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

rebate and gifts is depends on the SA, maybe in KL here there are more competition going on, imagine within 50km radius in KL you got like 4-5 mazda dealers

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.

It depends, for coating i think worth doing, as i had 2 cars in my house with Sierra glow coating, really shiny, of course more shiny than a brand new car paint. And not so easy to get dirty compared to cars without coating. And RM 950 you get 5 years warranty, even if you involved in accident, they can free do coating again for max 3 panels of your car. Coating is still extra protection and your car look even nicer. And if do coating, u save more money on polishing.

Just my opinion.

950 is cheap tho, which coating?
in kuantan its around 2k+ for the branded, and i calculated for my own reference and feel, better not to.

rm2500 (tint) / RM20 (wash car) = 125 times i can wash the car
1 week wash once, i can wash for like 2 years plus. and the coating i heard is not fully covered if accident.
every 2 months i pay extra rm30 for wax coating 2 years only rm400+-

While, personally I din do coating. But my sister car did.

5 years warranty as usual. Accident once, whole backside gone, bring back to re-coat free, just charge normal car wash fees.

Then when get scratchers by bicycle or anything she bring back to the shop, they help her to polish and get rid all those marking for free and charge her with normal car wash money.

So I think, apart from doing coating is good or not, also need to depends service from the dealer.

950 is from Sierra Glow, they have quite good review also~ you can do some research online.
Basically you also save some hassle, because easier to take care or wash.

depends on which part you do la, but yea soundproof is quite expensive and require a lot of time and labour

if the shop has bad workmanship your car might have rattling sound in future and it is not immediately noticeable that type

tomorrow collect car? rclxms.gif

even if m3 has lesser noise compare to proton, you will still not like it, why? because you are spending 124k on a japanese C segment yet you get issue that a proton has laugh.gif

is sort of a natural behavior that when we are spending more on something we expect better quality from it
