Anyone out there know if the hatchback 2.0 year 2011 still have last stock? Been asking around but everyone also said no more. They said now waiting for the 2012 batch to come in during chinese new year which will increase RM5k minimum. Haiyoo...scary lah the price

Should have bought the car earlier. Sad! Sad!

Spoke to Jim.Tan already and been aliasing with him all this while.
He himself also not so sure if he can get the car before chinese new year.
The new price increase could be a ridiculous one.
I envy all you people out there who has already bought the car earlier.

Maybe Mazda and me not meant to be

Yeah bro...whoever bought the car last in year 2011 or maybe before that is very lucky. I envy you bro!

Yeay!!!

How good is Skyactiv besides FC & greener world? Does it have better performance in the engine compare to the current model that we have here in Malaysia?

Sure or nooottttt like turbo??? Haha...Marketing power lar!

This shouldn't happen...you are running with 2.0...you should be the smokin the civic unless

1) Civic is mod
2) Your car have more than 3 person weight more 80kg each
3) haven't service and its more than 5000km as per your last service
4) You scared to accelerate
5) You were at passenger seat. Friend or gf/bf driving at that moment.
6) well it could be anything also.

It doesn't make any sense if you got smoke by the civic 1.8 unless if mention above. Hard to accept that.

Think have to check the chasis no. When register the car the chassis should be align with the year made.

I'm not sure. I could be wrong also.

Future wife must be pregnant.

Bro,

How good is the K&N Filter? Does it give any improvement. Would be great if you could share your experience here.

Anybody out there using the same filter here like Junloong?

You have to check with JimTan on that. He would know

I'm sure can. I saw somewhere on the net they selling the MPS hood for normal mazda 3. I'm not sure though if you're talking about putting the MPS hood on sedan as I know that MPS only got hatchback. I also saw local guy put the MPS rim on the sedan. Looks awesome lah

Wah so sad lar to hear all this. I'm waiting for my ride to come in soon and all this story make me scared already. Later they usik here and there rosak the whole car.

Yeah I think complain is good because at least we all know now if possible to stay away from this particular SC.

Anyway is there any other place for service that M3 owner can recommend? Good to share will everyone here.

I'm getting my car soon. All this horror stories really tak shiok dengar man.

Are using any particular brand for tinting or you dont have one?

I think what ever tint u use also would feel hot under the sun but will cool faster when on the aircond. These are based from what i read in the forum before.

I don't own any tint at the moment. Been doing some research about it but so far nobody say it wont be hot under the sun. I guess good tint will help to protect your car interior better.

Could be wrong. Maybe some experience user here can help.

That should Aluminium Metallic

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

I thought i share my experience here same like other mazdarian because before this also i rely a lot on this forum to research before buying it. I learn a lot from all the sifu here which give great wisdom. So i guess its my turn now to contribute a bit from my side. Last time cannot say anything ma..i dont own mazda but i do enjoy reading other ppl comment

Thank you bro

I dunno about your car bro. What I read from other forum they said they don't have and some don't even know if they have alarm or not.

Yesterday I test with my window all down. Then I press the lock button. Put my hand in and open the door from inside. The alarm triggered. So I just leave it like that and go inside to try to start the car. The car can start! Haha...then from there I know it's a 'chikai' alarm. I don't know if my car has immobilizer or not. The alarm I have right now is just to scare the thief off only which is unlikely because nowadays people also don't bother if your alarm bunyi. All they say back to you is "Shut the **** up!". Haha.

If you have money get the one with GPS like cobra or viper startsmart. They cost a bomb but worth it.

Hi guys,

Today I went to tint my car. I'm loving it. Car look better than nice

Here I want to share my experience while waiting for my car;

I went to the shop in Damansara Utama. Shop called 'CV MOBILE AUDIO & ACC'. The owner name is PETER. Very nice guy. He's Chinese but can speak fluent Malay (cool dude by the way).

Before that I actually went and call a few shops around Damansara area only. I didn't bother to check anywhere else up until Klang or what not as it's more convenient for me because I'm staying nearby.

Made an appointment with the shop 2 days before as he has a lot of customer on que.

The reason I went here is because not many shop in Damansara carry Huper Optic brand. If they do also the pricing is a killer. There's one shop in SS2 quoted me RM2k++. Craaaaazzzyyyyyy!!!!

Anyway when I got there one of the staff there show me some sample of the tint. I took C50 for front and the rest C30. Got scared at first because in my head :-

1) JPJ tak lepas
2) Scared too dark I cannot see at night (old already. Mata pun tak sharp)
3) not too sure if I made the right choice.

As you know it's very hard to judge before tinting your car unless they install it first but then if you dont like you cannot take it off. So your decision at the beginning is very crucial.

I waited at the shop while they pasang the tint. I witness how they rip off my car. Open here and there. Spray water here and there. Very scary and pain lar to see Even the guy there also said to me "Abang pegi makan dulu lar. You tunggu sini mesti sakit hati punya". I guess the guy was right but I need to see and monitor their workmanship. I must say they are very professional and know what they are doing.

I check every door after they put the film and there was some small tiny little bubble/water. I told them to fix it and they do it with a smile.

So after 3 1/2 hour everything was done. I left the shop with a smile on my face. Very satisfy with their work.

Here are some pict I would like to share. Enjoy.

Before



After
