My fingers can't be that slow. Taking the band from 100 km/h to 180 km/h is too broad. The climb from 100 to 140 is very decent and this is the band most drivers need for overtaking.

The climb from 100 to 140 is very decent and this is the band most drivers need for overtaking. Maybe your fingers are too quick, and that was the reason you have got 8.5s. :-) Or the stopwatch on my mobile is broken. Anyway, it is true that acceleration from 100 km/h to 140 km/h of the Mazda 3 which is the usable range for overtaking is decent. Though an observation on the acceleration from 140 km/h to 180 km/h is not as effortless as I notice, and 180 km/h to 200km/h is certainly a struggling affair. A bit of a surprise for a 2.0-litre model. Perhaps the car is not tuned for performance at the higher speed range but more to the lower spectrum which is usable, and also for fuel economy. Also, I notice in the video at 0.56s when the speed is at 200km/h, the RPM is at 6500. When the video is at 1.00, the speed is 197km/h @ 4500 RPM, which means that the gear has upshifted. If the Mazda 3's transmission is 6-gear, then I presume the acceleration from 140km/h to 200km/h is entirely on 5th gear since the last gear upshifting 4th to 5th gear in the video happens at around 140km/h. That raises the question on the gear holding from 140km/h to 200km/h which is considerably long before it upshifts to a higher gear at 200km/h.

The climb from 100 to 140 is very decent and this is the band most drivers need for overtaking. From the video M3 from 100-180km/h about 24seconds. consider slow for a 165hp c segments car. May be Mazda 3 really design for fuel saving. Example Stock Cr-z with only 135hp can go from 100-180km/h in 19 seconds without using S+ overboost. With S+ even faster.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12VgnlXNjqo

Will upload pictures after I installed the duck tail spoiler and solar tint tomorrow Need some advice from all the sifus here.. I've been playing with the USB and Bluetooth with my iPhone, anyone of you knows how to makes the default sound back to iPhone? Bluetooth can be done as I can choose the default audio whether via iPhone or Mazda but I have no way to switch the default audio to iPhone while I'm using the USB cable. This really irritates me coz when my phone has Whatsapp, LINE or other messengers incoming messages, my phone doesn't have sound anymore, it just vibrates only... And the most annoys part is that while I charged my phone while using Waze, my Waze can't talk anymore.. Your advice is much appreciated

Having a kruk sound over speed bump at certain speed or angle. Not every time got sound. My previous ride is Mitsubishi Lancer GT. Have a comparison between these 2 rides I am not sure the handling/ road feel is that filtered by EPS steering of Mazda 3? because Mitubishi lancer GT use old type Hydraulic power steering, which give a direct road feel and handling. Mazda 3 Pros: New Skyactiv Technology less fuel consumption more safety feature with VSC 6 airbag....etc rigid a solid ride quality but lesser compared to lancer GT responsive 6 speed auto transmission dashboard design with soft touch material Cons: rear passenger space no nappa leather seat in GL spec, it is not comfortable for fabric seat 16 inch with normal grade tyre, less handling and road feel the steering diameter is not thick as lancer GT and honda civic. feel like driving a vios Mitsubishi lancer Pros: CBU, rigid and solid ride quality nappa leather 18 inch high performance tyre with more handling and road feel, can feel every single stone/hole on the road better handling with wider tyre Cons: high fuel consumption CVT gear with CVT feel less safety features, no VSC, 2 air bag only

However, just want to ask does anyone also experience the feeling of the suspension feels loose and not tight when going over uneven roads and bumps? Sort of like rattling.

My CKD also has the kruk kruk sound but I can live with it coz my previous Vios has more sound than this LOL For the suspension I don't feel that it's rattle.. Maybe because of my Vios again so this car feels good to me

