anyone face this problem too?

just after services, but the glenmarie sc can't find out the problem during the service.

The new CX-5 has the same old, same old engines. One underpowered 2.0L engine and one high road tax 2.5L engine. Why can't Mazda turbocharge their engines to be more competitive? Like this people will go for new Honda CRV with turbocharged engines. The Mazda 3 can also do with some turbo power to make it a really fun car to drive. Turbocharging is the way to go. Are you listening Mazda?

Firstly, there's a 2.5L turbo in the CX9, so I guess the possibility, however minute, is there for them to put it in the 3 or CX5.

Secondly, I'm a big NA fan, so I'm pleased to see Mazda continue to develop sans turbocharging (even though everyone and their mothers are shoving a turbo down their tiny <2L engines).
I do not agree with the sentiment that turbo power makes a car fun to drive - I've always appreciated the linear pull of a good NA engine.
So I recently got a Subaru with a CVT. This is my first time owning a CVT, but I've previously rented a Mitsu ASX with CVT and I wasn't impressed with it - it felt lethargic, it droned and very uninspired as a whole.

But with the Subaru - it's a 3.6L unit with bundles of torque - it felt smooth and effortless.
The revs were happy to stay low while the car still pulled.
It made the whole notion of changing gears feel antiquated - no more jerky gearshifts.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is - don't diss it until you've tried it

One would think in today's biz world, that should be norm.. .. So how did you rate em?

Yes it did. It also automatically switch to low beam when you following the car behind.

Yes, as long as not orange colour and blinking.

Usually due to :
- Difference between out door temperature and air conditioning temperature
- Engine not fully warmed up
- Due to insufficient charge in the battery (doesn't mean that your battery is dying, just that the charge requirement to activate istop is set at a conservative level to not over drain the battery).

When battery is about to die, will show istop error on error log and also istop indicator blinking orange.

iStop not functioning after changed new battery??

Probably ECU needs iStop learning (BATTERY CONDITION INITIALIZATION LEARNING)

Probably this may help.  You need to follow very closely within the time frame on each process to get it done successfully.

Upon completion, all 3 icons (Skyactiv engine, Battery & AC) background will grow blue indicates iStop is ready.

What zstan meant was the normal "downtime" of the istop, as just no istop lights. Not the orange/blinking lights stating istop error.

After some while, when the conditions are ok, the istop lights will show green.

Or you set your air cond temperature very low and the fan speed high?

You put lowest, almost confirm can hardly activate the istop. For me, i put around 24C. I just like the cabin cool not cold.

Another way for you to experiment is to turn off air conditioning when you're at a traffic light. Usually, after a second, the istop will turn green and istop will activate. Press the circles button and you'll see the led indicator turn off :

Maybe you can consider Agard tint when you're shopping for tints.

The newer line seems quite good. Website for your reference : http://www.agard.com.my/#

try RON97 for a few consecutive times. since it's a high compression engine (14:1), why not fully utilize its capacity     

do give me the feedback regarding the FC.

oh btw my parents disliked the idea of me getting a M3. after driving it for a few times, they couldn't find anything to complain other than leg rooms (who cares? im not marrying anyone soon).  it takes time for us malaysians to trust other non conventional brands. especially old people.

rm80 for 400km is on the high side. This is about 10L/100km. I can get 500km easily for rm80. Are you on 100% town driving?

I find this really surprising.. since i took the car 2 years ago..never did i clocked below 600KM per full tank bro..even dalam city or highway..in fact highway if really jaga speed can get around 700+..

I believe i said "fully utilize its capacity". Theoretically speaking,the engine should run at its best using high octane fuel. Again, "theoretically".

However, i run on a RON91 in hatyai last raya, it worked perfectly fine. Their premium Ron95 is our everyday use. If im not mistaken, the price is ridiculously expensive, 29 baht for ron 95. 😂😂😂😂

All SCs use Shell Helix semi-syn. I urge you not to waste your money to top up for fully syn. Your car is not a racing car and has no benefit from fully syn.

Semi Synthetic life is only 7,000 km max.  Full synthetic 10,000 km.

the government are at blame for high tax. But don't forget our lintah darat distributors having such a high profit margin. And we malaysians who are price insensitive. The more expensive the car the more glamour we get. Such a funny automotive ecosystem we have here in this country.

I believe if our new government(hopefully) lower the tax. The distributors will not adjust accordingly due to our strong purchasing power. They will just add up a few goodies here and there to maintain the price.

We are taught to love Bmw and mercedes from day 1. Building so many expressways just to push our sales volume hence the tax.

Mind sharing the price of mazda 3 in labuan and langkawi? Bear in mind it's purely the cost of the car + profit margin.(no gst no duties whatsoever). Yet, the difference is small. You can see how the distributors play us as well.

I believe no one here in this forum knows the actual cost of the cars.

We need more transparency both by government and distributors in the future. (Hopefully)
