I asked the mazda service rep whether it was normal when I went to do my 1k service and he said yes. I accelerate a lot and drive anywhere between 110~140kmh now without going any higher because my petrol just goes down like water down the hill. I drive up and down from klang to subang, that's about it. Should I insist to Mazda that this isn't normal? Is anyone else getting a reading close to mine? I don't think even with braking and acceleration as constantly as I do should have such a big difference.. I mean, everyone else is boasting 500~650km/h and I'm here struggling to even get 420km on one tank. Don't tell me everyone who got this car drives on AVG 90kmh!  rclxub.gif

I believe you should be seeing your FC improve as your car's mileage picks up. its pretty normal for new cars to be more thirsty.
But then again it depends on factors such as how heavy your right foot really is, and especially if you're frequently crawling in traffic. Even with i-stop enabled in heavy traffic i find that my fuel bars disappear quite quickly. idling / putting a 2 litre engine in stop and go situations would most definitely result in higher fuel consumption as opposed to a 1.5 liter engine.


Tried looking for the narnia switch in my car and couldn't find it. haha. I suspect that yours was installed together with the brake lock. hmm.gif


// has anyone had their extra sound effect from the suspension when driving in rain rectified? I'm still yet to hear from the SC i went to service about the parts availability (since 31 Dec'15). Which SC can replace the parts and what was the waiting period like?

Guys whenever I get home and I apply brakes and wanna shut down, I stop kicks in first. So I have to wake it up again before I can turn off the engine. How do u guys deal with it?

It's happened to me but only a handful of times. IIRC if I stop kicks in and you shift to park, you can power down the car by pushing the start/stop button once. Make sure that your foot is off the brake though.

Another way to prevent I stop from activating would be to apply just enough brake pedal pressure to hold the car stationary. I stop will only activate if there is sufficient brake pressure so there is sort of a balance point in between.
