Guys, I will be getting my Mazda 3 hopefully by 2 weeks time. I was just wondering, did any of you did the G Guard coating for the car?

Is it necessary? Because I saw the price online, for the total package is a whooping RM2500. Just needed your opinion before I spend that amount of money.

Wow yours only 1.9k, the one I found is 2.5k. Still 1.9k is expensive. Guys do you recommend doing it or just leave it?

The coating is basically to prevent the paint from fading right?

2.38% RHB

Was yours approved after April? I just signed mine yesterday with a rate of 2.56%. That's the lowest of all banks offering. and most of them required a guarantor as this is my first loan.

When i sign at the end of May, i still get 2.48 if not mistaken from RHB. 2.38 should be on April and before.

How much you loan from bank? The lowest losn amount the highest interest rate. So far RHB still offer the lowest.

I loan a total of RM64k with interest rate of 2.56%. Is that alright?

The sales person did mention to me when the car is in motion, the touch screen is disabled. you need to use the toggle to control anything. Only when your car is stationary, the touch is reenabled. smile.gif

The safety is for other countries. sad.gif

There, you can set the BLIS and Lane Departure Warning System.. I think.  hmm.gif

I got a Papago P2Pro. Go this lane departure warning system and Front Collision Warning..

Only realized, LDWS is not as good as expected, unless you're a frequent highway user.  tongue.gif

Ah. So many accessories has been removed. sad.gif I really wished Mazda 3 has the front speed panel thingy as seen in their promotional video. for a 140k car, a lot of standard acc not available. Even the button to lock the door? :S

Bermaz deliberately sell expensive.

Because it is simply the best looking c segment car in the market today. Not many cars can become finalist for car of the year.

That's why it can sell itself through looks.

However, I suspect Bermaz wanna make money by removing some parts. So they can earn by selling accessories.

If sell only car, can't make much as cars nowadays can run forever.

Hmmmm. Sad to hear that. Anyhow, do you know if GS Accessories does brake lock? I did it for my Honda Accord and would love to do the same exact one for the Mazda 3. Honda did it for me hence I don't know where did they sent the car to fix it.

If I do it at GS Accessories, it doesn't void any warranty right? Or I do it anywhere also no warranty will be voided as there is no hacking or wiring needed.

Yes, GS does offer for auto brake lock, if i remember correctly, it's 450...previously 380, they said change model...old model no more  hmm.gif
no warranty void if u install any accessories there even wiring modification...so called mazda accessories panel..
if u did at other shop, bermaz have the right to void ur warranty if anything happened...
*
Oh no, I'm not talking about Auto Brake Lock. I was mentioning about the Pedal Lock whereby you pull the lock everytime you leave the car and unlock it when you need to start the engine.

cheap cheap way...go buy a steering lock..ppl see already oso lazy wan steal ur car..

Haha. Not those. You know when we need to start our Mazda 3, we need to actually step on the break before the push to start is activated? This lock locks the break in the neutral position and prevents it from being activated. As show below.

lol my fren used to tell me, if a person really want to steal ur car, no matter how many lock you put, he sure got a way to break it.... else he will just wait for you and jump on you when u unlock the car..

maybe u can put GPS to ur car. is hilang already then can check and issue stop to lockdown the car. i think this way safer...

anyway i just back from cameron.... so far the best is 8.2l/100km... easy overtake, good gripping and great handling.. also i saw 2 new m3 there also.....

True but well its for my satisfactory too. At least I feel secure rather than worrying all the time.
