You wont go all the way down to 50L.

So far,

90% City driving, with super heavy traffic = roughly 42L, 420km - 450km
If balik kampung, I'm from Puchong back Lumut Jetty (hometown is Pulau Pangkor), not using highway, use kampung route. no traffic jam or what so ever.. And some spirited driving since will need to overtake those slow vehicles and lorry, RPM rev to 5-6k.
With full tank, I can have balance of roughly 2-3 small bar left. Not sure how many litres remain there, but mileage already pass 600km when back to Puchong (go and back, and drive around Setiawan for lunch)..

with that remaining fuel, I think can drive another more 60km, depending on how your heavy your foot is..  flex.gif
*
there was once i drove from ipoh to KL, speed between 120 km/h to 160km/h and still managed to get 7.5L/100km, it seems like once you go to highway you get a very very good fuel consumption

if i drive up genting like a mad man, the m3 can easily drink half tank of petrol shakehead.gif

My 2 months old M3 engine wiring bitten by Rats. Not under warranty and changing the whole set of wiring could cost around 3k. I would suggest that you guys get your engine spray by some anti-rodent repellent. Haven't found any selling in the market. Any suggestion ? Any of you experience something like this ?
*
go to electrical specialist outside to change a new cable, maybe just need to cut out the bad cable then connect it with a new cable of the same size will do, but will void warranty for sure

i wonder how the rat hide inside engine bay

worst case it might not be bitten by rat but melt from high temperature? seems very unlikely

QUOTE(wkc5657 @ May 18 2016, 01:45 PM)
Mine has water vapour over the whole reverse light module including the red part. I just let the service administrator know about it when i was there for service. I let her see a past photo and she physically see that got water vapour in it. Then she straight away go get approval to claim warranty on that part.
*
damn....that is good service, gonna try to snap picture if i drive in heavy downpour again, but mine dont have vapour though

The HUD in my m3 makes a squeaky sound when it's cold (e.g. during the night). Tried applying slight pressure on it by pulling it towards me and the sound stopped. It's a very small issue lah, just wondering if anyone has it too and if you have a solution.
*
you mean the noise when the HUD extend out when you start car that time? it should be the motor sound

Eh, sorry, not the HUD then, I meant the infotainment LCD screen.

It's a little squeaky sound of the back of the unit rubbing against the dashboard material that happens when the car is moving. My temporary DIY approach is to stuff name cards between the back of the screen and the dashboard and it works. For some reason, it only happens when the car's interior is cold - my wild guess is that for some reason certain parts shrink and become loose.
*
i dont have this problem though
you can try to slap the dashboard, the sound might go away

Im just using Xiaomi Yi car Dashcam camera. Worry to make wiring to  the fuse box so I just buy power extension cable from center console and put below front passenger seat. Cost RM182(camera) + RM18 (power extension)
*
do you need to turn off the dashcam when the car is switch off?

i wonder if it can be attach directly under the i-active sense sensor housing or behind the rear view mirror, that way will be less obstructive, at least for me

Buyed it from Lazada. Original price RM214. After 15% discount (voucher) = RM181.90
No need to turn off. It will turn off automatically when power lost from the power source.u can switch ON manually but the batery capacity just 300mAh.

This camera is Chinese version with Chinese language but it can be flash with US firmware for English...

16" lowered? mine also meteor gray but with the stock white rims

it seems like our car seating is slightly lower than other cars, when stop side by side at traffic light can see our seating is a bit lower, that day i sat on my friends saga flx front passenger, i feel so tall and i can see the distance in front of the car clearly, when driving m3 i always need to estimate and cannot keep too close laugh.gif

next time i go back hometown should drive back my vios see how it feels like laugh.gif

