I am interested to buy Mazda 3, but really concerned about all the complains on the low arm bush/ suspension noise which a lot owners complained. Many ppl also complained that after replacement, the noise still come back.

Any opinion or thinking on this issue? rclxub.gif  hmm.gif

Its just meant that this car so good in other aspects... that they noticed these sounds... because you have nothing else to complaint about... and basically it wont affect your car's performance... its still the top notch zoom zoom with kodo yo~

Not really sure after seeing all those complains on Mazda Malaysia Facebook…

to be honest.... do you rather see your car only has this suspension sound issue but comes with decent spec, best NA engine among C-segment and no issues on the performance whatsoever... or you would prefer a milo tin altis, noob spec, godlike pricing, and cut corner on safety features.... go see their altis forum... you will see how frustrating the owners are.... but of course... now you have new civic to compare with... rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif rclxm9.gif

I'm still planning to go for M3 despite all these, you can refer to earlier posts in this topic or refer to:
LYN Mazda 3 Club V8

M3 owners give really positive comments on the car even with common knocking sound problem.

how about the new civic? would you consider... if the specs not much difference from m3 but pricing definitely higher than even a full spec m3... hahaha

I did consider and read a lot comparisons from overseas for Civic VS M3.
But i've always like M3 since the day it launched in Malaysia, Civic design is also pretty nice actually.
But i heard the waiting list is already more than 3 months, and it havent even officially launched yet.

From overseas review, they say civic is more like an all-rounder car, while M3 is more like a driver car, with better handling but smaller leg room and boot space. But i'm looking for a car to be mostly driven alone, maybe sometimes with my boyfriend, so i think leg room doesnt really bother me. If talk about boot space, M3 backseats are foldable, but i heard civic ones arent. So if you take into account on the foldable back seats, actually M3 should be able to fit in more large items.

And Civic's new features do sound very cool, with walk-away auto lock, remote engine start, smart monitoring system (still not sure what it is). But remote engine start sounds not so practical for me, a bit like for show purposes. I think it's only good when you park under hot sun, and u have time to walk near it, start the engine remotely and wait for the aircond to go cool; or in the morning u warm up your car before driving it?

Walk-away auto lock seems M3 HS got that setting in MZD? But M3 has a lot other safety features, like Smart City Braking system, Adaptive front lighting, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, high beam control, etc. And with 3 years free maintenance.

Anyway just my thinking.

thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif thumbsup.gif haha... i think m3 will be best selling than civic... if only asian mentality not in place... space is a concern.... either way.... the m3 still look very sporty even until now... the civic is futuristic but not really nice from my view... hahahah