New Member Junior Member 16 posts Joined: Jun 2008	Collected my HS CKD Sedan (White) on Tuesday via MB Motorsport Selayang. Booked on 25.5.2015, so about one month wait. Not sure if others have the same minor issue, but I realised the front bumper (passenger side) is a bit misaligned. And there's also the anticipated 'kruk kruk' suspension noise, but I think it's not actually bad or annoying as it only happen when I drive over speedbumps / potholes at speed. The factory assembling the car sure loves playing with grease. My car's door hinges was smothered in grease, will get it properly detailed soon. The 18" Toyo tyres is a bit noisy to my liking, as my previous car rides on Michelin PilotSport3. Better sound insulation might lessen the road / tyre noise intruding the cabin. Still fiddling with some of the gadgets / features. The Lane Departure and RVM is a great plus - since the B-Pillar on the driver side do intrude side view. Haven't tested the fuel consumption. Onboard Tripcomputer says its 11.2L/100KM average, but that haven't been reset since delivery. Filled it up to full and travelled close to 70KM and still the fuel indicator haven't dropped. Is this normal? Will update on how much mileage a full tank can cover go once I deplete this fill up. Due to my average height, I find no complaints with the rear seats. Comfortable yes, but admittedly not as roomy as fellow segment contenders (Civic, Corolla, 408). The GPS was a bit of a hassle to figure out (or I am just not getting it as I'm used to PapaGo) since it requires users to input Country, State, Street and specific address everytime it is used. Maybe there's a shortcut I haven't discovered yet. Overall, a great car. Highway cruise is a breeze, a lot of standard amenities compared to others in its class (with the exception of the Elantra and Cerato, laden with gizmos).

That's why it is making so much noise(stiff = loud), but cornering .

Sounds like you are likely driving in heavy traffic all the time. Mine is 6.5 L / 100km on 70% highway driving. Frankly, quite impressed as my previous 1.5 L (smaller engine = usually better FC) vios couldn't manage that on the same route, best I could ever get was 7.0 L / 100km. Was expecting the 2.0L M3 to consume more petrol given it is a larger engine so am pleasantly surprised. Sending for first 1k service tmr so am hoping it will improve more given it has now properly burned in.

Actually which one is better and how to compare among them? Anyone gt experience on it? can share? Depending on which part of the bodykit, but generally: PP is best for bumpers, lips and skirts. PU is almost like PP but more rubbery. The finishing usually not as good, cheaper than PP. ABS is best for big spoilers, but if it's the small Mazda3 spoiler then PP. FIBER for custom design, fragile but easy to repair. Avoid unless u want custom design.

Retaining any speed above 50km/h is one of the best according to my own trial n error. I also get pretty bad fc in taiping city. 9.0-9.5 l/100km. A lot of traffic lights.... As for highway back to KL... I can average for 5.0-5.5 l/100km Very impressive fc I would say..

Below that is ok or good depending on how far below..

For those of us who bought car early will not get anything. Is the free leather seat direct from factory? Or they do it outside, rewrap the fabric to leather? Usually if done outside the workmanship quite bad unless they bring it to the pros.

I bought mine during April and no news for me on free leather seat..Haiz.. The HB doesnt come with Leather, the SA did offer the leather seat which will set me back 3k, but then I reject it when I found out that the leather is not direct from the factory, which mean it is not the same thing you see in a High Sedan, its OEM from outsider, so-called the mazda appointed leather seat supplier, which I believe is the same to the free leather for the CBU version. they claim that the OEM leather is Nappa which is better than the HS but I havent actually seen 1 so Im doubt about it. Another thing is that the leather is actually warp over your fabric seat, unlike the HS leather seat. will it affect the air bag fuctionality on the seat? Im not sure.

Around RM1.8k can get you full 3M Crystalline.

For back you can go as low as 40% VLT while still being legal(JPJ 30% VLT). JPJ Legal tint(if your OEM window is totally clear): Front 70 Front Side 50 Back Side 30 Back 30

New Member Junior Member 44 posts Joined: Jul 2012	I managed to accidentally activate the Smart City Brake!! This is a good news because it really works! I was crossing the toll with Smart Tag at night, I believe my tinted front screen was the culprit because even during daytime there was a delay every time I passed through the toll gate. So this time the toll gate didn't react, I was pressing the brake lightly, but it still activated the Smart City Brake. It was like an emergency brake with ABS working, and then my engine went off (like what always happen in i-stop). I changed the gear to "Reverse" and the engine came back straight away. Wonderful experience, but I believe it hurts the brake pad a lot. caution: please do not try this at home This post has been edited by sap123: Jul 6 2015, 11:08 AM