18" lowered. Really? Before lowered I feel that my car was really high up. The seats are adjustable tho, maybe try that?
*
maybe black color rims look smaller in picture hmm.gif

passenger side not adjustable la, driver seat i adjust based on the HUD default level and i'm comfortable with that tongue.gif

even my colleagues also say the passenger seat height seems to be lower than other cars when they look at the car beside while waiting for traffic light, maybe because of the door body is higher than other car and window is smaller

you cant link anything from paultan website to LYN

the front grill of the new facelift look less garang now, more roundish like cx-3, but the G vectoring control feature look interesting

anyone experiencing that after engine-off, some noise coming out from Exhaust pipe? looks like exhaust rattling noise. will stay for a couple mins then go off.

exhaust is dissipating the heat, metal expand when heated and contract when cooled down

so basically skyactiv engine exhaust temperature is way higher than others conventional engines?
does not happen in my other car as well. this mazda3 is much more obvious.
*
Maybe because the thickness of the exhaust metal also?

I not really sure why it rattle so much, maybe really cooling down faster compare to other car

all car has these sound actually, just that they are not so obvious

But so far doesn't seems like got any m3 with exhaust or engine issue

no active grill shutter, few of the members has done the plate modification, the lower grill seems to serve no purpose, the CAI is only at the top right of the front grill

can i know what is the maintenance cost for mazda 3? minor and major service at the interval of every 10,000km.

my aunt is interested to get one mazda 3.

currently i myself is driving sylphy:

minor service: RM300+ to 400+
major service: RM600+ to 700+

i can use this as a comparison for her, thanks very much for your feedback!
*
around that price if go to sc, but during 3 years/60000km warranty period the service and parts is free

after warranty better just go outside workshop and do the servicing, not sure how expensive the spare parts is gonna be when compare to nissan

QUOTE(archonixm @ May 25 2016, 12:24 AM)
Wow new mazda comes with 2.2 skyactiv-D, i hope they will bring it into malaysia
*
2.2 D is nice, 2.0 skyactiv-G already has 200nm torque, maybe 2.2 D will have something like 250-300? since 2.5D turbocharged is 450nm

but malaysia dont really see japanese diesel cars on the road other than pickup and van? hmm.gif

The 2.2 diesel comes in 2 tune :
150hp/315nm
175hp/350nm

There is no 2.5D, only 2.5 petrol turbo for the new upcoming CX9.
In normal driving, the torque curve is more favourable to the driver as the bulk of the torque comes in between 2000-3000rpm without the need to change gears, where most overtaking are required. So just step and go, quite effortless decent acceleration. Do you own a diesel vehicle before or feel the torque kick of a modern diesel car?

On a normal naturally aspirated car, it takes rather long to wait for the torque to arrive at higher RPM range of 4000 and above (unless you drop a few gears) or you have a turbocharged car.
Diesel engines are made more robust than petrol versions as they have to deal with the higher compression and torque when the engine is in operation. So they are technically more tahan lasak.

The expensive maintenance mainly on the diesel particulate filter (DPF) exhaust after treatment (which our regulating authorities are not imposing and also from crap quality diesel) which can get choked off from too frequent short runs, stop go traffic or cold engine runs (which most of us face daily in malaysia). That one cost quite a lot to replace when fully choked off. Need to have at least once highway drive a week to let the DPF regenerate/burn off the soot accumulated.

Another killer is the dual mass flywheel (DMF). A lot of the german marques' DMF die starting as short as 50k km. Some last longer but will still eventually fail longer down the road. Most of the owners (i refer to UK/Europe) lease diesel vehicles as mostly after 3/4 years, the problem starts and they change their lease to a newer car to avoid the headaches. Also the urea (or AdBlue) that needs to be refilled after 2 or 3 fuel pump visits. Without all these, the diesel exhaust is extremely polluting. Imagine all the diesel exhaust crap in the air we breathe in daily considering that our government is not enforcing emissions control and the combination of crap quality diesel and old age engines running around with plumes of dark clouds. Wonder you ever heard the term "rolling coal"?
*
seems like not easy to own a diesel engine with all the constant maintenance sweat.gif

but the torque it can provide is really sweet!

talking about emission control, really hope that government enforce emission control on those lorry and buses, everyday need to inhale those smoke from rapidKL bus when i walk to work vmad.gif
