Just saw a post regarding the mirror link of android phone to m3 infotainment system. Give it a try and finally it works like a charm without modify anything at all, now i can use the waze on the bigger display!

Hi to all Mazda owner

I'm new to this thread, and currently i am interest to purchase a new car. i'm aiming at Mazda 3 GVC high spec & Honda civic turbo. i understand that civic is better in term of rear passenger space, but this is not really bother me that much, since i drive with my partner most of the time. My preference slightly slanted toward the new mazda 3 GVC.

My biggest concern with mazda 3 gvc as i heard from many youtube reviewer is the road noise. I heard that this new facelifted mazda 3 NVH is improved? Can anyone confirm that compare to pre-facelift version.

Can anyone provide me the sound level dB at 120 km/h speed. (Pre-facelift version also TQ  ) and how's new honda civic sound dB at 120km/h also. Thx a lot in advance.

1 last question, can i improve the NVH of mazda 3 by purchasing a comfort tire? or is there any after market sound insulation modification? will this void my warrantly by installing additional sound insulation?

Sorry for all this noob question.

the new gvc model is there any mirrorlink in the player?

That is really unfortunate. This is currently one of the most annoying thing with the M3 at the moment haha. Only shortcut I've tried is pushing next and previous and it will hopefully between the favourite stations. Even my previous Exora can show station name what is this Mazdaaaaa.

Wah so complicated. Will try to remember lock the door manually then

can ask this shop see whether they got or not https://www.facebook.com/BigBatterySdnBhd/

How much you bought?

Better to just go to tyre shop and get it. At least inclusive of workmanship.

What tyre you looking for? I'm sure the members here have lubang

Any recommendation to replace our Mazda 3 GL tyre which is a Toyo size which is not available in the shops? I find the original Toyo tyre very lasting. Usually I replace tyres every 2 years. Now 2 years have passed and my tyres look like it can still last another year. Amazing!

haven't got chance to test it out.. have to drive at night on highway to see the real effect..

I think buyers can sue Bermaz for that brochure. It says "Lane Keep Assist System" is included but it isn't provided for the GVC Mazda 3.

Btw, the brochure doesn't say SBS is included but SCBS is included.

This is really disappointing.. I thought the SCBS for our GVC model is updated like Australia GVC to be able to operates up to 80km/h but it is AGAIN mistake on the brochure! same case as the lane keep assist!

   

For those who booked M3 Highspec , there's no stock as production is only around 20-40units a month till next year 2018.

Its to get ready for CX-5 ALL NEW coming soon, and also preparation for the new colors palette for M3 next year.

That's up to Mazda to decide. And believe me, none of us here in Malaysia have any influence what Mazda Japan decides.

So far, what we know is that they have a 2.5L Turbo Petrol & 2.2L Turbo Diesel SkyActive.

Firstly, there's a 2.5L turbo in the CX9, so I guess the possibility, however minute, is there for them to put it in the 3 or CX5.

Secondly, I'm a big NA fan, so I'm pleased to see Mazda continue to develop sans turbocharging (even though everyone and their mothers are shoving a turbo down their tiny <2L engines).
I do not agree with the sentiment that turbo power makes a car fun to drive - I've always appreciated the linear pull of a good NA engine.

So I recently got a Subaru with a CVT. This is my first time owning a CVT, but I've previously rented a Mitsu ASX with CVT and I wasn't impressed with it - it felt lethargic, it droned and very uninspired as a whole.

But with the Subaru - it's a 3.6L unit with bundles of torque - it felt smooth and effortless.
The revs were happy to stay low while the car still pulled.
It made the whole notion of changing gears feel antiquated - no more jerky gearshifts.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is - don't diss it until you've tried it