New Member Newbie 0 posts Joined: May 2011 From: Penang Island	Guys, Had my M3 HS Al metallic for a week now. Here are some of my views and thoughts to share. 1. Powerful engine and smooth transmission (that's why I chose it in the 1st place...very satisfied 2. For those who were asking earlier, mileage was 36 km when I took delivery of the car. Also, when you take delivery, check the tire pressure, coz they tend to inflate it up rather high. My left front was 310 !! 3. Tyre noise is a bit high. 4. Is there a way to sort of blank the display screen? At night, I feel like the interior of the car is a little too bright. 5. You have to press the brake pedal hard for the car to start when you press the start button. I had a few panic moments when the car wouldn't start (Handbrake was on, and shifter was in P, so no need to press the pedal so hard maa). 6. I drive with the i-stop switched off...don't need it. FC currently is 8.1 for Pg driving. 7. Inserting a CD is a bit awkward due to the shifter being in the way when in P, but not a big problem. 8. Owner's manual is thick and heavy...A few options are for "* Some models" but they don't specify which model (CBU? European? HS? MS?). 9. I have a habit of always checking the engine coolant temperature when I drive my other cars, but there's no such display on the M3. You get a blue led icon when you start the car in the morning. The engine revs at just over 1K for some seconds until the light goes out. I'd like to know the coolant temperature when I'm driving, seeing that M3 has a high compression ratio engine. 10. And finally, here in Pg, the car is a powerful magnet for motorcycles (especially those with all kinds of sharp and protruding attachments on the back Cheers,

I hope there is a way to monitor the coolant temp. If you notice the temp going higher you can do something like turning off the air-con or look for a good place to stop. Getting an alarm is already too late.

They answer will check for it. After the services is done. I ask the service advisor whether the problems has been ractify. He just simply bluff it already put some greese. If the problems still appear, you may file a complain again. I am pretty sure the SC dun even wan to entertain this problems. Because while i am waiting, a Mazda 6 owner also complaining this issue. However, the SC just answer need to order the part and need to wait. Come on, this is a common problems with faulty parts or suspension design. It should not come with this kind of sound in a brand new mazda. Even my old ride with 8 years old Mitsubishi, with good condition lower arm, there is no any sound when goin through speed bump.

It's easier to judge the distance looking forward than backward.

If you notice the temp going higher you can do something like turning off the air-con or look for a good place to stop. Getting an alarm is already too late. That is exactly what I am concerned about.

And a lot of buyers have been enticed by high discounts by SA with empty promises. SA will usually deliver cars to buyers with lowest discount. However, if you're in this category, do complain right to the top of Bermaz, as we honest SA are also feeling the pinch of this waiting period.

I realized that whenever I drive in broad daylight, everytime I switch to Neutral and pull the handbrake, the LED DRL switches off as well. Does this happen to other high spec sedan? And anyway to keep the DRL switched on? (2) Whenever I connect my Android phone via Bluetooth, only the call and music functions are linked. Sounds from apps like Waze, for example, would not be played on the stereo. Any way to have a complete sync, or is this the headunit's limitations? Thanks

Ckd only 4 months in market already got discount? Promo or add on maybe la.

You are very lucky the car isn't registered to you yet or you have to sell it as a second hand car. No joke! As jim.tan said your order can be cancelled with full refund so no need to go through all the hassle of transfer. Unless you want back your refund on the spot from the new purchaser but there is really nothing to worry about it. Anyway, hope one of the bros here can benefit.

It says so in the owner's manual.

Casual Junior Member 473 posts Joined: Apr 2015	This is my impression of my Mazda 3 GL spec after 3 days. Gear change is very smooth, gas pedal is designed for economy driving, have to press harder to get the 'oomph'. I'm getting 7.5 l/100km for mixed driving including some spirited driving. This is good FC. Cabin is quiet on reasonable roads. No wind noise at 120 km/h. On rough roads road noise intrudes significantly. No odd noises from dashboard or other body parts. No keok-keok sound when going over bumps so far. Sound quality from FM radio is acceptable but not great. Music from USB and bluetooth sounds better. The average listener should have no complaint but I'm particular on audio so I may upgrade the speakers in future. No confirmation sound when locking/unlocking car and no brake autolock. These should be able to install aftermarket. Overall very satisfied with this car but there's still the nagging feeling I should have gone for high spec. Too late now!

After uncheck the media audio, will the music in the phone library still be played via MZD? Does anyone know how to get back the sounds in phone if connected via usb cable?

