go check for used if u dont mind. me myself almost bought used cbu (soul red), but that time already booked ckd i found the ad in carlist

but still my car

Haha.. dude ckd got reverse camera lah. That 1 very basic nowadays 2 have in a new car. But again, if money no issue for u, go ahead lah.

Dont want 2 mess with d warranties lah. Then how lah 2 chase peps frm leaning on my M3. Damn. Haha 😅

True that. Guess the car is so damn good that ppl picks on those 'tick2', 'kluk2' sounds. As long as the sounds wont make d car unsafe, they (the sounds) can be forgiven & ignored. I forgive them 😁

? Has Bermaz stopped selling CBU unit?

So no more soul red?

Yes, since the CKD came out. No more soul red unless you want to respray your new car.

You can re-spray it to soul red thou ..
BY Mazda or outside also can.

BTW, my car will be send to SC for few days as for check up on my car problem.
Which all of us don't know what happened.

What should I need to check or record or anything before I send my car go ?

Walk the supervisor around your car and tell him to note down any dents or scratches on your car. If there are none he should record there are none.

finally after contemplating with other brands ... ive decided to get myself a Mazda 3 Sedan highest spec ... bought with Bermaz ...

already paid downpayment now waiting for loan approval ... meanwhile im not sure about which colour to take ...
ive already shortlisted to 2 colour , Aluminium Metallic or Meteor Grey ...
Meteor Grey looks okay, but very easy to see dust , Aluminium abit Proton Saga colour, "tak tahan tengok" ... guys give some input please ... if u got above mentioned colour, please show off your car photo ~

I haven't seen any Proton Saga in aluminium metallic. In photos it may look like the same silver but it's actually a darker metallic colour. Photos tend to over compensate for the dark hue unless you know how to use the camera in manual mode. When I'm free I'll try with my DSLR but better to look in the flesh.

Thanks bro .... Yeah that's y I need a non retouched photo ... Those in Mazda website all cannot believe one ...

So u mean ur driving an Alu metallic one ? How was the colour ?
Does the colour of the car really affects the heat inside ?

The showroom only for meteor grey ... I'm waiting for next week for the Alu metallic to come ... But it would be good to hear some idea from you guys first

Bro, all pictures taken with hand phone. Untouched.

Only the last shot (head light in the dark) taken with digicam, and some editing.

bro. ..... thank you so much with your photos ... wow ur car look really nice ... did u do any polishing etc before this ?

I think this colour looks good depends on what is it under ... if it under shelter it reflects slightly dark aluminium .. if under bright sky it becomes "Proton Sage" silver

Nope bro. Car wash on own only lo. Actually can see swirl marks and scratches when really close to car.. That's one of the reason I choose this color, can hide those scars easily. Hahaha..

The color wont become as proton saga silver la bro. My prevoius ride is Persona silver, so I can say it is definitely different. This is more on darker silver, while proton's is brigther.

From my point of view, Alluminium looks elegant, while Meteor Grey is alot more sporty. Spot the Mazda on the road, see which you like the most lo..

- Bloody double post -

Hahaha..

The third pic is the best shot. To me that would be the best angle to express the outstanding look of the kodo design.

yes its my fav shot too ... very nice ...

The colour of the Al metallic M3 taken by Tooney looks accurate. In the sun the colour looks lighter than in the shade but it never becomes like Proton Saga silver even under bright sun.

I fully recommnend the Al metallic. Any scratches, swirls or watermarks are very hard to see. It doesn't look dirty even when there is a layer of dust on the surface. The meteor grey is a much darker grey so I expect scratches and dust will be more visible.
