For Mazda, it's hard to find a reputable workshop. Best is to source original part outside then bring to SC for repair.

Right now I am driving Honda City 2010. Maintenance and spare parts are cheap. How's the maintenance cost for M3?

No difference between all dealers / branches if you're looking for Product / Warranty / Service. The difference will be on deals you're getting from different places. I'm in KL, so car delivery to you would be quite fussy, unless you can make the trip.

In a drag race it will probably run out of grunt before a NA engine. There is one Driven video produced by Pauline Tan pitting a Pug 508 diesel, Camry Hybrid and Ford Mondeo in a drag race. The 508 came last despite having the highest torque on paper. Mazda does not seem to want to go the turbo route like Honda. There is a 2.5L Mazda 3 in U.S. market but we won't be getting it.

To reduce the hp and torque for the FL will not be a good feeling. Hhmmm...if the M6 FL on display is CBU, then it is understood.... Not sure if the M3 FL CKD will still keep the 14.0 compression ratio engine.

The major additions that you'll get for the facelifted version : - G vector control : Mazda's own way of torque vectoring but more advanced than rivals (google it for more details) - Possible revised seats that are more ergonomic and comfortable Other than the above 2 (besides some cosmetic tweaks both inside and outside), nothing else. You consider la whether die die must have it or not and whether worth the wait for at least another year. Engine wise still the same.

Seems like many Mazda 3 owners are super-sensitive to sounds. Nyek-nyek sound, kruk-kruk sound, tik-tik sound, sound of exhaust cooling, sound of engine louder when cold, sound of soft hiss at high speed and now this. Of all these only the kruk-kruk sound merits fixing. The nyek-nyek sound which only occur when going over a bump in the wet is not worth bothering for non-fussy owners. I think this super-sensitivity to sounds is because CKD M3 has surprisingly low defects compared to Honda Civic X and HRV where owners have plenty of defects to complain about. I didn't notice any cluck sound when starting but if it doesn't affect my car's normal functioning I really wouldn't bother.

Myself, I love the sound of high rpm cold start and the noise the car exhaust make during cool down. It gives the machine some lively feeling. Only complain that I have is the engine/exhaust sound is not satisfactory after 3000 rpm, it's subtle like a gentleman ride.

If you accelerate hard from standstill you get a "Vrooommmmm......" Sounds much better than the whinny Civic X.

Fuh...You guys/girls should really give the Petron RON100 a try, the engine response is better than what Shell V Power Racing can offer. Revving to 3000rpm feels more effortless and beyond that rev range, the exhaust have a different lower tone growl. Butt feel like acceleration improved by at least 0.5 seconds....

Just try for the fun of it for once la...the engine response is noticeably different, really better than Shell V Power Racing The Skyactiv engines really knows when good stuff being fed

If not the GL is the same engine and body and give you the same driving pleasure minus the gadgets and big rims. In short if you have the budget go for HS. If not the GL is still a very good car.

Well basically you will get the same car chasis, same car engine. Main safety feature(air bag etc..) are all included. By now I guess you should know what is the feature that lack on GL example lane departure, city smart brake..etc If you are an outlook oriented person, note that HS come with DRL and LED tail light ( + different lighting system used on HS and GL). HS come with 18" RIM which increase your performance while increase your overall road noise. I would say, if your budget is enough, just get it.

The important safety features are common. Bigger rims look nice but they are generate more road noise and you need more expensive tyres. The engine is the same with the same power.

Trade in 16" for 18" rim & tyre - deducted RM 4K (may be) Leather seats instead of fabric - deducted RM 2K Add DRL - deducted RM 1K (may be) Bi-Xenon with Auto Leveling headlight instead of Halogen - deducted RM 2K (may be) Balance RM 6K go the rest extra features may comes about RM 800/feature, As all everyone said loud and clear, if extra penny is not an issue, why not?

Hopefully there will be extra discount towards the year-end sales (may be not) due to the launching of the CIVIC X this year. Previously M3 may enjoy exclusive market segment due to poor sales from 9th Gen CIVIC and less features but over priced ALTIS. If M3 market share drop tremendously because of CIVIC X, probably Mazda Malaysia need to work harder to push their sales to counter HONDA attack. What I am trying to say is Mazda can be lansi about their little discount due to no competition earlier due to HONDA lack of their star product in the C segment market. Hope to see some changes in Mazda sales strategy at the year end sales which will definitely benefit Mazda hardcore fans here.

