Wow.. So many pull out from this car? Really ah?

Ok.

In my opinion, CKD is cheaper but the quality built is not up to standard.

No doubt CKD will packed with more features and same price but I'm not so confident in local assembly. Just my opinion.

If you drive a CKD car, you know what I mean. 

But the sunroof, is manually, Oklah. After all, beginning, sunroof is not my wanted list. 

ckd wont pack with more feature just like how it is with cx5, and furthermore, the price decrease not justify. either you stick with cbu or remove this car from your list since it is not worth the price. so far, no c segment and d segment car on the market fix my bill, sigh

Errr... Honestly, the Mazda 7 inch screen and commander switch can also give the premium feel. 

Only the air cond panel and fabric seat don't give that feeling. 

Then again, I can't wait to spray the rim in black and drive out. Without the small rear spoiler? Never mind. Still looks awesome anyway.. 

What are all the button missing on right panel of steering?

I just went there but the DRL is more like normal car low light function. How to operate like BMW type?

haha i have to agree, it feels too empty on the middle panel as well as the right side of the steering, looks weird

Hi Bros,

I recommend you read my topic here in Autoworld forum:
http://forum.autoworld.com.my/index.php?showtopic=107231

Appreciate that you take my poll when you visit the topic.
Thanks for your feedback as well.

I have been eyeing the Mazda 3 since the new Mazda 6 was launched. I did a lot of research, even to the point of researching the previous gen and talking to owners of previous gen. I also talked to previous gen MPS owners too. Just like many of you here, I placed the RM1K booking for this batch at 1U last November thinking that I can expect reasonable pricing like the CX-5.

The previous gen Mazda 3 CBU was selling at RM131-133K with CD changer, xenon headlamps, rain sensor wipers, LED tail lamps, power folding mirrors, leather steering and leather sports seats, trip computer with speed alarm, auto climate control, lamps on the sun visors, etc. Why is the new gen selling at much higher price with most of these things removed? The 30% tax for Japan CBU units have been abolished, therefore there is more room for profit. So shouldn't Bermaz at least give equivalent specs as the previous gen at this higher price?

What is this nonsense of RM6K standard accessories? What did Bermaz get with the car at RM128K? Seriously, engine bay insulation also don't have, can't Bermaz at least install this locally?

I have surveyed around for Mazda parts pricing and average waiting periods using the CX-5 and the new Mazda 6 as examples. I can tell you the parts are more expensive and there is a waiting period of at least 3 months for something as simple as a side view mirror. Even the CX-5 head lamps are very expensive (RM4200 per piece!), it does not even have any LED DRLs. So don't think this price gouging will stop at the car purchase price. Expect them to squeeze you some more during after sales.

I am very very disappointed to have waited this long only to see Bermaz behaving like another DRB/UMW. At least DRB/UMW parts are cheaper and they have a much better service network.

Still tracking on my whereabouts of the car. 

I think what we have is normal DRL. The LED is reserve for 2.5

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

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?

No 30% Pric reduction?

No price reduction for Mazda 3?

So, the current CBU got change price?

M6 already got sedan. I was hoping they will bring hatchback with M3,but sedan also.  Why no hatchback?

You test drive and share with us.

I don't have time to test drive, so, in the hand of god. 

I saw the new City spec. Feel like wanna cancel Mazda 3.. 

The word.. "HDMI" 

On second thought.. Never mind.
