Hi all,

Just wanna rant abit disappointingly.
TBH I was looking to purchase a new car in the upcoming few months and have shortlisted 2 models them being the infamous civic x and Mazda 3. Started as one of the fence sitter and slightly interested towards the mazda3, I was waiting for this new model to hit the road to for me to compare. While the civic x is flooding on the road I still see no sign of the new Mazda 3 until today and it was the grey color model. And man I am disappointed. I really liked the interior and other specs of the car, and the only downfall for me is the new lights and DRL which is worst compared to the previous model and comparingly to their siblings the cx3 and even mazda2. They look weird when turned on as the new circle drl looked like an after market mod and not as bright as the rest. Such a turn off. Sigh. However this is my first sighting of the new Mazda 3 and maybe today's weather was abit gloomy therefore affected their optimum looks and brightness. Am looking forward to see more and compare again. Hopefully by that time I can come to accept it and join the proud owners here. *Sobbing away quietly* 😭

To me it's bright enough and they are gorgeous!
I've not seen any new model on the road too but saw a lot in SG.

Are you perhaps staying in Subang ?
The car I saw was probably yours if you do stay there. 😂

i think you're probably the first one who said so, in certain angle the DRL doesn't look as good as the non-gvc model, but at night time i would say the GVC DRL really win with that fierce look when view from front wub.gif wub.gif

for sure the DRL of other facelift model look gorgeous, but nevertheless, both look way better than the one on civic laugh.gif

and not to mention that the foglight of GVC mode is LED, way brighter and really light up the road unlike the stock foglight on pre-facelift

Hmm maybe it's just the DRL is not as attractive or comparable to the mazda2 and cx3 hence my disappointment. When I was looking at the new gvc from my rear mirror, the circle drl looks faint and abit like the previous Bmw e36/e92 angel light. If only the circle drl is split into few section and bright like the mazda2 and cx3 then it's perfect.

Well I still think we need to see more of them on the road to justify. Maybe the angle I saw wasn't the best

I understand, for some people, buying a car has an emotional dimension. And being emotional, sometimes certain flaws get amplified in our minds/heart.

How much we hope that you join our camp, if it really bothers you very much, look for other cars. Because you'll be stuck with the car for years, always feeling disturbed by a particular aspect, and being burdened on loan for something you don't fancy is just an unnecessary added emotional stress.

Thank you for your understanding and words of wisdom bro.😂

On a side note, has anyone changed their wipers to silicone ones? Any recommendations? Thinking of changing out the stock rubber
