mycarforum: 2014 Mazda 3 part 112

Read a lot of comparisons between a full loaded Mz3 vs base Audi A3. And in the comparison, Mazda wins!!!
What's ur views?

I tested a3 and mazda 3.
A3 better built no doubts. Less bell and whistles thats all. 25k difference and I decided to save $ n bought mazda 3.

Well, this is a m3 thread afterall

I've checked no 1 and even off it. but still same.

�

I even off aircon, but still see mist.

�

Thanks for the advise, might monitor and if need I check with TEKi

�

Is your sunroof open?

Precisely... And I deem cruise control an useless function in Singapore context.

�

I beg to differ. With a traffic camera camouflaged around every corner, it helps to set the cruise control to the speed limit to ensure we don't go over.

Has anyone tried K&N drop in on our cars?�

Gonna try the HKS filter this friday.

Should be better acceleration?

only useful in kpe/mce bro as traffic flow is quite steady & speed cameras r much stricter.. in other highways, if u drive at speed limit (90kph) in the most right lane, there will be a lot of "friendly" bros tailgating behind u...

Yeah.� [thumbsup]

please be friendly and keep to lane 2 and cruise control all you like

please be friendly and keep to lane 2 and cruise control all you like

I will be surprised if you can cruise control in lane 2 with all the lories/trucks & slow moving cars, all at random speeds� :TT_TT: � :a-confused: ��

HKS K&N all play before in my previous ride Lancer EX....only increase high end speed, low end pick up very letharghic.....throttle body always very dirty, send in for cleaning must remove the filter otherwise they say won't clean for me. In the end give up....original the best, good pickup....think u all still new to this....think properly before investing....modding is endless, mod abit better dun mod.

Bro, you mean you still go back to TEK for servicing after the warranty? I for one will not go back after my 10K servicing.

�

I tried both kinda filters before and never felt the low end lost. In fact it made my ride more responsive. Only open pods made the low end laggy.

�

Modding is a very vague term. To me changing wheels, bodykit, air filter, add stickers etc is not considered modding. IHE change then that is mod!

Exactly my point; same feeling the faster driver feels when someone decides to cruise control at 90 on lane 1 :TT_TT: � :a-confused: � or kpe/mce for that matter

be friendly [;)]

FYI the cruise control, can press arrow to go faster or slower depending on traffic, on kpe/mce

�

wa lao those traffic heavy one of course don't use la

how /where do I get the car battery fixed up so that my car dashboard camera can record 24/7?

Also how much is it?

Has anyone tried K&N drop in on our cars?�

�

especially when one is in KPE or MCE....

got my first ticket for KPE on 1st day collection.

�

Previous ride was 318i, always cruise at 84 km/h for 5 years. Did the same for mazda, but finally got my first demerits points after driving 18 yrs :(

�

i guess jap and conti has some difference in speed reporting.

Can try to waive off? Say first day of collection, not familiar with the car.

Great to be part of this group now! Just collected my Mazda 3 HB yesterday evening after spending 6 great years with my previous Mazda 2 HB. Looking forward to more zoom zoom years ahead!

just wondering... how come u decide to change after 6 years only?

Haha..two main reasons actually! Was waiting for the COE to fall further and also because my previous MZ 2 was still running quite well..hence no urgent need to change before..but decided to just wing it and purchase the MZ 3 due to a great promo price and the recent bad news from Uber, GrabCar and SMRT intending to soak up the excess COE supply..

Means you bought your car too early.. because according to some people here, can only buy when car COE is up. If not you are KCS or Kan Chiong Spider.. because you just helped to increase demand for COE thus pushing it up further and therefore limiting these people's chances of ever changing their ride.

Good decision. Mz3 is a great car!

Thanks bro! The car really lives up to its "Zoom-zoom" pedigree

So quiet in this forum for these two days?
Happy Labour Day!
Anyone's having any issue with ur gps system?
My gps only works 50% of the time.
Another 50%, it will go holland.
When I drive to novena area, it will show that I'm at marina barrage.
I set detour sensitivity to be 0min
Will tell this to Mazda during my 1000km servicing.

