If ur aiming for ignite make sure u have the money for full front ppf and coating.
Otherwise prepare to be heartbroken with all the piak piak on highways stonechipping and assholes open doors and whack your car or girls handbag scratchey when walk past.
Ur budget cannot be just for car alone.
just curious, is a budget of 8k sufficient to do a full front PPF (brand like Xpel) + tint (any brand will do as long as security film with acceptable reduction in heat from sunlight) + internal ppf without coating? because after much research, i think coating is a waste of money, when i can buy some better quality mass market coat (around RM 150 - 200 product) instead of a few k coating to have the same effect, though I may need to be slightly more hardworking to keep reapplying after a few months.

How about the other end of the spectrum? Totally no coat or ppf. Just monthly wax. Then come time to 5th year ownership just respray whole car
you can watch this from 18:00 minutes onward. See which category are you, as long as you happy with it i am the 4th category who just want my car to look pristine as long as possible.
From the argument here, i feel most are in 3rd category, who are fine with stone chips on their car until the next respray of the car. Assuming you are fine that right off you get your new car off the showroom, you get a stonechip, you are fine with it for 2-3 years time, until you have collect enough "battle damaged trophies" to respray your car, or sell your car.

what the heck isn't this automachi? this info itself is already different from the article they have on their own site AFAIK only another similar chinese site auto123 posted similar details, mentioning about having the same bodykit as Mazda 3 Turbo, but even that doesn't say all round 360 cam
this caster read wrong news site isit? or the guy also just read from mazda 吹水站 topkek
PS: wait, I just went back to the auto123 site, they did mention 2022 "normal" variant having 360 cam and no mention of black rims, I think confirmed this caster read wrong site
ok, confirmed their mistake, 360 is not available in all variants

went to a mall, and saw a mazda 3 LB parking there, went to inspect it up close. Find that the overall design is too feminine for my liking, so i stick with my sedan
Initially booked Sedan H+ too, but heard that only 4/5 Sedan came to whole Malaysia last month, so upgraded to Ignite instead. 360 isn't as bad as I expected tho, so I accept the 9k add-on la. Hoping to get it this month? (finger-crossed)
wish the best for u, unfortunately i am not fond with liftback, so i only wait for sedan
