Maybe because its ready stock for my colour and spec, and SA is confident I'll get my loan approved

there's some more from lazada and shopee

Congrats on your new ride. Added to owner's list on first page. Share some pics after done PPF

tbh after 2 different test drive sessions, I don't really feel or understand the issue many people had with the brake is it the longer travel distance for the pedal?

Wah u have the latest facelift Mazda 2 also? The B segment that everyone says its overpriced (tbh it kinda is)

I read somewhere Mazda intentionally design the brake that way so it gives a more gradual feeling instead of a sudden stopping feel which will throw the occupants forward. But then I never found any official statement from Mazda about this, could be just salesman talk. In the end its just something to get used to which won't be an issue eventually

So many matsuda fans here... both cars same brand

Btw if you guys already installed dashcam, can share some pictures how the wire was routed to the 12v port? Looking for the less obvious and cleanest route / method...

Yes CX30 interior is next level compared to HRV and Cross. If only the backseats are more reclined I think more people would've preferred it

You went for hardwire directly? Actually I'll prefer hardwire but there's the concern about warranty. iinm only warranty related to electrical components will be voided? Which seems to be rare issues for CX30 to have... but you never know

Oh you just let it be..... for me cannot lah new car 😂

almost like what i have in mind as well, will route the cable on the floor so its not too obvious and can be covered with floor mats.

i watched his reviews before and thought he is from China since the channel is based in China



another reviewer from Taiwan I tend to watch is DR IF. He goes more into the technical details rather than just spec sheet and driving review



a similar english reviewer is savagegeese

Gloss black haha, follow Ignite spec last time

Can request from SA actually, but they will bring out to spray also, just see whether they want to free or charge you.

Personally for my color (polymetal grey), it matches well with black only hahah

Some tips for new or even current owners who are not aware

- You can put one of your spare key to sleep mode. This will prevent battery draining, no need to swap keys anymore to maintain battery level. Press 4 times on the lock button, then on the 5th time hold it until you hear some beeps. Your key is now in sleep mode, it can no longer be used for keyless entry and start your car. To reactive it just repeat the steps.



- The usb port in the center console armrest actually supports AC and AA also. Not just the front port. This is good if you plan to get those wireless AC / AA adapter, you can just plug in and store in the center console. For the front port for me I bought a mini usb ambient light for some extra illumination (seriously one thing I dont like about CX30 is how little ambient illumination there is, not even the center console storage )

These 2 tips I was aware about actually and I just brought it up to my SA today to 'test'.... unsurprisingly she was not aware about either of them. But at least one of the service center guy knows about the keyfob sleep mode

How to check? Tbh i feel like its spray painted since it was done in a day and costs only rm700

what's your spec btw? for first page owner's list purpose

attention to every new or current owners.... please DO NOT attempt to wipe or even touch the plastic lens cover of the instrument cluster. Don't even try to wipe it with a microfibre cloth. It scratches damm easily, imagine your microfibre cloth turning into sandpaper

I was not aware about this and attempted to wipe the dust off it yesterday using microfibre cloth.... this is the result



luckily for me at least it is not that obvious most of the time unless there's light shining onto it, but damage had been done

this is not a CKD issue, its a well known issue for a long time and i think it applies to Mazda 3 as well

https://www.cx30talk.com/threads/instrument...lens-cover.271/

https://www.cx30talk.com/threads/instrument...er.271/#replies

Mazda USA even issued a bulletin for this

https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10215244-0001.pdf

I asked around the fb owner's group for solutions, and some suggested to just directly apply a TPU film onto it, will cover most of the scratches. Gonna try that next

This post has been edited by ZeneticX: Sep 9 2024, 11:40 AM

since its on the instrument cluster only i think it should be fine. And TPU is more resistant to heat and UV damage compared to TPH, assuming you got a genuine and good quality TPU lah

yeah its just to make my stock rims look good so i think its sufficient enough. will try my best not to curb it

give it few more years maybe I have budget and hand itchy will change to proper sport rims


noted on that, i will probably try to scrape towards the bottom so any scratches will occur at the bottom part and not too obvious hopefully

The stock 8 speaker sound system seems a bit underwhelming with default settings. But with some EQ adjustments it made a lot of difference.



Dont think its Bose level but at least it sounds good enough to me that I dont think I'll need a DSP or subwoofer for the time being

Mazda actually spent some RnD with the stock sound system. They call it Mazda Harmonic Acoustics
