if 130k+ is very close to civic price, ppl in malaysia will go for civic coz more room inside, big boot and better RV.

Not just Mazda la, you'll find most car's original tires are come in odd size.. why? Fuel economy ma... and also if those who die die also want to look for the original size, what to do? pay more la...

Previously my bro's city tires also with odd size punya, if i recall correctly, it was 185/55/16. Not many choices out there..

Anyway, the Mazda 18" you can replace with 225/45/18, it's a more common size and lots of options available in the market. Refer to earlier post, we have few pricing on tires too..

Mazda 3 is a good car, my heart is actually go for mazda 3 but my brain telling me civic is more worth , so in malaysia, ppl always get worth one , bo bian T_T

increase the width from 215 to 225 will increase tyre noise and increase fuel consumption? sorry for noob question.
but i think won't be significant..

features wise definitely mazda 3 more worth it compares to civic.
civic win on the space only.

new mazda launch... is a good buy?

The price is out. The hatch now has all the sedan features just with higher price tag? Now that's convincing compare to previous one price the same but remove some feature.

But I already book for civic tc haha

May I know if Mazda3 2016 Meteor Grey is a metallic or solid color??

I read that Mazda3 2017 need to pay few hundreds more for metallic .. I'm confuse coz thought solid is white.. thx

Mazda 3 with G-Vectoring Launched !!!

test drive unit for m3 gvc available dy??

Quite disappointed as some features missing as compared to Thailand M3. And why lah still not provide dual zone climate control?

Seems like the price has increased further. What was the old car price?

Not only that. Battery lagi expensive. Due to start stop m3 uses q85 bat if not mistaken and each cost at least Rm 700. This bat lasted only slightly more than a year.
Sometime it keeps me wandering the purpose of hving istop when u ended paying more than the fuel you can save.

No soul red?

that can be switched off right?
not sure if 3 yrs free maintenance covers battery or not.

It is now~

You mentioned previously that the new Mazda 3 comes with radar cruise control (active) but does not seem to be mentioned in the specifications above.

Does it come with it or not? Please let us know thanks!

Not noticing the increase of FC. same figure achieved as before.
Tyre noise is depends on the tire of your choice.. Some has harder compound ofcoz will create more noise..

MG is metallic color..
only the White is SOLID WHITE.

Before you keep spreading the battery cost at least RM 700, well, here are some info for you. Varta Q85 start-stop battery only cost RM 477 (inclusive of 6% GST @April), ATLAST Q85 also less than RM 500.. SC ofcoz more expensive, they're giving Delkor and well, SC's price, never is the cheap one.

Now there are alot options in the market, do some research and you'll always find it is still within the acceptable zone. Compares to conventional normal battery, now cost how much? 220? 280? And why the start stop battery is much more expensive? Battery is wear and tear part too, not all of us lasted for SLIGHTLY MORE THAN A YEAR, at least mine good for 1 yr and 5 months..

Not sure the warranty policy on the new model.

But for the 1st gen Skyactiv Mazda3, battery warranty term has now changed to 1 year or 20k km, whichever comes first.
Free maintenance, basically is on servicing only.. Take note, this car is come with kruk kruk and ngek ngek sound package as well. hahaha

that's the lower arm issue?
every car has it or depend on the driver driving behavior?