Hi, can I check if most people get their insurance with TEK or get their own insurance elsewhere?

You might save $1k on outside insurance but you have to pay a higher car price or loose some so call free servicing . Myself I grab the free 3yrs servicing as it work out more than the $1k. But you can always find your favorite workshop to service at much more cheaper price.

Thanks! I believe if I get outside insurance, the car will cost $500 more.

Does it also mean if I get outside insurance, I cannot enjoy the 3 year free servicing?

I get the in house deal first. One year later, I will switch to another insurance company.

I think the AIG one is pretty good for new car. It's basically a 1 for 1 replacement in the event of loss. But ya, after a year most people will head outside to get their preferred insurance.

I got my car just one month ago and already need to try out AIG service liao due to claim against 3rd party. lol

Guys ... do u feel the stock handling of the car can be better ?

I feel like doing triple s and front stunt bar ....

10K servicing got rotate and Balance front tyres? Sure boh? thks!

anyone can share whats the latest price for Mazda 3 sedan now?want to compare the price my SE quoted me.

Where got so good? My 10K is change EO and i hope oil filter, haha. No slip and no info was given as i did night servicing.

mine change engine oil shell synthetic, oil filter, clean air filter, tyre rotation and balancing, oil plug, use air blower clean engine compartment and NO car wash! 8am till 10.30am sharp!

Thats damn good servicing man. You must know the mechs and SA there well.

�

wow, really 1 to 1 replacement, even if kena stolen in Malaysia? I heard at most the insurance will compensate back the paper value only...

I just did a check.

�

95 Shell is $1.79

95 Esso is $1.89

�

10 Cents difference.

�

however 95 shell is $1.89 before discount, after discount is $1.79 - this discount is based of what?

if got shell escape card and citibank will i get the following based of the $1.79 rate or $1.89 rate?

�

5% Shell site discount, 5% Shell Escape Card discount, 4% Citi Rebate (after Shell discounts)

Thanks! I believe if I get outside insurance, the car will cost $500 more.

Does it also mean if I get outside insurance, I cannot enjoy the 3 year free servicing?

This is not cast in stone and is negotiable. No car distributor would be so silly to forgo a deal with five figure profit margin over $500.

Car camera installation

My installer did the installation to draw the power from the fuse box. We tested that the fuse box connection only works when the engine is on. For the parking mode I used cellinkB. Any issue here with respect to battery problems?

Does anyone know what is the 3 indicator flasher setting for? Under setting, vehicle, turn, first option. What is that?

I believe is that when you push your indicator stock to signal, but not fully engage, sort of like half engage, you indicator will flash 3x.

Does anyone know what is the 3 indicator flasher setting for? Under setting, vehicle, turn, first option. What is that?

�It's for quick lane change. If you slide the signal stalk up or down and let go immediately without latching it,�the turns signals will flash three times and then switch off automatically or means�you slightly push signal stick on the direction you want to go and let go.�I think�Useful and easy for lane changes though i seldom use it

Guys ... do u feel the stock handling of the car can be better ?

I would suggest Eibach instead of Triple S. I am skeptical of a manifacturer which produces lowering springs for almost all car models. This only means one thing. No research effort goes into their product lines.

If you want to improve handling, you would be better off with a rear sway bar. UR make a sway bar for our car. Alternatively, you can go for more expensive ones from AutoExe and Corksport.

Not sure about the stolen part. But the replacement was mentioned by the AIG rep and in the brochure. But I could be wrong!

i asked the AIG people before.. its termed "market value" ...

but confirm 1st year its 1 for 1..

�

Before I collected my car I was looking into replacing the stock suspension with coilovers, mainly for lowering my ride as I hate the gap in the wheel arch. However now that I've collected the car and driven it I don't think I will be replacing the suspension because the Mazda 3 just handles so well at stock.

�

Based on my research, if you are thinking of replacing�the suspension, you might want to consider german brand�Bilstein as they have a coilover (B14) that is specifically tuned for Mazda 3.�Cheers.

Congrats on your new ride! Enjoy the "Zoom Zoom" factor soon!

