I know it's a old model car.. but i like it.. the aeroback typed.. n im searching 1.. any1 have 1 to sell??

Any idea of this car? should i get 1.6 or 1.8??
Petrol consumption ok ar?? compare to other same CC car..
n bout the spare parts.. easy to gET?

Any Mazda Lantis owner here?? pls share ok??

Spare parts is a real pain. It's hard to look for and expensive too.

If u're buying an A/T, go for the 1.8 as the 1.6 A/T is really underpowered.

Fuel consumption is about the same as many other cars.

Yup, body parts are a pain the arse. Friend had it (the 1.6 auto) for 5 years, other problems were solved but watch for leaks (it's frameless, so check the frame seals). There are 2.0 V6 halfcuts, and rear cuts too - upgrade potential.

1.8 should be ok, but don't go for the 1.6 (A). Truly, his current W202 C220 (A) consumes less fuel than the 1.6 (A).

HuH? body part hard to find? I like the frameless door.
What is half cut n rear cut? sorry,i'm just too new on owning a car.
This will be my 1st car.

U mean upgrade it to 2.0 V6 will be better? can i just buy a 1.6(A) then upgrade it to 2.0 V6? how much it will cost roughly?

BTW,market price for a 97 1.8(A) around rm20k?

RM20k for the 1.8 (A) is cheap. I think no need to upgrade.

Half cut means front portion of the car which includes full engine parts. Some comes with dashboard and some doesn't.

the lantis 1.8 is good enough, sufficient b8 power.
but mind you the older mazda engines consumes bit more petrol, but gives out good power.

you can source out for half cuts & rear cuts, those are the vehicles that has encounter unsaveable accidents that causes them to be chopped of half of it's body. parts are quite rare, but can find. also not expensive, parts wise. however the popularity are increasing, so watchout for the prices.

Lantis is always a nice car...but its very old imo...not worth the maintenance..

You can get the Lantis & swap in a RE.

u mean the price will increase?

what is RE?

Rotary engine.

rX-7 engine?

Huhu...swap in a RE engine? u mean da engine used in RX-7 or RX-8 ah? thought da engine gonna more expensive than ur car

ya.. that's what im thinking

IMHO, maintenance wise is quite easy when you know to source out the engine parts. Quite the problem is with the bodypart, but the built is good so wear & tear is not very much of an issue, provided checked thoroughly b4 buying the vehicle. Some parts can mix & match with Mazda Familia Neo & even Ford Laser Lynx 4-door hatchback / sedan.
Chassis is very durable & not easily distorted, too. Once you own the vehicle you can check the car's stuff & issues with mazda / ford bros...

Just saying based on my experience & observation of a friend owning a ford lynx..
converted engine 3 times already... B8 180, B8 210, and now currently housing KF-ZE

i know about the Ford part.. i won't use mazda as it compared to ford's part
is quite a diff of $$ -.-!!

my dream car and still is. The shape is so slippery

ur dream car also aR??
i wan either dark or pure white..

i dont have lantis but i just want to share something..
i have friend in my hometown who drovr lantis..he painted it in orange..all orange..very beutifull..every chicks love to see him..(even he doesnt have good lookin)..he gave everything to his car and i can say it have been FULLY moded..the perfomance,the looks..but one day when he get stuck in traficc jam..he got some problem with the wirering..then his car start blow and burn in the fire..soo sad..but after in 4 years..i saw him qith the new BMW 3 series and of coz he moded almost everything..haiz..what a life

not worth it.. trust me..
i once had the sedan version...
1.8L.... parts are very difficult to get and maintainence is costly..
basic service any shop can do.. but major stuff if u have to go back to C&C, it'll cost u a bomb

the wiring problem cause the burning... wiring problem refers to the installer mar.. nt car problem izit?? maybe ur frenz install too many speakers... high power amp.. which i wont do it..

Added on April 28, 2007, 2:01 amhaizzz.. u are the 2nd person to tell me this car's maintainence is costly..
but i've met around 5 lantis's drivers.. they told me maintainence is ok wor.. -.-
really

Should I or Shouldn't I ????

despite it being old, the design, IMO, is still acceptable up to this date.
A simple mod with "attractive" and subtle skirtings would give its finest already.

My mistake, I forgot to mention earlier. SS15 is in Subang Jaya

My cousin's boyfriend has a Mazda Lantis 1.6, recently bought a 2.0 V6 halfcut. Seems quite sturdy although rust bubbles are starting to appear, but overall the car doesn't give him much problems.

cool.. but don think i will upgrade it to 2.0 v6.. petrol consumption sure kaoo.. n maintainence much higher...

hehehe.. me use 1.6 oni.. road tax ok, fuel ok.. no need upgarde la.. if u wanna install vtec, ok lor.. hahahaha...

1.8 auto w/o turbo... many said 1.6 not power enuff??
coz sometime hor.. wanna speed for awhile.. lolx.. especially nite time
i wont upgrade engine 1st.. outlook 1st.. haha..

i have been driving a Lantis for 3 years now and loving every moment. Of course there are the usual wear and tear issue but its not something no one can repair. Maintenance is expensive... i think that is over rated. Its not like maintaining a Proton but its not gonna cost you a bomb either.

