Thanks guy for useful info
At 1st place I am not so sure 1.6 or 2.0 but when I get some advise here, I thought I decided to get 1.6 & yet now thinking to get 2.0
hehehe
FYI guy, Aug ll launched new Facelift of 2.0 with Push Start, white meter & cosmetic changes on front & rear bumper but according to the sales staff, there ll be 0 discount (may be Jan 2013 they clear oll stok 2012 production for 5k less). If I get 2.0 now with RM6k-7k off, worth it? This is bcoz push start is coming & ll be out dated.
What are the benefit of push start?

M3 & Vtec, both 2.0 which 1 is
i) powerful
ii) FC better
iii) maintenace cost


Added on July 9, 2012, 7:31 am

Bro,
U describe M3 like describing a girl friend, hahaha
sometime we hate but most of the time we love
and the most important thing is love more then hate

by the way, what is
i)  Isofix for child seat, not really understand
ii) Your with leather seat? Is it additional RM2,800? worth is?
*
Isofix means there will be a dedicated hook and clip for child seat, no need to use seat belt to secure child sear
Mine just fabric, thinking to get leather but fear the cost will be high as my seat got airbag embedded... Outside you will get less than 2000 for nappa

I was once in Kuantan & I ask the SHELL Tank driver where he get the Shell petrol.
I am very shock when he said in Petronas Kerteh.
Is it mean, Shell & Petronas do contra biz & advertisement make the fuel difference to us as a consumer.
I believe, East coast Shell & Petronas using same petroleaum due to distant & in west cost, may be Petronas use Shell (from Klang), after all they contra the biz, both of the company ll gain transport cost.
What is the best petrol brand?

What say u?


Added on July 9, 2012, 10:10 am

Bro,
Thanks for your info
Now I am thinking of 2.0 after all but ll see AH LONG ll approved my Loan or Not for 2.0
At 1st place I was thinking 1.6 for 2-3 years usage as I made to understand from this forum, M3 (passenger ll get head spin & uncomfort) due to sport spring  for better handling.
If can used up to 5 years, 2.0 is a good investment
By the way,
i) How much your 2.0 (OTR)?
ii) What gift u get?
iii) Do u feel regret if they launched new facelift in Aug 2012 with build in DVD & other features like PUSH Start, White Speed Meter?
Should buy with discount or wait? I am not in hurry as my current Vios TRD is just 24 months
Do u think Dec 2012 or Jan 2013 they ll clear over trade stocks (new facelift) for some better discount?
I dont mind to wait as my Vios also still new (still a virgin bro)

Bro, shell or petronas or caltex, the petrol came from the same refinery, the only diff is the additive that each brand put in, that is why some say their better than the other... To me no diff, we still get low grade petrol from mid east, our petrol export since it is high in quality, low sulphur content...

Bro,
U mean both 1.6 (M3 & Fiesta)?
M3 only 4 speed whereby Fiesta 6 speed
I though Mazda & Ford technology about the same
Regards

M3 match with mondeo, not fiesta,
M3 4 speed is 1.6 right... If m3 1.6, i will go for fiesta sport.... More cool feature,

Mazda & ford divorced already ler.... I dont think ford has the tech access to skyactive same as mazda dont have access to ford ecoboost...

Once used, Mazda panel ll not be accepted for leather seats?

So far, where can I get original M3 leather seats with low price?
What is the actual difference for 4 & 5 speed?
Twon use no diff rite?

the leather seat better decide during the order. but after you want leather seat also can but need go back to the GS to install else then can saying you void the warranty. and i heard the airbag might deploy if you install from outside workshop.


definitely 4 and 5 gear give difference (gear ratio). 5 gear more smooth during the high speed. but also depends on engine HP.

Among lowest grade in petroleum brands, I am sure Petronas is the most, most lowest grade (like proton)
If u don't believe it, try to empty tank (leave 5%) & do own test
I ve a few friends, they said petronas No Power & very easy to burn off

Including town drive 5 speed needed?
I made to understand (via this forum), K&N filter able to smooth the gear, especially gear 1 to 2.

How many GS shop in Klang Valley?
I search in Google, can't get GS shop
Any1 knew the address & contact no?

I visit K&N website, seem like this filter work like a SPINACH to POPOYE (work like a magic to vehicle)

Proton marry with Mitsubishi & their baby names:
saGA
isawaRA
wiRA
waJA (1st batch)
inspiRA

After divorce, baby names:
Savy
Gen2
Preve

Imagine, how if Proton marry Mazda & the baby name is
"Proton Mazga" & look like this
No more pure MAZDA in market but lower price

Not a good idea to test own car unless test drive "company test drive unit"
Joke : I went to Proton & their emphasis on safety aspect. I just joke wanted to test "air bag"


Added on July 9, 2012, 9:42 pmI studies about M3 & wonder what make it stable?
i) no VTC & VSC or DSC for CKD
ii) Body weight about the same with its class (civic or even altis is heavier)
May be sport suspension (hard & uncomfortable)
Handling stable but we sacrify head spin
Today I test drive M3 (1.6), handling stable but a bit under power.
The funny thing is RPM hit up 4 to 5.5, that is crazy
normal car below 3, but a bit under power I guess, can feel vehicle heavier
I am not so sure under power or what, because I use to drive myVi & Vios TRD. Hit pedal, both car about to fly, lite & powerful

When I drive, I feel like spring very HARD, unlike Vios
Aftr tested, I feel my head spin......... all #%$^%&^&*&@#@#$%$^%$*&^%$$$%^ came out

How abt M3 (2.0), is it the same, feel like heavy for the 1st move?
I tested Inspira, hit pedal harder & harder but momentum is so slow & really unwoved, wanna over takes car also no power, scarylah, no wonder over trade discount is RM5K (Proton) Shop RM3k for 2011 stocks, all colors
Altis 2.0V, feel car so light & a little power, like vios..lite & power, hehehe (dif is bigger size), hahaha

Even a cheap car like Preve also with push start

Mind to share,
yours is 1.6 & 2.0 (I still can't decide which one ll I get).
what price & gift?
how long the waiting period?

Today I ask my friend help me to test drive 1.6 & 2.0 as I dare not to test drive to avoid sales staff (convince & disturb). Once I confirm to purchase, then I'll go

If u can afford more sure 2.0. More power, got paddle shift, auto cruise and most importantly got 6 airbags.

Push start for me is just something extra.

So u are taking 2.0?
U sure 6 air bag, I thought only 4 (front & side curtain)?
Mind to tell how much u get & what are the gifts?
Wanna count budget

I drop by at acc shop & ask for Dash-Build (GPS-DVD-REVERSE CAM-TV & Many more features)
He said, RM1,400 all in (free installation, no wire cut, plug & play, reverse cam & come with antenna for TV)
It's quite similar to Mazda ori (worth RM3k or rebate RM2k) without antenna

I got 1 for my Vios TRD, working very well for almost 18 months, even though Made In China
They don't ve actual stock for M3 as low demand, but I snap the pic to share with u all
