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?

128k? Was there a price hike recently? Supposed to be 125k including insurance if not mistaken.

If you drive for longer distance to charge up the battery more it may not appear back. For me it comes on when I don't use my car for a couple of days. If I use daily no problem.

Also important to check the electrolyte levels if you're not using maintenance free batteries.

mine initially is 8.5l/100 or 9l/100, after a while now it was able to maintain less than 8.0L/100, not sure is it because of my driving behavior changed or i dropped my tires pressure from 40 psi to 37 psi

i usually avoid those Taman road and kampung road as well as traffic jam that require frequent stop and go

Actually you'll get better fuel consumption with higher tyre pressure. Maybe your driving style became more sedate tongue.gif

agree, even if they don't have the knowledge or not sure about it, being in the service line, to provide good service, should clarify with their expert, find out and get back to customer.

IMHO, that's the expectation of consumer nowadays, or at least that's my expectation.

Actually not to defend the sales advisors, but it's kind of hard for them to openly acknowledge flaws of their products in a public forum. They may be more open when approached in person.

User feedback is usually more reliable.

ok, maybe company terms and conditions restrict them, this I understand.
but SA did told me they know what are the common problems for existing model and they have all the spare parts stock ready but didn't mention about permanent solution.
*
Not sure about other issues but for the lower arm bush, a new part was introduced in April. Hopefully this fixes the noise when going over bumps in wet weather. I have this installed but haven't been driving enough lately.

If your dogs already have the habit of biting/scratching the cars, your new car will not be spared. But if the dogs don't have this habit, you're pratically fine. My neighbour in front of me has dogs and they drive mercedes, their car is pretty much in pristine condition till now.

For tinting, just look for those reputable brands (3M, vkool, llumar, raytech, etc), those unknown local brands are best to be avoided.

Probably the same batch as mine, likely to have the noisy suspension issue.
Yes, it is a redesigned part with new part number, they no longer produce those annoying sounds. I got mine changed the 2nd time with the new version not too long ago.

Now mine left with the other suspension knocking sound.....
*
Suspension knocking sound as in the thunk when you go over a tall round speed bump? Mine went away by itself.

The bush we shall wait and see since my initial noise only started 6 months after I got the car.
