auto leveling is self leveling while your car is loaded with passenger, it will lower the headlight level to prevent glare to incoming traffic and car in front

to increase the default level of the headlight you need to manually adjust the screw behind the headlight, the screw is a white nylon screw with gear

wind down the window, lock the car then open the car from inside, or you can try to open the door with the key after you lock it with remote

iinm, the alarm is just honk

Why is that GL rim size is smaller 2inch compare to HS? Usually between HS n LS the size difference is only 1inch. GL look so weird on 16inch...

I did that with EA autoworks, PM them for quotation. I dont know how does the BMW auto tilt behave. Mine is when put in Reverse gear, only left side mirror tilt down to allows you see the lower portion. Else, it back to normal angle.

Cheaper method, go accessories shop to buy those sphere alike mirror and stick at your side mirror.

Lol. You should direct this question to Bermaz, not here. Mazda has not been as usual as other brand. Ppl complain why other brands able to give huge rebates while Mazda rebates are just so little.

Hi M3 owners... anyone here replaced your absorbers before?
I'm driving 2nd gen hatchback and was quoted rm1.1k by svc center for a pair of front absorbers.
The price includes gst + labor, it also comes with 6mth/10,000km warranty.
I'm wondering whether anyone here has experience replacing this outside and whats the total damage.

Then no idea liao. For Mazda, it's hard to find a reputable workshop. Best is to source original part outside then bring to SC for repair.

For normal servicing like changing engine oil or ATF or brake pads you don't need to go to Mazda specialist. Any normal mechanic can do. Even most general repairs they can do also unlike Conti cars where you need specialists.

I am eyeeing for hi-spec M3 Sedan. Was quoted for 128k OTR according to brochure. I heard some sales agent offer cash rebate and freebies except Mazda Equine Park as they told me maybe those sellers are trying to clear old stocks.

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

worth to buy, given the price at 128k, you really get a lot of active and passive safety features and other good-to-have features, the car is good to drive and really suitable for small family

and bermaz dont really give a lot of discount but you can survey around see if got dealers willing to offer more discount

The upgrade to leather seat for GL is standard. It has nothing to do with the rebate.

Don't think there's any Penang Dealer at all. Penang belongs to Prima Merdu (Branch).

The new FL M3 , most likely another year or more.

I don't know of any particular shop but I would look for a spare parts shop with a Mazda logo on its signboard. The SC is the last place I would buy it from.

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.

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.

thanks for the info. ya, i dont think to get car from kl...

Yeah I do feel that too.

In fact, I started to test the difference when my friend (skyactive CBU) told me about his "feeling".

And then I (skyactive CKD) started testing it.
I don't know if it is really the case or am I feeling the difference because he said there is.
The difference is not by a significant margin for me though

Any idea when this FL will be available in Malaysia ? 

By the way,  any Penang dealer / sales person over here? I wanna buy this M3

Penang dealer? already PM'ed you :-)


Don't know about the M3 FL, but I went to service my M3 yesterday, and saw that the M6 FL is already on display (don't know whether CBU or CKD)......but it seems that Mazda has reduced the compression ratio from 14:1 to 13:1 for the 2.0 engine, with a corresponding reduction in power and torque :-( Maybe this is only for the CBU unit??

I think it shouldn't be any differences in between CBU and CKD, but sometimes i feel even for same brand of petrol but different location mileage and performance will have slightly difference.

There are some software hacks but they don't work well. JDM Technik has a hardware solution but you need to pay about RM2K for it.

I think our driving routes/styles contributed to the difference also lah

There is no CKD Mazda 6 unit. The present 2.0L Maz6 is already underpowered. To reduce the hp and torque for the FL will not be a good feeling.

Diesel engine torque is good but only for a narrow range of rpm (typically over a range of 1000rpm only). 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.

Actually android auto is the most stable of them all. I never failed to connect before. I just stopped using it because it limits other functions, but you can view your whatsapp chats on your monitor etc.

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.

