Hope someone can answer the newbie to forum questions

1) Is there a difference between CKD version and CBU, besides 45k difference price tag... mine CBU btw (the earlier batch)
2) and whats that SCBS thing you guys talking about, never experienced it before wor...
3) Are you cars tinted? mine with 3M film but still veli veli hot leh, and AC also not very powerful to feel cold air when blasting, comparing with myvi advance...
4) Which petrol you guys prefer?? Ron95 i dislike shell the most haha always doesnt add up for given range
5) Does your cars have auto locking? like press brake then car doors locked... or need aftermarket :/
6) Anybody know mazda 3 speakers brand? The mid speakers quite shiok haha
7) Is it true(heard from a friend) skyactiv technology allows engine to have higher than other commercial cars like civic combustion ratio, hence we should not follow the every 10k free service by mazda and just service every 5k ourselves... change oil only maa rather spend that than repair engine after 100k milage


So are all these(Q2,3,5) just my car problem or M3...

Just read up about difference, dont fully get it.. so the CKD, cheaper, has more features? like those fancy safety stuff (auto brakes, auto wiper, cruise control, rear car detection, adjustable headlights, auto off highbeam light, sensor at mirror, auto hazard lights?) thats alot... can i still get them


Mine has the same, probably just engine parts cooling down, i think its fine as long there isnt any parts exposed to water when driving... so hot already if kena KL flood die lorh..


I asked Mazda service before, they said because of ABS or suspension thingy, using different material from last time(probably want save cost), they added some rubber for mine but still got sound. According for them its nothing to worry about and its very normal, many complaints already

Ahh thanks kenny

Yeap entire car tinted, sunroof tint kao kao haha all glass have close to maximum visible light transmitted % allowed, but sadly still veli veli panas scared dashboard leather crack or decolourise after a couple of years..
damn.. wanted those features haha sounds so cooooool
Comparing with cars with same price range, i find it quite good lorh. But civic speakers best for me haha cause you driver faster, it gets louder
But would you say your AC is poewrful??dk my car only or memang not up to my expectation, like hot hot weather 1 hour in open car park, AC on full blast also take around 3-5 minutes before back passenger feels the cold air?

^^^ he's right, first service is 1000km, second is 10000km, and it follows a 10k interval after...
And im 80% sure it's 6months as well
Find it a bit long, but then again, BMW has same service intervals, buttttt a few mechanics and car junkie friends told me, if i follow their service schedule, its because they want you to buy new vehicle w/ trade in price or spend byk byk on repair

!!!!!! no fair!!!!!!!!! i really liked that feature :'( how could they do this to me!?!!
No CBU doesnt have it :'(
Hope it's just some small programming and they can do it for me

Hey you're right!! thanks daniel
I just googled it, maybe i just concentrate too hard when i drive cause my ALC is always at maximum but I never realise it getting louder :/
Maybe i should pay attention to my speaker volume now haha thanks again )

I think it's more to individual preference, like you said, mazda has undercarriage shield, its quite large, protects well enough to prevent water and scratches from potholes and speed bumps, but mazda plastic is soft, so if you hit something like a curb, high chance of damaging engine frame due to collision, yes your engine has a cage protecting it too Maybe the orsen 1 is hard enough to not dent the engine frame, but may cause other damages like your car stuck floatting above the curb? Dont see much use except they said reduce aero, usually just gimmicks anyway...

I would say its not worth, but entirely up to you BTW mazda undercarriage shield is RM500

Im a heavy footer but always resisting temptation haha, the moment i lose it then it'll have an avg of 14 for city and around 10 for highway
If i can control then it'll me 9 for city and around 6 for highway i always try to not rev pass 2k

Based on what i understand from the user manual, the metal key is just to unlock door manually, like when key has low battery
When this happens, signal wouldnt be strong enough when key is far away for oyu to start engine, so your put the key very close to receiver (engine start button) for it to detect the weak signal produced, cause low battery ma not no battery yet... well the manual said this is what you should do when your key battery is too weak to be detected when starting engine, they didnt specify the purpose to metal keypart but ain't it obvious...

Mazda charge veli veli expensive... if you dont wanna claim insurance cause NCB, well just hunt around for spray paint shop outside, bring your car to mazda ask for quotation and how they repair, if you like then go with them lorh. If otherwise then hunt around for a cheaper shop... dont kena slaughter, but bare in mind that mazda red paint is sold to them more expensive too so it'll be charged higher than normal japanese car... for paint only, labour should be same... But outside is usually cheaper than Bermaz, this is how they earn cash outside anyway... they'll take out the part blow hot air and hammer then put back lepas tu paint

Hey guys, any of you used the Mazda wifi function before?? what does it do, i tried using with my phone tethering but can't connect, some other forums i read said it needs some special structure of passcode to work(bug)? anybody actually tried it out??

And any of you updated your mazda MMS before?? north america site but it updates the mazda system supposedly, gonna try it out soon
https://mazda-na.naviextras.com/shop/portal...ox&topic=Backup

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

I read somewhere(quite sure for another car), they take their range based on the FC of last 10km for rough estimation, then next 10km for a more accurate reading... But somehow i find mazda estimated range quite accurate, like it doesnt respond instantly compared to some other cars i drove...

Both CBU & CKD has it haha, i just checked the CBU recently, but its hardly noticeable... Unless you drive fast like around 80, then you go adjust the ALC like fiddling around 0-7, then there's a difference haha... but when im driving and i on it i dont notice it

This car mmg zoom-zoom, flew to 200+ with ease(didnt check if i reached the 210 mark cause cbu...no headup display) well actually 190 onwards was quite pushing but it was still going fine for me
floored the car all the way through federal, from KL to batu tiga toll at 3am
Probably would reached 210 if a stupid mazda 6 didnt get in my way...

Do get your car checked btw, my myvi 1.5 felt hard to push beyond 160... kesas highway 150 wasnt a problem, reached 160 eventually...

Well believe it or not I did pass 200, wouldn't realy say you need to push, it felt like how a myvi would accelerate from 120 onwards for the mazda's 160 onwards, I can only compare to myvi cause thats the only other car i sped in recently, when i reached 200 it felt like a myvi's 150, pushable but very slow progress.
I needed to brake like 1 lamppost-distance before a car.. Well i'm worried about safety too.. And the cornerings i slowed down back to 120 maybe, couldnt really observe cause i suck at multitasking..
Heads up for those who wouldnt want to try, yes your brakes are super good but get ready for a strong burning smell in your car, my driver side passenger said its normal even his altis and cousins civic has the same problem, just floor the car for around 30 seconds straight for that smell haha..

Of course safety first, only reason why I didnt confirm reaching 210 cause toll was close and i was worried about stupid drivers flying to my lane nearby via subang exit

I recently sent my car(CBU variant red) for repaint, the mazda's so famed red was soul red right.... But my documentation stated it was true red, checked online and turns out they are 2 different colours... Any other CBU got the same thing? And i heard form a lot of people that the CKD red isnt as nice as the CBU, so whats the CKD's red colour code?
CBU is A4A True Red. Isn't it suppose to be Soul Red? i thought they renamed it or something only... anybody knows if it a lot nicer??
