Hi Guys,

For those that have been following this thread. There are some news in regards to the Mazda 3. CBU JAPAN Mazda 3 will likely see its final shipment in Dec 2010 or Jan 2011. After that all Mazda 3 will be CKD. Those who are interested to get a CBU units, pls do so by end of the year. Link - http://www.3-study.com/redirect.php?url=ht...39&sec=business

And the good news is Mazdaspeed 3 or MPS is coming to Malaysia early 2011. Those who are interested can pm me ur contact details. I will follow up once the model is open for bookings or for viewing.

Some Facts on the MPS.
2.3L Turbo Engine, 6Speed Manual, 18" rim and many more.
Refer to here: http://www.mazda.com.au/Vehicles/Mazda3-MP...ifications.aspx

huh? CKD MPS price less than Mazda 2.0? some where around RM 150k? Impossible right? The SA from Federal here told me, price around RM 190k..

I thought only Mazda 3 is CKD, MPS also CKD?

hello guys..

do we really need to rotate the tyres after 10000km?  because last time i done my 2nd service at 7000km, they said no need (i think this is optional), and just wait for the third service (17000km) then they will rotate it.

anyone already done this? 

Well, I feel my car Loss power when I using RON 95. If you do mixing RON 95 and RON 97, you will face the problem of losing power as well.. Currently my car also touching 3,000KM, and when I pump RON 95 it do loss some power, wanna change back to RON 97 again and see the effect.
How much does a 17" low profile tires cost?

Hey bro... thanks so much for the reply. Never knew that filling full load for the tyre will make a bumpier ride... thanks for the info

Well, why you all hunt for RIM?

What we really need to hunt for is the Leather Seat! Electric Leather Seat!.. or RX 8 Seat in Mazda 3.. lol

Waa auto door lock also want aarr.... but gotta be very cautious of leaving your key in your car after you turn off the engine... leave your car and close the door auto lock the key inside... troublesome....

I think there are some products in the market that u can check. 3M also has this sticker thing for bumper, its diamondbrite or something, but the price is like 1300-1500 per bumper...
BTW, anyone did soundproofing M3 so far?
Been to GS lately to do alignment, they also do soundproofing but the costs for 4-doors is like 280/roll. M3 would need at least 2 rolls + workmanship 200. So total up to rm760 (it can be one more roll = rm1040).

That is only for the 4 doors. Cabin floor is not included (will costs more and more rm....)

Anybody has done it? What brand and where? Did the door soundproofing really affect your speakers' bass sound?

i agak-agak i know which product is that

dude...my parents plan to get this car, so which is most good in fc?2.0 or 1.6...any comment regarding this car please feel free to comment

Yes and no. After being at the back of the new Honda City for a 3 hours trip and being at the back of a Mazda 3 Hatchback, these are my opinion.

I might not be the tallest at 172, but first impression of the Mazda 3 Hatchback was, nice head room, leg space not as big as the City's (maybe taller driver, don't know..) but it was very comfortable. Compared to the Honda City that had more leg space, but somehow I couldn't find a comfortable position on the rear seat, even with the reclining feature. Also, headroom on the City is bad. Can easily knock my head.

Just my own opinion. Of course Mazda 3's suspension not the best for long trips too. 

+ 1 

I leaving my car for 10 days back to hometown.... I wonder will it able to start or not when I back KL

It's not so noticeable when u have the stereo on. And it's all tire noise due to the 17" low profile tires I guess.
Anyone done soundproofing?
