are u looking for the new m3 or the 2nd gen?

1. no rain sensor for new m3, some major problems list in page 1
2. after free service, estimate bout rm400-600 for normal svc
3. wouldnt buy a 2nd hand car unless i know the owner itself, otherwise, don't know what happen to the car before, no warranty also (depending on the years)

4. 3rd gen m3 looks cooler~  

My suggestion is that you to consider Toyota Altis or Camry.

You get less headache.. 

Seriously, if you very worried about the cost of maintenance, you should get Altis, Camry, Perdana, Inspira..

Because if you involve in accident, Mazda parts need to wait for 3-4 months, depending how damage your car is.

Parts are more expensive than Proton, Perodua because most of the parts are imported. And I tell you, "imported" doesn't mean lasting though..

People choose Mazda cars is because it "defy convention". 

Just to get things right with the "Current Mazda"

Most Mazda parts are now easily available and won't even take more than 1 month to get it from Japan as there are more parts shipping in monthly compare to before.

As for maintenance, its totally free for 3 years or 60,000km. After the free maintenance, here's some rough estimate on service

Normal service = Engine Oil (Semi) + Oil Filter + Labor = RM250 - RM300 +/-

how about the lower arm part?is it arrived and ready to replace?

haha was about to enquire tht question but i already know the answer, which is no....

was told by SC that most prob end of the year, but hey, no promises there

whats the final price?

so far, nvr heard any member took the tribos coating

i've posted afew other options in group, prob u can check it out

Yeah. They say don't worry. They locked already right? Me too. I found out when I was there talking to another SA. Then this guy with another SA wanna sit inside my car. I stared at the SA, then he quickly say this car is sold.. That time, my reg. number haven't got yet. So, they put a mazda 3 plate on it. I told the SA I'm not happy. If I'm not there, sure got children jumpin in my car already. 
Forgot and no proof because SA can say he drove your car to puspakom for inspection. 

How much is your budget bro ?

Tribos coating makes your ride look shiny and it protects your paint from getting dull faster than without coating.
It does what other coating brands do actually.

However, it does not protect your car from stone chips as well as bugs sticking at your bumper when you drive fast at night on the highway.
Other coating also doesn't offer any protection from these.

For maintenance, I wash my car on my own since washing outside could damage your coating layer if they use non pH-7 shampoo.
On the other hand, washing with water is more than enough for light dust / dirt which is fairly easy.
For slightly heavy dirt, use a natural pH car wash shampoo.
After each wash, wipe your car clean otherwise you may start to see watermarks.
Yes, it is overpriced and over rated I think.
Even for half the price.
Actually, I did Tribos coating to my Mazda3 meteor grey. 

My opinion is it is quite troublesome to maintain it but after each wash you will always admire the shine.
The only easy part is cleaning my rims where the brake dust easily washed away by water. 

I would still not go for Tribos as there's other better options out there

As a Tribos customer, I concurred with XiuKeong.
Partly due to how they treat their customer, I'm not happy how they explained to me about the care and the warranty.
I heard about how they intend to not honor their 3-year warranty but since I just had my car Tribos-ed for only 3 months, I haven't experience that yet.

There are other brands that offer yearly free re-coat.
Go for that, or just go for polish and paint sealant every 3-6 months.
The accumulated damage is about the same IMO.

What's your recommendation for better options out there bro?

Regular weekly car wash w/ wax & polish twice per year.

If I'm not wrong, after discount it should be around 1.5k

So given a chance, you would go for another brand with better service & FOC re-coatings bro?

Complete package should cost around 2.8k.
So 50% off should be around 1.4k.

Actually, if they treat their customers well and stay true to their product warranty claim, I don't care the premium paid.
And by right the coating itself should last the warranty period if it's a really good product.

To answer your question, yes. I would go for other brand.

And just to add on, they didn't provide me with the after care manual.
Plus you have to pay extra for the Tribos shampoo and detailing spray.. which also they didn't offer to me when I picked up my car.

Be light on your pedal, the car will reward you with low FC.
Push the car a bit and you'll smile with the drive.