Choking on my aspirations Senior Member 1,958 posts Joined: Mar 2006	QUOTE(kluseng @ Jul 13 2015, 09:50 PM) This is my impression of my Mazda 3 GL spec after 3 days. Gear change is very smooth, gas pedal is designed for economy driving, have to press harder to get the 'oomph'. I'm getting 7.5 l/100km for mixed driving including some spirited driving. This is good FC. Cabin is quiet on reasonable roads. No wind noise at 120 km/h. On rough roads road noise intrudes significantly. No odd noises from dashboard or other body parts. No keok-keok sound when going over bumps so far. Sound quality from FM radio is acceptable but not great. Music from USB and bluetooth sounds better. The average listener should have no complaint but I'm particular on audio so I may upgrade the speakers in future. No confirmation sound when locking/unlocking car and no brake autolock. These should be able to install aftermarket. Overall very satisfied with this car but there's still the nagging feeling I should have gone for high spec. Too late now! congratz, 7.5l/100km is great FC, for my 15 months old car, only manage to get 8-9l/100km with 50-50 urban & outstation driving. Suprise yrs doesnt have wind noise, most of us above 100kmh do experience loud wind noise QUOTE(GrumpyCat @ Jul 14 2015, 11:14 AM) Anybody knows any links to mazda 3 skyactiv accessories, body kits.

If this is true, then must be they done something to reduce the cabin noise for CKD. What the hell. If not mistaken, there is one setting call ALC in your sound setting there, I believe that is the setting to control your audio volume based on the car speed.

I go for GL because i prefer a comfortable & quiet ride with reasonable power and handling.So GL is the best choice if below 120k. High spec with low profile tyres definitely more noisy & less comfort. Yes long list of goodies but not necessary for me.

The audio volume does increase with speed. This validates my impression that the cabin is still quiet even when going at highway speed, otherwise I won't notice the audio volume getting louder.

I'll use the RM15K saved from the hi spec to put in some nice mods like better audio system, brake auto lock and HID lamps. Any hi spec owners can comment if it is worth paying for the navigation? I remember one bro said SC charge RM1200 to add in to GL. Btw, I got leather seats for my GL due to Raya promo. This post has been edited by kluseng: Jul 14 2015, 07:34 PM

If not mistaken, there is one setting call ALC in your sound setting there, I believe that is the setting to control your audio volume based on the car speed. I have actually run an android app Noise Meter in all three cars (Civic, Altis, Mazda 3) for city driving and highway drive(80km/h) In fact, the differences in the average noise level the we all mentioned about is so close to one another that is nearly not noticeable by our ears. I guess its just the impression or image that we have. I suggest you test drive and run the noise meter and see for yourself to justify....

Well at least that what it written by SC Thanks for sharing, for a moment i thought it was a toy or mashmallow. It's some sort of off-the-shelf solution and not produced by Mazda. Glad they found a permanent fix with this I believe. U tried pressing the material? Will it melt in our hot weather or hardened up after a few years from soaking car wash foam and rain water? From the pics, it could have shortened the suspension and affect performance, do u feel any difference? This post has been edited by Rick Federer: Jul 15 2015, 03:52 PM

QUOTE(benign10 @ Jul 15 2015, 11:56 PM) The tires pressure is 240 kpa for front and 230 kpa for rear rite according to owner manual..? The tyre pressure is given at the driver door side when you open the door. There is a range of recommended pressure according to no. of passengers.

I guess its just the impression or image that we have. I suggest you test drive and run the noise meter and see for yourself to justify.... The problem is I dun have all 3 cars. Actually another thing I suspect the Mazda 3 cabin noise is noisier because of the tyres, road noise, will see how when the time come to change tyres. I test drive on Civic, it slightly quiet probably due to the tyres is more comfort. Noise meter just a measurement, but our ear is the accurate 'tool' to judge, because sometimes noise really depend on individual, I asked few friends, different result.

May be exhaust pipe or body part resonance at a certain speed. I can't imagine the engine making sound like that.

It's a grey area and manufacturers like to keep quiet instead of explaining how installing accessories will affect warranty. Logically installing something into the electrical system like audio system or alarm should not affect warranty of non-related parts like engine and transmission. But if your wipers malfunction can they blame it on your aftermarket alarm? It's possible but arguable. If you don't want to have any argument about warranty don't install anything aftermarket but you may be missing out on better security/conveniences/audio for your car.

