How do you get back to Normal previous mode after watching?

You estimate around RM1,200 to RM1,500 per service. 

Just to clear things up, after warranty or your free service, the amount very highly dependant on the Engine Oil you're using.

Shell Semi Synthetic + Oil Filter + Checks + Labor = $300-$350
Shell Fully Synthetic + Oil Filter + Checks + Labor = $450-$500

If other brands of Engine Oil (Fully Synth), example
MOTUL 8100 + Oil Filter + Checks + Labor = $600-$700

The above are for normal basic service.

Who to PM for the Facebook M3C?

i was told RON 97 and 95 got big diff ... but didn't try be4 la..so far ... going to try it soon if i go outstation 

Lots of people come here and ask these questions. We don't have a firm answer because we all not car expert like The Stig.

But here's my 2 cent review after driving 6 months.

First, won't tell you about the specs. You can find them in Net or SA so, skip that.

a. Driver POV
If you drive those mass production cars like Civic & Altis, you feel M3 a bit different. Different in terms of how you fit in the drive side. Buttons and other important stuff are easy to reach. Speedometer, MZD, panels are very close and doesn't requires you to move more to reach. Just sit like a robot and can do anything.

b. Passanger POV
Sitting on front driver seat also feels the same as driver. All are within reach. For back seat passanger, you will feel crampy especially you are more than 5 feet 7'. This is because the seats are design for "vertical" feel and not like Altis, where you can recline, this one quite stiff. Also, the rear window is relatively small, can be a problem for those have that dunno-what-it-called phobia. Despite longer wheelbase, the rear can best fit 2 adults and 1 children. If you fetching 3 adults, this car don't really fit for long drive.

c. Handling
A lot of people might confuse with handling. Because Altis also claimed that their handling is good. Even other lower C-segment car also claim their handling is 4/5. But why people say M3 handling is good? Answer is cornering. You can feel much in control in cornering and felt the directions of the wheels. Others claim thier cornering is excellent, but you have to try M3 yourself. Only other that have good handling is Ford.

d. Performance
M3 is not the best performance here in low end. You feel sluggish in low end. (Mainly acceleration) But you do feel the power in mid to high end. This is because the Skyactiv GB which mimics the CVT and DCT concept. CVT has always know to give seamless transmission and save fuel. When I'm driving at low end (meaning minor press on acceleration) I felt like driving a CVT GB. When you drive at mid to high end, then you feel the power (Can't comment on DCT because never drive before) However, I agree with some reviewers in Youtube. The Skyactiv GB kinda "lazy" to shift gear. When I felt low power, I switch to "manual" via paddle shift. This is where as I shift to manual, the GB already shift to low gear, and using paddle shift, means drop lower gear. Thus, be careful of shifting manual, advise to use the stick for manual than paddle shift.

e. Maintenance
So far, can't tell how much maintenance is and cost. The disadvantage here is currently, no suppliers to provide the parts. All from Japan. Good thing is at least the parts in Japan means more durable than local. No? 

Overall, bear in mind this car is claimed to be build from scratch. It's not benchmark with other C-Segment cars. It just to achieve efficiency, power and fun to drive. This car is more for people towards performance and fun to drive. Something that defy convention.    If you looking at family sedan, write this one off...

yeah, handling for M3 is the best among all c segment jap cars....i did try 100km/h speed with sharp connering (entering to exit point almost 70 degree within 50 m), no problem at all 

the front wheel give you direct response to the steering

although it is a power steering, but it also gives you the stiffness, and let you feel your tyre maintain good tread contact with the road..   

i guess, if you drive up to Genting, you will notice the diff, it is fun to drive, and it is a driver car 

Curious,
20mins start count from which point?

Where did you fixed it and how much? Unfortunately mine also scratch a little, think to do some touch up too.
