true enough.
I'm one of the heavy footer too, you just can't imagine how much i suffer to test it out......

Yes you can say it as a worry but it can be a logging for personal reference too.

The mileage can mean a lot other than money, it can be something wrong to the engine, tires, gearbox or etc.
Most people shall understand, each car, they has their own character, so it's not a bad thing to know your car more.

Personally, I always red the total mileage I had made per tank before I pump, then reset it after finish re-fueling.
Lets say if the mileage suddenly gone too less per tank,
at least I have a clue that something shouldn't be right anymore to the vehicle hence I'll stop zoom zoom before sending it for inspection.

I'm not a pro, a little aim of mine: prevent earlier is always better than sorry later.

Hi everyone!

Just got my Mazda today. I must say it's one solid car

Been driving the car the whole day here and there (around 150km). So far so good. Power for the car is ok to me. Not to say pickup really fast but decent. The auto wiper don't really work when it was raining just now. It was drizzling. I waited for the sensor to detect the rain until I can't see anything but still nothing happen. Maybe there's setting I need to do.

Car came with standard alarm (I don't think original has one). Tried winding down the window and lock the car then tried open from inside. Alarm triggered then I put in my key to start the car while the alarm is still activate. Car start like normal. Haih..So alarm is lousy one for sure. I like the key but I think it's OEM. I think it came with the alarm. Key very flimsy.

Car also came with CASKA (free when bought the car). Must say the screen is big and awesome but gps really like crap lar. Slow nak mampos! Other than that is all good. iPod play like a charm. Haven't tried the DVD yet Also installed the reverse camera. Quiet pening also to look at the camera while reversing my car but it does help to look anything that is not visible from your view mirror. I guess have to get use to it.

Speaker that came in the car also not bad. I'm quiet happy about it (no need to spend more money on speaker).

Fuel consumtion are ok at the moment. Pump full tank using shell RON95. Been driving 150km already and so far only 3 bar used from the meter. Can't say much at because haven't reach 1k yet.

Taking corners with the car seems steady. I enjoy dong it maybe because I've been driving Honda city before. My city also damn tua already

I feel that Mazda don't have many compartment at driver's side. My city before got more. Got place to keep coins and others but the main compartment at passenger's side is quiet deep. Can keep laptop! (don't think so!)

I love the small tiny details Mazda 3 has especially at night when I went in my car. Put the key in and start and there's this small blue led light above (at the top light in front) that focus on the gear area. Surrounding area was quiet dark so when I start my car and I can see my gear box area. Damn cool lah! not forgetting at the side door also got small blue LED.

Steering wheel has a lots of button. Look quiet cool but problem is when I turn steering to more than 360 then I sometimes accidentally tertekan other button. Nothing serious just some small thought on it.

Overall I must say I love my baby. not because I own it now and being bias but it is a damn bloody good car with gorgeous sexy looking body. Still in average I don't see that much of Mazda 3 compare to others on the road. Kinda make me feel special a bit. Today i bump into few other Mazda 3. I notice them and I'm sure the other driver also notice me but I guess we all know for sure the feeling of riding the car. I don't know how to explain it but for sure all Mazdarian here know what I'm talking about.
So reporting in HB 2.0 metallic

Just finish signing the loan agreement yesterday. I'll be getting my Mazda3 2.0SDN Gunmetal Blue Mica next week. Any advice what to inspect during receiving the car?

Btw, is it worth it to change the radio to touchscreen?

Bro, i want 1 

wow full tank so good
my SA only give me rm25,but i returned back to him since he treat me so nice,he bring me to jpj to buy plat number,bring me to bank to settle my old car and he bring my new car to wax 
cool rite and after that we become good buddy hahahaha

yes K-1 form make me frust for 1 week 

very nice.  but i still prefer the old model dashboard.  the color more sportly   but the keyless ....i want itttt.

your friend should bought the car from you or if he insist ask him to drive your car again and try to totaled the car . the feeling not going to be the same after have a repaired car.

I own a HB but never driven a sedan for its handling....
Why not head to a showroom test drive it and ramp it to feel the difference compare to your sedan? Experience it is always a better choice in my opinion.

Pity u... 1 main reason I reluctant to lend my car to others except family, purely because dont want to go thru such hassle when something bad happen to the car... experience once and its hell of a distraction for quite a while until it settled...

Insurance pay full amount bro? Anyway, hope that everything goes smooth for you la... kesian your M3 baby

Bro sorry to heard that.. but you're able to claim full? or only 90%? Hope your friend is all right>.>

Come over my showroom to test drive and buy from me
