QUOTE(blackchides @ Apr 19 2016, 02:38 PM) Deciding between Mazda3 and the new civic. Im deciding on new civic and M3 too.. only interested with 1.5 Turbo. but heard the price near to 140k. if is true then is too expensive. M3 still a better choice. hopefully actual is below 130k.. hahaIs this rattling noise thing a common issue with the M3 CKDs?  |

QUOTE(Ginny88 @ Jun 9 2016, 11:51 AM) Just launched Civic 1.8S OTR price is RM114,800, more than Mazda 3 GL. Definitely M3 still a better buy and you are getting a 2.0L car. Civic 1.8 OTR is RM 113,800. Considering the specs given, i think is matching the M3 GL in terms of value.Despite of 1.8, but it comes with DRL, Remote Engine start, Walk Away Auto Lock, Smart Entry, Paddle Shift, Cruse Control, Full Color LCD Meter, Rear Aircond, 8 Ways Power seat, 520 Lit Boot, Apple/Android Mirror Link, Auto Brake Hold which not available in M3 GL. I believe M3 handling still slightly better than New Civic, but new civic has much better space, comfort & better NVH. Civic more for family, M3 more for zoom zoom single driver.. lol. Lets the war begin! M3 GL vs 1.8, M3 HS vs 1.5 Turbo..  |

QUOTE(audio technica @ Jun 13 2016, 12:34 PM) main problem with seaweed...no foldable seats....test driven it quite boring...no turbo feel only benefit is very cheap roadtax like proton wira....but interior feels cheap like city.....mazda 3 highspec for me...safety spec and better discount... New Civic interior cheap like city? sure bo? I think u look at old model. lol. for me is premium with all soft touch even the rear door panel is soft touch with leather. door is solid & heavy. Way better than the old civic. Quality & interior is as premium as M3. Yes the turbo wont feel like VW turbo but definately more powerful than Mazda 3 especially city drive with 220nm from 1700-5500rpm. Handling i can say Mazda 3 is slightly better and more solid. Civic rank 2nd among all japanese C segment. Civic handling and steering feel quite good also. no seaweed lar.. M3 better safety with SCBS, RVM, LDWS. Civic with remote engine start, rear aircond, LCD meter. Offcourse Civic is quieter, better NVH, spacious interior & 520Lit boot space. Comparison between 1.5 turbo vs 2.0 skyactive https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pNz-TncFi0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0A99Gjt-I8 Both M3 & civic are equally good. The rest like slyphy, altis, cerato, elantra etc 2nd grade. |

QUOTE(amduser @ Jun 13 2016, 01:35 PM) haha....have to test drive both car side by side to test which one is better ma yes 10nm diff but M3 max 210nm at 4000rpm , the turbo 1.5 220nm available from 1700 rpm all the way to 5500 rpm. Thats the diff of low end turbo torque vs NA engine. city drive usually 1500-2500rpm  maybe he talking about the 1.8L variant? i heard the interior is different between 1.8L and 1.5L seaweed got 10nm more torque, city drive should be more or less the same consider that m3 being lighter if i'm not mistaken but with the help of turbo if really make high speed acceleration easier compare to NA waiting for someone to do a drag test and handling test between this 2 cars then only will know, i wanna go for test drive but request for test drive need to book the time slot is it? cannot just walk in i guess~ Yes test drive available for walk in but have to queue unless no ppl |
