If i'm not mistaken, 5 years free maintenance only applies for 2012 car not 2013.

Very quiet here the mazda forum...wondering where are all the other users:-) I will getting my m3 2.0 sedan by this weekend... As mentioned now come with free insurance + 2k rebate + 5 yrs warranty + 5 yrs free service... To me this is the best timing to get my zoom zoom:-)

I made the booking on 13 Jan, trade in my 9 yrs old SAGA for 6k, loan 90% which is 112k for 2.44% for 9 yrs tenure. Loan approved on 16 Jan and agreement signed on 17 Jan night. The color that i wanted only left 1 unit, so i have to wait the sales agent to lock and send to their warehouse... The best thing for me is i dont even need to pay 1 cent to get my M3...reason being 112k loan + 6k trade in + 3.5k (free insurance) + 2k (rebate)....all just nice...and i even can get around 1.7k cheque return from the insurance company because of my 55% NCB transfer from my SAGA to the new M3:-)

Nothing much from the sales agent, free full tank and Smart-Tag only....and i also ask him to install the auto pedal dock lock and reserve camera for me...of course i have to pay for it....    

As i mentioned earlier...if u wont sell off the car within 5 yrs...2012 or 2013 doesnt give u much impact.... I went to Sri Petaling branch....

The 5+5 is the best in town offer...u cant even get it from Ford and VW....    

Depends on what u want.....if u wanna compare with spec by spec....mazda 3 2.0 is on par with Civic 2.0 Navi....but Mazda is cheaper about 10k....and with 6 airbags.....u do the maths.....civic is bigger in cabin space...but i dont like its outlook personally....and Mazda is famous with its handling and stability in high speed as i need to travel between JB and KL quite often....

So u either pay less for more (mazda) or pay more for less (civic), you make the decision:-)
