So overall, ok to go?
i agreed with you with all the pros, that's why i'm choosing it. however, the new skyactiv technology, so far any kacau with it? will this easy to maintain in long term?
for the cons, loud road noise might due to the 18 inch rim? the knocking sound i guess it can be fixed, it will be a minor issue?
not sure for the issue for playing song of 150 above will hand the lcd head unit...anyone have that happened?

for those features they have cut it, i guess it can be changeable for some of it right? camera, auto dim. leather seat they are giving free as 1 promotion...

* anyway, what is the current best offer they can give right now?

Confirmed there might be problem, Mazda is now recalling their units:

Please let all your SA know about it so that they can tell BERMAZ to get in touch with MAZDA Japan. And send the new Program for software upgrade.

Then all the owner can make appointment with SC to have the software upgrade.

all owners can send this i-Eloop issue to SA and ask them to bring it up to BERMAZ.

We already have the latest update software for this issue.

Kindly make an appointment with our SC.

If the rattling sound not obvious, never mindlah.. Because RM300k car also got this type of issues.

I did update my map last month.. don't seem to have any difference. 

Bro, bumper is meant to be bump ya
mine second day already kena by motorcyclist.

probably is the demo car in showroom?

Last night I update my navigation SD card through mazda usa website to download the tool box. There is an south-east asia update package.

but after updated, the second bridge still not there. KNN, navteq is so slow in updating their map

welcome 
whats your mileage? i was having tht problem before, 1k service they told me lower arm bush problem, but need wait for parts to arrive

however after like 2k mileage, the sound disappears

I have this issue as well and immediately ask for RHS armbush replacement during my 1k service, but SC said that bermaz deny my request by saying apply grease would solve the problem. Bermaz has send an instruction list to SC n guide them how to fix it, apparently they put the grease at the lower arm, the problem is gone but I still can hear some sound during big bump and rainy day, small bump no problem.

Oh btw , I did it @ Mazda sg besi, good service there.

Yes indeed...SC also did the same thing on my car....now ok oledi.

I serve by a guy call Johan , not sure izit the 1 u mention. For me lot need to improve for Mazda if compare to toyota & honda , I'm driving City 09 previously and received a superb service from Honda, from service advisor to technician. 

for the sound,sc technician told me is cause by the malaysia's weather. heavy rain,super hot n so on..czu the weather in japan is diff with malaysia. this czu the screen become less n lesser. i send it to sc, they jst check thru rhs n put some grease onto it, then the sound disappeared. i don knw whether the sound will be appear in the future or not if is the weather problem.

One of the guys in m3c say toyo tyres.

Or maybe go for Dunlop sport maxx again?

Originally m3 car is toyo.... then this batch is dunlop....
Sent my car to service... found out few things.
1 lower arm bush is known by bermaz but forbid parts change n only grease it. Issue might come back in few months. Not sure then we should re grease or change parts
2 the ieloop ecu flash available but not recommended for those without issue
3 changed to full synthetic oil as recommended by sc for skyactive engine.

Can share how rattling sound solved?

5.7l/100km claim FC, unachievable.....up till now still 9.1l/100km

hi,all bros/sis,anyone of you requested to change rhs arm? or how you guys fixed the issues?mine 1 applied grease n the sound seem reduced but the sound still there after few days of raining days n 1 time car wash.
