Dear FnF sifus, I've been a silent reader all these while and finally registered and need opinions about cars.
I'm currently driving a civic RS 2022 and i've been having issues with my steering racks up till today.
Total claimed 3 times and now the sticky/tuk sound is back.. 
Recently went to have a look at the mazda 3 and kinda interested on the liftback ignite.
I'm thinking to just pull the trigger because of ulang alik Honda SC, and i dont think the steering rack issue will solve anytime soon seeing the complaints on FB
Space is not much of an issue as my wife is driving a Veloz, and i have another Estima at home.

How's Mazda 3? any well known issue for the current version? Just want a fun car to drive and less to zero headaches at least for 5 years.

Thanks

I have a different feeling for CX30.

Anyway worth it or not its subjective.

I think the only Chinese car that's worth buying it's the S70.

Polymetal Gray

And here I am spending 160k+ on CX30 High+ Premium, Polymetal Grey as well same as TS. Congrats for your new ride btw SasuKopa

Test drove it and the power is enough for me, maybe because I am coming from 1.2L NA lol. Also when you rev it up at least it sounds better than some 1.6 turbos screaming for their dear life out there, and no annoying CVT droning + rubberband effect (yes I know you're not supposed to rev turbos but wait till a myvi is at your rear view mirror kek. Jk)

My verdict is few post above (quoted below)

So yeah gonna repeat again.... one man's poison is another man's potion

Also if anyone wondering why not I just get CX5 2.0 since they cost almost the same
- to me CX5 is only worth having with at least the 2.5 NA (177k+)
- the design is fine but is dated and Mazda is confirmed to be working on a new gen. Bermaz launched the facelift very late in our market, we should've got it 1 - 2 years ago
- its not spec'ed as well as the CX30 High+ Premium
- it doesn't handle as well though it is more comfortable (afterall its more family focused)
- i prefer the overall design of CX30. Again I am not a family man so practicality is not my priority

Anyway just something fun... you know there's a classic "guideline" to see whether the car you bought is underpowered for the money you pay? Just use RM1k = 1hp as guideline . So when you spend like 200k, you should expect at least 200hp. Anyway just something fun, it may or may not work for everyone
