Driver seat ok can fit? This is more driver's car la. u will b driving most of the time. Family sure can fit comfortably at the back.

Yeah, as long as the tall person is the driver, there's no issue. I think most people up to 1.8m also should have no problems fitting behind.

From the 2.5 version, u can see a small rectangle on the bumper below the headlamps, thats the washer if it actually works. The red 2.0 pic does not have it.
I checked the boot and theres a circle compartment for what should be the spare tyre housing, but u need to remove the puncture tyre kit tray to fit it in and the compartment looks like it can fit those motorcycle spare tyre size, imho it is sufficient.
*
Well, just wait for someone to buy a spare tire and see if it does indeed fit, if so, then your boot space won't be compromised. Otherwise, it's a serious loss of space there.

This is desirable. The ability to use high beam all the time without bothering other motorist!

Fastest can get the car by this Friday, estimated delivery date on next week.
I was told I'm the first to get the car, at least on this particular branch.

SAd because book since last year August and my SA haven't confirm with my car delivery.

Another thing bother me is should I go conti.. Audi or BMW or mazda6..

So hard to decide meh?

Forget about the Audi, it's got 2 more years left. The Mercedes C class is in its final year. So you are pretty much only left with 1 choice, the F30. You can consider buying that if you don't use any baby seat or if your kid is old enough or if you don't plan on having children in the next few years. You can also consider buying that if you think you're not likely to be ferrying a lot of people around. Otherwise, it's worth buying if you have a 2nd car that acts as a people mover.

It's not that hard to decide la. I only regret not going for the CC because of the specs. Actually, it don't matter, the price of the CC is justified because of the size, just don't look at it from a mechanical point of view and you will be fine. Badge wise, its not up there, but at least it's still respectable.

You know the answer already, if you don't feel comfortable then don't buy. If buy then don't regret. At this point, there should no longer be any doubts brows.gif

Dengar tu bro. we should be grateful we got a very nice commenter giving all the reviews, and opinion eventhough he keep on repeating the same thing, he never bored in giving feedback especially to our mazda 6 thread. I think we should blanje him makan also. Lol
*
There's only 1 D-segment left that might be worth waiting for and that's the new Honda Accord. Tomorrow the new CRV will launch, and we will know what kind of specs Honda is offering. If the new CRV is at least as good as the CX5. There's a very strong chance that the new Accord will be every bit as good and worth the wait. Otherwise, if the CRV launch and price is only average at best, then chances are the Accord won't be much better.

Oh yeah, I suppose there's also the Teana, but I think that's at least 1 more year away so forget about that also.

As for f30, I would suggest to wait until LCI. Better still, opt for a 328i instead of 320i/d.
Also, I heard the waiting list until June or July now.
*
LCI is at least 5 years away and rather than getting 328i, the A6 hybrid is probably a better choice in my opinion.

Thanks for the advise bro.  biggrin.gif

I admit that paying nearly 190k is too expensive for a Japanese car, keep thinking since I had gone so far, why no farer. Yea mazda6 is a best Japanese car, jut the badge doesn't represent luxurious enough. For f30, It provides 60k free s&m, but Im quite reluctant towards rwd, a bit pening when drive it, mayb due to its soft suspension. it's quality is a let down(it might improve in 2nd or 3rd batch, most important thing is, this is turbo engine.

For Audi a4, I more worried on its sc quality and spare parts cost, and it left 2 years until new model arrive. But audi SA told me got add on spec for upcoming batch. Soon SA will provide me the info, the car is brilliant although it is cvt gear box. Overall quality and reliability a4>f30, reputable I think both are the same

VW cc is the best quality in terms of ride and comfort, mayb due to coupe platform, I really like this car, but the price is a bit high and again again again, 7 speed DSG. Zzz. So far I haven't found any VW cc owner to complain about the gearbox, so it is a bit safer compare with polo, golf 1.4 owner. But reputable is not up to par, do pare to audi.

Cons
Mazda6 - expensive and doesn't represent luxurious
Bmw f30 - quality is a let down
Audi a4 - sc and spare part cost
VW cc - 7 speed DSG and their sc causing a lot of problem for VW owners(mayb due to high sales, sc can't cover it)
Lexus ct200h - too small

So conclusion: BMW=Audi=Lexus>VW>Mazda

Pening rclxub.gif

I would not waste time thinking about the A4 or CT200 at all. The only obvious choice in my opinion is the F30 because it's new.

There's 3 ways to do this.

1. Decide based on how much you are willing to pay maximum per month and for how many years. This was what I did in the end. I was not willing to go over 5 years and not over 2k per month. I decided based on my financial ability and it made my life really easy from that point on because my choices became limited to just 2 cars.