I don't get what you mean. At 3500 rpm you get a satisfying "Vroom!!". If you accelerate hard from standstill you get a "Vrooommmmm......" Sounds much better than the whinny Civic X.

can i know why u guys think that it will take 1 year + for the FL to arrive in Msia?

Simple. The Mazda 3 was launched in May 2015. A facelift this year will be too soon. A FL 2 years from launch (mid-2017) is the earliest we can expect but don't count on it.

I don't get what you mean. At 3500 rpm you get a satisfying "Vroom!!". If you accelerate hard from standstill you get a "Vrooommmmm......" Sounds much better than the whinny Civic X.

It's better then Civic for sure but maybe my expectations is set differently. I wanted a screaming noise. Lol

If tinting outside will void warranty I think 90% of owners have forfeited their warranty already. Compare prices outside without voucher and see if it is worth it. Some shops will give you list price with voucher which is more expensive than without voucher.

this is not shitty honda brand la, tint wont void warranty, and no one has problem with power window

you can even mod your car, SA wont make noise unless you want to claim warranty, but try not to go HQ to service your car if your car is heavily mod

Driven additional 5000km, so time for my fuel system cleaning time by using better type of petrol. Since I tried Shell V Power Racing before, this time i go for Petron RON100.

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.... rolleyes.gif

Wallet feel ouch though....RM120+ for 45L tongue.gif sweat.gif

Just try for the fun of it for once la...the engine response is noticeably different, really better than Shell V Power Racing laugh.gif

Hi Spec Sedan and HB same price but few electronic gadget missing (Auto Windshield Wipers/Active Driving Display/Auto Cruise/Electronic Adjustable Seat/Fabric Seats and Upholstery/HBC/SCBS/RVM/LDWS) for HB version. While mid Spec or GL is RM 15K less.

Are they worth the extra penny?

HB is not worth it. You are paying hi spec price for mid spec.

Hi spec is worth the RM15K especially if you like big rims. 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. smile.gif

I would say, if your budget is enough, just get it. rclxms.gif

Worthwhile features - HID headlights, auto cruise, smart city brake, blind spot monitoring, adaptive headlights, keyless entry, auto dimming mirror

Not so important - auto wiper, auto headlights on, auto climate control, auto high beam control, power adjustable seats, lane departure warning, DRL, LED tail lights, better looking control knobs, navigation, paddle shifts

Driver preference - 18" rims and Toyo performance tyres instead of 16" rims and Toyo tyres.

Common features - leather seats, 6 airbags, reverse camera, bluetooth telephony, infotainment display, push start, ABS, EDB, BA, DSC

Well, you decide whether it is worth RM15K or not.

Good luck on it. Mazda is popular for not having any year end sales. Max you might get is another 1-2k discount which will be available only after Jan 2017.

Actually what I am thinking of is after deducting where the RM 15K go to, I think the amount we are spending on those gadgets that GL may not have, it may be good investment if we have the extra money for Hi-Spec Sedan M3...

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?

Furthermore, those items all covered by warranty and insurance (in case of accident or theft) if anything happen to your ride.

bi-xenon headlight unit cost 2k per side if i'm not mistaken, and plug and play those aftermarket taobao bi-xenon headlight unit to GL unit but the AFS wont work, the AFS sensor alone is around 1k

each of the i-active sense features will cost more than 1k each, no one has reported a faulty and claimed from sc yet, so this is just purely assumption

the electric powered adjustable seat also wont be less than 1k

the cheapest add on is probably the cruise control + paddle shift and the reverse cam which you can done 3 of them for less than 1k

and the taillight unit alone is also 1k+ per side, can source from taobao then plug and play

Apparently I am too conservative about the add-on prices to those extra features on Hi-Spec Sedan.

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.

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.

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 laugh.gif 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

2nd hand 18" OEM rims with good condition is priced around 1.3k to 1.5k without tyres, it wont be more than 1.8k

18" rims is very heavy, better go for aftermarket 18" if you have the budget tongue.gif

Thanks for the feedback..
Agree.. but sometimes they want the ori look and you can't get that with after market rims
Also.. it would be more expensive [by a lot] unless you go for replica ones..

