Just drove the 2.0 up genting highland with 4 ppl. Adequate power for me, maybe not so for those used to power though lol.

Glad to know. But actually it is up to the driver lo..

If they coming from a car with more torque then they will think 2.0 is insufficient. They like to vroom up the hill one..

To me, I like to pop to lower gears and slowly drive up Genting...like to enjoy the cool breeze from the hill side...
Before that I drove my wife Myvi uphill, at around 20-30km/h only, letting all the desperate drivers passed me...seems like the whole road just me alone and it is very dark too...LOL.

Hmm with raining season lately, how do you guys keep the car clean? Kl is very dusty and raining makes it worst. Cleaning it is effort wasted when it rains.

Same here, I tried to spray it with water after drove back from raining Saturday (thinking to wash away the dirt water, so that lesser stains after dried)

But then Sunday, half way to dinner, rain pulak...

then i give up..

I almost plan to order 5 Rain-X bottles to apply on the whole car.

I am wondering, is using Manual option able to decrease the fuel consumption of the car?

Heard my SA said that, one of her customer is using Manual mode to save more fuel..

Any of you can prove that?

Have you guys encountered white spots or patches on leather dashboard in car? Guna jari or siku ter-touch the leather area inside the car pun ada white mark/spot/patches.

Ada solution other than wiping with a damp clothes frequently? Very irritating.

Heard Meguaiar leather products can help.

Ya lo, but dont know which Meguairs product will work. Is our dashboard made of leather or vinyl?
Is this different than SCBS? Ini kena ask our sifu skeith

SBS do sounds familiar like SCBS but for high speeds...hmm I don't know if our car has it. Have to ask sifu skeith since he did a lot of the tinkering in the car laugh.gif

Last saturday when i cruising behind a car on the same lane at about 60km/h, i think that car is about 200-300m away from my car...

That moment my foot still pressing the pedal and then suddenly the beeping sounds (beep around 4-5 times)

Maybe that is SBS? hmm.gif

Happens to me also. It sounds an alarm when I was cruising above 120 km/h and the car in front suddenly brakes. There's some distance between us but it's a good warning system.

SCBS-F or SBS in work? hmm.gif
*
But...

"When a risk of collision is detected, the system slows the car via a two-stage brake operation. SBS aims to help the driver avoid or reduce the severity of collisions, particularly when driving at mid- to high speeds (between 15 km/h and 145 km/h), by automatically applying the brake if there is a danger of collision."

Did you notice it apply brake for you? I didn't feel that wor... hmm.gif

I've experienced the auto-braking in action.. Trust me, you can't mistake it.. Even though you are depressing the Brake pedal, the car seizes it from you and presses it down harder.. ABS all kicks in too and you feel the vibrations.. Lastly, the screen will flash the BRAKE! in red and yellow too..

Now unless Mazda snuck in SBS and didn't advertise it... If so, great.. No complains from me..  laugh.gif

Ok...I will take some paper boxes to demonstrate the SBS or SCBS this coming weekend. brows.gif

But how to differentiate? Both also auto breaks and both also got warning. Unless u drive faster cause SBS works in mid to high speed but it would be dangerous to test it  sweat.gif
*
I think I am able to test the SCBS, because it is only 7km/h to 30km/h speed range to trigger..

For the SBS, I worried that my airbags will blown out if it didnt autobrake for me... sad.gif

Stupid salesman, dont know how to do business.
Just go test drive, if you like just go for it.

Actually their lousy attitude also same as my services centre advisor, cocky as f*ck. Too bad JB here 2 SC but both own by same company, otherwise I will go to other SC for sure.
From my car, I feel quality also so so only. Got few quality problem here and there.
What Mazda good is their engine + driving feel.
*
Their sales attitude are different from each branch, depends on your luck also.
Just book one from the cocky one, then any problem you encounter with the car, fck the salesman kawkaw.

The car like really made for mainly smooth roads. Just recently, I was wondering how they sell in adverts that it's an offroader too..  laugh.gif  I guess it is la, just expected for more things to break and be replaced. Basically, most of our roads, can classify as offroading d..  laugh.gif  laugh.gif

You mean for the pilot CarPlay install? I'd say Glenmarie.. Though it's kinda unofficial for now.. So not sure if all can just go and request..
Haven't or don't intend to use any of the above. Earlier, I did list the products I'm using. Tis been awhile and time to claybar, reapply the sealant and wax again.. sweat.gif

I see, talking about Claybar...first time i heard this, what is the purpose of that?

hi bro, im currently using meguiars ultimate liquid wax, ultimate quik wax, ultimate quik detailer, interior detailer, endurance tire gel, ultimate leather balm, natural shine protectant, supreme shine protectant. i know abit much but some were leftovers from last time  sweat.gif

1. ultimate liquid wax - good with water beading, cars feel very smooth. but takes longer time to apply. i do every 3-4 months
2. ultimate gold class quik wax - easy to spray on and wipe. i do every 2-3 weeks after car wash.
3. ultimate quik detailer - use to clean bird droppings or stain from car. but will bead water very well also so i will apply after every car wash. just not so lasting as quik wax. easier to apply than quik wax
4. endurance tire gel - not a fan. very hard to apply/spread evenly especially with 2.0gls continental tires (the fine lines around the tire). i got it because it came with the meguairs new car kit. better get those cheap white gel in mineral water bottles to use.

5. interior detailer - just got this. not bad can clean off white spots on the interior. no heavy/funny smell.
6. ultimate leather balm - so so for me. not sticky or oily after apply. not much smell
7. natural shine protectant - i use for the interior plastic parts. gives off a matte look
8. supreme shine protectant - not using anymore. too shiny after apply.
9. wash & wax - does its job. not sure about how "waxed" the car is after using because i will apply wax/detailer after washing.
*
Thank you bro for the recommendation.

I am actually worried that i could have bought some redundant wax products.

So is it i just buy Gold Class Quik Wax rather than Ultimate Quik Wax?

I am desperate for water beading surface as i always drive pass construction area, with big lorries carrying red soil. my hardwork of washing will become wasted...

Mazda must be doing really well. They are smart to absorb the SST and because of this they sold a lot more cars.

This is one of the method to clear their stocks too.

We can definitely see that CX5 2.5T and Mazda3 launching soon.. icon_idea.gif

Not yet. Initially the SA said will deliver in late Oct. Then the guy resigned and my order was given to another SA to handle. Just got in contact with the new SA last week and so far on track for delivery soon. I opted for SRC so that could be another reason for the delay.

Unfortunately, you will be getting a new number in the Q.

SRC is hot color. brows.gif Good choice!