Hi, google leads me to this useful forum, just received my M3 last week, quite a nice car.

Just to find out any one install the sub woofer to the stock head set, as the stock set don't sound good.

Thanks all for any advice.

Anyone has the standard version with the local fitted infotainment device? Any comments on that. Had saw it fitted on one. It may be bigger but the interface seems a little dated and difficult to use.�

Thanks for your feedback . I just I will just top up to get a more reliable system . If 100k is peanuts , 6 k is probably just the shell . Not an issue .

What is SSS?

Lowering springs from Taiwan.

Sub woofer won't make a difference unless you change main speakers. As u know the stock speakers are 25w Vietnam made oem paper cone speakers. Many of us changed the speakers and even added amp. Send PM for my setup.

Im on standard.. Running 3way active.. Didnt get the deluxe because of the heavy ICE. Next project is to customise a single din dvd for my processor.

wahh...u look down on standard wor....me standard...so shall not comment..

No i'm not.

�

But those whom want standard must understand this new HU is already upgraded from the old ANALOG one! Upgraded liao now wanna compare with the deluxe, seriously? There's a segregation for a purpose.

�

If want standard, go and zeng like e deluxe at a cheaper cost.

�

Want deluxe, den no zeng as much as a standard.

�

This is the standard for ppl wanting standard dio bo?!

we all stock heroes just take deluxe n sua :(

Thanks for your feedback . I just I will just top up to get a more reliable system . If 100k is peanuts , 6 k is probably just the shell . Not an issue .

�

Its the honest hard truth. You are already 100k but yet scrutinizing the difference. If you are, that probably mean you are not prepared to pay the upgrade for the deluxe. If you are, you would save up a few more mths for it. No issue at all.

�

And the diff between standard and deluxe is not just for the HU. The car must suit YOUR specifications, not suit others or refrain from uncomfortable questions from others. If you are happy with it, go for it!

No i'm not.

I was asking on reliability not affordability but thanks anyways . I guess everyone has their own opinions . For one I cannot figure out why someone would buy a 2 litre m3 when a few k can get them the gorgeous 6 . Go figure huh ?
Guess everyone has their own version of what value means.

Yup you are right.

I would definitely get the gorgeous 6 if it was just 'a few k'.

unfortunately it was 20k from the DELUXE 3 against the DELUXE 6 at time of sale :(

Because power to weight ratio? Mazda 6 too long and heavy for 2L, need to get the 2.5L.

not only that. if they are comparing a deluxe 3 against a standard 6, alot of things missing out, starting with having to make do with halogen lamps already sian half. higher insurance cost just to mention a couple,

Bought the original mazda pedals and sunshades (made in Japan) from Thailand :) quality so much better than taobao!

M3 looks more sporty than M6. Nowadays, u can see many M3s on the road. And one shot u can tell between the difference M3 and M6. M6 looks like more family sedan.

�

M3 Deluxe and M3 2L also has more features than standard M6.

�

So, yes. All boil down to individual preferences.

Anyone has the standard version with the local fitted infotainment device? Any comments on that. Had saw it fitted on one. It may be bigger but the interface seems a little dated and difficult to use.

I have that. Its 8 inch, so slightly bigger than the OEM one. Its probably some taiwan/china product but definitely an upgrade from the standard radio panel. Touch screen only.

Functions include
1.GPS from galactio with SLA map. Collected my ride early feb and the gps has no problem navigating to the new estates in punggol / seng kang or down to the house number in private estates.
2. Reverse cam - big plus for those staying in landed property with kids or dogs
3. DVD player - only works when parked (safety)
4. Games including strip majong, yes u didn't read wrongly. LOL
5. USB interface
6. Radio
7. Bluetooth connection with your phone

Complaints:
When I collected my car the touchscreen sensitivity was off on the right side. Problem resolved on first servicing. The technician only had to reconfigure the touchscreen limits using the built in configuration program.
Radio stations tuning and setting are not intuitive.
Can't play songs from iphone via USB, had to work around using bluetooth or AUX

Bottom line - definitely an upgrade from the standard radio panel. GPS and reverse cam are major pluses without paying 6k extra (of course 6k gets u more than these). For me, I have no affection for the extra bells n whistles, would prefer to pay more for 2 litre or even a manual gearbox but money hard to earn la haha

Hope this helps!