Apparently I am too conservative about the add-on prices to those extra features on Hi-Spec Sedan.

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.
*
Discount is a matter of pricing. 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.

Wa...2nd hand ori rims so expensive... mega_shok.gif

I once gatal go ask a reputable seller here for this wheel :
http://konigwheels.com/wheels/flow-formed-wheels/rennform/

Costs only RM2000 for whole set and some more this wheel is lighter by about 25% for 18 x 8 size.

If you read through the details, although it is rather affordable, it is not low quality stuffs. They licensed Enkei's MAT process for this range of rims. So quite a steal laugh.gif laugh.gif

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

Rims are kinda like buying handbags , sad to say.. sometimes its the brand that counts.. l guess the only way to know is if you were to use it yourself - on paper, it does look good la..

If you want yeng-ness, than go for the harder riding 18in.

If you want slightly better road comfort, go for the 16in lor...but may don't look that nice la...

BMW rim will not fit, the "hole spec" for MAzda3 is different. Even if it looks nice, OEM rims are usually those normal cast wheels which are quite heavy.

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.

It works like any normal car you trade in. 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?

4. Claim dead car battery

[INFO] our car original battery is cover under warranty for ONE time of FOC change from wet waterly battery to maintenance free battery while within 3 years or 60k millage . (Whichever come first)
* preferably to be change in bermaz sc, dealer might not entertain / change for you.
* must be original battery that come with your new ride.
Guys is this info still correct? 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.

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 😆

at beginning they also thought that O2 sensor faulty but after scan with their tool turn out catalys converter that is faulty...they told me if i only change the O2 sensor that only last for a year and if i change the whole set it can prevent the problem for 2-3 years...i don know they want to cheat me or what cause i don know much about car...

If changing the sensor is solving the problem, might as well do it and see how it goes after 1 year.

Honestly their diagnosis is very lame and stupid. Please get a second opinion at different place.

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.

at beginning they also thought that O2 sensor faulty but after scan with their tool turn out catalys converter that is faulty...they told me if i only change the O2 sensor that only last for a year and if i change the whole set it can prevent the problem for 2-3 years...i don know they want to cheat me or what cause i don know much about car...

If chging o2sensor may help..may i suggest you to use ron97 petrol for 1 week to see if the light go away? Many times the light go away if its o2sensor after using ron97.

Try 2 tankful of good petrol + fuel system cleaner each tank. 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.

your friend drive civic ketam?

there is no such thing that unlock speed meter, if you're talking about speed limiter that limit max speed at 220km/h, it wont affect the pick up also

every car behave differently, you need to know the sweet spot to get the most out of the car

Very good deal already. 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. shakehead.gif
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.

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 thumbup.gif

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?

depends on how you take care, after coat you still need to wash your car verify often like once or twice a week depends on the weather, if no contact with rain or not many mud then can wash less frequent

coating can give extra shine and easier to wash the car since the dust wont stick to the surface of the car

if didnt take proper care for the coating it will wear off in 2-3 years, if take care then it will last, if compare side by side with a car without coating after 3 years you will notice the car with coating will have better shine given that it has been properly taken care of

good coat also provide UV protect and can prevent paint oxidation, but it doesn't provide protection against stone chip which is quite vulnerable for our car, and if you always drive under rain and didnt wash it, it will have watermark on the coat

tint no need say already la, we all know what kind of benefit it give

The ATF is fully synthetic type, can last 100,000km or more. But for our harsher and dustier environment, 80k km is a good time to consider replacing it. 60k km if you're paranoid or your journey is mostly stop/go type of jammed up traffic.

Wah....explosion proof shocking.gif shocking.gif shocking.gif

Should be security tint la tongue.gif If really explosion proof, the military will be seriously interested in it.

I presume she offered you Llumar brand, this is a reputable and established tint manufacturer. For free type, don't expect very good heat rejection (should be Titanium series, if better then best lor). But anyway, since free, just take it lor whistling.gif whistling.gif

Is it LUMA or LLUMAR? 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. IMO coating is not necessary.

