on the quality ?

i yet to install ... still thinking whether worth it or not .....  rclxub.gif

I had not budget for CASKA or FLYAUDIO so my only option is going to install wireless reverse camera + optional LCD screen later on my next Mazda 3.it can be a CCTV for my car as well later.

good to hear that , not sure will getting sedan or hatchback, 2.0 or 1.6. in the process of letting go my current ride. CBU is ready stock but CKD have to waiting some times right?

already tested 1.6 CBU hatchback. sadly , my current 1.6 sedan felt more responsive ( maybe due to K&N and irridium spark plug)

interested on 1.6 hatchback CBU coz it comes with 16" , 6 speaker , fog light and auto rect side mirror.

but might change my decision later

Below is the HB CKD 1.6 I snapshot at GS:-
[attachmentid=2256769]
Without Body kit beside...

my SA just come to my place with their used car panel to estimate the my car value.Price? used car panel said it only between Bermaz and them .Just let them doing their job. rclxm9.gif

Haha.. then you have to think CBU 1.6 HB is nearly the same with CKD 2.0 sedan I perhaps... getting 2.0 full spec but CKD or still CBU1.6?
*
really confused right know which one to get rclxub.gif rclxub.gif

extra power or CBU unit ( 1.6 HB vs 2.0 sedan CKD)

waiting a feedback from Bermaz later then on will come out with solution.

just come info..

tested FF TDCi last week , the handling all most same with mazda 3 but the interior and exterior really out dated. but the power is reallt great. Have to wait another 2 yrs for all new ford focus .So for time being , only mazda 3 won my heart

yup. really surprised.

did it on my last trip to kota bharu using karak --gua musang. maintain 80-110 kmh only due to heavy traffic plus there so much sharp corner and lot of hill to climb. 100 % manual shit for better control

all the way from KL to KB . much more control to overtake . felt less responsive when drive in "D" mode especially driving in 'forest' road. biggrin.gif

but for highway l surely can gain more than 600km with average speed 100kmh

walao GOOD GOOD!! haha.. I think if I change rims to 17" ar.. i will get less performance and FC already right?? hmm...  hmm.gif

surely reduce some performance and FC but it only small reduction . get light weight rims and use narrow tires like 205. but u can counter back with some mode like open pod K&N or reduce some weight in ur car.( dispose the spare tires maybe biggrin.gif )

but how many times u want to sprint ? handling surely number one compare to performance
