Turbo = more maintenance in future. But the torque at low rpm must be nice to drive.

QUOTE(olivechong @ Jun 13 2016, 02:19 PM) i think the remote start can only use for morning warm up the car, or when the weather is really hot, can start up the car before leaving? Or just simply to impress the others? In hot weather I suppose remote start can cool down the car first (for a couple of secs) before you reach the car from 10m away.   There is no need to warm up a modern car. Just start, buckle up and drive. |

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 13 2016, 02:27 PM) if you live in terrace house, you can start the car inside your house, let engine warm up and cool the cabin while you brush teeth, take shower and change cloth Terrace house your car will be parked in the car porch not under direct sun so no need to cool down first.of course at the expenses of fuel consumption la  2.5L Skyactiv-D turbocharged?  if you park in open air car park under a sunny day for half a day, 10 meter is just a few steps away which doesn't make any difference in cooling down the cabin though since the aircon it not powerful enough to cool down an oven cabin can use to impress others also la, passerby will think this car so canggih can start by itself and girls will go "woah.....so lovely  " our m3 also can attract attention of others with the sporty front design, but mostly attention guys lar  Want to impress girls need a Merc or BMW la...not M3 or Civic. |

QUOTE(eugenet88 @ Jun 14 2016, 04:07 PM) hopefully tmr can get car then try is the noise so unbearable. maybe i used to potong which is worse lehh. see first. The M3 NVH isn't as bad as it is made out to be. It may be a little higher than average but the story has been amplified as it is retold umpteen times until the NVH is described as truly atrocious. It's the same story with the so-called limited back space which although isn't as good as a Civic is still undeserving of being called awful or terrible. Adults who sit in the backseat of my M3 haven't complained. but thanks for info. btw kuantan maybe got good workmanship, need to survey. i blif in kuantan kia Bermaz may have overspecified the HS wih 18" rims and thin performance tyres which lead to more road noise but it's the price you pay for aesthetics and better handling. I drive the GL with 16" rims and I find the NVH to be pretty decent; good enough for me to enjoy music. I've also driven the HS a few times specifically to test the NVH and I don't know what the hoo-ha is all about. It's not as if you are driving an Avanza or Axia but from the comments you would think the HS is worse! |

QUOTE(MissHanz @ Jun 16 2016, 05:47 PM) I've been considering to revert to my previous v55 as it's more stable it seems. Previously media player, castscreen etc has been working at least 70% of the time, right now it's about 20% only. However as I understand our CMU memory is very ridiculously limited, so installing too many things would not be friendly. Waah so cute! Now we have 2 in this forum. As for the android auto, I agree. While it does cool things that castcsreen does not do IE, show you your whatsapp chats etc, I still prefer Waze as my preferred navi. Coupled with the disabled mazda software itself and the iffy reverse camera integration, it almost feels like driving with an eye patch. I feel crippled somehow. |

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 19 2016, 12:45 AM) today went to the new sc in equine park to get them check on the lower arm bush, after a round of test drive they agreed to change it for me without any issues, gonna change it next friday Beautiful photo with a moody sky. It matches the colour of your Mz3 and the car looks like a sleek, mean machine coiled with energy and about to pounce forward. the technician spray some water to the lower arm and managed to reproduce the same sound  took my car to go hiking today, went up to 550m from sea level, that's the altitude displayed at the speedometer app, not sure correct or not  Mazda 3 by Kien Seng, on Flickr is it possible to remove the plate holder and trim of the black part at the left and right side, wonder will kena stop by police/jpj or not? feel like the number plate is too big |

QUOTE(olivechong @ Jun 20 2016, 03:01 PM) So it means all Mazda SC dun give back remaining engine oil? 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. How about the old parts that have been replaced? Just asking first, coz i think good to know when i do my 1k service later. 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. |

QUOTE(aimeh @ Jun 20 2016, 03:28 PM) 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. ) New engine oil is golden brown colour. Old oil is blackish (they don't call it black oil for nothing). Should be easy to check by pulling up the dipstick.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. |

QUOTE(jujx @ Jul 11 2016, 11:27 AM) Ya I found ezy while searching online. Seems quite straight forward, did you try it? or anyone else has experience with it? I've tried it and the colour matching is very good. Getting the 4 bottle set isn't necessary, all you need is the basecoat. |