I also not sure, most people go with Diamond series if they have the money. You can see the detailed specifications here :

You can look around for opinions in the tint thread or you can ask the sellers directly on the garage sale section.

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.

Anyone has any recommendation sc / mazda specialist that can do a good job for a resonable fee? Thx!

( it is still under free service, can always go back there as well )

Ask to see all his service records including the service booklet and invoices to see what has been done. If there are no major repairs should be OK.

I'm not sure whether you can go to the Mazda SC where he does his service and ask them for the full record but it's worth a try.

18 months is very soon to sell a car. What is is reason for selling?

Many expats lost their jobs selling their new car due to the the oil market. i did call up mazda and everything is up to date. For me i Would prefer a full inspection prior to puspakom to avoid any issue that wasnt brought up previously

she offer full install tint before pass me the car, and give me 2 option,

Llumar house tint vesssolar M5  7 yr warranty (full tint and pass car to me after install)
+ Gtechniq platimun crystal coat full interior exterior 5yr warranty
+ rebate 1k

OR

rebate 1.5K + Vkool elite rem 55, 5 year warranty(full tint and pass car to me after install)

both come with the GPS SD Card

Llumar house tint??? blink.gif confused.gif
*
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.

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.

Drive until indicator show 0km estimated mileage/zero fuel bar left, about 600km for 45L.

Even till zero bar, still got about 5L reserve, plenty enough to reach the next petrol station.

The variation is noticeable by eye for all colours if you really look. Just have to accept it.

Any good SA can recommend for better buying experience in term of discount and after sales service around Puchong, KL, Shah Alam, PJ, Subang area.

What can be expect from the upcoming carnival sales @ Glenmarie this weekend? May be a contact number for one of the SA there so I can check it out too.

all color has this problem, one of the reason is because bumper and body is spray with different bucket of paint so reduce manufacturing time so will notice some color difference

I'm totally sorry, but Bermaz does not have 2 pricing. Only current pricing. For ease of reference, here's the OTR Price inclusive insurance

M3 GL Metallic Sedan = 109,340.98
M3 GL Solid Sedan = 108,940.99

M3 Highspec Metallic Sedan = 124,754.39 = M3 HatchBack Metallic
M3 Highspec Solid Sedan = 124,354.39 = M3 HatchBack Solid

Possible if 100% highway and drive at constant 90-110 km/h. For realistic driving with 50% City and 50% highway you can get between 500 km and 600 km.

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.

You won't regret getting a HS, the extra features really worth the price

I go outside to install the tint, sc not giving us good tint also

The specs look suspicious. 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.

already sold out, sound too good to be true la

if you want cheap can look for CannyCool tint, but most of the owners here settle for reputable brand

i think there is only 1 blue mica owner in skyactiv club, not as attractive as the other color and the color look old to me

saw a titanium flash yesterday, it has a very nice gold brown color, so far i only saw like 3 units on the road

I'm driving the blue option. Mazda3 is quite a rare car on the road, i see more W205 C Class here than the M3. If you want to stand out further, the blue will be the rarest colour among the Mazda3s on the road. smile.gif

Usually M3 comes with some form of rebate like e.g RM3.5k + tint, so if I get the lucky draw of RM10k, will that be on top of original rebate or either one?

Only make sense to be on top of existing rebate. Who wants to forfeit the rebate if you only success to get RM 500 from the lucky draw in the worse case scenario? doh.gif

Btw which SA is offering rebate RM3.5K + tint? GL or HS Sedan?

yeah, i was thinking the same but you never know lol.

i was just giving an example of the 3.5k + tint. I think 1.5k+ tint is more realistic.

For those who are interested I managed to get the torque-HP curve for our Mazda 3 Skyactiv-G 165 engine.
As you can see the peak HP is 162 HP/6000 rpm and peak torque 210 Nm/4000 rpm as specified by Bermaz.

Attached Image

The acceleration times as tested. 0-100km/h is a respectable 8.2 sec..

