Hi. Anyone knows if there is any sort of discounts given by any dealers for Mazda 3 high spec?

Bumping this question up. I'm interested to know as well. Thanks.

I managed to accidentally activate the Smart City Brake!! This is a good news because it really works!

I was crossing the toll with Smart Tag at night, I believe my tinted front screen was the culprit because even during daytime there was a delay every time I passed through the toll gate. So this time the toll gate didn't react, I was pressing the brake lightly, but it still activated the Smart City Brake. It was like an emergency brake with ABS working, and then my engine went off (like what always happen in i-stop). I changed the gear to "Reverse" and the engine came back straight away. Wonderful experience, but I believe it hurts the brake pad a lot.

caution: please do not try this at home

Hi guys,

Am considering a Mazda 3 High Spec in blue.

In addition to what discounts offered, how are the service center quality? Is it as good as Toyota or as bad as Ford/Peugeot (assuming VW is going to be the worst).

Upgrade to 17" for more sporty look and performance.. Well that's what i feel

Generally can't comment on this until your own experience. However, please note that NOT all customers can be satisfied as you can see that some Toyota customers also complaining about their SC.

hi guys... my wife should get her aluminum silver high spec tomorrow afternoon. Going to penang next Wednesday.. is there any SC still open or not fully booked on Tuesday next week?

Wan to ask.. Normally how long before the sales agent will ask to settle the down payment prior to collext the car?

For mine it was at least 10 days for downpayment before getting the car

Guys,

Had my M3 HS Al metallic for a week now. Here are some of my views and thoughts to share.

1. Powerful engine and smooth transmission (that's why I chose it in the 1st place...very satisfied

2. For those who were asking earlier, mileage was 36 km when I took delivery of the car. Also, when you take delivery, check the tire pressure, coz they tend to inflate it up rather high. My left front was 310 !!

3. Tyre noise is a bit high.

4. Is there a way to sort of blank the display screen? At night, I feel like the interior of the car is a little too bright.

5. You have to press the brake pedal hard for the car to start when you press the start button. I had a few panic moments when the car wouldn't start (Handbrake was on, and shifter was in P, so no need to press the pedal so hard maa).

6. I drive with the i-stop switched off...don't need it. FC currently is 8.1 for Pg driving.

7. Inserting a CD is a bit awkward due to the shifter being in the way when in P, but not a big problem.

8. Owner's manual is thick and heavy...A few options are for "* Some models" but they don't specify which model (CBU? European? HS? MS?).

9. I have a habit of always checking the engine coolant temperature when I drive my other cars, but there's no such display on the M3. You get a blue led icon when you start the car in the morning. The engine revs at just over 1K for some seconds until the light goes out. I'd like to know the coolant temperature when I'm driving, seeing that M3 has a high compression ratio engine.

10. And finally, here in Pg, the car is a powerful magnet for motorcycles (especially those with all kinds of sharp and protruding attachments on the back

Cheers,

Congrats on your new ride. You mean there is no way to check coolant temp when you are driving? How can this be?

You can turn off your touchscreen at settings.
You can also dim your speedometer by rotating the the switch where you use to reset your km travelled.

is all CKD model is having a speedometer instead of RPM meter in the middle?

Only high spec sedan has RPM meter on the middle

Im too just get got my car. Yeah.... wait a minute, is a 1/64

SgBesi so far are entertaining Walk in customers but have to wait a bit.

If you're making an appointment, we will reserve a bay for you for your appointment time within 10minutes.

Kindly call 03-92218993 or 2993 for an appointment.

2015 Mazda3 vs. 2015 Volkswagen Golf vs. 2016 Hyundai Elantra, guess which car win???

New elantra doesn't look too appealing. Or maybe it is due to its color. Mazda 3 wins all the way...

Thanks...

I haven't seen any such info on the display cluster yet. But then I'm still feeling my way round the instruments. The owner's manual says if the engine coolant temp is too high, you'll get a warning message on the display, but nothing about the instantaneous coolant temp.

Perhaps an expert can help us here.

Thanks for the info. You learn something new everyday. I'll try them out.
