Thanks for the compliments.

I'm still on the OEM battery, approaching 20 months.

When this unit dies, i'm changing it to AGM batteries for peace of mind, hopefully till the 10th year of car ownership.

2 years quite good

And why so quiet today..

Finally booked my Mazda 3 Hopefully won't get a lemon car.

Stop thinking about lemon cars. You may get what you are trying to avoid because your mind is so focused on it.

Anyway, nobody in this forum got a lemon car so I don't think you will be the first.

hahahaha. it's the last car they have and it's the display unit. god knows have many people have played with it. phew that's good to know.

What's the discount they gave you?

3 days holiday for KL and some other states, maybe most of us are travelling, i just back from JB, kena 1 saman while going to JB, dont speed after Muar

if you managed to get a lemon car, do share with us your experience, because we only have the common issue like lower arm bush sound, and premature battery failure, some of us got dashboard rattling sound randomly

>_< urghh.... had a long drive today through some rough roads (MRR2)
The road noise is really super noisy, can barely hear what the rear passenger is talking about.


What is the best solution to this?

Anyone went AEtuned http://www.aetuned.com/mazda.html to have your car tune before? By the way this car has bluetooth for music playback right? Planning to get a gvc edition..

Change to quieter tyres.

Very little can be done to eke out more power and torque from the Skyactiv engine due to the high compression ratio. I've been following overseas tuning projects and they aren't getting much either.

Yes it has bluetooth for music playback from your phone and telephony and USB playback.

Hi guys, I'm planning to get a used 2013 Mazda 3 Hatchback so I have couple of questions.

1. The car is currently at 73000KM, how much would my service cost in the future?

2. Is the any common problems that I should watch out for?

for those with mazda 3 without gvc, anyone try the facelifted? Really huge different for the road noise and gvc? Thinking of getting one.

Hi all, Mazda 3 2017 High Spec (non gvc) owner here. Cheers!!!

Thinking of letting go the 1 month old original 18 inches wheels with tires as im gonna change to 17 inch wheels. Currently clocked at 1300++ km and is still going.

Do offer me your price ya!!!

check your tyre pressure, 35psi front and back is good for comfort, usually i put 38psi front and 35psi at rear

it help a little but the road noise is still there, unless you go for soundproofing or comfort tyre

has the GVC model arrived already? Even the official website is still showing the non GVC version
