QUOTE(luciuswks @ Jun 30 2016, 10:58 PM) Did my vkool elite tinted today and just realize my gps is not working. Any1 have any solution? Am going to ask the tinted shop tomorrow. TT So sad. Only the gps? What about smart tag? GPS is usually less problematic than smart tag. Did they claim these signals can get through before you tint? One solution is to cut a credit card size hole in the tinting but this is the last resort.

QUOTE(wkc5657 @ Jul 3 2016, 09:58 PM) Unlikely that there will be more rebates unless you can still find any 2015 car sitting around. Due to UK exiting the european union, the currency markets are in havoc and the japanese yen has been appreciating against all currencies. All major japanese brands have raised prices since the last round of RM depreciation, if they can still maintain price, consider it a bonus. There won't be much other than around RM1000 rebate + normal tint. You can get more than that, another bonus for you. More likely facelift will launch 1 year from now. Our timing is usually at least 6 months later than international markets. If the economy goes bad, it will delay longer as the pre facelift CKD kits can't be consumed as cars aren't selling in showroom. A good example will be the Peugeot 208, facelift with new gearbox has been launched more than 1 year ago, but our market still stuck with the pre facelift. That car was actually pretty peppy, i test driven it and found the engine responding well (probably due to light weight), better NVH against the Mazda3, quite nice to move around town, just that i don't like the old school 4 speed gearbox. I was actually thinking of getting the facelift due to the better gearbox, but sick of waiting. Hence i looked elsewhere  It's fortunate you didn't buy the Pug 208 because reliability is really meh. A good drive can't compensate for driving in fear of breakdowns.

QUOTE(Monkey King @ Jul 3 2016, 06:58 PM) guys...thinking to join the M3 club... still undecided between the GL and HS. would it be a good idea to get it in year end? m(perhaps they will dump in more rebates to clear stock?) thanks  It depends whether you need the extras and features of HS. Some of the features like power seat adjustment, lane departure warning, auto rain sensing wipers and auto headlights I consider of limited value but there are some really useful ones like Smart City Brake, Blind Spot Monitoring and HID headlights. If you are not into 18" rims then this may influence your choice. overall I would say the extra rm15K is worth it but basically it's the same engine and body for GL and HS.

QUOTE(Revamperz @ Jul 5 2016, 05:22 PM) i think mazda got in house repair and paint shop also it might be pricier then outside but should be no worries in color code/matching. n also. Selamat Hari Raya all! be safe vroooming this festive season! Nowadays the better shops use colour matching by computer to mix the paint. White should be an easy colour to match. No worries about doing it outside. They can also do partial spray instead of spraying the whole panel. If the scratches are at the bottom and not very noticeable another option is to just leave it.

QUOTE(dracula99 @ Jul 6 2016, 08:35 AM) Alright I not mean to compare both two different engine... Mayb I ask the other way round If i dun have budget for m3 HS, should I go for M3 GL or it is more worthy to get madza 2 instead?? Definitely go for the Mz3 GL. It's a bigger and better car than the Mz2 with a more powerful engine. This is C-segment vs. B-segment. This is like choosing between Honda City and Civic. Or Vios and Altis. Unless budget is the limiting factor the choice is clear. Between the Mz3 GL and the Mz2 it is definitely more worth it to get the Mz3 GL. This post has been edited by Ginny88: Jul 6 2016, 09:49 AM

QUOTE(dororo @ Jul 9 2016, 09:25 PM) Dear all M3 users, how much is the fuel consumption of 2.0l Skyactiv engine? Can be from 5.5L/100km for pure highway to 10L/100km for pure city driving. For mixed driving you should be able to get 8L/100km or less.

QUOTE(edison5049 @ Jul 11 2016, 12:54 AM) hello...anybody know how do i test the car alarm? i have no idea how mazda 3 alarm sounds like... To test your car alarm wind down the driver side window and lock your car as usual. Then with the key somewhere else open the door by reaching your hand through the window. The alarm should go off using the horn as the siren. Not much to attract attention I would say.

QUOTE(NeoCPS @ Jul 11 2016, 10:03 AM) any pic and how you get it? You can get accessories for Mazda 3 here. Try not to buy any accessories from your SA. It is very expensive as their first priority is $$$.