2. Wait for the CRV launch later today and see what kind of specs they offer and decide. As I've said, if the CRV specs are quite decent, chances are that the Accord offering later this year will be attractive too.

3. This was my original plan. Buy an interim car and drive for only 3 years then move on towards something better from there. In my case, I almost wanted to just go ahead and get the Camry 2.0G and leap on from there. There are a few cons with this idea but the main issue was that the Camry 2.0G was really a lame offering. Compared with what I had to choose from last year, you now have the new Mazda 2.0 and that car is just in every way a much better choice. It won't be a bad idea to just go ahead and buy the M6 2.0 and then move on towards a better car in 3 years from now.

My 2 cents.

Yalo I should just take a4 year 2012, got discount and it will make my mind comfortable

Yea you are correct, f30 or mazda6 I shall choose from them. Financial wise mazda6 I take 4 years loan, if f30 is 5 years. Should be moderate.

I went Thailand few days back, saw CRV , Honda brio, and new Nissan Slyphy

New CRV is confirm better looking than the current one, interms of exterior or interior, I went showroom and test sit tongue.gif
Brio is so small, smaller than Myvi

Nissan Slyphy is confirm good looking car
*
It's a no brainer man. If you can do 5 years on the 320i, then I would just go for the A6 Hybrid. It's a new car, and in this case, I would gladly take a 6 or 7 year loan just to buy that.

It's surely big enough for many things. Just boot space compromised.

No need to deliberate any further man!

Last year my wife traded in her 07 Honda City for 42k, that's the iDSL spec.

If your Honda City is 8 years old, that's a 2005/2006 year model. Is it iVtec? If it is, maybe still got 40k+, otherwise surely under 40k already.

Here in Puchong branch they used to sent their car to Huper Optik for tinted. Price around RM2500, before discount.
I never heard anything from this brand actually, anyone here?
*
Too expensive. There's someone in this board that offers HO for much less.

I did 3M for under 2k, and it came with 6mm security film.

After discount is around RM1400+ only. It is the matter of your SA's willingness to give higher discount, they are middleman, they do have commission. Or you may need to go out and source for yourself.
*
I did mine outside. Suggest you do that as well, the SA usually takes a cut as well if you go through them and they won't always give you what you think you are getting.

Went see my unit d yesterday at the PJ branch.
And just done my plate number this morning.
Next will be the window tint, my SA ask me to go to Wind Shield. Is this good ? Any other choice?
Pla advise.
*
3M, Vkool, HO, Ecotint are the best choices. Maybe Llumar also but I'm not particularly fond of that brand

The others like raytech, wingard etc would be 2nd tier choices but could be just as good.

But this kind of things, I just stick to those well known reputable brands.

Should i take, and what type of film would u recommend and hows the film specs. Tq in advanced. Totally noob.
*
Do outside will be cheaper and can ensure quality.

Vkool, 3M, HO, Ecotint all good quality. Don't worry

Vkool - Elite series best
3M - Crystalline series
Ecotint dunno
HO - Ceramic series (I heard this has the least amount of problems with GPS and Smart-tag)
Llumar - dunno, but they are security film more than for solar.

The rest really dunno

I managed to push down to rm2400. Dont know worth it or not. Ive ask one HO sa, price around rm2300.

HO or vcool. Sigh.

Bloody ex man.

When I bought my car. My SA quoted me 2k for vkool elite. There's no way the Mazda 6 has a bigger windshield compared to the VW Passat.

I tell you, go outside and do better.

Yup. I noticed it too. The rear side screen is too small. Visibility might be affected to those sitting at the back. For me its not worth to have the premium film for the side. Better to choose something cheaper for it due to the smaller size.
*
Actually, the affected person is the driver. If he needs to turn and look to see any oncoming cars, especially if he needs to turn into a sharp and odd angle then the C pillars would be a major visibility headache.

Don't think the RVM will be of much help in this case.

Just make sure that they really give you vkool elite. There's alot of SA that's guilty of not doing that and you would not know either.

I hope for minor touch up wouldn't be a problem. nod.gif  Perhaps maybe need to bring back to Bermaz paint shop?  icon_question.gif Not good also...  shakehead.gif  they can potong/cut throat people. Gonna get a good car insurance provider. First year gonna try their panel insurance. Berjaya Sompo Insurance Berhad right?

Anyone had any experience or heard of their good/bad service.

I'd avoid that like a plague. Most of my friends were cursing left and right at Berjaya Sompo and Kunia. Go for Tokio Marine or Allianz or Mitsui Sumitomo. Can't go wrong with them
