I must say, I have very little to fault.. Very impressed so far. Yeah, no LED DRL but once behind the wheel all is forgiven. Loved my little Suzuki and considering I paid the same price for it ten years ago, this red beauty is miles apart. No rattles, good FC, six freaking gears and oh so smooth! No guts to try 6500 rpm yet but it already zoom zoom.

Gear change is smooth and kick down is quick even without Sports mode. Tachometer sweeps around smooth as butter that I needed to pussyfoot so that it doesn't hit 5k. The iStop seems smoother than the one in M6 2.0.

My friend who owned a series of expensive cars like Legacy, Mini Cooper etc was impressed with the interior and equipment level.

MZD lets you double lock, yet to test it out, and lets you automatically lock the car once you walk away from it.
Aussie reviews seems too harsh. Like they have such a high standard so that other reviewers don't look down on them. I'm Pleasantly surprised that the car is better than what they say,
Cons? Body panels a bit soft outside. Center panel where the gear lever is still moves a bit when you push it with your thigh. Back is small but heck, I don't want to fetch so many people! I hardly use the back seats anyway. Center storage not enough. Horn not loud enough. Tires hard to upgrade.

Proxes T1R by Toyo. Reviews not that good

Your boot probably misaligned, mine closes easily with a nice thud. Don't even need to slam it.

SD card might be reserved for the Sat Nav only. Use a thumb drive, I use two

Play with the settings in the MZD. You can lock your car automatically by walking away from your car without pressing any button. Just take one step away and it'll beep and then confirm with another beep and lights. Key must be with you though, haha.

I chose the HB for the short overhang. Sudden turn and changing lanes will be immediate without the weight of a tail. Try driving a Satria vs a Wira. Dynamics will be different. For the same price it'll be hard to get the smaller car though.

In Europe, parking spaces are hard to get, they park so close to each other that the bumpers even touch. And kids are expensive, they don't breed that many of them unlike the people here, LOL. So they don't need so much space?

3M CNY offer, $2300 for tinting and glass coat, better deal?

And what a mess! Haha

There's a case for the battery. I dare not disconnect the battery to look.

Your FC a is rather high, been stepping on it? I think VPR is bad for FC, their regular Ron 97 is better. I have switched to BHP 97 for my M2 and getting around a range of 580 km for the same amount of fuel. I'll pump tml to confirm, thinking of switching to Ron 95 as well, to compare. PaulTan says it's better for FC but I do feel the engine is very smooth on 97. Is it still smooth on 95 so far? Skyactiv is supposed to run on regular just as well..

Fyi, my trip comp says 7.8l/100km, ave speed is 31km, what's yours?

My HB has the feature but you have to turn it on via the MZD.

Best B segment except for space..

Video review a bit too much from girl point of view

According to my SA, oil changed during 1k service

I think this Connected Services is on top of the $1200 Bermaz charge us. Can anyone verify if they got Live Traffic free? Or they're still in trial period?

Sounds like your ABS is very trigger happy. If one wheel is on a patch of slick eg water or oil, the abs might send a judder through the brake pedal.

I Think it shud b ok as first 10k shud be in 5 months. Free service for 36 months, so send your car in early, or else you'll miss out on last service. semi syn shud last six months. After free service, I'll send in every 10k or 1 year;)

I Get 7.6-7.8 for 95% city driving without restrain ie not driving for FC. I'm Getting 30% improvement over my Swift 1.5 which is great!

I'm Also interested in StuffIt

My interpretation is you pay $1200 for the gps software AND pay additional sub for traffic information. First few months of the traffic info is free, then you have to subscribe already.
