was wondering if our m3 has any speed cut? just tried to do 200km/h but i only managed to do 190km/h before the road runs out. I was on 4th gear that time...damn it was pretty scary...mine was a 2.0
*
yup.. i suppose so.. mine 2.0 CKD also got speed cut (~190km/h).. dunno CBU got or not..

Me and a few friends of mine actually realised that Mazda 3 had very weak sound proof especially from the back, road noise from bottom and wind noise smile.gif

Changing a better set of tyres won't be able to solve the problem once and for all, ur final solution is STP BomB smile.gif

agree with you on the sound proof weakness of Mazda 3.. but I'm not saying the rest of cars in the same class are better...

hehe, i dont think M3 is a performance car (even its has speed cut around 190+km/h), the owners (including myself) here basically love its handling, look and its kinda being different from the norm (apart from what normally T&H that M'sians use to choose
handling wise, i prefer this compared to altis, (taking quote from my friend, even better handling than civic)

Else agree with you, comfort may be due to its tyre profile. handling wise, I feel more secure becoz of its 'heavy' steering during high speed.

Maintenance wise, that what I've been thinking since M3 is quite rare species in my area huhuhu... but never regret it lah  thumbup.gif
*
yeah I agree.. M3 is not a performance car eventhough it look like one.. even more if you look at bro junl00ng ride icon_idea.gif .. anyway.. Mazda has MPS for those looking for performance car.. i don't feels any adrenaline rush in any NA cars during pickup.. including civic 2.0, altis 2.0, lancer, sylphy.. only with turbo cars like my friend's 308T, VW GTI, RX-7.. haven't got a friend to ride his/her MPS..

been driving M3 2.0 sedan and love the handling.. love the exterior.. love the interior.. but the interior space could be a bit better.. but I'm the only passenger for 80% of the time wink.gif .. and the cockpit is designed for the driver which I'm 99% of the time.. it really has that executive feels.. initially I'm too much focus on that tyre & wind noise (maybe because of reading comments).. but when I zoom zoom.. those are not what I focus on thumbup.gif .. FC is not bad either icon_rolleyes.gif ..

if got more money sure go for M6 2.5 wub.gif.. hopefully by the time the takeri design came in drool.gif

and aa.. I prefer the inside door handle of M6.. easier for my hand to reach the controls.. unsure.gif

If you r able to pump to 55l.. I don't think u can even drive to the petrol station in the first place. Haha.. When the refill indicator appear it doesn't mean ur tank is empty..  There are reserves left..
*
ya lorr.. even when the display shows 0km left.. still can drive about 50km.. last time I drove 35km after it shows zero before refueling..

i've been using my 2.0HB almost 2 yrs and never get to know about those L/100km thing.. 
what i know is to fill-up when it shows less than 100km to 'Empty'..
Personally, I think most people around the world drive or buy Mazda not for it FC but mainly the look, and handling.  If FC is your priority, perhaps I suggest you go for altis, in fact it is not much different. Or maybe consider Prius.

nuff said.. people buy Mazda not becoz of its FC.. 
as for me.. until now... I never get boring when I look at my car... it's simply gorgeous.. LOLLLzz...

ya lorr.. just enjoy zoom zoom.. no worries so much in my brain.. thumbup.gif

gear slip as if delay in going to the correct gear after speed bump? i think its normal, tho its delay take longer compared to swift (driven my friend's swift), old city cannot compare lah, its cvt, similar to when i test drive altis 2.0 cvt, even if u read expert review, M3 sudden acceleration is quite decent, the jerk when we hit the pedal can only be felt after a couple of seconds but after that u can really feel of being pressed into ur seat and smoke others away...  laugh.gif

manual downshift to smoke others faster.. can aa?

read this comment from Nissan forum:

I have test driven Mazda3 2.0 (actually was aiming at 1.6 only but no test drive car for 1.6). Despite better handling, more sportier and better equipped (and latest trend) in both interior and exterior, I still find the suspension is too stiff and not comfortable. My future wife told me that she felt like vomiting after I completed the test drive rclxub.gif

maybe his wife already fall in love with other car.. but as a passanger..

i think most power is available at second and 3rd gear.. so you just have to know when to floored the fuel pedal at the right time to zoommmm the car..
*
ya lor.. maybe that civic is also sprinting in lower gear.. if you want to zoom zoom aggresive.. can try using manual shift..

me too driving M3 2.0.. Mileage depends on the driver and i suppose m3 1.6 cannot match vios 1.5.. but if you can wait for skyactiv.. why not wait.. who knows by that time the facelift will include additional features but higher price tag..

my humble opinion M3 wins in handling and design over current vios..

I was told that the top plastic panel (board) behind was loose. I am a bit skeptical (if you have heard my mp3 recording) that it was the cause of the knocking but things can have a funny way of happening I guess. I am so glad it is solved.

so should wait for Sky-Active Mazda 3 to arrive - haiya!

anyway, do u all know those lines behind the rear windscreen are a set of demister and the other set serves as radio antenna (upper part of windscreen)

wondering to tint the car cos might damage these lines in near future.

My SA gave me free tinting from RAYtech.. so far no issue...
