This is how the aircond knob will look like in the CKD HS Mazda3.



3. Yes, Lane Departure Warning is display here. HUD Useful or not depends on driver. Some may say not useful since the speedometer also display the speed too. I personally just love it so much whenever it pops-up when you ignite the engine. hahaha~
4. Around +- RM 90 if you ALMOST FULLY drained your fuel tank..
5. Dont worry on the knock knock sound.. It is not a big issue. It happen when only you go over bump or go thru very bumpy road..
6. Hahaha.. I have the same concern before this. I upgraded from Persona, and Persona have much better noise insulation when travelling at 110km/h.. Speed < 90 you'll find it is normal. But then, it doesnt stop me being proud of owning this noisy babe.. hahaha~ she is telling you to slow down la~ dont drive so fast...

Bro, I daily commute from Puchong Perdana to TTDI. 23km in 1 hr with heavy traffic. Not sure where are you from, but can say I'm crawling slowy in the traffic. Calculated FC from fuelly was showed at my siggy. Vehicle FC info shows 8.1L/ 100km, ron95.

Has not try on long distance journey yet. Need to wait for other member's feedback lo..

Rusted suspension? Is it the noise sounds like "ngek ngek"? If it is, try request to replace lower arm bush. If is "kruk kruk" noise, then replace bump stopper. Btw, I'm waiting for the parts arrival for bump stopper.

I haven't meet with "tik" sound on windscreen, but what I encounter is the noise like stone hits my windscreen, very loud!
Do you able to source where it comes from? Under what circumstances it occur? Try apply some pressure / force to push on your MZD, the panel beside the screen.



About this "DONG" sound, apparently I am in the same case with you. After car wash, it happens too (sometime only). I make this as habit. Before you move your car, press on Brake, put the gear into "N", release handbrake, let the car roll itself. See what other inputs can get from the members here...

Bro, all pictures taken with hand phone. Untouched.

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

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..

Yes bro, headlight follows your steering angle.

High beam control is another feature.

Any Mazda authorized dealer is fine, but try survey a few branch la, might get different offer due to SA. Try PM a few seller in lowyat here. Then go walk in randomly and ask, see which offers you the best.

Anyway, the paint protection is very depends on you yourself. If you have the budget allocated for it, then go ahead. You will feel thankful when comes to car wash and it will give your car all time glossiness.

I also want to do coating, but there are too many choices. End up after 4 months still not do yet. Remember, coating doesn't protect you from stone chips, even watermarks. What the ads said no watermarks, scratch resistance is when you do routine car wash properly. Since i got my car, only twice i send to car saloon to wash, due to laziness. Then now I wash myself every weekend. Hahaha..

Coating price may vary from 800 to 2.5k, even up to 3 to 5k. If you really keen on coating, pls do go read up and survey the efficiency of the products. They can be maintenance free or some of them need to recoat (touch up) every 6 month or 1 year.. Do read up more before you decide. Automotive garages there has alot thread. You may also go read up the car detailing thread for your knowledge on how to properly maintain the vehicle's exterior.

*pls ignore any typo and my grammar, typing on phone is hard and sleepy now.. LOL~

Wow bro! Picture pls.. Blue reflex mica is my first choice, unfortunately it need long waiting period therefore i go for Aluminum Metallic.

86km is acceptable, i got mine at 82km. They need to send your car for inspection so i personally thinks within 100 km is ok.

And congrates on getting your baby! Do head to fb Skyactiv Mazda3 group for more info.

I-Stop unable to permanently disable, just make it a habit when you starts your car, off it manually.

I think most of us are using this.
