Billy, u book ur car at roadshow but the car is deliver later from which company ? Bermaz or dealer ? At the roadshow, dealer also join us.

the best is own both... haha

Not looking down on you. Just stating facts. My sincere apologies if I sounded I was looking down on you.

Anyway, you need to see that Honda Malaysia been in auto business in MY for very much longer time than Bermaz has and the "experience" and "network" that has been built in the system and people at JPJ. If you ask JPJ officer to register a Accord, he'll know exactly what it looks like but if you ask them to register a Mazda6, he'll probably scratch his head trying to figure out how the car looks like !

OK, looks like a quite a number of people have already gotten their Mazda6 already? Any show of hands?

so its 147k for 2.0 right? What about the Malaysia My Second Home Program. Anyone knows how much will the price be reduced to? Thanks.

Im thinking of either getting the Honda Civic 2.0 or Mazda 2.0, theres a difference of around RM20k, thats alot for me..im still a student. Which car do you guys recommend me between the two. I have narrowed down my options and it ended up with this two cars.

I have first opted for the Civic 2.0 but for the past weeks Mazda have caught my eye in an instant! haha! I'm planning to buy the car early next year, probably around January/February. In terms of interior, which can be said a better build between these two cars? And im looking for a good resale value of the car, i will be leaving the country in 3 to 4 years time. So its a must choice for me to have this.

Thanks for the feedback

for 2.0l , civic reserve for better resale value, better spec.
my $0.02

Everything the dealer handle for me, they even deliver the car for me to their shop. So I dont really know anything happen in between.

paying over 140K just to drive 4 yrs is not worth. U might as well opt for lower end such as Vios/City or myvi. U are student dont waste that money on a car, use it for further investment.


I am happiest guy on Earth. Got my car already, it is a fantastic piece of thing. After speed reading about 70% of the manual + driving the car myself. I can say almost the whole car is full of sensors.

Sunlight sensor for air cond temp control, Rain/light sensor for auto on/off light and wiper. parking sensor for 360 degree. When ur car move too near to touch and go toll. I actually heard little beep warning telling my car is too near to something. (about less than 6 inch from car body)

Head lamp is white. OMG I didnt know that , built-in car fuel calculator, shows average fuel/100Km, current fuel/100Km, average speed, and blah blah blah where myself blur blur

Anyway there are still many function to say here but it will be a long story if I tell here, probably the Mazda salesman do not have enough skill to actually explain all the function Mazda6 have during any roadshow or Mazda showroom, lots of functions that was not told when I book my car.

i think if his parents give him such budget,most probably it's extra money for their kid. perhaps his parents drive conti at home and 140k car is low end enough.
for my thought, 4yrs is good enough for change new car. after 4yrs wear and tear, is time to sell it off b4 it get u trouble or pay $$$ for repair.
my car current accord only drive 4yrs . b4 that, camry only last for 1.5yrs coz that car too boring...
thats y i always opt for short loan installment within 3yrs.

nice to hear u r happy with it, im sure i'll feel the same when i receive mine

Well probably u are right about him. If that is the case I will highly suggest getting the 2.5L one. There is simply no reason to get 2.0L one.

As for ur Mazda6, just be prepared for the surprises functionalities it has, that ur salesman didnt told u after you read the manual. prepare for many "OMG, WOW"

Congrats billytong. I booked mine after the BTS roadshow. Hopefully it comes in one or two weeks time.

there is...its called road tax pricing ...... 2.0 is RM 380++++ 2.5 RM1k ++++
for that diff one can do many wonderous things wid money.

Man, I really envy you! this is what a new car should be like, complete joy...

that was what I was looking forward 2 when I got my new car... but it was not to be, when I got my new Honda civic CKD shi*t car, I have nightmare on the first day already as the wiper give shit sound, rattling sound everywhere, clip that fall off, plastic that warp under the hot sun, suspension klong klong sound and many more and all this in a fcking new car!!!

you definitely made the right choice and I hope more will choose mazda cause honda is definitely overrated..., anyway this is my last fcking honda. fck you honda malaysia!!!

Hey Billy, when did you book your car? In June?

2.5L is just RM6xx. not 1K and the RM400 difference is not much to me.

Ermm Somewhere in June which I forgot the exact date.

tested the Car auto switch on/off head lamp today by entering/exit a Basement car park. It is cool.

yaka ? road tax price drop liao ?
my alphard is 2.4 and its already RM800+ and so's my 2.2 accord which is RM 599 p.a.

u mean to tell me your mazda cars are subsidised by the garmen ?

If you didn't already know, all cars above 2.0L are entitled to a RM 400 rebate. So the 2.5L Mazda6 which is suppose to be RM 879 (individual) would be RM 479 after the rebate.

sos pls

AFAIK , its only RM200 rebate for 2000cc above

this is my sos: http://202.190.64.96/v5/index.php?option=c...id=218&Itemid=1

straight direct from jpj m'sia itself. so yes i dont know all cars above 2.0L are entitled to RM400 and i dont know where your sos came from and i do know that you are bullshitting. true ?

er... that means 2400cc or 2500cc also got rebate?
how about my 2400cc roadtax paid at april, got cash rebate? blur blur d...

got rebate. but its effective 24th june .....go click on my sos and read.

2400cc 2500cc all also got rebate but effective june 24th. so u april renew u wait next year april oni enjoy the rebate.
same as me, mine in february so i next year february oni enjoy the rebate. no cash back.

btw this has nothing to do with the fuel subsidy rebate. this is road tax reduction yah....

All cars above 2000cc entitled for road tax rebate of RM200. So 2.5 Mazda 6 road tax should be 600+..
