service interval is same like typical japanese car, not much different even though it uses more advanced engine tech and more electronics

Congrats on the choose.
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. 
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.

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

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

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

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.

I'm using Llumar Diamond 6 now. So far so good. It's still hot if park under the sun for whole day but it is fast to get cold after air-con on.

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 :-)

You seriously get a big load offer 
Good for you.

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.

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

went to sales carnival today for the lucky draw, girl infront og me got rm3k...lucky....while i get only rm500 LOL

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

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.