Furthermore, those items all covered by warranty and insurance (in case of accident or theft) if anything happen to your ride. The only HS feature you can add to GL by the official SC is navigation for RM600. All other additions have to be done buy 3rd party and potentially void your warranty. Also note that all aftermarket HID kits are illegal and they don't come with auto levelling. Adding DRL is not RM1K. Few hundred can kaw tim. The leather seat for GL is already included but some SA offer an extra RM2K discount if you want fabric seats. This post has been edited by Ginny88: Aug 17 2016, 01:08 PM

Hope to see some changes in Mazda sales strategy at the year end sales which will definitely benefit Mazda hardcore fans here. c'mon la, those who like mazda will get mazda, the seaweed is nothing to shout about, if you upgrade from B segment then yes, the seaweed is a better car, but those who driven m3 will stay with m3 m3 is a clear win on interior, exterior, handling and driving experience, we dont brag about it because majority of peoples in malaysia is bias towards toyota and honda, go test drive then you will know why those add-on features for hi spec is subjective to individual, if you dont like it you dont get it, if you like it you get it, i personally find that the extra active safety feature is useful to me, the SCBS help me avoid potential accident a few times, rear view monitoring can even detect motor without headlight at dark road that is usually hard to spot them using your rear view mirror you can say mazda is stingy about their discount, but m3 is still the most worth to buy in JDM C-segment, priced reasonably at 124k for some of the advanced active safety features that you cant find on other JDM C-segment and dont see many owners complain about defects on their car, that is the same even if you go to international forum, if got defect we can just drive in to sc and get a new part exchange with big fuss except for the time spent in sc if you want to be calculative, actually the more discount mazda give to their new cars, the lower the resale value of your car, look at VW jetta, almost 50% drop in price last time? that's definitely affect the resale value for those previous owner as well as new owner i dont know seaweed fansboy is kiasu or what, but comparing a 2016 car with a 2014 car if you like turbo and aircon that blow hot air, by all mean go ahead with civic since the car is faster on straight road, lower ride height and bigger interior for big family

You can price high and give big discount or price lower and give smaller discount. It depends on your pricing strategy, nothing to do with lansi. The Civic IX generation was beaten soundly on pricing by CKD Mazda 3. With the Civic X the pricing is closer now so maybe it is Mazda which influence Civic pricing. By all means test drive and see which car suits you. The Civic wins on space but the M3 wins on handling. In the long run a NA car is easier and less costly to maintain than a turbo car.

I personally don't think its overtly expensive - l am sure if you were to order from Mazda, itll be more..

Really make sense. Opened my eyes.

Older generation of Mazda does have this problem, very unlikely that the current generation of products have rusting issues anymore. Would be nice that you clarify which year does it belong to.

They give you a value for your old car. If you are not happy with the value try to sell direct. So what was your average cost per year maintaining your Mazda 3?

Whoah 😳 Get a second opinion. I'm not sure of any workshop that's a specialist for Mazda. I remember someone mentioned about a M3 club which have their own recommended workshops. But do get a second opinion. It may be just a O2 sensor that's faulty which won't cost much to replace. For 10k, might as well get an aftermarket exhaust system for extra vroooom 😆 This post has been edited by Rubz77: Aug 20 2016, 11:22 AM

The catalytic converter is not essential to the operation of your car but being a good citizen and caring for the environment it feels good to get it fixed if only to get rid of the engine fault light. But rm10K to fix it? And only for 2-3 years? Tell the SC to take their estimate and shaft it up where the sun doesn't shine. Most official SCs are the same. They overcharge, are bad at diagnosis and refuse to fix anything. They only know how to replace whole set. Unfortunately I don't know of any Mazda specialist but looking for solution outside is certainly the way to go.

Give it a good hard drive for about 100km in order for the ECU to give a richer fuel/air mix, a cheap way i learned from a car enthusiast before really plonking money for a part replacement.

I get the car last year September only discount 1.6K + freebies umbrella, tyre inflators, tinted voucher (RM300 only) and half tank petrol. Tyre inflators also rosak 1. Gtechniq 9H coating quite famous. It's a UK brand. You may ask which package the SA give for the coating. Same to vkool tint, which tint they give. QUOTE(amduser @ Aug 23 2016, 10:21 AM) Gtechniq not bad i guess, but the price is quite expensive tint is up to you, but the tint voucher is only for lower range of tint, when i buy i dont have any freebies, only tyre inflator and the tint i do it outside myself QUOTE(amduser @ Aug 23 2016, 11:54 AM) it is printed in the user manual as well since we are sending it back to service center for service, might as well just let them do their job but for me i will still do the checking myself, like those brake fluid, engine oil quality, coolant and etc one thing to take note is the ATF, mazda claimed that it last a lifetime or at least 100,000km, but we should change it during 20k or 40k mileage Thank all for the sharing one thing need to mention, actually i have misunderstood. is either 1.5K + tint OR Coating WITHOUT rebate 1.5K... So.... one question here, is the coating really important? does it really help in future? i mean after 3 - 5 years, is there a big difference between 2 car where one have coating and another dont have?

