Hi. I planning to buy m3 now. Since mazda 3 Offer 3 years free service n maintenance atm. Is it worth and anybody can share their experience with sc here?

the 3 year free service and maintenance started super long time ago..while other makes did not do this and then because of the good response, other makes followed..but they give free maintenance only..not service.. all in all, good choice on a mazda3 u'll be very happy when driving

Bro, i planning to install the auto brake trigger at GS as well, but, is the workmanship there ok???

How do I get to GS and is the quality any good?
How long does it take for them to install it?

I went to HQ to service my car, then the SA asked me whether want to install the auto brake trigger lock. I agreed. The SA brought me there to install. The workmanship so-so.

It took me 1 hour and 30 minutes to get it done. Well you can installl it in any other shops HOWEVER it will void your warranty. GS is Authorised MAZDA accessories shop.

Ok... Thx 4 d info..
Btw, just got my new M3 2.0 Sedan..

YAY!

Hi. Anybody own gun metal blue mica here?

seems this colour is pretty rare to see on the road.

This colour not too bad and quite bold n stylish also. Any comment?

I think most people don't like that colour, tatz y it's rare, including myself..

Guys just to check something, I recently got my chassis number from SA n I notice it shows 0012xx.

Just wondering how come Mazda Malaysia so far only produces less than 1300 units after more than a year manufacturing CKD in Msia.

Planning to get m3 next month.
Wanna get so info from m3 owners.
How was the FC? Heard from the dealer is around 0.15sen/km
Is it true? Is not that good right?
And how was the performance? Comparing the spec with forte and fiesta
M3 has only 103hp but forte and fiesta over 120hp.
Is it true? Or just some rough data?
I test drove m3 but not forte and fiesta.
I love Mazda, so planning to get m3.

Heard that there's facelift for m3, is there any possibilities that it will have 6 gear for 1.6?

Thank you.

I just finish my 1k service. I dont know whether they did the balancing thingy.

So rare that it's make every head turn every time when you pass over them… I've been using my M3 for more than three month… so far I have no regret to choose this color… make me feel very special & different from others… I thought that's why we choose M3 rather than T or H car…

my zoom zoom will be here next week...excited.

balancing and alignment "must" be regular basis to prolong your tyre wear or steady steering control. normally every 10k of mileage or when u hit the pothole hard...

in my area in sarawak when the road is so "jahat" or lots of potholes, I do it every 5k or after accidentally hit any pothole... so i dont have any vibration or tend to go right/left even at 160kmh without holding the steering (note: please dont follow this as I did speeding lidat only once just to test the car... its scary at that speed tho... )

Added on June 14, 2012, 12:23 pmFC wise, really depend on your foot/traffic since not much diff...

HP is not important unless u want to race the car...

spec wise (my own opinion, no offence to 1.6 owner), forte 2.0 or fiesta sport is better in term of price... but of cos in term of look forte and fiesta lose a bit... M3 still macho regardless of 1.6/2.0

skyactiv-drive?? i dont think so at the moment
