Hi all,

New proud owner of Mazda 1.6 Sedan (Black) reporting.

Was considering the 2.0 before but since I just bought new house, so can't afford it. Huhu.

Anyway just want to ask. I saw the the meter for 2.0 is 'prettier' than the one in 1.6. It is possible to change the meter?

TQ.

Yup I should just enjoy the ride first.

My M3 already clocked about 500km but so far I think I'd never go above 100km/h as I'd been driving around town only. No opportunity yet to floor the pedal. Huhuhu.

so far, no major complaints for me on the car la. just the noise issue only, side mirror folding sound is abit loud and the car sound proof is not so good. will abit noisy when u go for high speed, especially the sound from tayar. but anyhow it still acceptable by me because normally i will turn on the music loud.

Beside, another thing that i m not very like is my car don hv the central lock. everytime i need to lock n unlock the door myself. my spec is CBU not sure the CKD have the same prob anot. but this thing u can fix it later on also if u really need the central lock. extra RM 500++ for the fixing.

N also the GPS navigator, it's response is too slow. the cpu processor is slow, i not sure is my device like tis or is normal.

Beside all these, this car is great. I like the feeling of driving, handling is super nice, n i dont feel it is underpower. mayb because I m drivng 2.0.

Btw jz have a drive to genting last week, is superb !!!! Zoom...... Zoom.....  kill a lot of car the day !!! hoho....

Well, i have finally reached my 1K mark and sent my M3 for its first service and also to have the SA look at that annoying knocking noise. The service part only took around 1/2 hr to complete. I sat in the car with the SA during the test drive and he confirmed the sound. I also played a recording of the irritating noise and he looked very surprised. They checked and tightened the under carriage bolts linkages but the sound was still there when we went for the second test drive. About 3 hrs later, the SA told me that they will not take apart the parts because it is a new car. Instead, they will email/log a case with BERMAZ and have their team (a two man team who visits Mazda service centre nationwide) come over to check the problem.
I was told to take my car back first and wait for their call once they confirm the appointment with the Bermaz guys. I will be required to leave my car with them for 2 days then. I wonder when will that be?  hmm.gif He told me usually in within 1 to 2 months. I was like.... shocking.gif !
Somehow, I have a feeling that this is going to drag on for ages and I hope they can prove me wrong. They even remarked that I might need to drive down to KL directly to visit BERMAZ service centre to have the issue solved. I am a bit disappointed that they were not able to rectify the problem.
Is this how all Mazda service centres do service? Wait for the guys at BERMAZ to come?

Hope Bermaz will able to fix the knocking problem. Luckily the car comes with 3 years warranty.

3 years or 60,000 whichever comes first... vmad.gif  more often than not it will not even reach that 3 years.. they should be offering 3yrs or 100km.

Agree. I traveled a lot everyday due to the nature of my work. My previous car clocked about 30,000km++ in a year.

Datawraith,

I am also from Ipoh. The SC you sent your car was the one in Jelapang? In terms of service, how was it?

enchekere,

Yes, before the Jelapang roundabout. There is only one authorized Mazda service centre in Ipoh.
In terms of service:

1) Front desk customer service were friendly. Offered me wifi password while I was waiting at customer waiting area. One thing to improve is that they should not talk or gossip about another customer in front of other customers. Can do it when no customer is around if it is necessary to talk about it.

2) The tech guys are okay. When I arrive in the morning, a senior guy offered to take me out for a test drive to simulate the knocking straight after registering at the front desk. Once back at the SC, he instructed another to check the undercarriage bolts and stuff. After that, another guy took over and did the test drive with me for the second time. Waiting time wasn't too long. Very engaging with me during test drive and very confident but did not solve my issue in the end rolleyes.gif It's my first service...just some oil change and nothing much done. It was quick (the routine service part).

How bout you? Whats your experience with them like?

My car now only around 600km and haven't send it to SC for servicing. This is my first Mazda and I got not experience with Mazda after sales, so I am feeling a bit worry where to send my car for 1st servicing.

After about 3 weeks with my M3 1.6, I noticed my steering vibrate too much whenever the car went over 120km/h. I suspected the problem is with the alignment or the tyre balancing. Other than that, so far no other issue. No knocking sound and other unwanted sound.

Now I am planning to install Llumar Tint since they got one dealer in Ipoh. Anyone here had any experience with Llumar?

Hi Bros,

I got my M3 back yesterday evening. It only took the SC in Ipoh two days to trace the knocking and fixed it. Initially, they told me to leave my car with them for 4 days. I am happy that the issue is fixed and it didn't take too long.

So happy now and the driving experience is much more pleasant. thumbup.gif

Congratz bro. I guess we can say that SC Ipoh is competent then.
