Fellow M3 owners, i still 50-50 on buying a Mazda3, the model i m looking at now is the High plus lift back aka hatchback, cost around RM156K
1. based on mazda tradition, will there be facelift or improve version in 2022 or any time soon?
[Possible the facelifted model will be here next year]

2. i still not managed to do a test drive, only research online, the GVC+, are u really feel it when u entering corner? some tester mention the impact is so small until u dont really feel it compared to MB 4matic etc...(i read online only so i m not sure of this)
[4matic and GVC+ is different, I do feel some of its effect while cornering or driving in b road]

3. Do u get discount for booking? Which sales centre? I m in KL/Klang valley
[0 discount, Bermaz PJ. However, manage to get slightly higher price for my previous car trade in]

4. Any free gift? Do u use those voucher like tint/ wrap/ coating provided by the SA
[Key chain and the silicone key case]

5. What other enhancement need to get after getting the car? i see a lot of comment mentioned to get it coated/ wrap to minimize stonechip etc. And some mentioned need to install dashcam, or change the original tyre to PS4....
[Depending on your own needs, I've only install protective film on all the internal panel]

6. i went to 2 showroom before, both SA never follow up after i view the car in their showroom, wanted to ask them further question also feel like if i dont book u dont ask kinda feeling...if u have good SA, please intro
[I've a pleasant experience dealing with my SA, drop me a PM if you need contact]

Note: i m driving a FC now, recently i think i m addicted to hothatch.....

Anyone knows if the skytint films that are tinted on Mazda imported from Japan are being done in Japan or it’s done in kulim when the car reaches Malaysia?

I am getting 2 different versions. To me it make more sense to be done in Japan rather than when it reaches the port then haul to the kulim plant to get it tinted or maybe they just tint it somewhere near the port when it reaches Malaysia…

I believe it's tinted locally by GS Accessories, I complain there's bubble in one of my side windows, Mazda send it back there to retint during the first service.

Thanks for the info, saw your signature stated that you also upgraded from Honda City GM6, may I know is Mazda 3 seating position lower than City? Especially when going in/out from the car, cause saw people mentioned that Mazda 3 is quite low.

Caused I actually placed booking for CX30 since Nov 2022 because I wanted a car with stop & go, but all the while I actually like Mazda 3 more, then until now I saw your reply which stop & go upgrade is possible now, so I m thinking whether wanna switch my booking to Mazda 3 or not 😅

I own both City GM6 and Mazda 3, the seating position is about the same unless you set your seat really low.

Hop on to my friend's Civic FE last week, the seating position definitely seat lower than Mazda 3.

did they tell you what other items are included in the RM740.00 - i assume there are parts to be replaced as well but get an itemized quotation from them.

some people in the Mazda3 group recommends Vcarbon Auto Repair Services, apparently they also do walnut blasting decarbonizer.
care to share a picture for us to determine how bad are the scratches?

if it's not too bad, you can pick up a touch up pen from Mikstore, it's not perfect but it's the closest paint color match that i can currently find on the market (mine's Polymetal Gray).

unless the scratch is very obvious and that you cannot ignore, i'd advise you to forget about it because if you have the entire door panel resprayed then high chances are you are going to see a bigger difference in color (with the resprayed panel looked darker) but if you NEED to do it then apparently a few recommends HONG Y AUTO PAINT.

Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, as much as I can, I do not want to respray the panel.

Luckily managed to buff off the scratches with some meguiars compound. As for the dent, sent my car to Dent Pro, Johnny managed to resolve with PDR.

If it is torsion beam, I do not think Mazda 3 is worth buying

Go give it a test drive, might change your perception.
