Welcome. I was driving 4g93t before getting into m3.

Congrats bro.. Added you into the list already
Welcome bro... added you into the list
Bro, please provide me your car details so that i can add you into the list.... welcome to the zoom zoom family

Thanks Bro for replied!
How I measured FC, example I pump full tank & I press meter to 000.0
after that, 2-3 days later, I pump full tank
Example 100km & topup is RM14.80, mean 14.8km
I friend bought Pug 408 TC, he said average per km is 15 cents
Another friend from Singapore said, previously M3 was popular there untill Singaporean can't accept high FC
I am scared aft GE-13, petrol ll up RM0.30/L

Back to the main issue
I am looking for C segment, thinking to get current Civic 1.8L (RM119k), the model is nice, sporty, low maintenance, low FC & high resell value, but expired (since 2005-2012). Coming model (front Preve, Back Persona).
OK fine, If I wish to get M3, say driving from my house to town (15km), after that stuck in trafic (10km). Sometimes I ll go out station (once in the blue moon, average once a month "50km").
I heard Altis 1.6 under power, some said M3 (1.6) can produce 2.0 power, true?
I am thinking to pay deposit, but I need u guy to advised 1.6 or 2.0, I am affordable to buy any range (1.6 or 2.0) because CIMB around the corner (Bapak Along is there for loan & 9 years some more), but if 1.6 is enough power, Y Pay More, as road tax also high RM380.

Another thing is, I read about K&N filter, 1 of the filter is flat, put inside & the other one is like Honey Comb. It is stated increase 16HP.
Can I say 1.6cc is enough & do some modification to increase power, can saved RM20K & Road Tax (RM380-90=270)
Pls share your knowledge with me
Many Thanks

Bro,
Your M3 is really nice, I like Sedan M3 very much & I strongly believe yours is 1.6cc.
I wish to get one, but I am busy & lazy man to test drive because I don't I really HATE any follow up & convincing by salesman
I really don;t know which model should I buy.
Can u share with me your experince 1.6cc under power or powerful?
I like your rim as well, it look difference & sporty. Is it 17" & do your feel like heavy & under power?

2.0 user, pls share your experience with me too. I hope I really get the right advise from u all to guild me for the purchase.
Me, myself & I.... Previously Civic or Altis, Civic or Altis but now I am thinking of getting M3 but (1.6 or 2.0, 1.6 or 2.0 ???%#%$^%&&*****!!!!!!!)

Recently, another friend tell me, new facelift is worth to wait
Pls drop some advise
Thanks buddies

P/S : or should I wait for new Civic that ll launch soon or Pug Sedan 308TC ? 408 TC

M3, CBU RM138K but CKD RM124K,
RM14K diffrence because is tax structure & yet price still consider high
Again when I checked spec for M3 CKD, Bermaz add on some accesories which I don;t think is high value in cost but I noticed that 2 safety features being removed, they are:
i ) VTC (Vehicle Trection Control)
ii) VSC (Vehicle Stabilizer Contro
I am sad & dissapointed, Why Bermaz removed that 2 important safety features
Price reduce bcoz of Tax for CKD, understood but some hidden features being removed silently
Any idea on how much to install that 2 features above?

Haha... Nobody copies proton. Why would they... The civic launched in other countries long before preve.. But anyway, back to main topic, Mazda 3 fc quite high in my opinion. About 60% town and 40% highway I can go about 330km before the light lights up.

Anyway... Mazda is a fun car! Handling is good.. Handsome and attractive with power and good grips. It's definitely not a family car with small interior.

Sound so great Bro,
I like M3 Sedan White color, I don't mind on resell value, because I still believe there ll be some demands from the youngester & low suppliy, so price is still OK compare to cheap Korean car but I am very keen on FC, because by logic Petrol price always up & never down. Aft GE-13, sure up & up

I heard one full tank of M3 can go about 300km, that's scary bro
55L xRM1.80 (Ron 95) = RM99/350km = RM0.282 cents / km, too high

You said u pump RM72 for 500km++ = RM0.144 cents, that is Vios / City FC
What I measured was, fill full tank (really, really full), reset meter to 0.000 & use
later pump petrol again & count
Example, pump full tank & reset meter 0.000, use & pump again after 100km-200km
this calculation is very accurate to measure FC
May be our bro & sis here can try on their 1.6 & 2.0

This is M3 CKD (1.6 & 2.0) website

I am quite sad when Bermaz removed 2 safety features from M3, they are:
i)  VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
ii) VTC (Vehicle Traction Control)
There is no protection of skidded

Thanks Bro for the info,
I ll booked M3 White by next week either 1.6 or 2.0 Hope to get better info from u all
By the way, I heard next month new facelift of M3 (sedan) is coming up, should I buy current model or new facelift
the price difference by RM5k++ I guess
Cosmetic changes are
i) front & real bumper
ii) meter (white) & push start for 2.0
Regards

It doesn't work that way. U can't compare a filter with a turbo charger. It works differently. Increasing horsepower and adding horsepower also different story... Maybe the filter smoothens your gear shift I doubt what the industry out there, claims that it increase power. On the other hand, the 1.6, Mazda 3 definitely not as powerful as the 2.0 for sure even if you add the filter or not. It just doesn't work that way. If you can afford the 2.0 why not go for it. After all, the road tax only once a year.. But what you get is power and fun. That's my point of view. One thing about turbocharged car and normal engine are... Turbocharged engine tend to be jerky and not smooth to ride or drive whereas normal engine give a more comfortable ride.

maybe u need to teach  ECU on ur driving style

try to use M mode

u just need a longer road to reach 180

Thanks Bro for the info
I still believe 2013 (Jan-Dec) Skyactiv in M3 ll reached Msia
Let's me be the 1st to booked
