hi, new member signing in. got mine yesterday. GL spec. Alu-titanium.
Setia Alam - highly recommended (best discount so far)

Some info to share.
- if you touch any wiring (auto fold, etc..): warranty void
- any s/w tweak on the infotainment: warranty void
- front/rear light fogging: can claim warranty

Only if they can prove the problem came from the wiring/tweak. They can't void your warranty for changing your mazda wallpaper for engine failure, that just doesn't make sense. If you did autofold and something went wrong, remove autofold OBD and you're good. I'm not saying that it's foolproof, but there are technicalities you can argue on. If not, why make OBD ports? Mazda full spec also don't have autofold for me to purchase even if I was willing to pay damn jacked up prices. Technically if you bring your car for tinting and they have to remove your doors also can say warranty void because our doors are connected to wires etc etc.

cosmetic upgrades are ok according to them...but i guess if they wan to void your warranty they have plenty of other excuses to do that. In case (touch wood) you need to send it back for warranty, just to be safe, revert it back to original.

Updates on the drive:
So far so good. need to rev higher for more power, any below 2.5Krpm at lower speed not very powerful, once the speed picks up that's where the power kicks in. but steering kind of light. very responsive but maybe cause i am not used to the light & responsive steering, at highway straight road tends to easily move about.

How do you guys keep the rpm below 3k, mine kept wanting to rev higher...screw it, since engine break in is not required for this car....i just tekan only and see what the FC later. I was told by a few car guys to sometimes step on it (not more than 6k rpm though for the first 1k) so that the system will learn and doesn't limit your car performance later on (kind of proven by one my fren who both him and his dad owns the car model, one feels more sluggish).

NVH is definitely on the high side. But the sound system is pretty good. crisp clear sound.
No sound from the lower arm bushing so far but i think i heard the wind screen clicking sound. Heard it when turning a corner.

I am using llumar Crystal6 tint, 1st day after parking for 8 hrs in the hot sun yesterday. seems not too good the heat rejection. Maybe cause yesterday was exceptionally hot and i kind of went home at the hottest time 4pm...

Now hunting for my Bodykit. most important is to get the ducktail spoiler & door visor installed. any recommendations? pls PM me.
For the side and front lip...still considering whether to get it the same color as my car (Alu-T) or black.

Yeah my first fuel-up so I didn't want to cut things too close. Would be comfortable leaving it to the last bar now.

I wouldn't say it's not accurate but rather conservative to avoid people running out of gas on the road. My old City had 8 litres in the tank when the lights come on. Hmm.... so in both the Mazda 3 and City, the gas light comes on at about 20% capacity.

The Mazda guy told me there is still 2L of fuel (bout 20km) when the range estimator shows 0km.
