QUOTE(Elvant @ May 25 2015, 12:54 PM) Got my M3 HB for few weeks now. 1 of the interesting thing you will explore is the I-stop system. The I-stop system required 3 major condition in order to works (plus the wheels is in straight position), if any of the condition is not met, the I-stop will not engaged, or if the i-stop is activated, it will deactivate and the engine will start back. Those condition are engine temp, Battery and air cond. You may see the i-stop status at the application->Fuel monitoring, it will tells you whether the i-stop is ready. The 1st 2 conditions is easily met, after a few minutes drive, you engine temp will be up and ready, the battery will always ready, else you should change the batt. The problem comes to the 3rd condition, Air cond. This is what I read from the sources and my own experience, just take is as 2cents. When the i-stop engaged, the engine stop but your air cond will be still running. (on battery, i suppose) Depends on the fan speed and temp, when the fan is high and temp is low and i stop will be deactivate just seconds after it is engaged. what is the actual numbers I do not know . In most condition, the i-stop will not last more than 30s, it will automatically start your engine even your foot still press hard on the brake, this is because the air cond is not ready. To make the i-stop last longer than a minutes, you will need to turn the fan speed to low or even off. turn the fan to auto will not be any helpful. So, During your day time driving when the weather 'good' and your aircond is turn to speed 2 or more, the i-stop will not last longer than each traffic light stop.  During good weather.. I even try turning off AC.. leaving only the fan on at higher speed.. which last me max 2min.. |

Dropped by the Mazda showroom on the way back from work last week, so far the low end GL spec in white seems to be available, less popular according to the sales guy.
Still no raya promo, grey cars can be had within 1 month (supposedly). I like the look of the dashboard and the controller near the gearbox, very premium looking however the roof liner looks cheap and the rear door panel above the arm rest is easily marked by even your fingernail. Sales guy tries to hide it but he made more scratch marks...
I'd love to get one but still too cheap to spend money on a new car... oh well.

Today I tested with temp 24c and fan speed 2 and not engaged the I-stop for 1st 20minutes drive, then only activate the I-stop for the next stop. The I-stop can hold more than 30s, and the next few stops also can last longer than 30s and some over 1 minutes. I assume when the temp in the car are stable after some driving time and the I-stop seem to works better. How about you guys? Perhaps we can collect some data and draft a good stats.  |

Perhaps we can collect some data and draft a good stats. seems reasonable on that sense. because once i-stop kicks in...the engine stops...which means the aircon compressor also stops... there must be a range of temperature where it will kick in the aircompressor to start pumping in cold air back in the cabin to maintain the temperature. I've experimented it with once the i-stop kicks in, i turn off the aircon, and the engine didn't kick back for quite a long time.... |

 Our tyre size is odd one, 215/45/R18, not many brands offer good one Can try this Falken ZE914, coming out soon in M'sia, heard it is not bad. |

I went to the Puchong branch. Good for normal oil change, if major service better refer back to Bermaz SC |

QUOTE(taobaomojito @ May 27 2015, 12:45 AM) hi all taiko and sifu, jetta or m3? still considering! hi, I actually tested quite some number of C segment in Malaysia over the few months, and will give you my opinions on the 2 cars you asked: 1) Mazda 3 - I decided to buy the high spec after tested the GL and high spec, good look, good handling, nice paddle shift just that no more soul red color and the cabin size quite bad the GL spec I tested, the road handling not so good as the high spec but the tyre noise of the high spec is more significant in the cabin, the high spec I test drive get to 140+km/h easily and the car is still stable 2) VW Jetta - actually everything is good and with 0% interest its quite good, except the look is too old for a 20+ youngster like me. if for family car actually better than Mazda 3, got rear air-cons and better cabin size. the noise insulation is far better than Mazda 3, get to 120km/h and still nice and clear and stable. but the paddle shift, after used need to hold it down few seconds to turn it off is also another down point compare to Mazda 3.
