Why CVT no good or no pick up?

Yeap. V40 maintainence is very high. In fact volvo service cost is on par with Merc.

linear pickup, no gear change feeling, droning.

Hehehe.......... At least u have a good reason to change.....to get a turbo car. I really don't have a reason....just gatal only!

Ayioo, this is real scary la! The more I read, the more I wanna stick on with my present car. It's a dream to drive,no issues and reasonable maintenance.

I think couple of days at the Thai border every now and then, is money better spent with a whole lot of more fun...... !

Cant brain why they dont give the hatchback the same specification.

The droning sound and "fake" shifting experience.
Its just me. Others might prefer CVTs.

The new CKD version of Mazda 3 impressed me! Packed of toys / features. But I just have single concern; the air conditioning button setup. If only Mazda could give some setup like the dual zone aircond (as pic attached), it is much premier style to us


Sadly, the same single zone aircond and button setup is for both Mazda 3 and the new incoming CX-3 as well


After all, it was a good sign to see automotive market in Malaysia / manufacturer starting to set a high benchmark to please Malaysians taste for car (features i mean)

In bolehland, it's all a sales tactic......screw the public,maximize profits! In a lot of countries, hatchback will have more sporty suspension setup and this will cost a bit more than then sedan.

Yes, SC in JB is sucked. Called to service on 18/3 and told to come on 1/4.... I serviced my car in KL on 19/3.

Mazda surely need to increase more SC in JB area.

That is the general CVT characteristics but better cars with better CVTs do not exhibit the droning sound too much. Though I agree the droning sound from the poorer quality CVTs commonly found in Proton cars is pretty bad.

Test drive it..impressive car but road sound too loud..

Has anyone who test driven the Mazda 3 CKD HB also drove the ford focus HB?
specs are almost the same. mazda wins hands down in terms of look. but how about driving experience? i heard the ford focus after discount only 113k and its cbu from thai

omg...i'm so in love with this car!

Should I wait for the 2016 honda civic or go for Mazda 3 ckd now? I believe the mid spec Mazda 3 sedan is one of the most affordable 2.0 sedans (not taking into account Inspira) out in the market now, correct me if I am wrong.

So tempted to go the showroom right away but I am located in Ipoh and read some nasty reviews of the one and only dealer/sc in town.

I went for the test drive d....pick-up like very slow and then quite noisy ler....car interior is also small like vios...maybe I'll go for CX5 instead.

look at how Mazda has jumped. i have faith that it will become no. 6 after P2, P1, Toyota , Honda & Nissan

Thanks to Mazda 3 CKD , seeing them swarming on the road like populating rabbits, there is no stopping them

I was going to book a Civic until the Mazda 3 came out and I jumped ship. The low spec M3 is cheaper than Civic 2.0 and more value for money.

Guys, please join the main Mazda 3 thread in Car Club https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/3305342
