Checked with AIG, agreed value for 2015 HS is only 88k ! That's a lot of difference considering i bought it 125k last year. How much do you all insure your car for 2nd year?

berjaya insured 110k for 125K HS 2015..

Hi guys,

Would like to check with you guys whether did you guys encounter any issue for mazda3 HS if lets say you drive at highway during highspeed like around 160km/h onwards the RVM on the passanger will light up eventhough there are no motor or car bhind which is coming.

I just tested mine at klia 2 highway and at a speed of 190km/h and the RVM keep light up like about each 10 sec once and it only lights up on my passanger side even i tried to flip my side mirror still having the same issue.

Need some advise from you guys.

It depends on the side object, sometimes mine will light on but not as what you said. I suggest you head over to SC to get it check.

And fyi, the Blind spot monitor radar sensor is located @ the side of the rear bumper not side mirror.

anyone that is owning White color face this issue?
Body and bumper different color.

I have polish and wax still the same. I suspect that Mazda body part did not do a good job in terms of color matching.

Almost once a month I maintain the paint with meguiares ultimate wax and spray wax sad.gif

I notice some CX-5 white also experiencing the same issue but not on other makes even perodua

How was the mirror sound resolved?
This is the effect of water based paint and clear coat, friendlier to the environment but a little softer than what you get from the continentals.
This one is quite an issue, as i also see such examples for those in singapore.

Different materials should never be the issue, as base coat will be sprayed on the surface before the actual coloured paint. Besides, can you find any car that doesn't use some kind of plastic/fibreglass for the bumpers?

Machine may have some effect, but my haunch is that the batch of paint mix wasn't as accurate as the original factory mix. Most likely due to outsourcing the work to 3rd parties....a serious quality sore point considering much better quality control procedures/techniques/technology against the past.

Complaining locally won't fix the problem as new batch of cars in the showrooms are still showing this issue even when brand new. Most likely need to escalate to the folks in Japan to look into their contractors' process that paint the bumpers...

From, proton to perodua to toyota to hyundai to honda, these were the cars that my family used before for the pass 20+ years, and none had this issue like the current Mazda.  vmad.gif

Definitely some minus marks when selling off the car as will likely undergo another repaint job....

But still, paint aside, i'm pretty satisfied owning this car. Avoided a few accidents due to its handling prowess  wub.gif

What colour do you own? I certainly do agree that the paint is not painted at the same place. This seriously a big issue where you can see two different color tone. Even a 30k proton saga does not face this issue for their solid white. Therefore, Im thinking to respray the whole car since white paint is cheap. Heck even I notice aluminum metallic having this issue. The only color that is acceptable would be meteor Grey and reflex blue.

Mine is the reflex blue mica, also same problem la, aluminum not so obvious but noticeable without trying too hard....seems like only soul red not affected....

Wow even reflex blue have this issue. But there is one reflex blue nearby my office but it did not have this color issue though. hmm.gif
as for soul red, at certain angle you can see different shade of red.

Im thinking to respray the bumper by matching the body color at least the cost is not expensive vs whole body. shakehead.gif

For CBU owner with snowflake white pearl vs CKD solid white. Which of these white do you think is better looking?
From my observation, the solid white has more glossy effect vs snowflake white pearl. hmm.gif

Hi all M3 owner, I believe a lot of you have change the tyre from 215/45 Toyo to 225/45 any brand, please share what brand is good. That day a tyre shop offer me Michelin 225/45 for RM 560, he said is promotion price.. I find it hard to believe, cause this tyre would cost Rm700 - RM 800 right? Please share if any experience on this..

It is PS3, is this usual price?

should be around this price BUT be vary with the tires production date though, as PS4 is newer and cost more 100 extra.
You may want to consider PS4 (if you willing to add 100 per pcs). So far I had used for about 800km, overall very good under
wet surface and rainy conditions. flex.gif

The ATF-FZ for Skyactiv transmission is just only RM120++ for 4 Liters. I had changed mine at 1,000km and 30,000km. Regardless lifetime or given interval, with just RM120++, it can prolong your transmission for many years to come. In fact, I had been practicing to change the ATF every 20,000-30,000km on my previous car. The transmission has no problem until I sold off that car at over 200,000km with aggressive driving.

Just get it change on your upcoming service. icon_rolleyes.gif

Do take note as well upon reaching 100k km, do change the filter as well... that will cost around RM600++ with labour.

Anybody install aftermarket alarm system? I am looking to install cabin motion sensor which is absent for Mazda and to retain the stock alarm system. Not into viper or extra features. Any recommendation? Honda has ultrasonic and Toyota too. Looking for this system.
