QUOTE(kevinlim001 @ Jun 22 2018, 03:50 PM) depends on how u see it dude.. u pay premium price for a porsche u might get plastic windows .. sometime its to consider the weight.. with the high strength tensile of this car with some part as high as 1800 mpa, this car only weight 1500 kg, they must find some way to reduce the weight. imagine a sedan like civic already weight 1316 kg so windscreen and noise insulation got scarified compare to other Japanese luxury suv like harrier / lexus Ok la this part still can accept. But the paint job on SRC is really disappointing

In the FB group there have been complains on the defect for SRC paint. Apparently the paint is too thin and very prone to chip compared to other paint. Some claim newer batch no more this issues.

Not our local Mazda. It happens all around the world as well. So Mazda international "claimed" newer batches has no more issues. Stone chip very hard to prevent but the paint chip is too over liao.

The paint is too thin and very prone to chip compared to other colors. Anyway for those who's not in the group, here's the original post.

Other colors not that serious but stone chip cannot avoid one. For SRC case, it's beyond stone chip already. It's more like paint defect. This post has been edited by Duckies: Jun 22 2018, 04:16 PM

Btw, the 2nd item that the ang moh shared, 2.5gls will be getting 2.5 Turbo engine from CX9. But i don't think Bermaz will bring that.

But i don't think Bermaz will bring that. yup dun think Bermaz will bring u cos their plan to bring in Cx8. the price range should be close to cx8 d. Mazda 6 already have 2.5 turbo but its not imported here.

QUOTE(kevinlim001 @ Jun 22 2018, 03:43 PM) no touch up required. send back for free. if u accident, one panel at 1 time they can do for u free. they verbally tell me there's a limit only how many times u can go in a year... 1st year 3 times, 2nd year 2 times, 3rd year 1 time and the rest the same. i see. so basically, if no accident, dont need to go back to reapply?

Our price for GL starting from 120+ for a CKD model. In taiwan it cost RM131k (after currency conversion) but they are buying in CBU unit. In my personal opinion the main reason is ownership cost and the other concern might be the assembly of more part like sensor / radar by malaysia plant. are they good enough to assemble all this sensitive component?

Those you need to send back for them they will polish off and recoat. You cannot polish or use abrasive wax to clean it by urself
