For the last year and this year, I went to Kuching, Sibu, Miri.. I saw lots of CX-9 in Kuching .. Sibu so far I saw 1 only.. Miri didn't spot any of them.. as I know East Malaysia Road Tax are cheaper than west Malaysia..

Oh.. my god! That kancil run on "Rally" track and fly off the cliff...

Sad one.. I believe he sure sayang his baby like hell now..

Hey guys... spotted more m3 sports on the road noawadys.. Sometimes will see some normal mazda 3 as well. Is the mazda3 sports considered a new model or it's totally the same with the normal model besides the addition of the bodykit?

Just a head's up to whoever is buying cargo accessories from overseas.

The model we're having in Malaysia has a deeper boot, so things like trays and cargo mat, might not fit on the lower right side (where there is a gap in the boot's wall).

Edit: I know that the cargo net which is suppose to stretch across the floor of the boot, is actually suspended in the air.. kinda defeats the purpose of having it.. lol.. it now looks like one of those safety nets for the circus' acrobatic acts. Will try to get a picture in later for you all.

Also, what is a good website to upload pictures? I usually use TinyPic, but apparently some idiot got Malaysia banned...

I think what you mean by normal mazda 3 = 1.6, with bodykit one should be 2.0

Malaysia only got Mazda 3 Sport, don't have Lite version or what so ever..

I think some Mazda 3 1.6L also have the word "sport" on the backside. The way to tell the difference between 1.6 and 2.0 is the LED brakelights, paddleshifts, 17" rims on the 2.0.

Not sure to be honest, bought the accessories ages ago, car only delivered recently. Will upload soon.

The most obvious way to tell a difference is the black plastic bumper at the lower rear end for the 1.6. Side = rims, front = xenon or fog lamp.

My car is not right after the 20K sv, fuel consumption turned bad.
Before sv, full tank can go 480km++;
after sv become 430++, can any1 tell what is going wrong??

Btw, I sv in HQ SC, beside Federal Highway.

I am too new to tell you anything Anyone else can help here?

I am looking forward for this accessory

Is anyone install this kind of diffuser for your Mazda3 Sedan?

Hi all mazda3 fans out there, need some opinions from you

Like many others out there, i am caught in between the mazda3 and corolla altis. I have actually tested driving both cars, and i must say i am totally captivated by the mazda3, for the driving pleasure and the overall outlook of the car.

But below few points made me reconsider the options:

1. Depreciation rate. Everyone says the mazda will depreciate much more than the toyota. But can anyone help to put some facts and figures to put thing into perspective?

2. Maintenance cost. Will the mazda has higher maintenance cost in the long run? Due to higher cost of spare parts?

3. After sales service. How's the after sales service for Mazda in terms of the service provided at the service center? Do they always lack of equipments? parts? Ignoring customers complaints?
