R u sure? That line is for demist/defrost purpose.
I also noticed there is no defroster module on upper right.

Is it? Perhaps need to ask SA when go service! I did check on Internet! Some Mazda 3 got the antenna on top of rear glass.

anyone tried silicone spray to solve the kruk kruk sound? May i know need to spray at where?

Initially, the kruk kruk sound was obvious...after a while it is much quieter...I guess it could be the bump stopper still hard when new. What's annoying it's the krek krek sound after heavy rain. It disappears after it dries off.

Fuhh.. Hardcore fan. Congratulations mate.

I'm looking at the same colour and specification soon. Have to pass my auditor exam first to reward myself.

I better off to study now. Lol

i think they trying to bs you. According to here. As long as your mazda 3 skyactiv coming with rear parking sensor, reserve camera is just a plug and play process (as the hardness is attached together with the sensors). If you really interested u can find more information from the link i provided.

anyway, i finally test drove the mazda 3 ckd today @ sg.besi mazda 3S after i place my booking 1.5 months ago.


Initial impression compare against a golf GTi MK6(currently my dd).
The handling is surprisingly good compare against the GTi
The steering input feel sharp and quick yet provide confident in cornering as the GTi, however the steering feel slightly light as compare to the GTi.
Acceleration wise, it gunned better than altis(another car i have access to everyday), but i wouldnt compare it to the GTi (acceleration is what you pay for the GTI). I feel the gearbox is a bit too slow for my liking, perheps manaul pedal shifting in HS will give u more ohm in spirited driving (the car i tried is GS). I wish Malaysia version do come with sport button.
NVH wise, too used to Golf's 18" UHP tyres noise so no complaint here. But i do believe that the driver will be busying gunning the mazda 3 than observing the noise.

Overall impression for the mazda 3 is 8/10 for it price. so i think my booking will be a go and hoping to get the car by end of this month.

Ps. Currently dilemma in choosing blue reflex mica or meteor grey.

highly interested in installing front sensor also!!! i am too short to see the car front end when sitting in the driver seat even with maximum seat height.

dont know is it possible for us to retrofit "screen integrated front & rear parking sensor" aka PCD as sold by Mazda Australia
http://www.mazda.com.au/owners/accessories/info/bmfracrpm-/

omg even max seat high? are u a cat? lol

i think someone in here got a front sensor as sale gift but its aftermarket with extra "dongle" probably showing bars n sound for indication. got 1 on my other ride. this 1 is commonly available. if the part that compatible with mzd then that another story n probably cost alot more

thanks! like i said before also the must be a part for it it just how "willing" sc is lol. been in those forum too but lost in thier thread but i found a fella malaysian with cbu on that thread succesfully done it this time round.

get the blue ! much rarer sight!

Anyone know if got discount for mazda 3, just asked sa in pj he said no discount

Try browse around, esp sg besi branch. Got my bodykit+tinted+leather seat during their super promo back in july. Dont know wether they have that promo anymore, but they are definitely more generous from other branch.

Hehe mine is mid spec only... swapped rims to HS one.

Nope I am TED! Haha btw the aftermarket option doesn't look integrated. I was hoping to find the OEM hardness and sensor with or without MzD integration. At least it function like Mazda 6 and CX-5. Anyway I am researching on that just downloaded Mazda 3 service manual, will keep us posted if any info found.

Haven't got chance to see the blue in person anyway will made my decision soon indeed very soon lol.


Ps. For information sharing, after studying the service manual I found it is not possible to install original Mazda central locking switch + central locking to right hand drive Mazda3. According to parts number, only left hand drive version do have power windows switch panel with lock/unlock button pattern and another issue will be the power windows switch module all right handed drive version do not come with door lock switch.

As for the push start button, Mazda 6 push start button can fit nicely into Mazda 3 so who interested in converting the ugly looking plastic push button into chrome button can do so!

What's the maintenance like for M3? is it as costly as Hondas?

Yup. But I think only for high spec

Only CBU owners can answer this. All the CKD owners here are still enjoying 3 years or 60,000 km free service whichever comes first.

Did you get the SC to re-caliberate the trip computer? Otherwise your odometer, speed and fuel consumption figures will be out. The car calculates distance by counting rotations of the wheel multiply by the circumference.

Can the HS wind down the window through the remote?

not sure. how to do that?
if not mistaken, some car can do that. never try before.

For my current car, golf, hold the unlock button and all four windows will wind down. It's useful feature for hot place like Malaysia. The hot air can get out of the car while you walking to the car

Btw I'm collecting the HS probably this Friday

But being in city...dusty n polluted.
I wouldn't recommend that lol
