Sent my car to Glenmarie service center twice to fix the rattling noise at the right side, seat belt compartment area.. when going on bumpy road, there will be a "tik tik tik" sound coming from inside. Checked before, not the placement of the seatbelt buckle. Anyway.. sent in once, they said they placed sponge inside, still there sound was there, only lesser. Brought in second time.. they said they fixed it.. yet.. the sound is still there. But i consider myself very lucky cause 10 months driving it.. there's the only area with rattling noise.

One more thing.. they rotated my tires front to back and now making noise above 80 to 90km/h and above. Something like a constant high pitch "wooooooo". Took it back to service center.. they say nothing can be done.. tires needed to change.. but its only 10 months.. is this normal?

Not sure whether changing tires within 10 months is normal or not. I did change all 4 tires in less than 10 months time... Around 25k mileage that time. I noticed that there were 2 of my stock Dunlop tires already slightly bengkak, "pregnant"... better be safe than sorry....

What's ur mileage bro? Speed a lot?

Mileage = 22K
Speed = 80 to 120km on an average
Tires = Dunlop 215/45/R17

Front tires Corner rings botak and one side pregnant too. SC told me tire bengkak cannot claim. need to change for safety reasons. What tires did you change to? Cause the current one giving hell lots of road noise. It is unbearable..

Hi all
I would like to ask for some help, does anyone here knows a good salesperson for me to trade in my car(s) and get a new Mazda 3? I have shortlisted a few cars, and Mazda 3 is one of the cars I am looking to purchase.
Got a few questions for those who have their cars already :
- any major/minor problems with the car?
- after sales service issues?
- should I get the 2.0L or the 1.6L model? Are there vast differences between both the cars?

Thanks a lot!

Agree.. Go for 2.0 no regret... The new Focus look very tempting on paper with all the features...

Hello everybody. I have a question regarding the AUX input for mazda 3. May I know how to use this ? Can I buy THIS cable to connect to my USB stick and play music from there ?

Answers will be much appreciated

Is it possible? I thought the auxiliary cable only act as transferring audio and does not read data. One easier way is to get an FM transmitter or an mp3 for your auxiliary cable. Apple's mp3 produce the clearest and best quality.