Last time I only get 1.5k rebate and I didn't take the tint offer since I opt for better choice outside

If can get 3k rebate should be very good already, maybe can try to ask for some freebies instead and not to mention the features that come with this car, I doubt you can find it from other cars with this price range

I am one of the new owners of Mazda 3. My initial choice will be whether I get the new Civic or Mazda 3, and at the end I went for Mazda 3. The reason behind is M3 has already been in the market for 2 years and so far I didn't hear any serious/major technical complaints about it. As for the new Civic, I have heard complaints here and there.....therefore I got the 'not-so-up-to-date car', rather than a 'latest Lemon'.

The "gate" refered gere is rear boot damper which is only used in the HB version.

Moreover its exposure to road salt which only happens in winter country.

Nothing concern M3 sedan

It's nothing to do with your wife's driving skill. 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.

Don't remember seeing any dampers...M3 sedan uses the regular "goose neck" arm and possibly a spring mechanism of sorts to pop the booth lid open.
Anyways, even if they were to replace the above, no big deal ler.

i've seen m3 sedan CBU owner driven more than 80k mileage and the car has no issue aside from normal servicing, wear and tear part replacement

the first day i get my m3 HS i already redline the engine and driven until now no problem too

the one with engine ecu problem is skyactiv-D, we are skyactiv-G

and we use spring for sedan boot, only hatchback and some SUV use damper to hold the door in place to prevent the door falling down when open

If headlights are affected it may cost more than 5K. One headlight is already about 2K. You need to make a police report as this is required for all insurance claims.

Well, accidents happen. Get it fixed and move on. Just remember that relationships are more important than money. Anything which can be fixed with money will soon be forgotten but take care of relationships.

Later I will ask my wife. But surely I will claim for insurance if possible since do not want to repeat my previos mistake on other car which I have to repair and cost more than 4k.

went to Glenmarie today and can discount 2k + 500 tinit voucher.

Also they have few 2014 manufactured sedan HS model left which can discount up to 6k.

its quite tempting,been thinking about this.

What is the cons of get a 2014 model?
The only thing i know is the deprecation in 2nd hand value, if i want to sell if off in future.

Is there other cons about this?

Also, i have ask a few SA frm different branch before i go to Glenmarie, some give 1.5k rebate with full tint, some is 1k with voucher, some say can give 2.5k with tint and coating voucher (but dunno the value yet).

The more i ask, the more confuse i am.

RM6K discount for 2014 car not worth it bro. Second hand dealers price your car based on the year of manufacture, not on the year of registration.

the tint they apply might be low end tint that offer very less heat rejection and VLT is very high

2014 car is not worth the 6k rebate, 2014 HS market price should be around 100k since our car value depreciate faster than H and T

Ya, check on a well known 2nd hand car website, 2014 or 2015 model, at least depreciate 30k.
if i bought a 2014 model even it is new one, with rebate of 6k, its really buang money to sea shakehead.gif

if you are keeping the car for a long time like 7-10 years then no need care about resale value la, but the thing is we dont know how they keep the 2014 car for 2 years, if everyday under the sun and rain without shelter then the paint and interior going to degrade faster than usual, and also engine that doesn't start and run frequently also will give problem in long run

It's nothing to do with your wife's driving skill. 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.

does install 3rd party proximity sensor void the car warranty in this case?

Test drive the car and take it to as high speed as you dare. Test all the electronic functions to make sure they are working. Check the body for dents and make sure nothing has been resprayed. Check the service record and confirm that warranty is still valid. If everything checks outs there is no reason not to buy it.

There is no need to spend money on agent. 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.

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.

1st battery change can claim from sc for free, then you have 1 year warranty from the battery manufacture, basically after the 1st battery claim from sc then you're on your own since battery hardly fail in a year

Guys, our M3 having long bonnet/ front overhang hence making tight spot maneuvering a little tricky.

if lets say we are driving into parking (head in) , would SCBS kick in when we are a little too near to the wall or car beside??

if i'm not mistaken, it wont activate if your steering is has turned more than certain angle, same goes to i-stop, SCBS operation speed is 4-30km/h

if let's say you were to drive 4km/h and going to bang a pillar, there are chances that it will activate and stop the car inch before collision

but SCBS doesn't work well with non reflective surface like concrete pillars in parking and pedestrian

SCBS will not help you when parking. Your speed when you go into a parking spot will be below 4 km/h.

