How many times is that gonna be?

It'll last a month or two and you go back in for another wax / wash.

Need to think for the long haul. If you want to make sure your rides look pristine, weekly washes and occasional top ups with wax is recommended.
Ace only sells the black Plastidip if I'm not wrong.

My fuel consumption from the Fuel Economy Monitor:-

On Shell RON95 (FuelSave @ RM2.10) petrol = average 8.9L/100km (full tank)
On Shell RON97 (VPower @ RM2.80) petrol = average 7.9L/100km (full tank)

** City driving only.
I pump'ed 2 times RON95 and 1 time RON97 usually. Noticed that RON97 VPower gave better pick-up and smoother ride.
*
Thts quite good, mine stayed at 9.4 for some time d

R u a heavy stepper?

I will try ron97 next round

sobs sobs...only driven my m3 for few days...i am on business trip....miss my m3......

got reply from getto

For front full paint protective film wrap package ( Hood, front bumper, 2pcs front fenders, headlamps and foglamps) price as below:

Oraguard 270G (Germany) : RM1600
Mactac cp150 : RM2500

The MACTAC brand from Belgium made of PU material white Oraguard was PVC, thus, Mactac will shine like paintjob do and Oraguard will have abit matte finishing.

expensive....

i use to do my own wrapping, cost itself is much lesser but it takes time & experience to wrap it (guess thts y its expensive)

Hi mazda folks,

I'm contemplating getting the new mazda 3 sometime end of this year. Can  anyone comment:
1)Ride comfort - Is it hard and harsh on the 18inch rims ?

2)Is the car noisy i.e. outside road noise can be heard inside the cabin while driving at high speed?

3) What is the 0-100km/h performance in seconds, performance ?

4) Does the i-stop restarts the engine smoothly without jerk and pause, the moment you take off from a standstill?

Thanks.
*
1) very subjective, i find it better than my old city which has 16" rims
2) yes its loud, but i don't usually notice as my music is loud too
3) i personally tested 9.9s (i am not professional), not very str8 road, as i have to focus on driving, looking at speedometer and monitoring stopwatch + i dint use peddle shift to force it up, just press all the way, i cant multi-task too well
4) bearable, i off during traffic jams, it can be annoying when u are entering paid carpark and press full brake and engine offs, especially when there is bump there

Thank you anandkrishnan. I have the general idea now. It's impressive the car can do 8.2 seconds which is typically in the league of turbocharged cars (and beating the peugeot 408 turbo) and higher capacity NA engines. Probably changing to soft compound tyres i.e Michelin Energy XM2 etc should  also help reduce the road noise. Maybe when someone here changes the tires, they can post a feedback. I'll just have to decide now if I can accept the relatively harsh and a little noisy ride and if it's within my threshold, more so, when paying  a slight premium for this C-segment. Will go for a test drive and decide. Overall, I'm actually impressed after reading the reviews, safe for these 2 concerns mentioned. On a separate issue, what is the safe colour to choose? I heard the soul red was engineered by mazda for their cars. It's inevitable in KL driving, everyone will experience some untoward incidents. Do normal workshops have the soul red colour in case the need arises to respray or touch up the bumper?
*
to answer your color question, soul red only made available for CBU unit~, repaint for soul red is also more expensive as its a patented color
Ea panel respray,other colors RM400, soul red RM600
i don't tink its available outside in other workshop currently
(all was told by SA)

and soul red looks awesome~
