if just look at features and price then we all know the answer lar. why they never compare bmw 3 1.6 turbo vs peugoet turbo vs preve turbo? see who comes out winning... if anyone says preve turbo win, i wonder where bmw can put their face.....

bmw 3 1.6 turbo - 135 hp and 220 Nm
http://paultan.org/2013/07/03/f30-bmw-316i...alaysia-rm210k/

preve cfe turbo - 138 hp and 205 Nm
http://paultan.org/2012/04/16/proton-preve...rm60k-to-rm73k/

peugeot 306 turbo - 156 hp and 240Nm
http://paultan.org/2010/11/18/peugeot-308-...ssion-rm118888/

again if we just look at the price, who win?

It is true. There is a lagging on between switching gear.

This is because Skyactiv GB combines the best of CVT and DCT.

So, at low end, you feel like driving a CVT gearbox. At mid to high end, you feel like driving DCT (Although I never tried DCT before.  sweat.gif )

However, the Driven episode didn't mention that the Altis they using comes with bodykit, which you need to topup RM2,500 (Or is it comes with?)

So, up to the viewers discretion. But one thing is again, why they keep saying handling for Mazda 3 is same as Altis.

This is the most confusing of all for because Mazda 3 or Focus or even Persona.. All will say handling is 4/5 ratings.

I must go test drive Altis corner at 100km/h. Is it really good handling.

all car do cornering at speed of 40km....so all also good handling lor.... tongue.gif how u define handling anyway.... speed during cornering? or steering vs tyre precision? just don't tell me is up to personal definition then ok.

Just placed a booking on Soul Red today ,

Kinda dissapointed with some ethical/professionalism issues of SA .

1. Discuss everything , ended up placed my order into dealership without my knowledge instead of Bermaz .
2. Found out , demand a change if not I will pull out and buy myself from dealership .
3. The loan agreement will be change soon , today meet up again , been told has resigned on Monday , but today say will do my sales + my dad sales as final before leave (whatever la) , I already feel not happy/uncomfortable , but still proceed as loan have been approved .
4. Condition is must deliver by latest next Friday (no excuse whatever) , if not I want to cancel the deal .

All these hassle , seriously.....kinda pissed me off .

I should have just buy from @lucifal from Sg Besi , recommended . Informative and patient guy to answer all my queries. Thumbs Up

Air Filter change 20k km onlylah.. And if you got K&N Filter, they will give you the new filter. Good because they don't keep it and sell to others to earn.  tongue.gif

But although Mazda comes with 3 years free service and labour, there are conspiracy in it..  shocking.gif

We all see cars nowadays offer free service and labour for 3-5 years, meaning these period, you don't have to pay a cent for service. Noticed that SA always ask you to pay something that is not covered? Because they too wanna survive.

Companies keep pushing their cars with offer and rebates you can refuse. But the number of service centre is not growing same rate as selling the cars. Meaning 1 SC used to accommodate 20 cars, now have to accommodate 40 cars and growing. To maintain these, SC need more technician but due to first 3-5 years unable to earn money because of package, they will either simply service your car or not service at all.

I used to think why my Honda City got this jerking problem and keep sending to Honda service centre, they can't resolve it. Best part, it only happen after the warranty expires. Now, I know that these SC deliberately service "poorly" for your car and hope it can damage in 3-5 years after warranty expires so they can earn through you changing parts.

Honda knew the SC can earn money, that is why they recommend that user to change their engine oil every 5,000 km no matter using mineral or high performance fully synthetic.  shakehead.gif

no wor... i tried with last old car toyota and honda..its okie..... it think its depending on SC branch one. i service my old honda at cheras last time no issue..but my uncle service his honda at subang many issue one...
i think its all depends on the branch... if the branch is not good then hv to change.... Mazda some SC is operate by Bermaz itself, there are also not operate by Bermaz but official SC center. Like the one in sg besi SC is not owned by Bermaz, so they can have some flexibility in terms of service and offer.

Not sure of your Honda in Cheras. I service in PJ and USJ. Both keep saying they can't find the fault and ask me to change this and that..  doh.gif

But this theory seems plausible...  hmm.gif

yes exactly like what my uncle describe to me... change this change that... but doesn't solve the issue sometimes... and sometimes no issue also they will ask to change some parts....
