Did you ask your SA?

I think the waiting time will be much shorter than the other siblings..CX3 and CX5.

Maybe 1 month+?

Yes indeed , she told me that it will be available by end of Nov, but I have doubt that because other SA mentioned it roughly only can get it by early of Jan 2019, maybe it depend on allocate of production based on branches. May need opinion from others who ordered during this period

Depends on the colour. The cars are produced in batches by colour.

Hey guys, appreciate some opinion here.

I just recently sold off my Mazda 2, the previous gen. 2010 year. Currently moving back to West Malaysia.

Looking forward to buy a Ford fiesta Ecoboost version but came across Mazda 3 hatchback. I know Mazda 3 should be compared to focus but my budget is below 50k for used car.

Question is how well the Mazda 3 drives against the fiesta in terms of performance and handling. I would say I'm a heavy footer and tend to cut alot. Mostly will be using for highway. Would a m3 1.6 be enough for my use?

Should I get a fiesta ~40k, Mazda 3 2.0 ~42k, Mazda 3 1.6 35k?

You should get a Mazda 3 2.0. A Mazda 3 1.6 is not powerful enough for your driving style.

The fiesta ecoboost is a fun car to drive but require higher investment in time, energy and money to maintain.

Thanks for the reply. Had to opt out fofi Ecoboost due to the possible higher maintenance as well.

Any common issues for the older m3? Anything to note when checking for used unit?

Looking forward to the launch of the all new Mazda 3. I hope Mazda will produce an MPS variant with the 2.5 turbo engine.

Hi all, my fren is selling his recent win a brand new Mazda 3 white highspec sedan, let me know if anyone interested, price is def lower than retail price, serious buyer only, thanks

damn i have this since day 1 collecting my car on 2017 september ! you have the solution? went back to sc but the sound isnt there and then they say dunno the issue , fuck.....

Lately there is sound coming from the LCD display whenever the car go through bumpy road... seems like its loose inside. Anyone experience this?

Been smelling petrol outside my car after performing 60km service about 2 weeks ago. Will send for a check tomorrow. I suspect there's a leak somewhere.

Meanwhile, any of you guys have experienced this?

With the i30n possibly coming to Malaysia as Sime Darby is displaying it in KLIMS18 to gauge public interests . Would Mazda want to fight with what is the current potential king of hot hatch killer?

That is the question of whether an MPS version will exist or not with stiff competition from Japan in the form of Civic Type R and i30n from Korea.

Apple Carplay and Android Auto now available for older Mazda cars.

I wonder if Bermas will make it available to Mazda owners here.

It's been out for awhile. Gradual introduction in Malaysia too.. So question should be how much they'll charge to retrofit..

Was at Bermaz Glenmarie this morning. Asked them if there is availability of Android Auto or Apple Carplay available in Malaysia, no comments from SA.

So I guess we just have to wait for the official channel in MY or just retrofit the infotainment.

Hi guys, where do can I buy original parts at good price for DIY oil change for my Mazda 3? Warranty period is over

Not at the foreseeable near future. Resources are mostly locked into the SPCCI engine development, hybridisation of their current powertrain lineup and their mysterious hybrid rotary.

It is just business logic to do whatever is profitable.

Why make a souped up hatch just when 2% of the market will actually buy it. They should know their game well enough.

Mazda as a corporation would love to have the MPS on the market, it creates publicity and eyeballs.

But being a small corporation compared to peers, they just won't have the resources have pet projects like this which not only suck resources, but could potentially bring them losses.

But the sensible tuner in us know that just plonk in the 2.5T version of the skyactive engine in CX9. The engine bay is big enough to accomodate it as the long tube exhaust extractor gives lots of space. Can stuff someone's head in empty space between the engine block and firewall at a squeeze, a turbo snail won't be a problem.

Obviously, money first. Aspirations later.

The previous MPS was also a CX7 motor if i am not wrong?

Aftermarket mods, anything goes. Even a 4-rotor setup.
