SA straight away told me, give me cash and myself figure out what to do with it.

In a sense, I like him because he is damn straight forward. Anyway, soul red no ETA. i can only wait now.

Yesterday varta guy check mine old battery life left 50% & cca306 only. New varta 115D23L check 100% & cca900 after travel awhile notice triangle error msg battery management & istop blinking auto reset.

Anyone looking for Varta Q85? Both 95D23L and 115D23L also got.

Want upgrade to S95 also can, but heat shield need to DIY a new one as it is 3cm longer.

You are booking ahead for 2018 manufactured car ?
From which SA please ?

My SA from johor, now I dilemma, found another SA from PJ offer 2017 GVC with minimum rm2000 discount. Felt like cancelling current order.

M3 no news when Soul Red will release.

Was considering deep crystal blue now.

i bought non -gvc high spec with 10k rebate in sept

Well done, you know where to poke 😅

Hello, I just get my Mazda 3 yesterday but found out both headlight got moisture inside.

Besides, the tyre very noisy when drive in highway.

Is it normal?

S95 can fit? I saw the battery holding pan, one of the edge of S95 size battery will likely sit on the lip of the battery pan, at a slightly slanted position.

Headlight moisture will go off within a month.

This car is well known for less than optimal insulation compared to competitors, hence the road and tyre noise, need to live with it. Or if you have money to spare, can consult those accessory shop to apply additional insulation.

Actually it's on borderline, but quite a hassle to fit in. Maybe not so worth the effort as you mentioned. Mazda perhaps really overlooked the requirement this time.

Now that Q85 has 115D23L, hopefully it lasted better.

DIN60-ish size AGM would be a good upgrade, just that need to cut a small square on both sides of the battery heat shield for both the battery cable to drop in, since DIN battery posts are sunken in.

where from bro?

No mazda didn't overlook this, in fact i believe this is done on purpose for cost reasons. If can slot in S95, really can bump up the battery life.

115D23L seems like not available here, unless you got contact selling it.

AGM would last really well if placed on the boot/rear of the car. My mum's car is like that, only went through one maintenance charge few months ago on year 3 of ownership. Still cranks with vigour, compared to my old unit which went through monthly maintenance charge.

115D23L is available bro, now on intro price. 95D23L price reduced. IF you have anybody looking for it, perhaps can look for me.

AGM is definitely another class, hopefully soon they will make it into more JIS sizes, currently only have NS40 (B19/B20) from Varta Korea, made for JDM Fit Hybrid, and Grace.

Too bad i just replaced mine few months ago, was looking high and low for 115d23 size to no avail. In the end just settled for amaron hi life pro range.

road n tire noise common, change quieter tire

or get some soundproofing job done, since it is for a long term use

Guys I'm planning to repaint my car.
Too many paint chips from driving on highway.

Any good service providers that sifus here can recommend to me??

I was told that after March 2018, Bermaz will bring back M3 CBU to Malaysia.

Means that the red color will be available and also price might increase by RM10k .

I wondered if anyone have similar information or my SA just hyping it up?

no la , cx-5 CKD already painted in soul red crystal , meaning currently our malaysia plant able to produce soul red crystal , just that currently they focus on producing cx-5 , rush for cny also i guess, so i guess march they only start produce soul red crystal m3

from what i heard, they are pushing out cx5 for export as well. so that explained why they are not bothered producing any m3 red yet.

i noticed that m3 rims are ugly if compared to m2 or cx-series. i like glossy titanium gray color on those car.

same , i m eyeing gun metal rim, but too bad cost ard 3-4k , guess i stick with normal rim first