Now the SA quite nice, she offer me 1k rebate + LUMA tint (Explosion-proof with 5 year warranty）+ coating with 5 year warranty i think this is the best i can get already. But is the LUMA tint ok, compare with vkool? as if i choose rebate 1.5k she give me vkool tint.

If it is Llumar this is a popular branded imported tint so should have some standard but I've not used it before. But if you get better rebate with VKool tint may as well take the Vkool.

Please advice me on whether there is any big issue about the CBU version & the price that i should pay for it. Thanks! greatly appreciated!! You can try reading back V5 & V6 of this thread for the CBU Mazda 3. As for the price I think it should be at least 25% depreciation from the new price for a 18 months old car. But the new price should not be from the CBU new price, it should be from CKD new price. As the CBU spec is between GL and HS the CKD reference price should be the average of GL and HS. CKD ref price = (105 + 120)/2 = 112,500 Used CBU car price = 75% x 112,500 = RM84,300 IMO this should be the fair price. Of course some owners want to base their depreciation on the price they paid but when there is a cheaper CKD version they should take a haircut.

Usually those voucher for tint or coating are useless. The voucher price had been factored into the car tint or coating cost. You can try ask them what package the voucher is valid for and go approach the car tint or coating company as walk in customer to nego a good price. Don't mentioned about the voucher that you have :-)

Thanks kenny for such a response! we did nego around the price u've mentioned. its so hard to walk away from a mazda car the minute u seat in one tho. one thing to note is that the mileage is very low and everything is in a pristine condition. Too bad the ckd version screwed its mkt value.

The VKool package is worth RM2K so including rebate of RM1.5K you are getting RM3.5K. Good coating with 5 years warranty is usually priced from RM1.5K to RM2K. Let's say both options have the same value and the coating cost RM1.5K. So the amount for Llumar tint is RM3.5K - 1.5K - 1.0K (rebate) = RM1.0K. This amount of RM1000 is not enough for a good tint by an imported brand. Hence I think the tint should be a house brand. Heat rejection is hard to say. A 3rd option is to forget about tinting or coating and ask how much cash rebate you can get. If can get RM3.5K take the cash and tint outside. You can get Raytech U70 + MX security tint for <RM2K which is better than VKool 55.

Getting Started Junior Member 114 posts Joined: Sep 2011	Hi Everyone, I'm a new owner of the Mazda 3 2016, I have a question about the infotainment system. Is there a way to have the FM radio working along side the audio from my phone's google maps? If I am listening to the radio and get a call, no issues, but if I want to listen to the radio and get direction instructions from google maps, that doesn't seem to work. The only way to listen to the google maps through Bluetooth is to change the entertainment source to the Bluetooth.

HS is a good choice to ensure you won't regret. GL...high chance may regret. How much rebate are you getting? Better to go to independent tint dealer so you can select the actual tint yourself rather than wonder what the SA has installed for you.

It costs about RM2000 to tint the whole car with a good brand. There is no way it can be discounted to RM488. If it is too good to be true it probably is.

I think 1.5k+ tint is more realistic. If you don't mind the 2015 manufactured M3, the rebate is much much higher for new car like this....

As you can see the peak HP is 162 HP/6000 rpm and peak torque 210 Nm/4000 rpm as specified by Bermaz. The acceleration times as tested. 0-100km/h is a respectable 8.2 sec..

Our Mazda 3 bonnet is long and low so it's hard to judge distance to the front. That's why I installed front sensors. They don't connect to our MZD but to an independent LED display mounted on the dashboard. Btw, you should be able to get a quote from your SA. Including painting won't be cheap. It may be worth claiming insurance.

We wont know the car is under what kind of condition for the last 2 year, thats the problem.

Our Mazda 3 bonnet is long and low so it's hard to judge distance to the front. That's why I installed front sensors. They don't connect to our MZD but to an independent LED display mounted on the dashboard. Btw, you should be able to get a quote from your SA. Including painting won't be cheap. It may be worth claiming insurance. Hi Kenny, does install 3rd party proximity sensor void the car warranty in this case?

