seriously before i bought my M3, i have the same mindset.....

its rm140k and it comes with fabric seat... so many features cut off... so its kinda rip off by bermaz....
then think again....... if u always compare a car with korean..... korean will always full of features with good price. then no one else will buy other cars dy... so those who bought korean car is really value for money on korean car....
then i think again..... those who bought BMW and Merc paying such a high price but it may not have all features as the korean car too....but ppl still buy those BMW and merc..... i am sure those ppl are not stupid....right???.....the only thing i can think of is $$$. if budget n need big car with all features then is korean. no need think twice. as kiasu as always, we pay little but want everything, korean gives it. if no $$$ then saga. we are just in between and not typical kiasu ppl who wans a good jap car.
i always see the new M3 as something off the typical chart. it gives good driving power yet its not a hybrid with fuel efficiency, istop n ieloop. typical civic n altis n k5 is only drive train with space.... no diff than others. auto cruise features in city? come on... rear air con for a small car? come on.... power seat? good if u have few drivers...i m the only driver so come on..... rear camera, its a plus point to me but i am used to the reserve sensor dy.... then only thing i wanted could be the auto dim rear mirror, auto light and auto rain sensor...

bermaz u listening???
For those that justify why this car is expensive?
a. Skyactiv Technology- You can get 162HP and able to achieve FC at 8.5L per 100km. Compression of 14:1 is the highest in the world currently. (Although I dunno what it means.

)
b. KODO design - If you look sideway, it looks like those Conti Sport Sedan (Jaguar, Mers, etc) but those are above RM220k. This one consider cheap.
c. MZD and Control - Similiar to BMW i-Drive. The cheapest BMW is RM209k.. What else do you want from Mazda?
d. Although only got I-Eloop and I-Stop, already my colleague are impress with the technology. I-Eloop is the main thing why I bought this car.
That is why Bermaz is selling higher because they know this is already one of the best seller in the world and receive lots of praises. In fact, never seen any car that is the "Car Of The Year" finalist in many countries and continent.
Expensive? Maybe but you look at the design, you cannot deny it's a sexy sport sedan. Even now, still got people show up and say, this car looks damn good. And still got girls looking.. Sadly, I got faceproblem.
