Underpowered.

I've driven a different conti car with similar kerb weight, 6AT but weaker 1.6A engine (less hp, less torque than this Mazda 1.5 A). No problem going up Cameron H and GH. The 6AT gearbox really makes up for the lack of power.

Finally someone who drove before and understands Vs keyboard warrior with their AXIA ramah

Alone? Or full passenger?

My daily drive is actually a Mazda with 1.5l engine and 1.1 Tonne kerb weight. Just enough for myself, but feel a bit sluggish when carrying my family especially when climbing the hilly part of Shah Ale. But then since it is our city car, sluggishness doesn’t really matter much.

But if I were to spend 120k on car, I wouldn’t be just a city car, but rather long distance car for family. I wonder if it is adequate or should I be expecting a drive like older gen of 2.0 CRV where I need to stand up to press the pedal going around karak highway

u need carry family means tak ngam already, come sell me your car

It’s my daily drive, not my “family” car. Have another car for that purpose.

That’s why I ask if 1.5l Mazda 3 is enough for family. Might not be used for long distance traveling, but it is enough for short family trip like going to genting?

Mostly 2 person.

Of course, power is very subjective.

I'm also seriously considering this Mazda 3...but at the same time I want to try owning EV. Hence the dilemma. I don't like having 2 cars, so it's a tough decision.

Unless u living landed, dont do it man. Just dont, trust me, i was an angineer

rear cabin space is really pathetic

but buying this Mazda 3 BP 1.5L is for the hanlding, looks, and premium build quality; and mostly importantly the nice 6AT gb.

for town driving, it is really more than enough

for family carrier, not really...

day trip is fine but rear cabin is really cramped.

wait for vios hev hybrid la ... launching soon

I tried sitting inside the mazda 3 liftback in the showroom and i noticed the cabin oozes with premium feeling high quality vibe and felt the sitting driving position great.

Then i moved towards the backseat with my adjusted driving sitting position on the front and i felt the back adequate even though doesn't looks like it from the outside.

Surprisingly the older gen m3 felt more cramped than this latest model.

Sekian atas laporan setelah raba-raba m3.

another thing is i thought the car was very low but masuk cabin still can adjust adjust and it's actually ok (i have back pain issues so i'm more sensitive to these kinda thing)

Buying overpriced shit for what...

means u not target audience, move on n go proton showroom book ur mc3 since it's the best value for money

You are not the first one that I knew that said the same thing.

What if want to change 19 inch rim n tyres. Got any changes on the performance?

low end torque memang lacking, but this 1.5 skyactiv-G + 6AT setup very rev. happy and engaging makes you want to vroom vroom , go test drive kasi hantam redline then you will know what is driver's car with mazda jinba itai torsion beam pekk corner sui suii no problem 1 feels good mang

orediii sayyy ... buy mazda better than bmw

Dont tell me ur blowing so much money for a torsion beam car
