1) The CKD has more features than the CBU but you get to enjoy your Mazda 3 earlier. 
2) SCBS = Smart City Breaking System - the car will auto brake to avoid hitting obstacle between 4 and 30 km/h
3) Didn't tint my car and the air-con is powerful enough (mine is CKD)
4) I use Ron 95 as recommended by Mazda. No problem.
5) No new cars have auto lock nowadays. You can add it aftermarket.
6) Don't know but it's not Bose
7) Just follow the recommended 10K service. In Australia the interval for Mazda 3 is 20K km/ 1year

Unfortunately there is no way to add any of the CKD features.

thanks, will drop by later for quote, have to decide whether claim insurance or not

yes, parked next to my car was a big metal rubbish bin that got floated up by rushing water of few inches from drain and straight banged into my side

Hi all,

I have a new M3 - GL spec, Meteor Grey color year 2016

Ready stock

Anybody interested.?

PM me..limited time only

I'm still considering between M3 and the new civic.. So conflict in my mind to make the decision >.<" Anyone of u regret and dissatisfied with ur M3 ??

hi guys. my mother currently owns the mazda 3 2012 non skyactiv old model cbu unit. she's planning to change to cx3 soon, does used mazda 3 have a lot of problems? if im not mistaken the market price for m3 2011-2012 is around 65-70k. Is is worth getting it?

Based on the 2.0L engine for the M3 now, if it is replaced with a 1.6L engine then I would say yes, it will be underpowered. So I will expect the 1.6 M3 (2010/2011) to be underpowered as well.

You can't buy a new Mazda 3 CBU now. Unless you want to get an AP and import yourself.

i also read something about the tinting blocked the smart tag and GPS reception is it ... so how was the final verdict ? all solved now ?

Both issues faced before. I've also experienced the following:
- MZD screen completely down. Needed a reset to fix it.
- MZD restarted midway through a call.
- USB music went back to track #1 when starting the car (usually happens after 5-10 starts).

I think it's a software issue. Mine's still on the original V27 when I got my car in 2014.

My MX-5 running V56 or whatever's newest never had any of these problems.

Just got my mazda3 high spec , blue reflex mica color. So far I am loving every bit of the car. When I got the car mileage is about 86Km. is there anyway to set the I-stop default as disable ? Don't really like this feature especially when u jam in KL.