If we just stick to the authorized shops the choice is very limited and the price is very high. I was quoted RM580 by GS Accessories for brake autolock and for the car lock/unlock sound they can't do anything about it (My GL spec only flash light when locking/unlocking). But I can install a basic alarm with brake autolock and arm/disarm sound for only RM200. This post has been edited by kluseng: Jul 19 2015, 08:49 AM

Everything quoted by GS at least double the market rate, because of the name of "authorized shop", which is crazy. Anyway I done my auto-breaklock somewhere else with less than RM300. Plan to install auto folding mirror as well.

I don't think it's good for the engine and aircon to start/stop so frequently. For traffic lights I let it run but usually only stop for 10 sec or less. I don't think i-stop is very useful in our weather due to need for constant air-con. How much fuel can be saved for a few secs of engine off? Sometimes during parking i-stop also operate. Very annoying.

I am fine with the i-stop function, this is the special of Mazda 3 Skyactiv. Whether it good or not good to the engine, not me to judge because I am not the technician or designer of this Skyactiv engine, below link is for you to understand more about skyactiv i-stop. http://www2.mazda.com/en/technology/env/i-stop/ I only will off the i-stop during stuck in traffic jam.

I-stop should design more quiet and more natural when the engine back to start. As i know, other car with i-stop have 2 seperate battery. This is only my viewpoint la. I know some like and some dislike.

No Recoil Senior Member 509 posts Joined: Sep 2008	Drag race is bad for the gearbox lah, trust me i know . I come from a slightly modded Inspira 1.8 Manual, with sports extractor, decat, KKN intake, and stage 1 ECU tuning. Overall, the m3 is faster all the way until around 160kph. At 80-140kph is this car's sweet spot, it can beat much higher hp cars in this range. Try full throttle in this range and you will know , it's a skyactiv thing . As for the guy that lost to the Vios, he probably didn't full throttle the car or he's a terrible driver. This car is tuned for FC, you need to full throttle or the TCU will shift gear too early then you confirm kena tapau. Hopefully we'll be able to get tuning for this car soon. In the US they are able to get 185 horses just by tuning alone.

New Member Junior Member 16 posts Joined: Jun 2008	Finally managed to pull the car out for some long distance driving during Hari Raya. Shah Alam - Kajang - Selayang - Shah Alam - Seremban - Masjid Tanah (Melaka) via the B-Roads - Seremban - Shah Alam - Kota Damansara. Covered 588KM on a single tank, with the range counter left at 6KM before refill. When refilling, only managed to jam in only 43L of Ron 95. Very impressive compared to my previous ride (mildly modified Satria Neo Campro manual, with exhaust system + air filter + adjusted cam pulleys + lightened crankpulley + polished TB) that manage to clock around 400KM on a 40L tank of Ron 95. And better compared to my wife's bone stock Fiesta Sedan 1.6, that clocks around 420KM on a 40L tank of Ron 95. I have to say the general belief that big CC cars = higher fuel consumption does not apply to the SkyActiv Mazda. Attached thumbnail(s)

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...

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. This post has been edited by KennyKB: Jul 25 2015, 07:18 PM

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.

JDM Teknik said the dashboard need to be partially dismantled to reach the screen to plug in the interface. On the positive side no wires need to be cut so it will not void your warranty. If the price is RM1xxx can consider but RM2xxx is too high. On another note has anybody installed a high end alarm for their M3?

I really don't recommend this. The Mazda 3 uses a CAN BUS system where any wires cut may affect the integrity of the whole system. Not allowing wires to be cut is not an arbitrary Bermaz requirement but necessary for the proper functioning of the system.

How is the performance? much better or just slighter better? I remember one of the M3 owner here commented that he lost in drag race vs Vios. But it sound impossible 162hp vs 109hp. Upgrade from Proton Persona to M3, M3 way too power, shouldn't be comparing to B segment car. M3 was claimed to be more powerful than D segment car. Drag race?! Win a drag race is nothing, even a Viva can win our M3 on pick up. I tested my M3, even a Camry also gave up chasing me on highway. Vios? when over 110km/h, totally can't chase our M3, not to mention our M3 can go until 200km/h, Vios max I think 180 km/h. Even last time my Persona also can beat Vios. Unless that Vios mod his engine more than 180 horse power, then that is not fair.

Power and pickup isn't everything. Your ownership experience will include reliability, after sales service, spare parts availability, cost of maintenance, fuel efficiency and ultimately resale value. In all these the Mazda 3 comes out ahead of a Ford Focus. The distributor for Ford (SDAC) is well known for refusing to stock spare parts which entail a wait of 2 months for parts. The present generation Focus is also known to have the problem of juddering and grinding gearbox which is unsolvable up till now. In short you won't go wrong choosing a Mazda 3 over a Ford.

