man that sucks...my old car drive almost 13 years still stick to the initial tensioners and chain cam...either yours is a lemon or manufacturers now like to make things less durable for more return purchases...

That's normal. I've asked the SC about it, they told me that it's to reduce the glare for oncoming cars.

You can ask them to recheck yours during your next service since that the headlamp is adjustable.

The default level is so damn low, even i requested to adjust during the service, still ended up almost no difference. I just adjust to my comfortable level. I compared it against the recent mercedes my relative have, mercedes ones still has higher light throw even after i adjusted my mazda to my liking. At least i know i'm not blinding the oncoming side or blinding the car in front of me.

Stick with 18 and get wider non OEM rims, like maybe 225 or 235 and a good set of rubber..
Going 19 doesn't mean u would get better grip if the rubbers aren't on par and it's pretty expensive..
*
Just get better tyres, but realistically speaking, 99.9% of our driving, we never reached the limits of the grip of our tyres. Most of us too chicken or the roads don't allow. But if changing to wider and larger wheels/tyres give you better peace of mind, there's no reason stopping. Just remember about scrub radius, wider doesn't always mean more grip; suspension geometry is king when talking about grip.

almost every m3 also has this issue, so far no one has solution to it yet

the squeking sound seems like is solved for me, i went to equine park sc and they help me to apply some grease instead of change the parts, now doesn't seems to have have sound already, yesterday i drive under rain also seems like no problem

i got the knocking sound when going through bump, it doesn't really bother me but i will try to ask sc to change the parts for me, under warranty must claim kao kao

I got the knocking sound like knuk knuk on early 2000km. they told me that they change something like washer part near absorber , probably around mounting ...the stock part is not good enough i think cus they said it came originally from factory...

and it fixed.

I think you better get another opinion. It could just be a matter of tightening the air-con belt.

check for those scratches and make sure all the lights are working and tyres is in good condition

the car is generally problem-free beside the knocking sound from suspension

After driving this, i felt those with budget around 90-100k... Should stretch a bit more to get this ride. GL will be good enough w/o the premium features.

Changing albums on long drives is a chore so here's how to create playlists for your MZD infotainment. All you need is a Windows PC. Plug your USB drive containing your MP3 files into your PC. Start Windows media player. Now use file manager to make a selection of songs from your USB, right click and select 'Add to Playlist'. Browse and continue to select and add to playlist until you are done. Now in media player click on the icon in the top right corner and select 'Save Playlist as' and save on your USB drive root directory. It will be saved as a .wpl file. Done!

Can anyone recommend a decent workshop around cheras or ampang to inspect my 2010 Mazda3 GL hatchback? I suffer from difficulty to start. Usually i have to put key inside 1st ignition turn before I can start engine.

If I try to start too quick like i forgot to wait etc, Ill get crank no start or even sometimes i hear like belting running but engine didnt start. Really weird and frustrating. This is not a faulty battery since battery has been changed and inspected.
