mazda 3? suspension hard like crazy leh u ok?

for the vtec turbo and the space.

but since now home already have a kia carnival, so space basically not an issue anymore.

Why not cx-30? Since space is no more a concern, still want a low car hehe?

bose speaker cost how much if install it at accessory shop

I think the brand in MAS now that has very low or even no discounts is Mazda.
My Mazda 3 only get rm500 discount 😂

Asked around friends/families, they told me that’s Mazda style

Honda recalling 1.7 million US vehicles over steering issue
https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-tran...age-2024-10-09/

Recall but don’t fix the root cause also no use

Honda said the issue stems from an improperly produced part can swell when exposed to environmental heat and moisture and added a spring was set improperly high, increasing the sliding force between the components.

i wonder how u guys feel ? yes! we all see there is announcement for recall. But do you guys still have confidence to 'Honda'?

So weird if they choose to not replace the rack with the updated part (if it's even available??) because they're increasing cost on themselves to honor warranty for these new buyers.

not sure u guys seen 1 youtube comparing toyota and honda at taiwan, the video shared most of honda parts is from japan itself, while toyota is from thailand, then only some is locally sourced. so i believe is same for our country.

new bumper lose foglamp.. but get factory pre-installed tint film or they gonna sub out to 3rd partry again

Where do you stick rfid on your civic?

I sticked mine in windscreen but always failed to  be detected

Autobuzz or Eugene reviews cars for a living and I see that he / they have nothing bad to say about bad cars.
The real question should be who reviews their reviews for a living?

Here is a non exhaustive list of people I don't trust:
People who review cars just to make content and clicks. And then they have no other apparent job other than that, then their job is more like a freelance car salesman.
PauTan
TaiC.Yee
Autob*zz
B*bbyAng
automachy
yskhang
msiamotoring
...the list is long

Here is one that dare to tell you or at least hint you:
The Piston Show

But refer my question above. They are all fallible. Consider ALL of them actors in a TV show just saying things according to script. They do not reveal the script writers so assume the script comes from people who will benefit from them IE vendors.

For the case of Honda malaysia cars, remember that the CBU Speccing is actually different from US / International (Which you can sometimes trust their reviews because some of them plain condemn a car for 30 minutes straight). Most obvious is the sound proofing. Next is airbag design. If any International spec car is as loud as the local Civic it will be outright called out.

And the second part which is dangerous to your life is Honda Malaysia rejection of warranty and safety related defects - Steering rack. Worldwide recall upside down, Malaysia one will say no issue. Reject your claims and ask you to risk your life on the road. Good 6 months after the issue blow up they will silently say there is an "update", and then 3 months later only then the RTD will repeat the same thing for good measure.

Considering to trade off my mazda 3 BM for the civic FE Facelift but i do aware that the steering rack is an issue other than that any other issues? So far my 10-year 278k km Mazda doesn't have any major issues except lower arm but that has already been addressed. Still drives good and all parts are still original fitted since day 1. Not sure is a good decision or better to hold off for other cars. Im considering a better power upgrade and since the new Mazda 3 uses same engine so meh...any comments? or feel like sharing?

I'll be honest

If you don't want EV, especially China EV
Don't want local cars
Don't have budget for Conti brands like BBA
in the market for B C Segments (*in toddler voice* D for dead )

Sad to say Honda has pretty much monopolized that segment with their CKD Melaka production
Corolla cross maybe can pull some Toyota loyalist, or Vios, but my god that Perodua quality and overall P2 interior.

Personally, I'd take the steering rack issue any day compared to the other competition.
I , too, have sold the Civic FE e spec, as bro in law threw in an offer we couldn't resist for his pristine HRV EHEV hybrid, and my wife wanted a taller car as it was difficult to carry our newborn into the very low positioned Civic rear seats (and into the baby seat)

Ok I edit to include China ICE lol
Their cars seem to  have completely different driving dynamics lol (to my limited experience on the X70, lol yes I do admit, very very limited)

Model 3 referring to Tesla?
and seal being BYD?
Both EV sedan right?
