u will be surprise

overall NVH of course alot better

but when it comes to the roof, myvi fair alot better 

we got panel shop for accessories and electrical stuff in skyactiv m3 group, m3c also have it, can try to ask there once you joined

Then can try ask at there also ma, can try pm nic goh in the group he's in PJ If I'm not mistaken

Is there a difference between a fully imported unit or locally assembled unit?

You mean CKD?

The only good from CBU if compare to CKD I would say is the i-eloop?

CBU better quality? What are the better features you are talking about for CKU?

Are you the one who did Sierra Glow at USJ 1 on Saturday?

Please do more findings on the car. Paul Tan has already mentioned and compare for you. Even pictures are there.  :thumbsup:
Olive, where is the car pictures? Some more already do coating, post la some pics and make this thread shine shine abit.. 
Miss Hanz and SK_C, I still couldn't get what you mean.. Release paddle after 3k, engine response too slow to return normal?
what response are you looking for?
Release pedal then rpm should drop?
Or you mean when press on accelerator, delay abit then only engine response?
Mind to give more description?

FYR, I upgraded from P.Persona, the lag is more obvious. Now this M3 is alot more fun, I would say my pedal response is quick and accurate. Simply follow my commands and wills.. 

lol....dont keep asking for picture only la, later she run away

i think what they mean is the gear changing back to normal, it tends to upshift and keep for few second before resume back to fuel saving mode

Considering the Honda case below, maybe we should mark the oil filter or ask for the remaining engine oil next time we do service?

Nice coating.
I haven't do mine

Plan to go Ceramic Pro.
Mind to share a pic before and after coating?

You use paddle shift means you engage manual mode. It is called manual mode for a reason, meaning, the computer won't do the job for you until you input what you want. It applies to recent models of mercedes and bmw also which i test drove before.

It will last about 5 seconds. If you reached the speed or complete your maneuver, upshift manually to lower down the engine RPM. There's nothing wrong with the car at all. If you think it is not fast enough, do it with the gear shifter, that one very direct the moment you push out of manual mode.
Why do you want remaining engine oil back? They all pour exact amount (5L) into the oil sump after draining. They already give you free engine oil, some more want to ask more??

If you want your old engine oil back, please tell them so, but very unlikely they will allow you as it is messy and well go against their SOP and 5S procedure. Service centres (even neighbourhood workshops) will use a giant oil catch tank when they drain out the oil so in the end of the day, they can drain out that tank to recycle vendor.

Unless you're into used oil analysis (which is extremely rare for normal motorist here and i can quite confidently say in this region other than large commercial fleet companies), there's no point for you keeping the old oil. If you die die want to have the old oil, the service technician can simply just pump the oil from the oil catch tank and give it to you, which already mix with maybe 20 cars/trucks worth of used oil. No way to ascertain that used oil is the one drained from your car.

And how are you going to dispose it properly? The SC/workshops at least will liase with those oil recycling vendor to collect.

If really cannot trust the service centre, then either you request you be present to witness when they service your car (which they most likely won't allow) or do service DIY style on your own (not outside workshop as the same situation stated above applies).

post in skyactiv m3 group in fb then no need censor plate lor

You mean new engine oil? How much oil they return to you?
Ok la if that's what they want to prove themselves. But still doesn't prove that bottle of engine oil was indeed poured into your car, could be any empty bottle around their tong sampah...oh well, conspiracy theories aside, i'll just trust them in doing their thing since it is warranted and part of their free service package.

As for the Honda case, i think it is a genuine oversight of the staff there. If it is really prevalent here regardless of car brand, that means the companies here are really shit head in the business ethics and moralities.

I give them my     

we need 5L of engine oil right? if i'm not mistaken mazda engine oil come with 4L bottle, so to refill the engine oil of m3 we need 2 bottle, if give back the extra bottle of engine oil that would be 3L worth of engine oil already

Maybe I didn't ask for it. But I feel is ok. Cause as for new car, the engine oil should be just decrease a bit before the next service. If my car is more than 5 years then I will request for it as might need to add-up before the next service.

Since the service is free I don't think they are obliged to give back the remaining engine oil. They can combine the remaining engine oil to use for other cars.

Replacement of parts is a different story. If you are being charged for the part they should return you the old part to prove it has been replaced.

tbh this can happen anywhere, not just Honda. Unscrupulous people are everywhere.

I normally pull the dipstick to double check the oil levels after service and it's pretty obvious if the oil has been changed.

At my place, my car only change part in front of me, just between 1 mirror so I can observed at there if really wanted to. 1 service center allows me to get beside my car when service ( but I guess for safety purposed, normally that's a NO for it. )

And actually very hard to check whether the engine oil is being replaced or not, except you are well experience with the engine oil, and by touching it, you can feel the thickness of the oil.

So I think if you can see your car when they service, is good enough.
