U shud go n brush up ur knowledge first b4 making urself sound like a moron.

Hi would like to ask ... Mazda3 come with headlight wash?

Nope.

yes for the HS spec 

Bro, are you sure? How to activate? I am high spec owner, but don't know bout this fucntion pun.. 

I think it means just touch the start button with your remote to allow the ECU to recognize the remote then start with your finger normally.

Hey all!

Just got off phone from public bank for my car loan. I'm putting 18k d/p with loan period 6 years and got offered 2.77 interest rate. Is this good or should I go for other banks?

Thank you!!

2.77!!?? After a weeks the rate shoot up so high?!
I got the offer from Affin -2.65, lowest among all

Can we applying car loan directly to bank?. Normally SA will handle it right?

Basically, so far the wifi thingy is for you to search local in navigation. Mine somehow bug. The wifi no longer work and I can't search the places online anymore which I need to go bermaz to update to the latest software version(not sure Malaysia Bermaz has it). When i get my car, the sw version is 50.1.xxxxxx. The latest is 55.1.xxxxx.

Heard from my gf said the tv advertisement showing newest m3 2.0 skyactive MZD can connect to Facebook. So there must be some sw update or smth in order to do that.

Sales assistant told me the same thing when i got my car, can surf FB.
GPS got 1 show traffic option, i think its show where got jam so if connect wifi, you can see like google or waze which road is jam etc... if got show which road got speed cam then best hahaha, they sales fella told me DIY update via SD card found in your arm rest compartment

It will  be useful if we can mirror our smartphone to our MZD screen so we can run Waze or Google map on our phones and project onto the screen. There is a hardware solution which I know of but it is very expensive (abt RM2K). Hopefully in future somebody finds a software solution or a cost effective hardware solution.

Update MMS or navigation maps? If it's the latter, I've done it on mine. Just unplug the SD card from the car, plug it into my laptop and launch the Toolbox.
Be careful what you wish for. Our maps come with camera info.
About 1 junction away, it'll prompt you about the camera. Half a junction away another prompt. One last prompt just before you pass the junction.
Sometimes it spams you with a lot of information

"Red light and speed camera ahead."
"You are over the speed limit. Reduce your speed."
"Red light and speed camera ahead."
"You are over the speed limit. Reduce your speed."
"You are over the speed limit. Reduce your speed."
"Red light and speed camera."

Hey guys. I heard the tyres 215/45 R18 for Mazda 3 are difficult to find. And it is more expensive, since it is not common on Malaysia.
What do you guys think?

Wait. Can change 215 to 225?
I'm just a noob here. A bit of research over the net, seems like 215 and 225 the diameter is different.

Just got off the phone from a sales agent who is offering me the following package for Mazda 3

Rhine Pro XD5 Tinting - Worth RM2100 but browsing Lowyat I think it's RM1000
Glass Coating - Worth RM2200
Smart Tag
Full Tank

OR

RM2000 Rebate + Smart Tag + Full Tank

-

Does your sales agent have better offer?

I understand it is width bro. And the width will change the overall diameter. Google it.
Now, if someone can verify we can use 225/45 R18. I am definitely happy since we have more options.

Just booked my M3 HS in meteor gray colour. The SA from Mazda Sunway Mentari very friendly and accommodating to thick face git like me who keep asking for freebies haha.

Would highly recommend Seah who made the process for a first time car buyer very easy and smooth!

P.S: Lucky me they still got one grey in stock. Crossed fingers my loan faster approve, possibly get my car at the end of this month before CNY to vroom vroom in front of relatives haha!

Gents, just curios where can I obtain the paint to touch up on my car? Can it be done at SC? The scratch is about 2mm in length. Over time I am sure will get more scratches but well I still need to take good care of this car.

Anyway, got my car on 29th Jan, Meteor Grey HS. Previous car Vios J spec.

Really love the body kit; when car door opens the scuff plates light up. Interior top notch, feels really luxurious. Accelerator response a little laggy, but if you step on it you will find the car speeds with no difficulty. I expect this is due to the fuel efficiency of skyactiv engine.

NVH for my 18" tires are definitely noticeable; from a scale of 1-10, 10 being unbearable I would score it at 6-7. Might consider soundproofing if they can reduce by at least 40%. If any lesser I wouldn't bother as the reduction wouldn't be significant. I rather turn on my music louder.

I have kruk kruk sounds over certain bumps only. Doesn't bother me one bit. I have yet to hear the ngek ngek, dong, and tik tik sound

I used Raytech MX for my tint, gps/smart tag all pass. Not dark enough for my taste but does the job.

