Plan to use Huper Optik 

Tribos quoted me RM2,600 after discount (original price RM3k). Diamond is around the same pricing.

Sierra Glow is around RM700 - 800 for standard coating. If go for Blue Flame coating cost RM1,600.

G Guard is quite expensive >RM3k+ for three layer coating.
haihhzzz... nothing comes cheap these days....   

Mazda 6 2.0 vs 2.5 is a good pricing bench mark in this case.

For those wanna view the car, can go to showroom next to Federal Highway

Walao.. Rich man lah..

I can only afford RM140k car only..

Just return from the showroom, Bermaz SA girls are cute

Here's the All New Mazda 3 2014 photos...

Confirmed is manual seats, I'm very disappointed with this.

I can't answer you this about does it feel premium like conti car.

Seriously, I haven't sit on a conti car so no comment.

CBU is better than CKD. Without doubts. As for the interior, the photos we see in Mazda 3 USA is more advance than us. The air cond panel feels like B segment car. Lots of emptiness felt. The seats is comfortable in fabric but don't feel premium. The sunroof have to manual close. Didn't try to open it though but believed if you press the open button, the inner slide will open as well. Only manually close it but if you don't, you got a moonroof.

The dashboard panel is hard but can feel a bit soft, better than the previous gen Altis. The steering is good feel but I guess all steering is the same anyway. Seat need manually adjust, that feel like B segment here. Boot space is quite small actually. Nothing to shout here. My honda city is more spacious.

Back seat is comfortable but quite cramp. Probably because of the window panel small, feel tight. Again the fabric seat is comfortable but doesn't feel the premium conti car here. I sit together with another guy and think behind is suitable for 2 adults and a child. Child must sit middle.

The only thing I'm concern is the DRL. Somehow, the DRL seen onRyosuke photo is more like small headlight switch. Unlike other DRL that is really only DRL on.

So, bro. I can tell you. This car feels like a ordinary Japanese car. I got this feeling like sitting on B segment car, only bigger. But the dashboard panel isslightly better than Civic or previous gen Altis. If you want premium conti car, I can't think of any right now. Switching to Mazda 6 is a better option.

If I can afford, I also will switch to Mazda 6 but alas, no money, so stick to M3. 

There, that's my opinion. Ask yourself why you booked the car in the first place. Then you know. There are lots of disappointment but still, it's a beautiful machine.

One thing, Mazda 3 don't have DVD player like new Altis. So you can't watch DVD.

It also don't have the surround sensor like CX 5.

So, I'm calling my SA tomorrow on when can I get my car.

Errr.. I thought you went to have a look?

Mine is 2008 City VTEC.



Rear seat is comfortable 2 adults 1 child. 3 adults...  short distance oklah..

Rear is more spacious, but not like very spacious. Adequate legroom. Honda City ceiling is higher.

I wanna wait for hatchback but ..

Looking at the spec sheet from mazda oversea, there is 2 type of DRL of new M3, one is nornmal DRL another one is DRL with LED. Can some one verify our version is which type?

Also from about the emptiness, we lost right side of steeling wheel button and 3 out of six button from other side.
So is half empty 

Let just hope Bermaz will do it right later for the Hatch version

Based on all you complainers    , I think Bermaz will bring the car with specs below:-

Interior:

1. Full strap leather steering with tilt and telescopic adjustment with paddle shift and multi functional button*

2. Smart Keyless entry and push start button.

3. Dual Zone Air Con with digital display.

4. 7' TFT display (without Commander Switch) for DVD player and Reverse Camera functions.

5. Leather seat with electric adjustment (Driver only)

Exterior

1. 17' inch RIM

2. LED Projection headlamp with DRL (no washer) with auto leveling an AFS

3. Fog lamp

4. Rear Spoiler

5. No sunroof

6. "Shark" version of radio receiver

Extra Features:-

1. 4 Air bags (driver, passenger, side curtain)

2. ABS, EBD, BA and DSC (no TCS, iEloop, & iStop)

*Function includes answer/end call and voice command, MID display and Cruise Control

There. Will cost around RM132k CKD (Based on 2014 Altis spec)

Cheaper 7k. Now that's a Mazda 3 we all wanted... Aren't we?

Lucky you bro, at least your car is already queueing up for Puspakom inspection.
My loan was processed yesterday and approved on the same day, but was informed by SA that Puspakom is already full and can only do it after CNY.

I got a good interest rate from PBBank though, 2.35% for 6 or 7 years 
Most of my loans (property, old car etc) are loaned from PBBank.
