Hey guys, will you guys receive any official booking details once you booked your car with the SA? if yes, how long will it takes for the SA to send you the details? I just booked mine this morning but am yet to receive any details.

First time booking a car before launch.

price havent out yet .. wait for it .. best you can get is the booking receipt

Those who booked.... you guys not concerned with first batch issues?

Or you guys really need a car soon so there's no choice?

All my previous cars were first batch car. So far so good.. touch wood!

It don’t concerned me that much despite my luck is consider quite bad especially on buying new appliances 🤣 the reason I book is because I wish to change from my current car since last year and I personally like the new interior design. simple as that.

Worried abit too. waiting to see the first batch ones first haha. Ketam's steering rack sickness was brought over to the new City. Can see some ppl still claiming steering rack issue for new City.

That's why have warranty. In any case, not guaranteed that later models will not have problems. Also, this car has been on the road since June 2021 (US), so I'm sure if there are "launch issues", it would have been detected and corrected since.

can't really compare US and Msia since they are both made in respective CKD plants, and with CKD there's bound to be quality variations with locally sourced parts as well

Hence, the first and 2nd part of my reply.

Usually first Pilot build / first batch engineers will turun padang and fix what can be fixed...so in a sense they built with the knowledge.

Suppliers will send the best screened parts and avoid sending out of spec or near the limit of spec parts. So big boss and leads come, all look great, yield very high.

Its the subsequent batches when champagne corks have been flown, that is when suppliers start to flow in some of their out of spec, or at the limit parts, and then engineers not around, line leaders make split second decisions to use or not use, sometimes trying to maintain production output etc, don't want to line down that is the dangerous one.

And then it takes a few unlucky customers to complain, only then will it flow back to their engineering to investigate and do some corrective action. By then, months have passed, 1000's of finished goods, they will roll the dice and hope no more complaints or just resolve for those who complain.

I won't acknowledge this as my professional comment.

Speaking about the media preview drive at Sepang, Honda Msia prepared a FC Civic and Corolla 1.8G as a comparison, but for some reason left out the Mazda 3 sedan

Wonder why. Pricing?

depend on quality i guess
i seen some review of new xtrail , the real world temp diff between dual zone can be around 6 degree

corolla ckd soon
pricing would be similar i think

Why they do so what my perspective is toyota corrolla memang cannot use to compare with new civic as in no matter interior or exterior design or even performance. The only can "fight" is thier chasis TNGA platform, so by same c segment we can see corrolla slightly lose due to he not new anymore, just only simple facelift. Relationship slightly same with sumsung and apple.
Madza 3, ha i guess they not using as competitor was due to Malaysia market demand still goes to Toyata and Honda. U know la, resell value, spare parts cost bla bla

Yaya what i saw on review metallic grey was look really good. But what my concern is black painted spoiler and side mirror look from far sight it seems not obvious dont u feel that?

looks ok for me but i believe mostly booked white or black

Yes, agreed. The black painted part won’t be as noticeable compared to the other lighter colours - but still people would know it is an RS with the Rims and Ducktail spoiler.

In any case, I hope it would launch in January rather than March

hope can get the car before CNY

probably hard for it, although i am excited too...
lets see city hatch back very first

I’ll be surprised if you see the car out before the price and spec sheet….which is what, “Q1”?
