Thanks for all the feedback. I'm thinking to upgrade my city VTEC 07 to a bigger & more powerful car. I like driving wife crz n frz jetta. Is really fun to drive n powerful pickup. Tested base accord. Not tat fun & power so so only. Jetta a bit worry of the quality n after sales service. Yet to test m3. But I think is best car in terms of value. Most important is fun to drive/powerful/efficient.. Space is not that important as I usually drive alone...

Just got my M3 hatch with the leather seats on Thursday :



I sent it for tinting on Friday and this is what the tint shop did to it :



F-ckers poured thinner on the back window panel and left it there for 2 hours until it dissolved the plastic. Car has to go back to Mazda for repairs next week. Mind you this shitty workmanship was done by the authorized installer for an extremely well known tint brand.

Anyone here had ordered rear boot tray for Sedan type? Don't u think that the picture shown is not fit coz the protruding part is actually the left side instead of right side as shown in the picture..

What the heck is that. At first i still tot is stitching. What part is that? Get some far view so we all can see clearly where the problem occur. Damn that tint shop, did you F them? Or at least repair/replace cost should count on them. Somemore still don't know can be repair onot. New car become like this, i understand you pain bro!

Look bad... Did they offered to settle it for you?

It's the rear door of the hatchback, under the rear glass window :



Mazda quoted me RM650+ to fix. That shop denied it at first despite the car being only less than 22 hours old (inspected and collected 4.30pm, they f-cked it up at 10am next day). I had to deal with their boss directly cause the main worker that did the job didn't even want to show his face -- claimed he had something to do and the other one just kept quiet.

His words were :

"I don't claim responsibility for this but I will pay for your repairs" -- really pissed me off even more. He only admitted it was the thinner they used after 2 hours and said he would take responsibility for it.

The best part about all of this is they didn't even know what a 'solvent' was or how thinner reacts with plastic. I asked if they used thinner because the whole car smelled like it and they denied it saying they only used 'spirit water'. My reaction was like omfg are you all mentally retarded...

They've been spraying thinner on every car and even on my front passenger and driver seats, the Mazda workshop guys noticed there were spray marks on the doors (which thankfully could be wiped away with water). The rear door in the picture wasn't so lucky as they left it on and it etched about 1-2mm deep into the plastic.

My mistake was not using my usual tint shop (I normally go with v-kool elite for all my cars) and assuming this other shop knew what they were doing.

This is a sickening thing to happen to the owner of a 1 day old car. The authorized shops charge high prices but quality and service sometimes do not match their prices. But we are threatened with voiding warranty if we do not use the authorized shops. Not good.

Anyway it's good that the owner of the shop will pay for repairs. Let's hope the car can be restored to the original condition.

My only advice is to maintain ur booking and wait it out. This is one color which has customers waiting for at least 3 months minimum.

Even our waiting lists is now around 3+ months long for meteor grey.

Where did you book?

Selayang.. SA told me ETA mid Aug.. Dunno can trust or not..

I'm sorry I can't comment on behalf of them. Is it along Jln Kuching dealer or Gombak Dealer ?

If you've booked and waited for 3 months already, perhaps ask your dealer which queue number you are at so that can give a better idea.

i waited almost 4 months ...

this is what i did,

1) day day complained to HQ Bermaz (login case number)
2) written letter to Bermaz CEO Yeo to complain the poor production planning problem.

Factory totally do not assembled according to customer demand... alot white color out there but nobody want..

so u must escalate yr issue up to the top top management ...

Oh no 4 months?? Have u gotten your car now?

report, 9.2L/100 km for hill road FC.

Sorry to hear that, hopefully after replacing it... You won't feel that pain and pissed... All the best bro ~~ relax and enjoy your Sunday

Very true. White is not the most popular colour but I don't understand why they keep producing this. Bermaz has online ordering system from dealers so there is no excuse not knowing what colours are in demand. The factory seems to go off on a frolic of its own.

jz got it last week

agreed...that's y i encourage all those hs grey buyer complaint to HQ Bermaz n do writte complaint letter to CEO Yeo...else those top guy won't know how poor their factory planning... dealer also not dare to complaint due to afraid of HQ do not allocate car to them...

Let us see your car!

If you go to the original webpage at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cEy4teVKeLc and read the comments the product is available in Malaysia.

Anyone here gt prob to connect the MZD to wifi-hotspot over the handset? I tried multiple times but keep on showing retry. However, other devices can just connect to wifi-hotspot smoothly.
