2016 is the one without GVC? by right should have more discount because it is an older model, i know some member got discount more than 7k, forget is GL or high spec

I got 5k off

I’m in need of thermostat and hoses for my 2011 Mazda 3 2.0, can guide me which shop to buy from?

Just got my Mazda 3 GVC high spec today. Overall first day experience, loving it so far. but for me there is 1 very stupid issue, the door wont auto-lock even after start driving? and the door wont automatically open back when i off engine?

Hi, anyone test drove the new cx5? how is the handling compare to M3 gvc? saw youtube moose test M3 gvc 76km and new cx5 is 77km.

Malaysia version regardless what brand also always missing features compare to other country, a few hundreds features being cut to compensate the high tax? I am not sure.

start stop compatible battery was quoted rm549 at mazda sc

any other option out there? 1st time need to pay for one use 2 biji edy both under waranty

I think the quoted price is reasonable if Mazda SC is giving you Delkor 115D23L. This is the replacement model for stock 85D23L after so many problems of premature dead found in the field since 2013. Bearing in mind the after market Q85 EFB battery is around RM 420 to RM 480 just for 95D23L. 115D23L is much higher performance compare to 95D23L. How much better performance only the manufacturer can tell. In between you have 100D23L/105D23L/110D23L.

Our M3 skyactiv group has panel shop that sell amaron battery around rm420 member price

will disable i stop extent battery life?

In theory? Well, it should. However, based on my extensive research, there's no concrete proof that disabling it all the time actually extends the battery's life. Just correlations. As it is a special battery designed specifically for such. So It's more like, it prolongs the life of your engine mounting and other affected areas with that off and on.

Had high hopes that with some home maintenance...battery charging.., yet as per the previous page, you'll see that it didn't help much. For some, it lasts long and others short, with or without istop.

if total switch off - of the istop function.
which battery can the m3 use.

thinking of getting rid of it.
found no sense for it since the saving effect is not really saving at all
-battery more expensive
-effect on mountings
-starter motor
-most wear and tear on an engine occur on startup.

learn that some car manufacturer put the "istop" function just to
cater to emission and Fuel consumption test and you guess it sell more parts.

istop restart not using starter motor but with combustion technology. The rest I agreed with you.
