Is it just my car or the paint gets scratched off damn easily?

Water based material, not as strong as the old school chemical based materials. What to do....environmental/sustainability concerns mar.....

Have to agree that the clear coat also not so thick/strong, but most modern bread and butter japanese brands also pretty similar. Get an automotive film stuck on your front bonnet and bumpers.

does coating really helps ? need current owner give opinion on coating , is the money well spent ?

No wonder. So many random scratches all over the car

Even when i used my finger nails try to scratch off some dirt end up causing more scratches.

If want to maintain/enhance the lustre/shine, water beading effect, yes coating helps. For protection against chipping, totally no, no matter what hardness level they advertised. Best way is apply automotive based film/wrap.

Even with such a physical layer of film/wrap, still can suffer some chipping; you think mere coating can really "protect"?

ok normally coating effect last how long, 3 years ? 5 years ?

Need to ask other car owners who actually does that, i don't know.

just to share...

i have got these two particular "suspension noise"

1) ngek ngek noise when go through higher speed bumps, during wet road conditions -

2) "kruk kruk" sound when going through uneven roads, very soft only noticeable when turned off the speakers. but somehow annoying. Is this the famous kruk kruk sound that most of you have with the suspension?

my car only 7k mileage, less than half year old...didn't expect these appear so fast lol..

So yours must be the facelift GVC Mazda 3. I thought they may have done something about it.

My car also has 1) but didn't notice 2). Personally they are minor complaints which I wouldn't worry about.

Hi

There's 9k rebate for non GVC model.worth to get it now?

Civic 1.8 vs this one

Hmmm...

The non-GVC Mazda 3 is still an amazing car and definitely worth getting. However you should bargain with your SA for more rebate as RM9K is on the low side.

Hullo !

Anyone here using Continental MC6 tires for their ride, since they have our stock size 215/45/18 ? Appreciate some feedback if you do

Cheers

Walao I thought 9k high already. So how high I can bargain?

unless u got showroom car then handsome price , but showroom car macam left hb

The non-GVC model is already 1 year old. RM9K where got enough? 1 year depreciation already RM20K.

Agree and good benchmark.

May i know which sc? Mazda 3 battery same as mazda 2 right
.. Kena quote 700+
