jchue73, the road noise is obvious when you hit bumpy road. that's the only drawback i had thus far.

quick_shaq, ya the design is cool and from side, it is able to compete with BMW5 series and with overall very sporty look. Mazda claim the Cd is only 0.27 in which you only see this range of factor in luxurious sport car like the new Nissan GTR?

not the engine vibration noise, it's the wind noise when you crushing at the speed of >100km/h.

I believe in a reliability survey done, Mazda came out tops ahead of other car manufacturers.

But the most important thing to note about surveys like this is that the CBU Mazda you get here in MY is coming from the same factory and same car as those that the surveys were done worldwide and you can say that they are truly representative of the manufacturer unlike Mercs / Bimmers / Hondas / Toyotas that you need to check which factory they come from. Foreign magazines / surveys may say that a particular car is good but for Malaysian market when the car is CKD, the quality can consider gone.

Wah, change to 17" means changing rim. Big hole in pocket. 

Which 18" tyres do you recommend?
Errr, actually somehow everytime I admire a car, I don't have enough time to give an *** about the driver driving it since I'd be busy oggling at the car itself. 

Just got my UV colored mat for my M6 yest. I love it. 

it is Car mat, the one that put on near under all the seats.

He cant beat a 2.5L at this kind of car weight with the torque and the BHP it offer. Especially our max torque is only need 4K rpm.

I would like to say something bad about Mazda6.

The front wind screen is a bit too big and too backward to driver, may be due to sporty design. But this allow direct Sunlight to my arms and part of my body, it gets hot after a while. Anyone here had place any UV on the windscreen?

I notice that all other window screen has a prefix word UV (except the front wind screen), is it really UV protected?

I am also worry if I put on front wind screen UV screen it might disrupt the sensors.

If u check the remarks/wording on each of the glass screen. Only the front wind do not have UV prefix, and I definitely feel hotter with the direct sunlight from front than from side window(which its glass have a UV prefix).

Iceman do u have problem with ur rain sensors, headlight sensor and sunlight sensors after applying the Vkool?

Mazda 6?
Hmmm I always think mazda 3 is the better looking one.
6 eyes too small.
And best looking mazda of all time is mx-5.

Have to agree, I've had 2 Vkool cars and one Rike Cool tinted car, Rike Cool is bullshit in my opinion compared to Vkool. Almost the same price with much less heat rejection in my opinion.

One thing I did hear is that it's much harder fake 3M tints since they come with 3M imprinted on the tint itself or something like that. I've never seen it before so can't say for sure. Either way though 3M is a big name so at least there must be some quality behind the product.

How about the Sunlight sensor sit right next to the right bottom of the wind screen. Is the thing got disrupt?

Added on August 7, 2008, 11:20 amAs for the tinting How is the 3m Crystaline? I got a special offer for RM1600 somewhere near my house. But I do hate their 3M logo, it makes me feel like some ah beng car full of stickers.

your vkool started to peel off?? new car ???!!!! how come my vkool last so damn long??
