Juz wondering if u all got to "personalize" ur cars. Did u get a personalization card with the new car?
I'm interested in turning on the Smart Turn Signal. Anybody done it yet?

Anybody feel the car less pickup after 1k service? I also notice the FC is very bad after service. I'm using 1.6 version. Any comment might help.

please add me

i'll be going to the TT this coming friday but i din't drive. i'm flying from kota bharu to pj. happen to have a meeting on friday.

see u guys!!!

The personalization card. Some countries give it out with the new Mazda cars and owners can bring it back to have some stuff configured. I believe the list is on the last few pages of the owner manual. Section 10-9 maybe? It includes headlight, illumination entry, smart turn, power door locks, etc etc.

When I did my free servicing, I asked abt alignment and they asked me to go do it outside as they dun have the tools/machine. Is alignment supposed to be covered in the free service?

what kind of acc? how come i misses that info..

I'm in Miri. There's 4 Miri plate M3's that I know of and I see one with Kuching plates that's out here once in a while.

Of the 4 here in Miri, three are white (including mine) and one black one. The one from Kuching is also white but with a black top.

Thanks for the comment. Another question, when i press my fuel pedal slowly to drive, the engine sound strange like the gear delay to change from 1st gear to 2nd gear. Notice like the gear loose for few second and grab back. Aiyooo....dono to explain. Hehehehe!!

Pearl white dominated this garage....

Ssaturn please update gahpadu into the list also. I believe he drive 1.6 crystal pearl white. Still remember his story about the flying kancil landed onto his car.
Gahpadu, could u upload the pic into this thread? I can't find the pic anymore.. Maybe I saw it in the different forum.

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...

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.

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?

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

CKD ain't really a good news in this country if you concern more in qualities, but there is always hopes, just 'hopes'.

About the MPS & refer to the web site you given,
estimated price of CKD MPS - full spec shall just slightly lesser than M6 2.0, or maybe slightly higher??
To me, I believe waiting for the MPS isn't a wise choise.
Just my 2cents.

Correct me if I am wrong, but these are two things I know/hear about the Mazda 3 MPS.

It's only available as a hatchback, so it's bad news for sedan lovers; and like the current batch of Mazda 3s, it'll be CBU directly from Japan.

LOL.... so it's 2.0 and 1.6 la... so basically... design is the same actually.. but 2.0 has bodykit.. but dang they look different.. 2.0 is so much nicer

just compare the quality different between CBU civic and local CKD civic, design same but material quality, fit and finish will be different. u can have a look at s'pore CBU civic. and yes we will have malysia plastic material to reduce cost and by the same time to maximize the profit. but if CKD mazda3 priced below 100k it will be a big hit but i doubt so

On another note, Yeoh said he was targeting to sell 300 units of the Mazda3 Sport within the next 12 months.

He added that the first 100 customers would be offered a special launch price of RM108,000 and RM128,000 (on-the-road without insurance) for the 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre Mazda3 Sport models respectively.
