That's great to hear.  I got a 2016 because I was concerned about the 2017 electronic handbrake reliability (and got discount hehe). Was regretting about GVC but now feel better 

Have to agree with you on the comfort and ease of use of EPB. Furthermore it saves space plus other clever stuff like auto hill brake, auto release, etc etc etc that make driving much much easier. When I test-drove cars that have them, wowwwww veli nice 

I'm just not convinced yet with the reliability. I have family members and older friends with upscale German cars that had the EPBs suddenly rosak out of the blue.

However this is a move in the right direction for Mazda IMO. In 5-10 years it will probably become a standard feature. Just I don't trust the tech yet for at least 5 years. Same with GVC. Wait for the public 'beta testers' first for them to make the tech more reliable and more importantly, cheaper hehe

Hopefully I'm wrong about the EPB reliability (this is Mazda we're talking about, reliable brand)...we'll see.

I thought the newer model got better sound insulation improving the nvh ?any feedback on this?

Lots of new Sales Exec nowadays are actually just order takers, and not the professional Car Sales exec.

I'm guessing in future, selling cars would be maybe like Air Asia. No Frills. Tick what you want for extra cost or Tick what you don't want for extra discounts.

true, but I am expecting at least they will say something like: Mr you can have a look around and please look for me if you have any question. 

I beg your pardon.. Civic beats M3 in what kind of tech? android auto and apple carplay? other than that nothing else that I can think of. haha.

looks like CKD high specs are more attractive for me.. thx alot~

Phone also can use do it without them ma.. Previously there is tweaks for to install Android Auto on MZD. Useless I would say, Google maps is still not that good compare to Waze. Endup I uninstall the android auto, place the phone on the phone holder, use as it.. lagi best...

To text or not to text while driving, it's all up to the driver. Even you have the android auto or carplay, one would still will plays the phone if he / she has the will to do it..
Honestly, if you're looking for a comfort, spacious ride, just go with the Civic.. The Mazda is only good for people who really appreciates the driving dynamic, the fun to drive. You will hate the tyre noise when speeding, the poorly insulated cabin will just always kena ejek by your passenger if they mean to compare with other car... 

And "why your car so small one~" hahaha...

oh by the way, go test drive the new Mazda with GVC.. Given the same course, same condition during test drive at Setia Alam, the difference in handling between the 3 and Civic really blows me away... 

Hi peeps! Just got my mazda 3 GL pre facelift last week.Fc is 8.5l/100km. Pretty good for a 2.0 city drive. However, My friend also owns a M3. He says the FC will improve after few thousand km. is it true? I laughed when i first heard it. 😅😅😅 sorry im a newbie..

Cukur our MY version is better than this

Price range?
Does it have any issue?

I find out 2015 is 2.0
Worry road tax haha

Any chance that somebody is thinking of parting with their Mazda 3 here? looking for a 2014 and above model....

Couldnt agree with ur statement 

Think its not about lazy to stepping the break or not  its the feature to make ppl more convinence

Just like why nowaday car from hand gear manual change to automatic transmmision? Is that why nowaday ppl lazy to press the clutch padel to change gear? 

Did u ever kena b4 let ppl kiss ur car because of owner forgot to switch to N , then playing phone and forgot to press hard on pedal brake, let the car slowly run and then kiss ppl rear bonnet when in traffic jam?
Then the auto head lamp switch on feature is that owner lazy just to trigger the head lamp panel to switch on light?

Hmmm...

Its all about safety feature,  in automobile world, lately those feature will be more and more standard , i think in future, all those assiat feature such as Lane correction , auto speed , auto parking, all those will be in standard for japanese car

No matter what car i drive, i never help each party or berat sebelah, i just focus on ur lazy to pressing brake statement, u are totally wrong because u never use and dunno how good is auto hold,  i just wish every car no matter toyota , honda, mazda, proton, even perodua have those feature, because thing never happen on u, u wont feel the paint
That the reason, ppl never use the feature will blame on how lazy is ppl, but they dunno those is assist u to make less mistake 
So what the fark aeroplane need to have so many sensor, boeing airbus keep create better auto pilot  even wanna make auto landing and auto depart , that all to avoid mistake from human and to improve accident happen,  isnt because pilot become more lazy and dunno how to handle the airplane

And you wont want something shit happen on the road u evey day back just because of minor accident , and need to traffic jam until 2 hour there

it is definitely a good deal if LED head lamp, ALH, GVC, EPB, coloured HUD, better NVH is not what you are looking for.

Mazda owners here too defensive already.

Anyone got their new Mazda 3 already? Wanna hear more before making the booking.
The coming up new CX-5 looks drool also.

I'm actually look on u to make some funny story more than we are trying to create funny story    , we discuss about safety feature , but u ask us balik kampung without answer anything 
Just like u are a sales person , u treat customer as "U suka u ambik la , u tak suka u balik la"
