Hey all!

I've finally decided to go with Mazda 3!

I got a couple of questions

1) Is the HS spec really worth it? Any GL owners got regret?

2) There is optional accs which is SkyTint Film for RM1900.00, is this a good tint and worth it or should I go outside to do tinted?

3) Are there any special offers/gifts from your SA, especially right now is year-end. I asked at Johor bahru showroom (permas branch), no rebate or anything , only thing they offer is free leather seat upgrades if I'm buying GL

Thanks guys, hope to join your club soon!!

Thank you for your reply!

Yes all those items listed are quite fancy but I can live without fancy such as cruise control, auto windshield wiper, powerseat, paddle shifters etc.

What really caught my eye and make me consider the HS is the safety features such as Smart City Brake System (SCBS), Rear Vehicle Monitoring System (RVM), Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS). These are quite useful features,. especially the SCBS. Has anyone tried SCBS and how well it works?

Crawled through the forum and google can't get much info on the SkyTint film that Mazda is offering for RM1900, any members here installed Skytint for their Mazda? How is it?

Very hard to get a test drive in Johor bahru, the branch at permas jaya (Azam Motors) only got 1 test car and the other branch Rias Auto don't even have a test car.

haha yeah I just wanted to test drive to reaffirm my decision altho from all the reviews I've watch and read, Mazda 3 handling is one of the best in it's segment

I'm wondering for the SCBS, is it just for stationery object? How about this scenario, I'm in a traffic jam or following a car, I'm driving between the 4-30km/h speed and suddenly the car in front of me emergency brake, will the SCBS be activated and avoid collision?

Cool, may I have a look at the free body kits? For the free security tint, what brand is it?

But I'm based in Johor bahru, how do I buy it from you at KL?

I wonder is it hard to move mazda 3 front number plate placement similar to mazda 6?

I feel the plate placement on mazda 3 spoil the design of the front

1) I wonder is it hard to move mazda 3 front number plate placement similar to mazda 6? I feel the plate placement on mazda 3 spoil the design of the front

2) What type of security did you guys buy for your car? Is steering and pedal lock effective at all or doesn't really make a difference. Hope can recommend some good security, I don't want to lose my car after few months of getting it

Yeah from what I see on forum, Locktech seems to be very popular, I think pricing is around RM300-400

I wonder what makes a car hot or not for thieves, is it the accessories or depending on neighboring country like thailand? But Mazda 3 seems to be quite popular in thailand also..

I think mainly is because of HS 18inch big rims vs GL 16inch which adds weigh

wahhhhhh damn nicee hahaha

looks very A class AMG

what body kit is that?

So far I only see 3 type of kit, file war body kit quite nice also

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!!

Cool, thanks! I'll confirm with public bank..

My friend say once I got my car, best is to do coating immediately to protect the car, but he do detailing one la so maybe just trying to sell me

I was going to do coating but was gonna do it after my car looks less shiny like 1 year later

Should I do now or later? What did you guys do to your car when you first got it?

Hmm year end already Mazda also not much promotion, considering to buy car now or next year. Is it true year end car resale value very bad? If yes I might as well wait a few weeks for 2016..

But some friend say doesn't affect as it look at car manufactured date and not registration date...

Did Mazda announce they will hike up prices next year? I heard they won't but no official announcement..

just a $500 rebate only

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?

High spec

Anyone know how to change the number plate position from the grill to lower just like mazda 6?

Hi all!

Newbie here, hope you guys can help me out with some questions.

1) Do I need to turn off aircond before starting the car?

2) The Rear view monitoring (RVM), can I turn off the beeping sound or make it softer?

3) Mazda provides 3 year free servicing but is there any wear and tear that I should be aware of that needs to be paid out of my pocket? Eg. 2 years need to change battery/tyre etc. and the cost of these items.

4) I got the car and it's quite bumpy, possibly because it's over inflated, what tyre pressure do you recommend? I tried looking for tyre pressure monitor function but not available, I guess this doesn't come with the CKD HS model?

Thank you all!

Thanks guys!

Hey all!

My car is about 550km, haven't go first service yet. The spanner light turned on today, is it just a reminder to service at 1000KM or something is wrong?

For the service, if 700-800KM can go or must reach 1000KM?

Thanks!
