Hello guys..recently have been surveying for new car and finally downwith 2 choices the m3 or new civic...waiting to test drive both oon so would like a m3 user review on m3.... Hehe

thanks!

Why dont u take the package 3M tint + coating from khiso ?

Do you coat ur car bro?

depends on what you want to hear about m3, high compression engine and no turbo, definitely lesser aftermarket parts compare to seaweed

Any side effect of coating?
If kene bird dropping, when notice it already dry, what will happen to the coating?

Would like to know if m3 have major problems or not after using it for some time....

Khiso is?

That's advice from sierra glow, if you kena any acidic or alkaline substances, better clear it soon. As far as I see from my car, kena 1,2 times doesn't see what difference, probably long term maintenance wise, better clean off these?

owned it for 3 months only 3.5k mileage, so far no major problem except the front suspension got sound when going through bump and while raining

other problem is the high spec m3 tyres is using low profile sport tyres, not really suitable for rough malaysia road, some of the owner had their tyre swollen and have to change

another common problem is the battery premature failure, but the system will show warning and the car is still driveable with i-stop, can claim the battery from sc under warranty, a new one cost around RM400-600 depends on where you get it

I mean this coating
http://www.51coating.com/product_202788/Na...-available.html

Is this coating available in Malaysia?

Btw, if you are not a female, as your signature suggested, why put your profile as female?

SG-5 is still RM950. The blue flame will be double of the price which is RM 1875 (25% discount, Ori price is RM 2500). I did all my 4 cars with siera glow. M3 will be my fifth car.

Any problem so far?

Try not to waste your money on coating and body kits. The Mazda 3 body lines are beautiful already without bodykit. Coating doesn't protect your paint against bird poo, tree sap, watermark, UV light or scratches. Just wax your car every 2-3 months.

Spend your money on more useful items like tyre pressure monitoring system, front sensors and autobrake lock/auto folding side mirror instead of cosmetics. Just my 2 cents.

Ya true. Many people say the same

The stock tyre is kumho right? Seems to hav kind of alot of prob ya...hmm...

stock is toyo T1 sport

not much problem actually, tyres is subjective and can say is random, just make sure you dont go through uneven road or bump and high speed and dont scratch anything against the sidewall then should be fine

the factory defect is only the knocking and ngek ngek sound at the front suspension while raining, then again seems like not all cars has this problem

the battery will reach end-of-life sooner or later as it is consider as wear and tear, syukurlah we can claim for new battery from sc (for one time only)

if want to prolong battery life just make sure to switch off i-stop after start car

some skyactiv m3 club member has already reached 60k mileage and warranty over, so far no complain of major problem other than the stated problem above and some minor rattling sound, this is a good thing because skyactiv-everything is consider very new tech in the market

one thing though, the road noise of this car is very very very extremely noise if you compare with seaweed, probably is because of the sport tyres that come factory installed on our m3

Haven't do coating yet

Hi ginny88,

installing those thing will affect the warranty as well? do u mind to show the link here?TQTQ
