i mean pickup is js staright road..not in cornering ...

pick up depends on Torque..not HP. HP will determine top speed ..

To be honest best pick up you want is Focus TDCi..powar car!!!! cheaper somemore..and superb handling..

don like ford...aih ...mazda interior is far better then civic..but pick up ..

no 1 using k&n drop in filter here?

If I not mistaken , there is someone here that already using it .He bought online.

Mine is coming soon , to buzy to meet Mr Mania

oh..mr mania from mymazdaclub?
hmm..i saw his post at there also..
but hv to recalibrate the ecu..rite?
i going to get the filter from someothers...but jst wonder the recalibrate is necessary..
if so,then gotta seek from mr mania...

i called SC..as usual,they said not recommended to use except OEM filter n bla bla bla...

What the price for ckd mazda3 sport

Its not that bad lo... the 2.0 dash to 100km = 10 sec Civic 2.0 about 9 sec..so only abit diff la..its not like you want to drag race rite.
yes the interior of Mazda..to me is very good. To be honest the Mazda 2.0 is good value. Cause cost price about 36k sell for RM132k. Golf 1.4 cost 33k sell for 156k

Info I got from my duti paid sheet. Kanasai...Golf cheaper than Mazda ..hahaha

off course SC not recommended to use others , no income for them laa.

I think fella who already changed to K&N just plug & play , he not calibrate his ECU.

Currently i using my K&N in my Honda. No need calibrate. If u wan confirm,u can ask the salesperson. K&N Drop in Air filter will not void ur warranty. No need worry. Some more can give u better performance.

I heard radio station have advertise CKD model will have FREE 3 yrs free service and road tax.

currently.. still considering my options.. currently between civic and this m3.. kia forte out of my list though..

New Civic will coming on next year (maybe) but its resale value if very high compare to Mazda 3 ( 2.0 : 95k for 2 yrs old car...)

just list down pros and cons for each car ..give the rating then finally pick based on the research u have done.

News from my sales person. He had saw the new CKD model of M3 2.0. He said:

1) Price: Not yet announce yet. But confirm will be low price than CBU around Rm10,000.

2) No Big changes. Just tyre and rim change only. Tyre using Dunlop Tyre.

3)The CKD model dont have Crystal White. Just normal White.

The leather seat and DVD player cum GPS was optional 1. Both if wanna come wit the M3 need pay extra around Rm8000.

Wat do u think?

it's called arctic white
it's not really normal.. just less crystallized compared to crystal white pearl
the tyres may differ, it's not necessary dunlop..

if that so, i think i'll proceed with that cbu m3.. I tested drive many car in this class(civic, silphy, altis, lancer etc.. U name it) but m3 wins my heart.. May be its just me but i felt the pleasure driving it compared to others..

Wow...others all same.?hurmz..i guess its worth it..those addle shift all remain same.?but quality will got diff.?

Yeah...mostly all same . Just Tyre and rim confirm not same. Last time they using Toyo tyre. Now will using Dunlop. Quality? I dont know.....this is the main purpose i worry.

hurmz..cheap 10k..but if alot thing diff then it's not worth it ..rim not same ...might need fork out some money to change the rim..argh...end up same price v cbu...

Thats y i now don know wanna buy CBU or CKD. Buy CBU have Cash discount. Buy CKD worry the quality.

If difference 10k, most likely the parts are of lesser quality already.. I might b wrong though..
