At 20k higher price better just get mazda 3. Looks more elegant, CBU Japan, premium materials no hard plastics like civic and 5 yr warranty incl engine oil foc

Pics whatsapped to me by one of the honda senior SA of Malaysian made honda civic rdy to announce in December for launch
Thats what she claimed. Looks to me like mcm Thailand punya

150k plus for full spec CKD civic lol

Mazda 3 only

Haha I was gonna buy civic 11th gen but need car before end of year. Honda couldn't guarantee. No regrets la went mazda.
Considering CkekD vs CBU and 154k mazda 3 full spec now with 5 year free (incl engine oil)

At 150k plus civic and no free services even with all the rebates every year not appeal for me la.

Btw
Now book duno got stock anot. Good luck!!! U won't regret the car wan. The rear space ppl say not enuff. Until 178cm also ok

Those who considering whether to wait civic 11th gen to test drive before commit can test drive mazda 3. Guarantee u driving experience wise Will nv look back at Honda civic after.
(good luck cleaning the honeycomb mesh in new civic)

Bring family along for rear seats. Dont rely on ppl say mazda 3 cramp at rear. It's enough for us Asians unless ur family all 180 above

Gonna drive my mazda 3 to a Honda centre to test drive

Same situation as me but its the SA ffk me first. Say Dec can get car. Until I call the HQ.

Its to compare them both side by side

Yeah. Highly likely civic will lose bec m3 sedan on ps4 tyres quiet till 150kph. But i also would like to look at their boot space, rear passenger space, driver seat (it was really low in 10th gen) as well as practicality inside as all honda claim

DLC like computer game inkambin with 10 inch screen and bose speaker.

I have seen tai choo yee video. He says 10 to 15 percent better.
Mazda 3 is still better.

Of course u need to test drive at 110 to 150kph yourself to judge but hes honest reviewer too

Huh 220?its a flat profile tyre right and wider than mazda 3s. 220 will be prone when u go thru potholes area or rain and dont see o. Alot of M3 owners kena ady

Mazda 3 on load with passenger 260 for front 250 for rear if turanza

U can put less for PS4. I still put 250 as i prefer a stiffer one and family is still comfortable on it

What a bummer to receive such unit. This SA isnt honest. If i were you id lodge complaint to higher tier management level

Another thing is every new car owner should make the effort to check every single details exterior and interior incl open bonnet and car boot before finalising handover of car. SA should show everything incl tutorials how to use honda sensing. Not just handover keys.

If yours are given to u in a rush it would be a big red flag

True and false.

True that mazda CBU paint too prone to stone chips. Incl windscreen (quite a portion users have windscreen crack, mine got small lines)

Its unavoidable if u drive highway high speed. Slow lane lorries or front lorries hogging fast lane inevitably spill sands.

The only way is to PPF the car. Mininum full front.

Some car paint experts explained (G guard for the matter) new cars last 5 years paint tech is such a way it looks shiny, glossy and if chip its chip of that specific segment.
But old cars if chip, it cracks a line of one tile length.

Its just simply technology around paint and like it or not we have to deal with it.

At least, honda cars paints are easy to replicate.

Mazda 3 and cx30 paints are not so. The soul red used in Japan mazda and soul red glenmarie 4s repair centre shows stark difference of red,shared in mazda groups.
Moreover theres this S shaped side door panel reflectiveness. U damage it, u wanna repaint it, u wont get the same effect.

Heres to waiting mazda Japan teach bermaz msia how to paint the Japan way

Not a fair fight hahaha. CBU red is this good. The S shape signature

I am not expert in paint engineering but i suppose u need this recipe. Apart from the chassis moulding per Kodo formula handcrafting (mazda factory production videos in Japan from YouTube have their staffs handcraft the chassis stuff in beginning of video)

***sorry for being off topic!***


Congrats for ur new car isr25!!!

Let us know ur trip to KL experience ltr!

Bro u don't joke pls

Well i have tested this car up genting and short rounding of empire shopping mall big you to federal highway.
On corners, if you want to buang the car on corners, altis will fail. It only allows you to corner comfortably (50 to 60kph tops) bec the engine does its TNGA platform a disservice.

If you want to buang a c segment on corner, even civic does a better job (likely also thanks to PS4) but body roll for passenger is another topic.

The best c segment to buang corner will be mazda 3. Esp the hatchback. Bodyroll is very minimal, the 2.0L gives the oomph esp with paddle shifter and you can lap 90kph on these places without breaking a sweat if you are experienced enough.

Of course if u say comfort corner, i think altis will take it but hey make no mistake even a car half the altis price can corner like altis does with anti roll bar installed
