May look at your service manual. My toyota change every 40k km 

I read an article from Mazda that says SkyActiv ATF is meant for life. Let me google later.

hmmm...tough decision (mazda 2 vs city 2014)

I finally manage to record the annoying ticking sound underneath the dashboard using my phone.
Phone was placed infront of the CD feeder, sound apparently is coming from that area.

Please advise if anyone have this same issue?

Yes bro. That's the only sound in the cabin that is severe enough to ruin my zoom zoom experience

There's a reason of the existence of manual book

The air filter is not OEM right ? How much and does it void warranty ?

Happy owner of white mazda 3 till date Have been enjoying my ride for 2 weeks.. Anyone knows how to disable the front passenger airbag?

No, you did not offend anyone, just to let u know it's better to have the prevention n safety on standby. Baby seats is better to be at the back for the sake of their safety.
Just some advise from you guys, is there any obvious qualities difference btw CBU vs CKD from previous Mazda owners?

Is it a good time to get the Mazda 3 now as it's approaching year end where Mazda is clearing their on hand CBU stocks. While the CKD version coming in April 2015 with cheaper tag of around RM15k. Wait patiently for the CKD or get the CBU and paying the premium tag?

One thing that worries is me paying the premium tag, and in the end the CKD comes with the few essential features, Cruise Control, Auto Seats Adjustment, Auto Headlamps, Auto Wiper

I pressed M3, it seems reluctant to go, and dont have the pullback feeling and as quick response as I had in Civic I tested. I wonder is this what the Harve in Driven show said in M3 which the car response is like, "you really want go this fast, is this the speed you want" that kind of feeling..

I read through the older posted and only find out this...

"He is one of the first few owners, so the free leather seat promo wasnt out yet when he got the car. They complained to Bermaz that why the first batch of owners didnt get the free leather seats and they eventually got it."

Damm it! I dun even know I might got the chance to get 2k discount or leather seat installed as I got my car b4 this promotion start...

Should I give it a try complained to Bermaz office directly?  But it is like so many months already.. they might not layan me anymore.

I would like to have leather seats installed...

I think the i- Eloop regenerative components enable it to be qualified. But I wonder when does the tax rebate or so for EEV vehicles kicks in. Or it's just rumours in the air...

My SA? I rather not to talk to her... Make me blood pressure going up..
Never mind... I'll do my own upgrade to leather when time comes..
Does anyone here do the Optimum Paint Coating (Ceramic clear coat)?  The person in-charge told me that after apply the coating the color will slightly turn to orange.. just slightly  

I have a big concern as i like my Soul Red very much.

Has anyone here encounter the same issue after coating?
Not sure whether this happened to all types of coating or only to this ceramic clear coat..

just wanna share with m3 community. last 2 weeks i've park my cark at pavillion shopping mall using touch ngo, suddenly the parking barrier just fall off, leaving a minor scratch at the rooftop car.  so just dont use touch n go card. better use the parking ticket. btw just comeback from 1st service fr. sungai besi branch they offer rm 200 for heat insulator for the front bonnet n rm 600 for trunk skirting

yes i know its different segment. but value for money better take mazda 6?

still eyesore when i wash my car. not rear spoiler. just a piece of skirting at the trunk of the m3. The service quite ok to me. almost 1 hours.  they also give me free car wash but i dont want get caught in traffic jem. ive sent my car around 3pm finish around 4 pm.
