Got my HS Sedan Meteor Grey last friday. Really happy and no regrets.



In my opinion, making decision on a car based on Tires and Rims are not the right way to go for. Aim for the specs instead. I am a HS user. But honestly, its not noisy at all. Its acceptable noise and its still quiet in the car. Compared to my Waja before this. So its a huge difference for me. use the tires until botak, then change rims and tires or maintain the rims and change to better tires like michelin. This is what i think. Cause the HS model has alot of good features built in and worth the extra money you spend.


Agreed. It is a car for 4 person. Definitely not 5.

True, but have to consider the financial capability of the buyer also. I also think the long list of features for the HS is very attractive but in the end I decided to go for the GL. My reason is that basically it's the same car with the the same engine and body. The airbags and electronic safety features are the same but with the HS you have more gadgets, not all of which are important. I consider Smart City Brake and Blindspot Monitoring to be very desirable but I'm not prepared to pay RM15K for them.

However if the additional cost is not a limiting factor I would say go for the HS. It is worth it.

Hi Guys,

I am considering of buying a Sedan M3 GL. (Not HS due to limited budget)

Want to ask if this:

1. Practical as family car? Most probably won't be fetching people except wife.
2. Can the boots fit in a regular baby stroller? Do not have a baby yet but we have planned for future.
3. I prefer white color but does white harder to maintain?
4. Maintenance cost? I know it comes with 3 years free warranty/service. But how about cost after that?
5. Safety wise. I consider its fully packed with safety features that's why I am leaning on Mazda..

1. 4 person is fine...5 pax then abit squeeze
2. no problem at all
3. recommend white to do coating for better preservation of white
4. no idea ..
5. sui sui safety features

can you show some pictures? Mine is HS grey also

im not able to capture using handphone.... is the boss showed me the defect when sent for coating...after done coating the defects become very less obvious or minor

u may want to observe under bright condition ...

Agreed. Based on financial its fine but dont make decision based on tires and rims. Just does not make sense.

1. yes but max 4 people not 5 unless all small sized.
2. definitely. its huge.
3. white in general is hard to maintain. even using some coating can help but surely need lots of maintenance like regular washing
4. not sure after warranty costing but i heard its quite alright.
5. if get HS then safety is great but GL safety is good enough for basic. 6 airbags is really useful.

congratulations ..enjoy ur ride...

i agreed what u said...it's not noisy when up to 100km/hr.....

thanks bro. So far checked all look good. And i already used sierra glow on the car with blue flame. So now everything is shiny and awesome. Did you report the impurities immediately during collection? Else im not sure how they can help. What kind of impurities you talking about?

Sure. Ill post it right after this post.

RM1855.55 including GST. Price for Mazda 3 members.

1. yes but max 4 people not 5 unless all small sized.

>> Is it because of the tight legroom for the rear seat? C segment width of 1795mm should be more than enough shoulder from for 3 people at the back. Even Honda city can fit 3 people at the back quite comfortably.

Changing my City for M3 GL soon too

May I know what it include in the coating with the price?
Body + front, rear & side windscreen + rim + headlamp??

Plan to do coating after get the car.

It's because the centre console protrude into the back space so limit the legroom for the centre passenger. For short distance ok.

So shiny

I can comb my hair with your car's reflection

Yeah quite expensive but so far cheapest among the rest. Compared with Ceramic Pro also.

well short distance its ok for 3 people at the back. but long distance its quite uncomfortable. tried it over the weekend. My Waja had better space at the back. Spoke to few friends having Mazda. It has always been like this. Even last generation Mazda 6, legroom for the back is small.

Everything on the outside. Windows and Windscreen and headlamp. Rim they clean it really well. but surely rim easily gets black due to breaks.

possible but it also depends on front seat on how back has it been pushed.

hehehehehehe. Cause of the Coating bro.. before that it was not that shiny...

very nice. I guess I am just 1 of few didn't put any coatings yet. maybe will put a protection film on the headlamp only.

Why you want to off the radio before you off the car?

Kilat kilat.....look like black color from your photo
Sierra glow always like to say kilat kilat....kakakakak....
