for official TT we only allow m3 but if you know anyone driving m3 skyactiv then can tumpang them and join together

normal small TT you can join us together and ma friends, i think they wont mind it

we dont have connection for that and the coordination work needed is quite difficult to make it happen

1. normal wear and tear parts similar to other cars out there
2. this is not premium japan car, not even camry, it is just a bigger car, your trusted workshop will be able to do normal servicing and parts replacement
3. maintenance cost is like other JDM C segment car, but we need to pay more for a bigger capacity battery though
4. if you got join mazda club then some of the members can help out with that, your workshop might be able to source those parts for you or you can pay more by changing the parts in sc after warranty over, for battery our club has a panel workshop that can get slightly cheaper price

what gives the worst nightmare if those electronics and sensor failure which might cost a lot more to replace, but so far i dont see any major case for m3 on this

earliest batch of m3 is available from 2014, so at most also 3 years, so far no member have reported sensor failure or common failure by large number except for the lower arm bush and bump stopper at the suspension making knocking noisy

but when the system detect battery is in low power, some of the module will stopped working, and will report error on the screen, but after changed battery then problem solved

previous model of m3 have problem with o2 sensor that cause the check engine light appear, but skyactiv and the older model is totally different platform and design from the previous model

the SA didnt tell you about the ETA when you book the car?

when i drive with full load i can feel the engine is starting to stress out a bit already, it will keep the lower gear longer to pick up the speed, even acceleration is not that good anymore

but still acceptable since we are not using forced induction and not like i'm going full load every time

welcome to the club, try to be active in the group and make more friends

you can also join our whatsapp group, just pm admin to add you in

stability i would say is the best among the segment, very precise and immediate response, stick to the road very well and stable all the way to its top speed, of course not as good as those with assist like torque vectoring, active suspension and etc

performance wise, is quite good for NA car, fuel savings on daily drive and has the performance + handling for spirited driving

after you get your car you can join us at m3sa fb group and whatsapp group chat for more discussion

but i feel like gvc and non-gvc not much different in term of handling, i cant really feed the effect of gvc though, but that's just my personal opinion

nevertheless, it is a good car to drive around town, love the driving experience so much and never get bored with the car design, mazda really did a great job on this

but too bad bermaz increases the price of m3 make losing the competition edge to their competitors

nowadays a lot of C segment car also going turbo charged, m3 performance also cant compare with them already, but handling i guess still the better one

maybe really subtle difference, cant really know whether it works unless go and film the passenger reaction and put it side by side like the promotion video

NA = naturally aspirated, means non turbocharged or supercharged

no panic button, if you want to test how the alarm sounds like can do like what peace_lover suggest, or you can lower the window, get out of the car and lock the door then open the door from inside through the opened window

alarm sound is just horn like saga alarm if i remember correctly, i heard it once when i jump start my m3 due to flat battery

it is much cheaper to buy those from taobao even after include shipping, i also buy those from taobao myself and get workshop to install it at a small fees

those that is not electronic i just DIY, i even DIY install my interior LED and foglight

let's just wait and see what kind of handling it will be for Skyactiv X, for now we can just assume, who knows it really has better handling even though the history proved otherwise

it can last around 30k mileage depends on how and where you drive

other than that you can try soundproofing, but be prepare to pay a large sum for it, the noise for city drive still okay for me, just that on highway that time is very noisy due to the materials used to built the road

remember to join our m3 Skyactiv club

for m3sa just answer the question correctly then pm the admin should be fine

i also have this issue, it only happen to me at night when i i'm travelling more than 110km/h and it only light up on the left side, every few second the RVM light will light up and off again

and sc cant check for this issue since they cant reproduce it and the car didn't throw any error codes, the said they take out side side mirror and clean the sensor, so far havent got the chance to try it yet

just keep complain every service, say last time already check but still the same

but dont waste too much time on this thing, sensors is not always accurate

same like other C segment japanese car, we dont have turbo charged engine so there is one less thing to worry about

dont try to do it yourself, if you spoil the sensor then warranty wont cover it

just complain to sc and let them do their work, if problem still persist then complain again, take it to outside workshop might void your warranty

you can swap with other owners who looking to upgrade to 18" or get your SA to help you with that, if they are helpful enough

high spec more worth it, the additional safety feature is very useful

even our club also not many GVC, i think there will be more GVC in PJ and damansara area

do join our club for more activities, you can really see some nice mod by our members
