How much did you pay to get those features?

Hi, Just booked a Mazda 3 GL Specs. MY SA told me that tinting in somewhere else might void the warranty, how true is that?

Being offered a 800 ringgit rebate for tinting regardless on brand selected( Mazda Vendor)
Btw I'm purchased direct from Bermaz Auto

Bro, I got my GL specs for 4.5k cash discount with a lucky draw chance (minimum RM500 guarantee).
Mine was in Puchong, u can Pm me for SA number if you need it

4.5K discount was with fabric seats or leather seats?

If tinting outside will void warranty I think 90% of owners have forfeited their warranty already. Compare prices outside without voucher and see if it is worth it. Some shops will give you list price with voucher which is more expensive than without voucher.

Fabric seats

this is not shitty honda brand la, tint wont void warranty, and no one has problem with power window

you can even mod your car, SA wont make noise unless you want to claim warranty, but try not to go HQ to service your car if your car is heavily mod

Driven additional 5000km, so time for my fuel system cleaning time by using better type of petrol. Since I tried Shell V Power Racing before, this time i go for Petron RON100.

Fuh...You guys/girls should really give the Petron RON100 a try, the engine response is better than what Shell V Power Racing can offer. Revving to 3000rpm feels more effortless and beyond that rev range, the exhaust have a different lower tone growl.

Butt feel like acceleration improved by at least 0.5 seconds....

Wallet feel ouch though....RM120+ for 45L

RM120

so far i never pump more than ron95 for my m3, and i dont bother about saving fuel most of the time i just floor the pedal, so much fun to drive in this car

Well, since i don't do that all the time, just my routine of 2 tankful of good petrol as a general fuel system cleaning every 5000km as these higher grade petrol has better additives on it.

Just try for the fun of it for once la...the engine response is noticeably different, really better than Shell V Power Racing

The Skyactiv engines really knows when good stuff being fed

:droll: ... will give one try for it. just for the fun

Wanna to ask if the additional RM 15K worth every penny to buy the Hi Spec instead of Mid spec M3 and why?

Yes, please do it after draining your fuel tank

Poison you

you get more safety features, walk away lock, LED tailight and a 18" rims

hi spec is a sedan, mid spec is hatchback

all petron got RON100 now? maybe i will try 97 next time

Hi Spec Sedan and HB same price but few electronic gadget missing (Auto Windshield Wipers/Active Driving Display/Auto Cruise/Electronic Adjustable Seat/Fabric Seats and Upholstery/HBC/SCBS/RVM/LDWS) for HB version. While mid Spec or GL is RM 15K less.

Are they worth the extra penny?

At my area, the 3 Petron stations on the way that i usually use have RON100, 1 of them actually have all (95, 97 and 100).

HB is not worth it. You are paying hi spec price for mid spec.

Hi spec is worth the RM15K especially if you like big rims. If not the GL is the same engine and body and give you the same driving pleasure minus the gadgets and big rims.

In short if you have the budget go for HS. If not the GL is still a very good car.

Noted with thanks. Looking at year end sales for more discount then.

Well basically you will get the same car chasis, same car engine. Main safety feature(air bag etc..) are all included.
By now I guess you should know what is the feature that lack on GL example lane departure, city smart brake..etc

If you are an outlook oriented person, note that HS come with DRL and LED tail light ( + different lighting system used on HS and GL). HS come with 18" RIM which increase your performance while increase your overall road noise.

I would say, if your budget is enough, just get it.

Worthwhile features - HID headlights, auto cruise, smart city brake, blind spot monitoring, adaptive headlights, keyless entry, auto dimming mirror

Not so important - auto wiper, auto headlights on, auto climate control, auto high beam control, power adjustable seats, lane departure warning, DRL, LED tail lights, better looking control knobs, navigation, paddle shifts

Driver preference - 18" rims and Toyo performance tyres instead of 16" rims and Toyo tyres.

Common features - leather seats, 6 airbags, reverse camera, bluetooth telephony, infotainment display, push start, ABS, EDB, BA, DSC

Well, you decide whether it is worth RM15K or not.

My personal view:
