QUOTE(dudester @ Oct 11 2018, 11:03 AM) 19 inch tyre are expensive, 17 is cheap but for a powerful car like Mazda 6, I suggest going for 18, you would maintain the grip and traction and stability , also aesthetics. never buy from used car unless they dont charge you processing fees. only a couple of used car dealers dont charge, mostly these dealers are not located at those LOT USED car space.The 2013 Mazda 6 2.5L was one of the cars I considered, having tested the 2018. It has the best drive compared to Accord and Camry, giving the closest European build feel. Yes, the 2nd hand resale value is not as good as the other 2 but thats to the used car buyer advantage. I believe with on time maintenance and regular driving, the car would not give much problem. Wear and tear parts are parts and parcel of getting a used car, so set your expectations and budget accordingly. Otherwise, you may need to fork out more for a more recent model with warranty still active. Lastly, avoid used car dealer, shop patiently and wait for a low mileage with full service records from a direct seller. just walk away if they tell u rm3000 proc fees, lol. |

QUOTE(david9412 @ Oct 11 2018, 12:00 PM) actually i am more into that model as well but i think only 2 unit spotted so far selling around 120-128k , private selling from kuantan and johor. Suspension is slightly softer , but noise vibration harshness most improved and the dashboard can retrofit android auto and car play soon whats the difference beside dashboard design before and after fl? You might want to consider that |

QUOTE(david9412 @ Oct 10 2018, 05:21 PM) My current car have been with me for around 9 years 200k km, still performing well but many of the parts started to wear, suspension noises getting louder so i am considering of buying a new cars. im driving that car, awesome.Spotted second hand mazda 6 2.5 yr2015 (some manufacture yr 2014) priced @ around RM78-83k (Ori Price around RM190k), in term of pricing its quite attractive. any sifu here know well baout this car can give some idea if this car is worth to buy? got the ECU remap, super awesome throttle response and power (reach full hp at 4k+ instead of 6k rpm). i-stop shut off d pedal shifters are awesome too. frequently play within 2nd (up to 80kmh) and 3rd gear (up to 140kmh) deciding whether to change to 18" wheels to soften the ride and to save on the tyres cuz next tyre change is up ahead. 18' can change to 50mm thick tyres for better ride as the 19" is hard. my friend had same unit, driven to 200,000km d. no problem at all, just usual wear and tear parts. (like belt tensioner, lower arm making sound that type) only complain is the noise level is high, i've done some soundproofing on wheel arch and front floor to lower road noise. right now more towards engine noise. see when i'm free will soundproof the doors, floor and rear boot. this car is a high spirited driver experience car, not like the unker camry/accord/teana feeling. plus it's a 5star european NCAP rating. very safe This post has been edited by AllnGap: Oct 17 2018, 10:27 AM |

QUOTE(electroboy @ Oct 10 2018, 11:34 PM) I owned a 2013 mazda 6 skyactiv. One of the best purchase decision made. Let go at 100k mileage for upgrade after 5 years. The car still rocks like new but yea the RV is not good especially those early days specs with lesser gadgets. rv is by demand and hence market price (willingness of people in mass market to pay). I hope to see this improved in years time. What did the Mazda change for the major service which cost below 1.5k.But RV was never my motivation in purchasing car. For me just buy what you want and by the time for me to change, with good financial habit anyone can get to what they want instead of betting on RV to cover their next purchase. But of course that is just me and my opinion only. Parts, yes it can be expensive, start stop engine battery is around RM450 and major maintenance following schedule is rm1xxx (below 1500 figure). But considering i almost never had any issue with the car, with proper maintenance schedule your machine shud be alright If it is accord, the major service is at rm800, which includes the oil change, gb oil, spark plug, air filter etc. The spark plug is the most expensive during that service |

As a Mazda 2 2014 owner, I can tell you proportionately that the spare parts of Mazda in Malaysia are freaking hard to find!! and cos 2-3 times more expensive that other brands.
My Mazda 2 started giving aircond problems in 2017 with on time SC maintenance. Had to do minor rehaul on the aircond system for RM3000 (recond compressor, wash system etc). Now 2018 problem coming back already. Imagine your cost for Mazda 6. For other factors: - FC is so-so - Sound insulation is bad for 2nd hand car. Vibration unbearable. - Engine mounting cracked after 3 years - Aircond parts costs a bomb - Paint job is good, last longer and shinier than other brands - Handling OK Expect to add quite some extra budget to fix all the misc stuffs. I'm still looking for a reliable and experienced workshop that specialize in Mazda but most of them will just chop you, including official SC.
