Bro I already fitted mine with hid, but not Osram, Mazda 3 don't need canbus hid! Don't get cheated, just a marketing strategy, don't fall to their trap, posting osram hid h11 at rm388 is simply ridiculous cheap, way not possible, just to attract u to approach them first.

Normal h11 hid will do

10L is on the high side but not unusual. Take it for one tank of highway cruising, if you're still getting 10, then something is likely wrong.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the manual might say not to change oil at 1000km?
Either way, my oil wasn't changed at 1000km - only changed at 10000km.

Some quarters say not to change oil so early because at the factory, they put some additives into the engine oil to help with the break-in.
By flushing the engine oil at 1000km, you flush out the additives too.
But this story is as debatable as the whole concept of breaking in.
Personally, I'd go back to the manual to see what the manufacturer recommends.

Anyone know about this?

I'm driving the GL

Can get something like this

But need to check whether have something similar locally.

ic, TQ so much for the reply CBU (japan) and CKD version, very much difference?

Bro yr headlamp foggy too? How they solve?

Hi all,

I am getting my car next week after one year of research...

What do I need to check when I collecting the car ?
Thanks in advance

Any suggestion if I should go for full glass coating or get glossy transparent wrap?

You mentioned 500km.. is that from full tank until refuel lights turn on?
Im also on pure city driving, 20km per day with medium to high traffic. Avg speed is 21km/h... im getting 9.5 - 10.8l/100km avg FC.

Thank you for your reply! 

Yes all those items listed are quite fancy but I can live without fancy such as cruise control, auto windshield wiper, powerseat, paddle shifters etc.

What really caught my eye and make me consider the HS is the safety features such as Smart City Brake System (SCBS), Rear Vehicle Monitoring System (RVM), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). These are quite useful features,. especially the SCBS. Has anyone tried SCBS and how well it works? 

Crawled through the forum and google can't get much info on the SkyTint film that Mazda is offering for RM1900,  any members here installed Skytint for their Mazda? How is it?

Very hard to get a test drive in Johor bahru, the branch at permas jaya (Azam Motors) only got 1 test car and the other branch Rias Auto don't even have a test car. 

Hahaha.. Think it this way.. rather than hitting the vehicle in front, might as well let ppl hit the rear and can still claim insurance.. hahaha.. 

Actually it is not that dangerous, as the activation speed is during 4 - 30 km/h. So for the car behind if you drive 30km/h and still stick to you too close, it's his fault for not keeping safe distance.

And I read from manual that it will bring the car to total stop for 2 seconds, then only release the brake. But in my case, it is not that way. The SCBS like helps you brake, but not to total stop. and once you accelerate, the car move as well. 

Does anyone know if mazda offers custom rims? just like overseas. the ones in black.

1) I wonder is it hard to move mazda 3 front number plate placement similar to mazda 6?    I feel the plate placement on mazda 3 spoil the design of the front 

2) What type of security did you guys buy for your car? Is steering and pedal lock effective at all or doesn't really make a difference. Hope can recommend some good security, I don't want to lose my car after few months of getting it 

Yeah from what I see on forum, Locktech seems to be very popular, I think pricing is around RM300-400

I wonder what makes a car hot or not for thieves, is it the accessories or depending on neighboring country like thailand? But Mazda 3 seems to be quite popular in thailand also..
I think mainly is because of HS 18inch big rims vs GL 16inch which adds weigh

Hope someone can answer the newbie to forum questions

1) Is there a difference between CKD version and CBU, besides 45k difference price tag... mine CBU btw (the earlier batch)
2) and whats that SCBS thing you guys talking about, never experienced it before wor...
3) Are you cars tinted? mine with 3M film but still veli veli hot leh, and AC also not very powerful to feel cold air when blasting, comparing with myvi advance...
4) Which petrol you guys prefer?? Ron95 i dislike shell the most haha always doesnt add up for given range
5) Does your cars have auto locking? like press brake then car doors locked... or need aftermarket :/
6) Anybody know mazda 3 speakers brand? The mid speakers quite shiok haha
7) Is it true(heard from a friend) skyactiv technology allows engine to have higher than other commercial cars like civic combustion ratio, hence we should not follow the every 10k free service by mazda and just service every 5k ourselves... change oil only maa rather spend that than repair engine after 100k milage

Incorrect. Our interval here is 10k or 1 year.

Our 3s are also tuned to run on RON91.

Ahh thanks kenny
Yeap entire car tinted, sunroof tint kao kao haha all glass have close to maximum visible light transmitted % allowed, but sadly still veli veli panas scared dashboard leather crack or decolourise after a couple of years..
damn.. wanted those features haha sounds so cooooool
Comparing with cars with same price range, i find it quite good lorh. But civic speakers best for me haha cause you driver faster, it gets louder
But would you say your AC is poewrful??dk my car only or memang not up to my expectation, like hot hot weather 1 hour in open car park, AC on full blast also take around 3-5 minutes before back passenger feels the cold air?

I just went my 1k service this morning at kepong service center and they told me that they just can check my headlamp fog problem on weekday only.

speechless...........

suddenly feel like Perodua service center is better

I believe the omission of auto lock is particular to Japanese-designed cars. correct me if wrong.
