I wander whether the new FL can sell well with such a high pricing. Mazda has been increasing their price non stop since last year.
*
The GVC 2.0L GL is same price as Civic 1.8S
The GVC 2.0L HS is same price as Civic 1.5T

Why cannot sell? You are getting a better car for the same price.

Yeah!, definately. Mind to shared the used car price of cbu and ckd? Because the new cbu was about 20k expensive than ckd.

Now mazda is doing promotion and FL spec as low as 99k, please take note the FL is lower spec that not equiped as much accessories as HS like speedo meter, head up display, blind sport indictor, lane departure assist,leather seat bla bla etc
*
There's no point buying a used CBU unless you really must have soul red colour. It is less well equipped than than the HS and only slightly better equipped than the GL. The CBU also lacks a reverse camera. It is not better built than CKD as owners complain of rattles which is very rare in CKD. There are great deals for non-facelift GL and HS now.

Hi peeps! Just got my mazda 3 GL pre facelift last week.Fc is 8.5l/100km. Pretty good for a 2.0 city drive. However, My friend also owns a M3. He says the FC will improve after few thousand km. is it true? I laughed when i first heard it. 😅😅😅 sorry im a newbie..
*
For me no difference between the first tank and a few thousand km later. Modern cars don't have an engine breaking in period.

*
There are great deals for pre-facelift Mazda 3 models now. You can pick up a GL for less than RM100K OTR without insurance.

You can use ordinary battery but i-stop will not work and will indicate an error.

Hi all, is the one time FOC dead battery claim still valid now? I drove to the dealer today because the battery warning indicator came up today but they said that it's no longer valid and I will need to purchase a new battery for RM750. I would like to know if this is official or the dealer don't want to honor the claim.
*
The new policy for battery replacement is 1 year or 20,000km whichever comes first. You can buy an i-stop battery outside for about RM500.

I wonder, the 2017 Mazda 3 GVC also don't have auto door lock right?
Like door lock when pressing brake pedal or speed sensing auto door lock?
*
It probably don't have due to regulation but you can add in a plug and play accessory to have the doors lock when you step on the brake or put the gear into D.

I read thru the forum I found that I have to do that at specific accessories shop and the price is quite costly and not fix.
Any better recommendation?
*
The price is less than RM400 and includes auto side mirror folding. I know of 2 shops which can do it:

Sh0rty 5 Noise & Chassis foaming solution
EA AutoWorks

It can go to 20K mileage if you want. Don't believe the myth that it can only last 7K mileage.

Dear M3 Owners,

I would like to enquire does installing front sensor would void the mazda warranty even though from authorised workshop-GS Auto?
*
Why would it void the warranty if you install from authorised workshop? As front sensors is a standalone system it should not void any warranty even if you install outside.

M3 GL Sedan White 16...number plates confirmation and etc...now only tinting...

Raytech, huper optik or maybe wanna try haverkamp...

btw, anyone tint their headlamps to prevent 'yellowing' effect...it happens to all cars..moreover I have to park this car outside the home... blush.gif

I got 2 dogs and I prefer the dogs to run free in the compound and car scratches would happen indefinitely...example chasing anything that moves..

What tint anyone use on their vehicles care to share?
*
It can take 10 years for your headlights to yellow. Even then it can be polished off good as new. Headlight tint can mar your headlights with glue which is very difficult to remove after a few years.

Hello all bros.. have a question here
The mazda3 gl version stock tyres are 205/60R16
Must we replace with same size tyre? It seems rare to find.
Tyre shops are suggesting to change to:
1. 215/60R16
2. 205/55R16

I wonder if it is advisable? Also if we use stock rim, does it fit the above?
*
I think 205/55R16 is a better match as the difference is just the aspect ratio (related to height of tyre).

Found a trick recently regarding the istop malfunction warning.

Yesterday, out of no where after doing my shopping, the warning symbol showed up. So double confirm from the error menu pointing to the istop malfunction. The car still can crank up without hesitation, so was a little perplexed.

So on the way back, got a long stretch of open road and drove rather swiftly averaging above 100km/h till i reached home. A slight sigh of relief as no need to call in tow truck.

I reached home, trying to figure out where could possibly go wrong. So i restart the car in accessory mode. And to my surprise, the warning symbol disappeared. Go check in the error log, also no longer listed. I fired up the car another time just to double confirm, also no more error message. Feeling much relieved, but still i took the precaution by putting the battery to charge with a dedicated lead acid charger.

So a short conclusion, if you see this error initially, it could mean the battery is low on charge but not to the point of dying. Just not enough charge to support stop/start function. Try giving the car a good run on the expressway for 15 to 30 minutes. A good long stretch of swift driving can help put more charge back to the battery.

Not a fool proof method, but give it a try before spending few hundred for a battery replacement.
*
The i-stop error indication just means that the battery is unable to support i-stop. It is still good enough for starting your car.

The i-stop error will disappear after using the car for a while. However it will re-appear again. This on/off error will continue for a while until the battery deteriorates further and it becomes permanently on. (For me it took about 2 months). However starting your car is still not affected. You can then decide whether to replace the battery or not.

Exactly and I'm just wondering... if it's a popular colour, why aren't they producing this colour in June and July? My journey of owning a Mazda has not been pleasant or smooth, quite disappointed with Mazda and SA. I hope after-sales is better...
*
They don't produce all the colours at simultaneously. Colours are produced sequentially so you have to wait for a particular colour.

Just asked the sales rep. He said CKD models don't have GVC yet. Only CX3. Only CBU has the GVC. So I'm guessing yours in CBU unit?
*
I think your sales rep need to send for re-training. Mazda 3 GVC model has been launched in April this year and it's CKD. There are no CBU Mazda 3 on sale now.

If you get a good deal, why not? But RM5K rebate for a pre-facelift display unit doesn't look very attractive. I would go for at least RM10K rebate and provided it is not used as a test drive car.

My friend got RM8K rebate for a pre-facelift Mazda 3 GL and it wasn't a display car.

Yeah the model i am getting is not a test drive car.

8k got include free gifts?  hmm.gif  Mine is the high spec version though. too bad Labuan only one dealer not much bargaining power laugh.gif

Sales rep mentioned HQ said new facelift model only available in October..
*
Free smart tag, free full tank petrol and umbrella.

Oh I see, only one dealer so lack of bargaining power. Well, RM5K rebate is not too bad under the circumstances I suppose.

New GVC model only available at the end of the year. Earliest also October. According to the SA.

Something is not right. The pre-facelift non-GVC Mazda 3 is no longer in production. The remaining stocks are being sold off at steep discount. If they send one to Labuan for you it should not take 2-3 months to arrive. What happened to the display unit? Did the SA sell it to someone else?
