I also felt the Dunlop tyres quite noisy, actually I also not sure whether is the tyres noise or not, but when car moving, can heard noise like echo inside the car.

However, with 18' rim and the tyre thickness, can expected hard and bumpy. You should expected it when you bought this car.

Did you guys felt the noise?

Another thing, just now the MZD Connect failed to go into the home screen after I start my car, the Mazda logo keep on showing loading on the screen, did anyone encountered this problem before?

You mean the MZD connect right?

Yeah, tomorrow I will bring it back to Service Centre to check...

Sigh... only 200km+ the software already start to have problem. Hopefully this won't persist so frequent in future.

Did the sc told you why is like that?

ya, fixed mine this morning. SC told me already few people encountered this problem.
I ask him why, he also not sure, but know need to reset and fix the problem.

Well, software always have bugs. Hopefully they will have update or patch to fix this stability issue.

I am still waiting to accept my application.

So is it mean recommended to use fully synthetic when 1K service or Semi will be enough?

If the SA told me after the 1K service, then subsequently will only service at 10K, is that mean they are using fully synthetic oil?

What will they use during the first 3 services? Is it mean fully synthetic oil by default?

By reading all your comments, seem like if want to use fully synthetic oil, need to top up, and semi synthetic oil only last for 5K. A bit confuse, the SA told me service at 10K, if they by default using semi synthetic, why can wait until 10K? But seem like you guys all need to top up to get fully synthetic, if default semi is 5K only... which mean SA is not telling the truth or she didn't study well?

Oh? So which mean if go for fully synthetic. 20k only service once? Is it good for the engine?

Yeah, thanks for the advice.

Shell HX7 E is Semi Synthetic?
This one can be used in Mazda 3? I check the owner manual, dunno E is belong to which class. 15W-40?

Just found out.
I am thinking whether should go for HX7 E or Ultra 5W-40 when reach 1K service...

Will 5W-40 a bit too much? But HX7 E seem like not suitable if running high speed on the highway.

Really?! You compare before?

I use the GPS, and found it quite useful and the car talk to you with the direction, the map quite updated.

Thanks for the advise, will go for Ultra, because Engine is a hard part to maintain, dunno how much damage had been done because can't be seen.

How much you guys get from SC if change to Ultra? I am going to service mine either this weekend or next weekend, almost reach 1K.

Guys, not sure any of you got this mouse sound or not. This morning when i drive to work. I heard mouse noise from the back when the car running on uneven path. This sound similar to my previous persona too. Is very loud and clear even though the music volume is at level 16. Anyone face this issue?

Then when check back seat, found out the leather seat is not firmly attached to the car. It can be pull at the side that near to door, is it original design?

This two issues very annoying, how come 138K car got the proton problem too.

No, not the absorber sound. The sound is come from the back,sound like 'chit chit chit', is like something loose and got sound when the rear of the car shaking. Exactly same like my proton persona issue, last time proton claim is the seat steel sound. Can't believe it happened to a CBU unit...

Actually is not uneven wrap. The wrapping is good. But i am not sure whether is the original seat design or they didn't install properly.

i saw a hole/gap between the upper part and the lower part of the rear seat. And i can see the electronic part behind the seat.

another thing is the side of the seat near to the rear door. I can pull partially of the seat up, feel like is not firmly attached to the car body.Those who had leather seat, please help to check.

as i understand, all mazda 3 leather seat was done by GS Accessory. No???