There are plenty of chop shop with Lantis part around town (i mean PJ, Subang and KL). I just found a air-con compressor for RM150. I think a Proton air-con compressor cost around that too...

Lantis and Ford Lynx (as with most Ford and Mazda in this country) are mechanical twins, so for most Ford's part will fit nicely.

If you are bored with your 1.6 or 1.8, there is the K-series engine available for upgrade. Most common is the KFZE which is 2.0 V6. This is a really sweet engine and the upgrade cost is cheaper than most Honda.

Not everything is sweet with this car though... the frameless window can sometime be a little nuisance... after years of abuse, there are alway the issue of gaps when you close the door. There are simple solution to this. hop over to the local Lantis forum to meet and learn more about the Lantis.

Bottom line is do some research and then decide. Enjoy.

Just to share, some shots of my friend's previous Lantis (now in the hand of someone else).
He had the sunroof installed due to rust started to appear on the roof.
So the first thing you gonna check when getting used Lantis would be the roof.


How much was the sunroof? Quite cheap at RM500.

Ya la..if u really like the car..go for it.

might be... parts especially. but still cheap. Some even cheaper than protongs. last time my pren bought head B8 gasket for RM40? WTF cheap? mine 4G93 is around RM100 if not mistaken...

sedan wan is quite rare... but lantis hatchback & ford hatchbacks got wan ler...

Added on April 28, 2007, 2:01 am
quite... if layan traffic jam no good. But highway cruise with around 170hp does worth it...
maintenance? same oni I believe, even the V6 design is a bit diff. normal V6 still got 4 cam pulleys, this one 2 oni... haha... damned I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that. Feel like slapping *ss....

hey bro, do you happen to know a friend of mine drives a renault blue Ford Laser Lynx 4 door hatchback? you seem quite a senior in the community....

This post has been edited by usus: Apr 30 2007, 02:06 PM

the KFZE (2.0 V6) consumption is not at all like what you think. From owner, the KF consumption is better than 1.8 or equal 1.6.

sori... i am dunno anyone that drive a Lynx. Not that i am really familiar with them. I have met a few but not really now them.

Just back from oil change. RM100 for Castrol Magnatec, Ori oil filter, STP engine treatment and labor. That reasonable for me. Lesson learn is... whatever car you drive (excluding those luxury), it can be cheap if you have the mean and it can be expensive if you want it to be.

is ok bro bout the forum thingy..
rm100 for those service quite ok bah.. my uncle now installer for NGV car.. so once i get Lantis i will modify it into NGV car.. n the comsuption i tell u.. u will be for sure.. although da power will decrease abit.. but if u wan it to be power,switch back to Petrol.. n put in Shell Vpower.. sure power.. haha..

btw, bro where's ur location.. once i get lantis i will meet ya..
but i think tat time is around next year..

^But you'll sacrifice hell of a lot of boot space....

i live and rot around PJ.

Lantis boot space is pretty premium. I forego a superb speaker box so that i can have space in the boot. I got a el cheapo 10" tube now but its also taking like 20% space.

you reali want to think over putting a NGV tank in the boot.

Hi everyone! Probably I will get one Lantis, but still looking for a nice one. To share with you guys here, previously I just saw one Lantis daily parking under the LRT station nearby Amcorp Mall. A nice Lantis which still with the original Mazda sport rim. It's maroon colour and manual transmission, number plate WEM 7422, perhaps it's the one among the members here?

Ford n Mazda car spare parts can be found here....check out this blog for more info...

http://kemuncakparts.blogspot.com/

hello, i want to know about mazda lantis spare part? and i have problem with door window? can u help me

huh! someone brought up this ancient thread and you're in trouble.... jk
nah! spare part for lantis is getting rare. and for the frameless top panel door, they comes in 1 package. not by parts.
you need to find the whole door unit from halfcut shop.
a whole door unit used to cost around 350 bucks at halfcut shop in klang. but that was more than 4 years ago.
kinda ridiculous. hence the reason i sold my lantis.

about the door window, just have to change the window bushes.

i have a friend doing this, just pm me and i will give you his numbers.

below rm300 can fix all your 4 windows into mint conditions.

and parts for mazda (in halfcut shop) is not that expensive lol, i always get the price much cheaper than honda and mitsu.

I know this thread had been around since 2007, but i believe u guys still here.. hehe.. now 2011 this lantis getting old! but still a Good looking car and i planning to buy one as my budget quite tight.. ^^

Just wanted to know about lantis' spare parts and fuel consumption.. Spare parts of course not cheaper thn local proton cars but what about comparing to Honda? Toyota? (hard to find? expensive). Hope get replies from lantis users hehe...

Thanks a lot bros..

just get it.spareparts not that expensive.but as any old car, of course need more tlc

One of my drolled cars before and there are many nice modded once in youtube .

I want to buy mazda lantis this month. Is it still worth it?
