And mazda now is heading to premium path. Can see from external look and internal build materials. All very premium & plush. Impossible to price same as toyota and honda (hard plastics everywhere in cabin, not premium at all).
So must price higher than toyota and honda lah. Mazda trying to be a class above mainstream brands but a class lower than luxury/premium brands, blurring mainstream & luxury lines.  This strategy could make them successful by selling every car with higher profit margin since their manufacturing capabilities are smaller than other common mainstream brands.
If cant produce big quantities, how about produce every car with better quality!
Mazda = budget Lexus/Audi/BMW/Mercedez.
Mazda = for those who want to drive premium cars but not enough money to buy real Lexus/Audi/BMW/Mercedez.
Mazda = don't want to buy toyota & honda because too boring to look at since they are everywhere on the roads. Mahu muntah tengok.
Mazda = drives better than toyota & honda, feeling special than others😁😉

I agree, I read somewhere that this is where they want to focus on. They know they can't compete with the likes of Honda and Toyota in terms of the scale. So they aim to cater those who don't want the mainstream/cheaper cars and the expensive conti cars.

With this pricing, Mazda 3 will sit right at the sweet spot between mainstream and luxury cars.

I'll be getting my M3 this June.

Now I've been thinking of doing 2 hardcore thing.

1. Tweak the Mazda console so I can use Android Auto.
2. Using ELM327/Forscan and modify the code so I can enable auto-lock and few other things. (I know OBD can do this as well)

Did anyone do this as well?

I think with what I do above, there's 50-50 my warranty going to void lol.
*
Did you do the autolock thing with OBD in the end? Did you check whether warranty will be void or not?

Managed to speak to the sales assistant in the Mazda showroom based in Puchong Jaya and the prices quoted are:

1) Mazda 3 2.0 litre hatchback (high spec): RM157k
2) Mazda 3 2.0 litre sedan (high spec): RM147k
3) Mazda 3 1.5 litre hatchback (base model): RM137k

No details on the specifications of each of the models are available yet until the official launch which is sometime in July 2019.

Also, when asking when will the 2019 model be ready for test drive, the agent said estimate around August 2019.
*
That's around RM20k price hike for the 2.0 Sedan HS compared to the outgoing model!

Actually considering the heavy tax for CBU you are getting value for money although I consider many items to be over-engineered.

For example, do they need to do so much engineering for the  arm rest:

I agree on the over-engineering part... The current Mazda 3 armrest is already comfy enough for me.

My painful reflect on civic 1.5 road tax(RM90 per year) vs mazda 3 2.0(RM379 per year).

Difference in RM289 which more or less the same as one minor service.

Civic 1.5 output(173hp) is better than mazda3 2.0 output(162hp).

There are people said power is not everything. Yes and No. You get 1.5 with turbo from civic. But you get na 1.5 engine from mazda 3 1.5cc.

173hp vs 114hp. You do the math. Civic turbo is good in fuel consumption too(12L/100km with mixture of city and highway).

I'm not saying civic is better than mazda 3 as we need to see what Bermaz offer.
*
Mazda free service for 3 - 5 years bro (depending on when u bought the car).
Honda one time u service already cover that RM289 difference.
Not everything is about HP - you try to drive both and see which one you prefer. There are pros and cons for each car
Having said that... the 1.5L mazda 3 is really overpriced shakehead.gif

Hi guys,

Saw a few 2017 and 2018 M3 models on dealeeship sites, from 78k onwards.

In terms of car performance, will I be missing much compared to 2019?

Does it make sense to go for a 3yo M3? (planning to get a ride in early 2020)

2019 model uses torsion beam
But nicer interior and NVH

Previous generation NVH cannot compare with similar competitor like the civic, altis, sylphy. It is not bad, just not as good. Compounded by the really harsh sounding factory fitted tyres (especially for high spec 18in). Even new gen vios seems to be slightly better. You get the gist...if not just go test drive yourself on a familiar route with your favourite music or radio channel.

2019 new generation much improved, almost segment leading. Still the same shitty harsh factory fitted tyres but that can be easily rectified with a tyre swap in due time.

I thought the new model comes with Bridgestone Turanza, which is more towards comfort/quieter?

Hi everyone. I just got myself a 2018 ckd high spec mazda 3. I am interested to get 3 additional features which are the autolock, lock fold/unfold side mirror, and front parking sensor. Any recommended shop i can do those, while maintaining my warranty? Of course, at a reasonable price. Shops in KL/selangor is fine.  smile.gif

Those will definitely void ur warranty

Any Mazda3 BM owner here? Was chatting with a workshop boss yesterday and sorta trashed that car lol. He said that the air-cond has and endless issue and the car is "petty" in a way. He also said that the wear and tear parts are pretty flimsy though the car is new.

Any owners here can rectify such claim? Some say new Mazdas nowadays maintenance costs are similar to conti car. The battery itself for Mazda3 is about 800?

Please tell us the workshop name so we can avoid in the future

Hi all Mazda 3 sifu. Maybe this is a silly question but I want to ask all sifu, do you guys cover windscreen damage insurance? If so, how much the sum insured? I driving 2018 Mazda 3 GVC version. Thanks.

If you want to include tint, then better to go for 3k.
2.1 k is just enough for replacement without tint

2015 onwards for the 3rd generation Mazda 3 Sedan and Hatchback.
I was in a similar boat as you as i liked the hatchback variant over the sedan model mostly because of the overall size but eventually settled for the 2018 CKD sedan after searching for awhile.

You can try Prima Merdu Sdn Bhd for pre-owned Mazda cars (near to the Mazda showroom in Shah Alam).

How much did you buy your 2018 CKD sedan for?

It was going for RM98k for a 6 month old/13km mileage 2018 CKD high spec model. A great deal if you ask me since you save about RM30k +/- off the retail price.
*
Oh you bought it in 2018 when it was 6 months old! Quite a surprise someone is selling it after just 6 months - is it a test drive unit (based on the 13k km mileage).
