Wash from the top down...

I spray down the whole car first. Then using 'wash n shine', I wash the roof, rinse; the front and rear screens, rinse; then the sides/windows down to the door handles, rinse; then bonnet, rinse; then boot, rinse; then using another washcloth, wash the sides from the door handles down...working round the car in 'layers'......use another washcloth for the rims....

Wash the washcloth thoroughly before starting on the next 'layer'. That way you minimise any sand particles that will scratch the paint...

Use same strategy for drying.....

Just my way of doing things...

Do you wear rings?

1. no idea
2. no idea
3. same same
4. according to fuel trip mine is around 550+ per tank, but this is my 2nd tank now, will calculate it manually when i refill next time
go taobao buy better, probably cant get the same design but it is much cheaper and more choice

i like the stock floor matt of m3, can hide dust easily, good for people who dont always clean the car interior

must use microfiber cloth and apply almost zero pressure when wiping, also need to make sure there is shampoo on the area you wipe as it act as a lubricant to prevent dust scratching the car body
found this bodykit in taobao today, it got expose the dual exhaust

sporty yet not very high profile

i wonder how the auto high beam works, i activate the auto high beam and the dashboard light up already, but when i'm driving at a place that got no car nearby and very dark area, but the high beam doesn't turn on, is it only work at certain speed?

now only i realized m3 can do 0-100km/h in 7.8s, according to mazda 3 wiki

Is this your car? Mind letting me know where you did it and how much?

Any member here white car with Bodykit?? Can share ur beloved car photo here like MissHanz...

Seriously without the door lock/unlock switch really inconvenient.

Just floor the pedal, wouldnt even realise you reached 160.... pushed the car to 210 as max so far, just get ready to smell strong burning scent in cabin when you do that lol...

no problem with braking power, it is very consistent, only the brake pedal press and depress that time doesn't feel smooth, yes i tested them on smooth road
i'm okay with m3 interior since i'm moving from a smaller car (1st gen vios facelift), maybe the rear passenger search is a bit cramp, my seating position is usually closer to steering, so if the passenger is not overweight then he/she should have no problem fitting in rear passenger seat

what i dont like about m3 interior is the lack of compartment, the cup holder is not at a comfortable position for me to take my bottle while i'm driving

i sat on passat before, the sudden acceleration and DSG shifting speed is amazing, but after so many negative reviews for their gearbox failure, i can say it is a risk to get VW with DSG gearbox, if you wanna get a VW you might want to ask the SA to reserve a nice parking spot for you in SC there

Passat is RM116,000 with OTR at abt RM120,000. Selling fast though...the VW showrooms were packed. According to the salesperson, there's about 1000 units nationwide and since the promo started last week, 600 units have been taken up.

i start to wonder if the i-stop really contribute a lot in fuel savings, let's say in a whole trip my idle time is 5 mins and i-stop is 2 mins, i only managed to saved like 1-2km according to the display from CMU

now this is my 2nd tank and the total mileage saved from i-stop is merely 8km, but the battery that support start-stop function cost around RM600 as compare to normal maintenance-free battery that only cost around RM400 given the same capacity without start-stop support

what you all think? if next time you change the battery will you still use back battery with start-stop support?

Just booked a M3 High Spec from Bro Lucifal. Was thinking of getting meteor grey until I stepped into his showroom saw a blue reflex unit. Now deciding between these colors 😂

May I know what type of battery Mazda 3 is using? Q-85? If it is the same as Mazda 2, I managed to find a company which sell Q-85 battery at half the price quoted by SC. Need to check whether it is maintenance free or not. My SC tells me stock battery is under the 3 years / 100,000km warranty and can change only once throughout. Anyone can reconfirm this statement?

My "walk-away-auto-lock" doesnt seem to work, wondering if this is available in GL model. I do have the option to set it to 30s though.

no complain here, that's what high spec means

I just need to make sure i lock my car every single time

I also have the same problem. Sometimes have to press lock twice just to make sure.

But I heard if you install auto brake/gear lock and side folding mirror the shop can add a buzzer to make a sound when you lock.