Can get RM3K-4K discount for 2016 car so I don't think RM6K for 2015 car is worth it.

According to Pauline Tan soul red will be available next year at additional cost.

Got my car in early June and yesterday I just did the 2nd service (10,000km) at Mazda PJ federal highway.

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.

I do regular wash at home and sometime send to the shop that uses 3M to wash on a weekly basis maximum 2 weeks.


Price wise..hmm PM me haha I can give you contact to their PIC as well, pretty nice uncle.. haha kinda grumpy but he will explain to you everything you need to know about the tech that they are using. I'll definitely go back there again with my GF's car.

I don't like that uncle attitude, but I will go back just for the after sales service and cheaper price

Too bad I don't have a second car so hopefully no need to go back there anymore

my top speed on my m3 CKD is 193 km/h GPS speed, no performance mod, some owner gone even higher to 220km/h, i think the speed cut should be 220km/h, where you get the top speed of 180km/h? the brochure?

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 smile.gif

Hi thanks guys for reply me.
Yup, yesterday I was come back from KL to Penang. I try performance on highway. 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?

from what i knew, the boot damper is for hatchback, sedan is using spring, and majority of m3 on the road is sedan

and the computer problem is for diesel engine which is not available for m3 in malaysia (yet)

There were 3 units of M3 Hatch Back pre-owned at the Mazda Pre-owned car center (next to Mazda Glenmarie Showroom where the Carnival sales end just over the weekend).

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.

If your budget is really below 100k, your current best choice would be a Honda City. Hands down.

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.

Opt for Llumar crystal 6. Rm300 diff with the entry level T4-50

Was thinking the M3 HS interior is black and leather so rm300 diff would be good investment... Haha

Did you encounter squcking sounds from your Mazda 3 sky active every time you pass by kerb or bump on the road during rainy day? Anybody can recommend me sc which can resolve this problem. I told my regular sc about this problem, in fact they had change the part which they call bush bump 5 to 6 times but the problem still happening. Kinda sien with the solution they gave me. Another year I'm running out of warranty and I'm not sure will sc or Mazda cover this after end of warranty.

Please help

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

M3 2017 for Malaysia is estimated around 3rd Quarter or 4th Quarter 2017 (looks more likely to be end of 2017).

Hi guys,

Anyone with BM model facing issue with air cond musty smell ? ( smells like wet cloth or death cockroaches )
The smell is very noticeable when turning on the air cond for first 15 seconds then it goes away after few minutes.

Apparently it has to do with mold build up inside air cond cooling vents / evaporative coils.

Old timer method.... put some charcoal inside the car for the musty smell
As for the cockroaches, leaving pandan leaves inside the car.
Try and see if it helps.

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.

dont upgrade, 19 inch look nice but will degrade the performance especially the OEM rims due to heavier weight

if you got the budget then go for lighter sport rims

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..

i thought going up one inch would give better grip and i like dark rims. my car is silver and the silver alloy rim does not look that good.
and i love the mazda 6 gun metal rim (dark colored rim).
this is the reason why i wanted to change.
if i buy an non oem rim i wont sell off my original oem rims so i think need to fork out more for the lighter non oem rims
i thought pushing my oem and getting another oem rim in return.
my tyres are still new (10 months old car only)

but i am confuse whether is it worth it or not. thats y wanted ask what you guys think about it

Oh..

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

lighter rims will have better acceleration

if you want black rims can just spray the current 18" to black and it will look good, i wouldn't recommend to upgrade to 19"

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.

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..

you can adjust the headlight level yourself

the level is not even is normal for ALL cars, driver side is lower to prevent blinding oncoming cars