Getting Started Junior Member 110 posts Joined: Aug 2008 From: Damansara, Kuala Lumpur	I know that this is a Mazda3 club but I'm not comparing a current Mazda3 with a current Ford Focus MK3 - in this comparison, I agree that a Mazda3 is the winner for most of the areas. The Focus MK3 is not far behind though as SDAC only needs to work on their after sales service (I find them rude) and they would be fine. Contrary to popular belief and "my friend say" theories, throughout my ownership of my current MK2 Focus, I have no problems in reliability (no breakdowns, ever), parts (other than typical maintenance, nothing else has spoilt), cost of maintenance (I service outside since out of warranty, price is normal as well). If you look at resale values of the previous generation Focus and 3, both have similar depreciation levels (remember to take into consideration that the previous Mazda 3 2.0 was always priced higher then the previous Focus) Anyway, I'm thinking of changing from the older MK2 Focus to the current Mazda3. Reason for the change is ONLY because of the safety pack in the M3 high spec sedan vs the lack of it in C-segment cars at the time I bought the Focus. Oh, and importantly also because the M3 scores very high on NCAP and IIHS tests (as good as a Volvo but with cheaper maintenance, yay) - No other C-segment car comes this close. The only drawback to me from the change is the smaller rear seat (which I don't really care as only 2 of us generally) and I feel that the pick-up is slower during test drives (on paper is faster, but the butt disagrees). Might be the gearing I think as its tuned for efficiency. I saw that foreign cars have a "Sport" switch, is this something that can be added on?

The Focus MK3 is not far behind though as SDAC only needs to work on their after sales service (I find them rude) and they would be fine. Contrary to popular belief and "my friend say" theories, throughout my ownership of my current MK2 Focus, I have no problems in reliability (no breakdowns, ever), parts (other than typical maintenance, nothing else has spoilt), cost of maintenance (I service outside since out of warranty, price is normal as well). If you look at resale values of the previous generation Focus and 3, both have similar depreciation levels (remember to take into consideration that the previous Mazda 3 2.0 was always priced higher then the previous Focus) Anyway, I'm thinking of changing from the older MK2 Focus to the current Mazda3. Reason for the change is ONLY because of the safety pack in the M3 high spec sedan vs the lack of it in C-segment cars at the time I bought the Focus. Oh, and importantly also because the M3 scores very high on NCAP and IIHS tests (as good as a Volvo but with cheaper maintenance, yay) - No other C-segment car comes this close. The only drawback to me from the change is the smaller rear seat (which I don't really care as only 2 of us generally) and I feel that the pick-up is slower during test drives (on paper is faster, but the butt disagrees). Might be the gearing I think as its tuned for efficiency. I saw that foreign cars have a "Sport" switch, is this something that can be added on? Resale value never come into the picture when choosing my dream car. If resale value is the top priority, then is very easy for you to choose, like derraville said, only H & T for you to choose. You are right, safety features is one of the main selling point of Mazda 3, especially for CKD version. It beat all segment C car in Malaysia. yes, the rear seat really narrow in C segment range, not suitable for you if you looking for family car, but if looking for comfortable family car, still left H & T for you to choose, or maybe N also ok, exclude Kimchi car, which somehow never take them into consideration. I choose Mazda 3 because of 1. Engine Performance 2. Internal and external Design 3. Safety Features (since CBU missing I-Activesenses, so is not the safety features it attract me) This post has been edited by Amras of Nargothrond: Jul 28 2015, 05:51 PM

This should be the way as safety features should not be optional. The buyer should pay more for luxury features not safety features. But UMW-T obviously doesn't think so. If you are getting your car soon you must have ordered the high spec white? This post has been edited by KennyKB: Jul 28 2015, 06:05 PM

