haha
my dream car
mercedes 250 amg
but too expensive XD

haha quite agree on this
but i just saw their fb
last time they got promo sell mazda 3 for 60k?

this is the thing concern
does this mazda 3 use lot petrol
cause i got saga blm and 1993 honda civic

civic is more fuel saving then saga
i am driving that civic XD

I've gotten the catalogue from a Mazda dealer today haven't test driven the new GVC yet. Can anyone confirm that the car has lane keep assist where the steering steers automatically to keep the car in the lane?

I know there was LDW before where it only warns but having the steering assist seems to be something new.

Edit: apologies for the sideways photo

Believe it only nudges rather than actually keeping it in the lane automatically. This is what the SA told me during the last carnival

60k is the previous gen mazda 3, you can find it here http://www.mazdaanshin.com.my for the preowned mazda

you can opt for mazda 2, which is a cheaper alternative yet still good to drive around town, it is more fuel saving compare to mazda 3, and mazda 3 is more fuel saving compare to civic and saga

I did sent this to mazda customer service and asked, their answer is yes, it does come with lane keep assist above 60km/h, means it will assist to steer if you are going to depart from your lane.

the thing is this feature is not mentioned in the price list package and anywhere else, so it is still a question mark, let me test drive and update here or anyone else tested it then please enlighten us.

haha
i got check
mazda 3 they show all is 1.6
if 2.0 they sell 100k > <

mazda 2 feel behind seat really small
think just wait and see go for which car T T

The brochure didn't say it would steer, it mentioned nudges and audio alert.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

brochure written "A forward sensing camera detects lane markings and assists the steering to keep you in lane. The system also alerts you when it judges an unintended lane departure is imminent by vibrating the steering wheel or with an audible alarm. The system operates at speeds above approximately 60km/h.

-double posted-
anyway, customer service called me and confirmed steering will steer and nothing confirmed until I really experience it.

Is this 'Lane Departure Warning' and 'Lane Keeping Assist' really important? If you don't intend to fall asleep at the wheel why do you need them?

just in case, all these are active safety feature to enhance the safety of the car.

Personally I think it's just passive system helping out

A good and alert driver would probably never trigger the warning.

Yup, you are right.

I personally think it is very useful. I've had a loan car from my friend who has the Ford Ranger Wildtrak which comes with Active Cruise Control and Lane Assist, I've tested the functions quite deliberately going off the lane and the steering steers back into the lane. It's really a beautiful system to use on highways. Roads on modern countries raised
reflective lane markers which lane assist isn't needed, however in Malaysia don't spend money on these life saving things.

Both are very important especially on long drives. With tiredness and momentarily lapse in concentration the car can help steer back into lane can help prevent accidents, it happens even to the best of us. No one intends to fall asleep behind the wheel, but if it does happen this will help.

yes, basically with lane keep assist and active cruise control, it is already 'semi autonomous' to me.
the car able to keep in the lane and keep a distance from the car in front, very useful and helpful for long distance highway drive.

8xk is ur maximum budget that you could stretch up?
mazda now has extended the warranty to 5 years (correct me if i am wrong) without paying single sen to the SC, drive in and out that is all.
what you need to take in to account are insurance+road tax and also wear and tear.
ensure you add in all for monthly payment

you mean i-active sense? i-stop just a feature that temporary stop the engine when the car was idling, this is for fuel saver. now even bezza equipped with such feature

Sounds like haven't had to drive consistently with such features.. Let me ask.. Do you require airbags or even an airbag? Cuz a good and alert driver would never trigger their deployment.

ACC, LDW & LKA are "active" systems and the idea is that they assist and not drive the car entirely.. Guess what, I've never been in an accident where my airbags deployed, however, I have been in slight bumper to bumper action and had to repair/repaint. Active safety systems such as the above and or the likes of SCBS and SBS will assist in preventing those rare times where someone accidentally or purposely breaks hard in front of you. Alternatively, say you have to apply the brakes in an emergency and the car behind you gets stopped by these systems cuz the car reacts faster than the driver of the vehicle. Thereby saving both car drivers some headache.. That's why they are important.

haha
i saw some car also got show free warranty
but read service car need pay.
mazda not cheap > <


i may be downgrade to city only T T

Nah, "free" service package is only up till 3 years or 60km... Battery is for 1 year or 20km. Rest of the warranty is up to 5 years or 100km.

that is a great deal too, last time the car only come with 3 years or 60K, now extended up to 5 years or 100k. at least peach of mind within the period of time.
