Thanks for the tips! Appreciate it.

Yeah sa said all defects will be fixed as it is covered under Mazda warranty. Fixes can be done later.

Not test drive lar. Turn on the car test the power window etc.

If the defect is not serious, you think can accept, just note it down and wait for 1st Service to fix lor. If too many serious defect, refuse to sign, and throw the car back at SA.

Congrats

Remember to check the paint job.
I saw in the showroom, the red & gray sedan got orange peel paint very obvious only at bottom of the doors after curve line, but not so obvious for white sedan. SA told me is like that one bsc to protect paint scratches from the stones since the bottom of the door near to road surface

from the place i did the coating, the boss there say mazda has the worst orang peel problem, even on m3, m6 and cx5 after he done some many cars


on another note, just pump full tank today using RON95

FC for prev tank is 32.49MPG or 13.81km/l or 0.07l/km
used 36.56l for 505km using VPower Racing

lets see how much difference using RON95 will have this time...

Even on youtube some of those Mazda 2 videos shown has orange peel. Easily spotted near the "SKYACTIVE Technology" badge

Orange peel..

What? I don't see any difference. The only orange I have been seeing are mandarin oranges.

the paint is not smooth, like lack of the clear lacquer to smoothern the paint

u see the spot light reflection off the car? its not smooth, all kedut-kedut like orange peel

now compare that to this

yea bro.. last week saw 1 grey sedan at Raub.

Check this out. And then you look at the earlier link tht i posted on Mazda2. You can find similarities.

Kedut kedut is the best way to decribe it. Blurish.

Wtf, then the reason why it's also near the "SKYACTIV Technology" is because people see the badge so nice, so will want to touch it. Therefore it will protect scratches from people's finger nails.

Coating is supposed to cover the kedut kedut? Can I return the car to the SA because of this? Not fair leh, new car is supposed to be very shiny. Not kedut kedut.

Waiting to collect my car.. After done down payment on this morning... Suppose to be next week and woahhh after pressure SA say either tomorrow or sat..

haiz, bank only sent letter of undertaking to mazda dealer today...

The place looks familiar. Are u collect ur car at Mazda juru?

congrats on the new car. PRIMA MERDU Krystal Point bro?

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?

His FC is better than yours. He's getting 13.81 km/L which is 7.2 L/100km.

His FC better. Your FC only 12.8 km/l. Highway driving or mix driving?

Skyactiv is one of the few engines with higher compression ratio (12:1), will supposely benefit from RON 97. Most cars usually about 10:1.

i doubt they can do anything, since all mazda coming from thailand is like this. Maybe CKD better paint job?


not really, the car still less then 1000km, i never rev higher than 3000rpm

i pumped VPR cause in my 2.0l Lancer last time, it gave the most mileage compare to R97 and R95. But as i experience b4, VPR seems to only give more mileage on bigger CC cars. Hence today i use Shell R95 and see if can get the same or similar mileage. if yes then i will use R95 instead and maybe test on R97 next refill

Will check the trip comp later for the avg fc and speed

i wonder what the average on my trip computer