If you ask which is better in this club, sure everyone here will vote for M3 and that's why we are here. I also make a lot of comparison before i decide to choose M3 as new design, new engine, new technology and of course CKD price is very attractive with all the specs given. Previously M3 is about 138k is consider over price for C Segment car and with medium specs. For resale value, of course always T&H in Malaysia market but M3 also won't loose too much. T&H is too common on the road and you can simply take a stone and throw also will kena few. Mazda brand let ppl feel it is most premium japanese car in Malaysia. Of course if you want to have a nice Service Center, T&H still the winner. Think of it 2.0 car with below 110k for mid spec and 124k form high spec, even kimchi 2.0 also need about 118k. Safety features like 6 air bag is available in any specs, just what you can add on in HIgh spec is safety features like i-Activsense, keyless entry, GPS, leather seat, pedal shift, auto cruise control, Bi-Xenon HID, HUD and so on....with additional of 13k comparing to mid spec. For the back space, yes the leg room is not that good, but most of the C Sement car leg room also just so so, unless you get yourself SUV. Even HRV or City leg room also better than M3. Depends on how frequent your car fetch with full people. This is only my personal viewpoint which can share with you. Final decision is still on you.

Performace wise the Focus and Mazda3 is about the same. The difference is in the throttle curve. For the Mazda3 I'd say the first 50% of the fuel pedal is designed for fuel saving, so if you're looking for that feeling where you "step abit on the pedal and car zooms" type of deal you will be dissapointed. To turn on the Mazda3 power you have to step on the throttle quite deep. At MAX throttle the difference between the 2 cars are almost negligable. I tested the Mazda3, Focus and Jetta quite abit before settling for the Mazda3. With the Focus I actually drove from KL to Ipoh in a friend's car. My conclusion is this, if you want power in the city driving Jetta is the one to get as it's got alot of low end torque which makes zipping in city a breeze. For highway driving all three cars are quite equal. I suggest you test drive the M3 again, but this time push it harder and you'll see the car come to life.

I agree the Jetta is fun to drive due to its excellent low end torque but too bad a VW is only for the brave and the pain tolerant now. I heard VGM is improving and the DSG issue is over but I've yet to be convinced. In 5 years time I may be ready to get a VW if VGM continues to improve.

Yup that's why in the end I went for Mazda instead of VW. Not worth the trouble for abit better city driving experience as I'm not the type that race around in heavy traffic. One might argue the Mazda might even have advantage in city driving due to the Lane Departune Assist we have, as I can confidently zip around with it on and never have to worry about hitting someone in the blindside area.

The car guide advise to inflate 250KPa that's around 36PSI but I feels that my ride is kinda bumpy and stiff.. Feels like releasing some air to make my ride feels more comfortable but afraid when my car bump into pot hole will damage my rims..

TWO issues with higher tyre pressure: 1. high pressure is good for fuel consumption but bad for comfort. 2. pressure will increase a lot if u drive at high speeds under the hot Malaysian sun . remember air expands according to the temperature. if u pump 35 psi when cold, it will definitely increase to 40+ psi during high temps.

Once your car ages abit the vibration is no longer noticable, at least for me. As for your tyres, 30 psi is way too low. The recommended psi for 16" is 36. Of course your steering feels heavy because you're under inflated. The shaking at high speed is probably due to bad balancing and alignment. Mine wasn't perfect either, I brought mine to an alignment sifu and now the car is straight like a bullet and no shaking all the way to 200kph.

That day I sent my m3 to HQ, they told every good, no problem v alignment n balance, just my tyre pressure was too high (given by them also @@)...so change from 32>30... I make it 31 now, steering lighter but tyre running feel harder. For new car shaking problem, hopefully so...

I've not noticed vibration when holding my steering when idling but different people may have different sensitivity. A difference of 1-2 psi pressure should not be noticeable to the driver and I wonder why Bermaz is making a big deal out of it. I think you should follow the label given on the car door and not some service tech's advice. New car paint is not supposed to be polished so soon nor is it necessary. Just buy some carnauba wax and wax yourself. Why need to go to a shop?

No car shampoo needed Here's the coated effect, super high gloss very watery effect:- Water repel effect video:- http://vidmg.photobucket.com/albums/v331/i...zpsqslt10ge.mp4 This post has been edited by jimchan: Jul 29 2015, 05:21 PM

After coated, the shop gives 5 years warranty with free 4 times maintenance (re-coat the whole car). Go back the shop for car wash and vacuum in within 5 years are FOC. The sales person advise me to go back for maintenance every 6 months if didn't really take care of the car much.. If ownself very caring can go back for maintenance once a year. After 4 FOC maintenance finished, go back to re-coat they charge RM200 which I find it's quite reasonable as the price is slightly cheaper or same with waxing / polish..
