YO, I just got mine 2.0 white last week... and I skidded today    Can GVC work with safety bar? considering adding it....

Also, I am looking for seat belt stopper clip, those like hanger 1.... any good accessory shop recommend so that I can go shopping?

Yes,the showroom unit is 2018 version ,total millage 141 KM (I think is very low)

tatal discount = RM 5.8K

But is a showroom car ,not test drive car.

Urs 4K discount from which branch ya??

Seems unlikely to have huge discount now. I just asked 1.5 months ago and not a single cent discount was given. Even those who opt for showroom car also given minimal discount.
Having lusted the car over few years, I decided a wiser choice is to follow my brain instead of heart and get another car instead, considering that there is no discount for outgoing model, and expecting the new model to cost even more.
Bet I am going to envious of those who drive the new Mazda 3 few months down the road, but I guess my wallet wouldn't permit it just yet

What are the reasons for not liking the new M3?
Initially I thought the outgoing model looked similar, until a side by side comparison is shown. I was like woah, the outgoing model looks really dated.
I am looking at Civic now given its similar price point and the need for passenger's comfort (as much as I like M3, it will not be as comfortable for my family to sit behind), and the Raya discount isn't too bad.

Found some offering RM4.5k to RM5k discount now across all variants. Not too bad considering how the car price has dropped compared to when it first launched (RM135k vs RM128k SRP)

I had been checking Mazda Anshin website on daily basis but they did not have stock for M3. Maybe you can try your luck there if you don't mind pre-owned

Mazda want to keep the car value that's y they die die also don't want to give discount

Yes, on top of 128k, so you may want to consider test driving both cars to decide

Wanna get recommrndation:

Which one will you choose abd why?

1) Mazda 3, latest 2019 version, full spec - RM160k

2) Mazda 3, manufactured in 2019, previous generation, full spec - RM120k(promo price)

3) Mazda CX 5 2.0, full spec - RM142k

Purpose: Mid 30s, single, own drive

CX 5 seems spacious and more comfortable

Mazda 3 2.0 High, Full spec

Pre owned

Year made - 2019

Reg year - 2019

Sonic silver

Under Mazda 5 years warranty and 5 years free maintenance

RM103k

Worth to take?

that's about the reported HP on paper so no surprise there (i assumed you are referring to the 1.5 litre engine) and how much HP are you expecting Mazda to extract out of a 1.5 litre engine :confused:

the difference between the 1.5 and 2.0 can only REALLY be felt when the cars are doing straights otherwise they both drive relatively similar because instead of slapping on the same gear ratios for different engine variants like all other car manufacturers do, Mazda actually gives the 1.5 a different final gear ratio.

do you mind sharing the link to the said dyno test? should be an interesting read / watch .

115whp from a 2.0 litre engine is very close to a 30% output loss and assuming that the loss is consistent through the same chassis then this would mean the 1.5 litre only has 80whp (which definitely doesn't feel like so).

i don't see in any of the 2 links where it shows the dyno charts / results which shows the WHP is at 109. do you mind pointing me to the right direction?

odd numbers indeed because if the actual WHP reading is only 109, that would mean the engine loses almost 35% of its bhp to parasitic seepages which is very very bad and given the reputation that MAZDA engineers are very particular in achieving cleaner / leaner burns, i don't think this is natural.

they literally invested and designed an engine from ground up just to have an engine that is 15% more efficient therefore having a 35% parasitic loss on paper is just, counter intuitive for them.

though i cannot argue the numbers provided by the maker but i have my reserves. judging from the aftermarket tires itself, i'm sure that there is more modifications than meets the eye and it is proven for a fact that some modifications can bring more harm than good.