I had glass coating for my car. Meteor Grey seriously jialat, little bit dusty also can see. As new owner who has just received their bonus I impulsively went to coat my car; I suspect after 3 months driving I wouldn't bother about the dust anymore ahahah. Glass coating protects minor chips only, wash car just use water is good enough. During light to moderate rain you don't need to use wipers; the water beads just roll right off. Pretty cool effect. I paid RM2k for 5 years warranty, leather maintenance, disinfection, location in Puchong but while the coating is excellent they didn't clean up very well; some polishing/agent is lodged in the corner of my headlamps, some wax debris still stuck to car body, watermarks etc which all can be removed with 0 damage but I have to inspect properly la, if not have to drive back to ask them to remove/clean. I also notice 2 scratches on my tint which I am pretty sure wasn't there before. When I asked about it they say during interior service they don't use anything sharp etc so not possible to damage. I haven't parked my car in a bright place so maybe It was probably always there and I never noticed; I'd like to give them the benefit of doubt but my guts tell me they do one la. When I received my car I don't think I would have missed it.

I pumped full tank from 45km range left (petrol indicator lighted up) with RON95 amounting to RM70.10 (3rd Jan), drove for 160 +- km, gas gauge drop two bars only, however I doubt it is parallel. Petrol AVG is 9.1l/100km, I coast around 130km/h on average, with frequent acceleration and sometimes drive up to 16km/h if I went back home late and the road is clear.

Comparing the M3 and the Vios, I find that my Vios is more responsive during acceleration, but the M3 really handles curves like a skilled potter; my vios always feel like gonna buang anytime. NVH for M3 definitely is louder, sound system is only slightly better than my vios OEM which is a shame (still cannot play dubstep). Fuel efficiency wise, I have to say I am still not sure as I only had the car for less than 2 weeks. I got my car on 29th Jan full tank, and had to refuel in 5 days. I accelerated more than I should perhaps, but my Vios full tank could last me at least a week under the same driving conditions. Maybe due to physical attributes of the new M3? Anyway after second full tank I drove slightly milder and can see the difference. If it continues at the rate it's going right now, the M3 definitely saves more fuel than my 1.5cc Vios.

The Mazda Connect could be potentially very useful but somehow the features right now are limited and stunted. The Nav is a little mafan and I don't see myself using it much unless my phone date connection is iffy. I like that there are many people who are programming tweaks that are user friendly, but what I want most is to have waze and video playing function on it. Also, the no touchscreen during driving thing is so dumb; my passenger not people ah? Want to pause music also need to turn knob. (didn't want to mute because it's not the same thing!) Bluetooth function is limited and not very intuitive. Main function is to call and not tailored for other uses.

Installed brakelock; just press start button twice, step on brake and it will autolock. Upon killing the engine after driving, your car will unlock. For some reason, the autolock can only be enabled once within a short period: if I locked using brakelock, unlock my car manually, and press brake again it won't lock. Anybody care to explain?

iStop is annoying, I turn my aircon all the way to 18 to disable it so I don't have to manually do it. During idling, engine purrs very softly, but sometimes does have noticeable vibration but rarely. iStop does not resume engine operation gracefully. Jerky and loud.

Shift paddles very responsive with no delay. Signal stalks require a little more effort to push down compared to my Vios, which was very easy to flip up and down. The accelerate pedal goes down at an angle unlike my Vios that goes down parallel so for small footed girl like me I need to sit very in front, unless I want to tiptoe. My brakes also have to pijak very hard; my Vios tap will brake accordingly, but M3 I tap no difference. Possibly get cramps during traffic haha but KennyKB says I can get that tuned at the service centre.

Also, is it just me or are the headlamps super bright? I feel like I am blinding the car in front of me.

Rear seats are more than adequate. It looks small but is actually very roomy, but I am a very short girl. The boot size is also good, can fit 2 regular sized luggage comfortably. Rear vehicle monitoring system is very useful as the car's body blocks certain spots as I am the type that turn my head to look behind left or right before I makan to next lane. Almost bang a car once coz of blind spot during FIRST day of driving when I was 18.

Leather seats and steering wheel does not feel uncomfortable during hot day, maybe thanks to tinting as I was afraid it might feel too hot or sticky if I perspire. Aircond does it's job very splendidly in cooling the entire cabin; rear seat passengers can definitely feel the air cond.

Think this is all the input I can think of. Hope will enlighten potential M3 owners! Don't bombard me if I made/said some mistakes

I do have 1 stonechips that cause 1 bintik karat 

Can apply that on that hole?

It just around 1-2mm karat. I don't know how to dear with it. lol

Is just -2mm and lesser.  My color is 42B blue reflex mica, looks like blueish metallic color. Thanks for the link

Went into the showroom along federal yesterday. Salesman told me still got around 3 units of cbu left. Discount 12k.

The front sensors I've installed do not integrate with MZD. It has a separate LED indicator mounted on the dashboard.