My SE did mention that there may be more functions but I didn't explore. Hell, I don't even use my GPS

Forgot about the insulator if not I might buy it also.. But it's a little too big to be transported isn't it

Civic 1.6 selling $110k. Look like a good buy, comparing with the current price of Mazda deluxe sedan. But dunno the specifications.

strip mahjong, that's gonna help with decisions i'm sure

Eyes on the road... Not on ur mahjong!!!

Thailand do not sell Mazda 3 bonnet insulator. Next for me is the a/c filter :)

for 1.5T- price should be 120+..

Yes. But I'm comparing price of 1.5 Mazda 3 with 1.6 Honda Civic. Turbo aside.

Mazda 3 wins hands down. Talking about features, country of make, looks.

Just had it installed today, I like it :)

I have that. Its 8 inch, so slightly bigger than the OEM one. Its probably some taiwan/china product but definitely an upgrade from the standard radio panel. Touch screen only.

Functions include
1.GPS from galactio with SLA map. Collected my ride early feb and the gps has no problem navigating to the new estates in punggol / seng kang or down to the house number in private estates.
2. Reverse cam - big plus for those staying in landed property with kids or dogs
3. DVD player - only works when parked (safety)
4. Games including strip majong, yes u didn't read wrongly. LOL
5. USB interface
6. Radio
7. Bluetooth connection with your phone

Complaints:
When I collected my car the touchscreen sensitivity was off on the right side. Problem resolved on first servicing. The technician only had to reconfigure the touchscreen limits using the built in configuration program.
Radio stations tuning and setting are not intuitive.
Can't play songs from iphone via USB, had to work around using bluetooth or AUX

Bottom line - definitely an upgrade from the standard radio panel. GPS and reverse cam are major pluses without paying 6k extra (of course 6k gets u more than these). For me, I have no affection for the extra bells n whistles, would prefer to pay more for 2 litre or even a manual gearbox but money hard to earn la haha

Hope this helps!

Galactio GPS is much better compare to TomTom in SG. I miss my Galactio. TomTom is better for MY though...�

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised too! Though my only other GPS experience was using�Tom Tom in Australia.

�

In the few times when I actually turned on the GPS, Galactio some how has a good mix of info, distance to the next turn, variable zoom at the correct critical time. I remember always taking a turn too early or late when using Tom Tom in Australia.

Hi.

�

the Istop icon�will normally appear (yellow sign)�when�we start the car engine.

�

Since yesterday evening, my yellow istop icon�suddenly doesn't�appear anymore; when I press the istop button, the orange istop�icon appears. When I press again, the orange istop icon disappears and doesn't change to yellow icon.

�

Am worried that the battery got problem. Does anyone know?

Just had it installed today, I like it :)

How much is it? I bought a similar boot tray (fake leather) type from TB for abt 60 after shipping but the quality is a suspect. Doesnt look at nice as this one. Then i realise mazda thailand sells the original rubber type boot tray for maybe 30 bucks more only after shipping. Yeah more ex but its original! :(

Correction. Sry for the confusion. I just check with my wife and boot tray is 46 chinese yuan. Thats 9 sgd. Not complaining anymore.

There are specific conditions for iStop to work. Need to check the manual for the full set of conditions.

�

The general rule of thumb is that your air con must not be turned too low, and you must have driven for a while for the batteries to be charged up.

The original Mazda boot tray is plastic, not rubber.

You can dream about it. if you are willing to pay for these 'features', it will end up within a Merc A-class price, due to our taxation.

TEC don't entertain indent basis. I've asked before.

U mean the one second when all warning lights are turned on after engine start?

The button is just to toggle it off or on (page 4-21)

Yeah, if you want only the 2.5 Lux version will give you most of the safety suite found in other country. Only MRCC is not offered on the table. Even the SCBS has been taken out.
