To add on the maintenance cost, once the first 3 years is done, it will cost you appox RM300-400 per every 10,000 km (depending on the wear & tear of specific parts). This is the given estimate by my SA whom I booked the car with.

Check with SC and ask them if can show your the maintenance price list for each 10k mileage.

My Mazda 3(non-skyactiv) normal service is only around Rm150.

Yea the variation betweem skyactiv and non-skyactiv differs alot. Btw tho, on average how much would they charge if you send in for maintenance (i would assumed that u've been driving ur M3 for quite sometime now right)?

Also, in terms of the batt. apparently the all new M2 uses a specific batt (YUASA) and can tahan around 2 years, if used diligently (i.e. turning off the MZD radio, aircond etc b4 shutting off the engine). The battery will cost you RM700 if needed to be changed.

and YES, you can replace the "YUASA" batt with a typical conventional batt. Just that the I-stop will not work.

same with what my SA said too

Check out this video by a German car reviewer!!

Any1 snap photo on the battery or got spec for the battery?

So many type of automotive start stop battery by YUASA.....

my SA told me that the battery replacement is around 200-300
conventional battery sure cannot support i-stop
at least EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) technology can support i-stop, and AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology to support i-eloop which not come with mazda 2

our headlamp... where are u??

From what I observed, normal ~ Rm150, major ~ 700.

I was told by a SA that it wont be an option to add on in Malaysia, and reason why is that it requires a lot of modification both wiring and change in ECU.. Not just a simple swap unfortunately.

They said its to reduce cost of the car so that it can be priced at the current price

Australia also gets the same headlights.

I've taken Mazda 6 2.0 Skyactiv to my mechanic before and he's got the same specs battery for $380. Our M2 battery is smaller so should be cheaper.

Booked on December for Red, SA told me i'll get my car after cny . Isit SA problem ;(

What?! Booked December only get after CNY? So sorry to hear that bro, but it seems that the soul red is very very popular and bookings for it are overwhelming.

My SA told me that mine's in March (soul red booked in Jan), I told her that I'll be pissed if it comes in April when GST hits so she better deliver.

search in mudah varta battery Price range from RM480 onwards

New technology naturally will cost more initially until it becomes a standard. Meaning every car manufacturer out there will have to start using these kind of batteries for all their models for stop-start tech (economies of scale). For now, it's only a handful of them. Eco engines just started coming up only recently in Malaysia so it will take a few years before it standardises (not sure if it ever will).

Battery should be around 4 Plus+ Cause Mazda 3 is around 500+

Where you guys booked your car? Booked so early cannot get before cny? I am lucky already then.
book on mid of jan and i am getting my car this sat or next mon.

I think more importantly is what colour did you book.

Your's sedan or HB?
I think they are having trouble to deliver sedan soul red before CNY

what color? sedan or hb? my SA told me the same thing too.. this sat or next mon.. but i booked gray.. booked on end of jan..

yup.. if red color.. then susah.. hehe.. also depends on the showroom also..
