Mazda 3 high spec (121k) or Honda Civic 1.5 TC-P (135k) or VW Jetta (133k)?
So hard to choose......

QUOTE(amduser @ Nov 12 2016, 10:42 PM) mid spec should be hatchback, base spec doesn't come with LED DRL, only halogen DRL (yellow light) Test drove 3 of them today. Jetta feels more responsive and more powerful maybe due to dsg? But interior so dull and old.test drive 3 of them and choose one that you like, i personally prefer the leather on m3 compare to civic which look low quality and less luxury compare to m3 but civic got more legroom forget about jetta, maintenance is gonna cost you more than the car value itself  Civic also quite powerful and interior looks ok to me. Like the instrument cluster though. Mazda 3 looks more premium and luxurious inside, at least for me. Power wise of course lose all the above but not too bad too and pretty responsive. Just the gearbox feels abit slow, maybe the feeling of after test drove the jetta LOL However, jetta feels more solid, can definitely feel the door harder and heavier. Mazda 3 not too far behind in this department. Civic feels more like milo tin. Too light Read from paultan that Mazda will bring the facelift Mazda 3 next year? Should i wait? |

QUOTE(amduser @ Nov 13 2016, 10:14 AM) no news on the facelift version in malaysia yet, it has some upgraded features like nicer steering wheel and colored HUD What is the cause of that sound in Mazda 3?DSG is the fastest shifting gearbox and also the less reliable and higher maintenance compare to others, m3 is still using torque converter with clutch, which is bloody reliable and can sustain high operation temperature compare to dsg and cvt, for a torque converter with that shifting speed i would said is already consider very fast if you compare with other torque converter we got the "kruk-kruk" and "ngek-ngek" soud also  the sound seems to come back again yesterday when drive through heavy rain |

QUOTE(amduser @ Nov 14 2016, 01:02 PM) then i not sure la, because i see cx-5 and m2 also got that yellow halogen drl This happen to CBU unit? or CKD unit? Is there anyway to solve this issue? Might book 1 before 2016 ends if nothing major issue...when pass through bump the front suspension will have "kruk kruk" sound 1st "kruk" is the spring compress when the front wheel is at the peak of the bump 2nd "kruk" is when the front wheel passed the bump and land on the road causes the spring to compress so i assume that the "kruk" sound is caused during the spring compression the "ngek ngek" sound is when the drive shaft or CV joint is wet and when cross the bump it will replace the "kruk kruk" sound it wont affect the performance of the car, still can touge and speed as usual http://mazda3revolution.com/forums/attachm...18&d=1399565572 |
