QUOTE(fadzly @ Mar 26 2013, 06:19 PM) Guys. Do u guys experience any movement / car moving even with ur handbrake on? Ive experienced it for multiple times now. Should i check for it? i feel the car moving backward when i stop at the traffic lights causing my reflex to pull the handbrake harder but when i try to pull it, the handbrake was already max and i need to push the brake foot pedal. even with my handbrake on, i put it at d gear, the car moves! So far never experience this. Seldom pull handbrake at traffic stops.

QUOTE(kimusu2002 @ Mar 27 2013, 10:36 AM) that's CM98, hahahahah now he is saying M6 is crap, and accord is good buy... then 6 months later, he will say accord is crap, M6 is crap, camry is crap..... Well, can't blame also. Too many options in the market. Keep on compare and contrast. Indecisive. Buy car is long term commitment.

I finally had the chance to use the flappy paddles. I must say, the gear shifts are smooth and quick, no lag from user input.

QUOTE(fadzly @ Mar 27 2013, 11:56 PM) Good for u with the pedal shifter. Mine with those shift knob do feel abit lag. Around 0.5 secs. Shifting using gear knob is different from others as highlighted before, pull down to shift gears up while push up to lower gear. Conventional system is + gear up, - gear down. I wish the gear knob had the Mazda logo as well. This post has been edited by calvin_gsc: Mar 28 2013, 12:20 AM

QUOTE(Neo_Y @ Mar 28 2013, 11:01 AM) Bro, did you try the shiftronic? Some said shiftronic is faster than paddles shift. Since you have both, worth trying and share the response here.  I personally prefer the paddles. I prefer to drive with two hands on the steering. QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Mar 28 2013, 11:49 AM) If u arent sure then ask. Try not to make blind statements. Being able to take corners fast doesnt mean the handling is top class. The 18 inch rims make taking corners much easier compared to my previous rides and yes in that aspect the handling is good. But handling in general refers to many other things and this is whr the K5 lacks compared to conti's and possibly the M6 as well. Trust that clarifies. My statement was made based on how you contradicted yourself in the discussion of tyre pressure in the previous thread. That's all. Other battles you have with whoever and whatever threads, I'm not bothered.

QUOTE(blu3 @ Mar 28 2013, 05:53 PM) I haven't done coating on my car, any recommend? Optimum coating cost 2k, do door to door coating, gguard coating cost 3k, any different between these 2 branding? Any better suggestion? White is extremely hard. To maintain Lol to Fadzly and me Tribos full coating should be under 2K. Covers paint, glass, fabric and wheels. Can be done at Mazda Sg. Besi. Contact lucifal for better price. Yeah, especially with the Malaysian weather these days... Everyday rain... Follow behind cars, the water mist created in front attach to our car. Depends where you park, if always at industrial/factory area sure dusty very fast.

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Mar 28 2013, 05:51 PM) Is there a separate warranty for the Tribos since its a coating? Tribos warranty is independent of Mazda Malaysia warranty. But it's also 3 years (Windscreen 6 months). http://www.triboscoatingsautomotive.com/wa...and-conditions/

QUOTE(cybermaster98 @ Mar 28 2013, 06:02 PM) Paying for the coating is one thing. Maintaining it is something different altogether. If ure not prepared to spend the time and money in maintaining, i would suggest you stick to the polish and wax routine. Polishing too often will result in the clear coat thinning. And the price for polish and wax job varies quite a bit from a few hundred to some that are over 1k.

QUOTE(blu3 @ Mar 28 2013, 06:07 PM) Yea I can maintain it, coating is important for one car, at least to protect for some time. Good coating can make your work of maintain become easier i like how it's easier to clean too.

I prefer sensor more than picture. Luckily for M6, still got sonar sensor for the rear also. Not just camera. Got audible beeps.

After my first service, I did feel improvement in engine response. Don't know it's because of the engine oil.... Or my foot became heavier after first service. This post has been edited by calvin_gsc: Mar 30 2013, 12:43 PM
