GS is memang banned since the beginning due to poor workmanship and the chop price. Even way before I joined the group. But as you know, they are the only authorized accessories shop for Mazda currently.

So you need to source for 3rd party for parts.

Yup, I also think around that area but actually i do more worried about warranty. Some ppl here said reverse cam will void the warranty but not for auto fold. Confused here.

They won't help to repair the reverse camera if it's installed outside of GS.

Problem is very hard for me to wash car by myself, due to I am not staying at landed property. tongue.gif
So have to send to car saloon shop, but I also don't know which is professional or not, I seldom send car to tepi jalan one, but occassionally will send to the petrol station car wash machine.

If with coating, then cannot go through petrol station car wash machine lor.

car wash centre? Sunway a bit far wer...

Yes, or any car wash center is fine as long it's not machine wash.

Some of them said snow wash is not good for the car but that is the only choice if you bringing it outside to wash. Unless you wash the car yourself smile.gif

Ya, no choice if send to car wash center.
Which mean after coating can go any car wash center lar, not really need to go to those premium car wash center right?

Worry after coating much harder to maintain...
*
Premium car wash also cost extra Rm4 from the normal one. After coating is much easier cause can be wash using water only smile.gif

My ride is having Tribos coating and I suggest you to look for other brand instead smile.gif

QUOTE(GNR @ May 30 2014, 10:01 PM)
Hi Mazda3 owners,

I am thinking about buying a 2nd hand mazda3 (previous model of course) since I've crashed my 10-years-old wira 2 months ago. Errhemm...

I've done some research of my own and honestly this car is quite confusing. GL? GLS? Sport? Non-sport? Which one is 1.6 and 2.0?

The 2nd hand cost for mazda3 is very distorted between the 1.6 and 2.0. It seems like the 2.0 is a much more worthy buy.

I've managed to answer some questions after much googling. However there are a few questions that I am unable to answer and hope that you guys can help me.

1. What is the difference between Sports and Non-sports version? I don't see the difference.
Just a naming convention or probably got some additional accessories
2. What is the maintenance cost like? I've seen the service schedule in the previous thread version, but it doesn't state the cost per visit.
Rm2** for minor service. Major service is from Rm7** to 1,2**
3. How much are the spare parts, say the front/back bumper and head/back lamps which are the places most prone to accidents?
Not cheap unless you find at chop shop
4. What is the FC like for a guy that travels to KL and back from Damansara area like? How much does a full tank of ron 95 costs and how much would he need to pump a month just purely between KL and Damansara?
FC is depending on your foot. Full tank is around Rm85 and based on your route, probably can last 4-5 days
5. The 2012 facelift version has better suspension, handling (according to some forums that I visited) and a more ganas looking bumper, any other difference from the non-facelift version? The facelift version is rare and costs much more. Not sure if it is even worth it to consider.
I only know the facelift bumper is different and also the fog lamp

Upgraded in SC for another RM200? seriously? i thought top up should be ranging from RM80-RM150? or its like you were paying for a total price of another bottle?
*
Motul doesn't come in 4L bottle like the one in SC. Each bottle is appx Rm45/liter.

And for those still have doubt on the semi-synthetic oil for our car, can refer to this link