You already know there is nothing difficult to apply for loan. The other thing need to be done is Puspakom inspection. This is usually the responsibility of the owner but if you are doing on his behalf nothing difficult also. Make an appointment online and take a half day off. If the tint doesn't comply better tear it out first to avoid a fail. Ownership transfer is very simple if both of you can go to JPJ together. The owner's insurance and road tax are cancelled upon transfer so you need to buy insurance for the car first so you can buy your road tax on the spot. Runner can't help you transfer ownership as biometric of buyer and seller must be taken at JPJ counter so don't waste your money. This post has been edited by Ginny88: Sep 5 2016, 11:11 AM

I went to Bermaz Glenmarie and they said the warranty is 1 year or 20,000km for the battery. I'm already past that and don't feel like forking out RM700 for a battery because I don't use the i-stop at all. To answer my own post, got the battery changed for free today. First battery change during warranty period is free. There is also another 1 year warranty on top of the new battery. Don't need appointment, just drive the car in and wait 1-2 hrs.

Opted for fully synthetic oil this time just to test the difference. Paid ~RM140. Noticeable difference in transmission when speeding up -- smoother gear transition compared to semi-synthetic. Overall I'm happy with the SC. Friendly staff and both times I went there (for 1st and 2nd service) I was attended by Arun. Not sure if it's worth mentioning but they always give me the extra engine oil.

Some more when speed to 160km/h, it got like somethings burning smell like rubber or maybe exhaust paip smell like that... Did anyone know this problem or got somebody got this problem before? Thanks If I may ask, is this the first time that you drive at high speed or rpm? Burning smell is normal at high speed or rpm in the beginning...it'll go away once your car is used to it. Nothing to worry about, based on my experience. As for your top speed, have you floored the pedal until the end? One thing I realise is that once you've floored the pedal, you can actually floor it even further (requires extra push). You can feel the "click" of the pedal. You can try this when the engine is off to see what I mean. I personally have hit 205km/h and it's still not the top speed yet. Would love to know the experience of other drivers on these matters too

Yes, this is first time driving high speed and high RPM on this new car, it just done 1st services last week also. You mean "clicks" on pedal there I really dint noticed. Maybe will try later. Maybe you said is true because is 1st time got like burning smell when high RPM. One more thing, how to view speedometer on our touch screen there? Need to set anything or?

All priced at RM 102,800 (may be not OTR price) WHITE Only. Mileage from 4K to 8K and were Mazda staff cars according to the PIC over there. PM me if you are interested so I can give you the contact number for you to explore the opportunity. Hatchback is sexy AF but the spec is a huge drawback for me Anyway, will take time to visit Glenmarie showroom, shall see the car in person first and thank you for replying me

Some more when speed to 160km/h, it got like somethings burning smell like rubber or maybe exhaust paip smell like that... Did anyone know this problem or got somebody got this problem before? Thanks The actual top speed you can achieve depends on the incline of the road, your tyre pressure, the weight you are carrying and your own weight. Probably the direction of the wind matters as well. Try again on another stretch of road and see if you can achieve higher but be careful.

Apparently it has to do with mold build up inside air cond cooling vents / evaporative coils. i thought all cars will have the same issue?

Aircond has been making screeching sound when i turn it on.. Did you go through a puddle of water recently? If yes, then will probably go off in a day or 2. If still persist, most likely the belt tension relating to the compressor will need to be adjusted. It is a simple job that any workshop/accessory shop that does air conditioning services can help you. Less than 5 minute job, just a few pulls on the wrench, maybe they won't even charge you for it. The lazy way : start the car with the air conditioning off, drive it for a minute and restart air conditioning, highly unlikely will make the screeching sound at all.

You didn't mention why you want to upgrade.. Going one up is not bad, but there are trade offs.. FC is one ; comfort another - pros would be a tad better dry roadholding.. If I were you, l'd look at lite, after market rims of the same size.. 18inchers are decent enough already, l shudder to think how much a 19inch tyre would cost when time to change it..

If for looks, then black is even better.. no? I like dark colored rims too, especially on a lite colored car.. but unfortunately, OE rims - other than tat it being the exact offset, is usually boringly designed or bloody heavy.. so for me, unless you really really love tat rim, l'd go for after market rims

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.

Going 19 doesn't mean u would get better grip if the rubbers aren't on par and it's pretty expensive..
