Guys, am new here. Gonna own Mazda 3 soon, loan was approved but really in dilemma wether to choose hatchback or sedan. Hatchback manufactured in 2015 and 2016 instead. Any comment?

I picked the hatchback with leather seats, for a sportier look. Don't mind losing the iActivesense features and digital speedometer / heads up display. More technology sometimes cause more headache icon_rolleyes.gif

Currently only CBU, but who knows in future.

CKD Soul Red as an option

Too time-consuming to paint at CKD Kulim plant due to four-coat system.. But, who knows brows.gif

Yup just press harder on the brakes. Or put to neutral.

If you go to the Fuel economy monitor, the page with the engine, the text box at the bottom will tell you what to do.

Too much technology also pening kepala rclxub.gif

It seems to do this when I stop my car and it's letting you know that istop is about to be initiated. I try to make it a point to turn off istop every time I drive because it only stops for a few seconds during the day - macam no point  tongue.gif

Just found out that if it blinks, you jst need to step the brake harder in order to activate I-stop.. Yeah, whatever mega_shok.gif laugh.gif

Hi all, firstly, sorry if wrong topic to post under.

Was checking out m3 and have some question hoping members here can help enlighten.

1. I'm driving a potong (proton gen2) currently. Is the noise (wind blockage & the kruk sound when going over speed bump and cornering) as bad as potong or negligible if comparatively speaking?
I drove a neo before. Mazda definitely better, although its NVH is not as good as compared to Toyota. I also own an Altis

2. What's the differences between the newer model's SkyActive vs older model? (I was looking at second hand version, maybe 2011 or 2012 models)
Should wiki this. It claims better fuel efficiency.

3. What's the rough maintenance and upkeep is m3 looking at? I heard that m6 is high on maintenance (normal and major service).
Buy a brand new one, you get 3-years / 60,000km free maintenance. No need pening kepala for at least 3 years. And I was shown the service charge table by salesperson for M3. Not that high lahhh

Thanks

Thanks for the updates, guys.

to be honest, new car = 100-120k, used car 50k .. that the main reason..  cry.gif .. but still thinking..
Likewise, I've tried google the differences but cant find. maybe my googling skill sux.. lol
also, what does NVH stand for?

Thanks
*
If you are going for 2nd hand, why don't you check at mudah. There are 2nd hand M3 CBU going for 90k++

Used M3 CBU

M3 CKD 2nd

M3 CKD HB 2nd

Could you share some of the extra features? Because I'm not aware of them..
*
When compared with CBU sedan,

(+)CKD sedan High Spec
I-ActivSense safety technology (High Beam Control, Smart City Brake System, Rear Vehicle Monitoring & Lane Departure Warning)
Power-adjustable driver's seat
Auto wipers
Cruise control
Auto dimming rear-view mirror
Digital speedometer with head-up display
Reverse camera

(-)CKD sedan High Spec
Sunroof
i-Eloop regenerative braking system

In short, you get more with CKD sedan at lower price. CKD hatchback spec is more like CBU sedan minus sunroof & i-Eloop

Ya.
During traffic jam, I-Stop is activated, my engine is off.
After I press the pedal, the engine will start, during engine starting I notice that my engine is very shaky make whole car shaky.

Is this normal?  cool2.gif

Yes, this is normal. I have a M3, Cx-3 & M2. Semua sama.

As long as the battery reactivate and the car can move, don't worry nod.gif

Some light reading on i-Stop - i-Stop 101

would it be a good idea to get it in year end? m(perhaps they will dump in more rebates to clear stock?)

thanks smile.gif

There is still 2015 models for HS at some showroom.. Rebate goes up to 6k.. Better buy now coz i heard price might get higher as yen is currently appreciating
