    Deadlock is it child safety locked ?

    That one only can be unlocked from outside if so.


    And the door unlock settings do have timing like 15, 30, 60s iirc.

    Btw I drive e 2 not 3.

    Does mazda Singapore sells the original mazda 3 sports pedals?

    Dead lock is anti-theft double locking deterrence, meaning even if the thief smashed through, s(he) cannot open door. (S)he needs to climb in and out of the broken window to access the car. Even if you unlock child lock also cannot open door from inside. Only way�to unlock is using key or remote.

    Hi, I just collected my Mazda 3 a couple of weeks back. Anyone knows if we can change my front component speakers and add an active subwoofer to the entertainment console? If possible, what are the :

    a. �good and inexpensive component speakers?�

    b. �recommendation for seller and installer?

    Thanks�

    Will void warranty. But if u are not worried, go for dls or focal speakers for reasonably priced speakers.

    Else do this

    Because stock player is lousy in terms of quality. Processor can only help abit but still its rubbish in. And please, alot of cars has integrated system using standard din size.


    I beg to differ. Usually the line out from cd is pretty good and clean though they are not to the golden ears standard. Radio are crap but alpine HU sucks at that too. I have change quite a fair bit for my old mazda 6 till I ended up with a pioneer p99.

    i tested using thumbdrive n cd; all sounded very ok, staging also ok.

    advice is try not to mod cos after mod, no guarantee sound as balanced -> end up spend more on amp, hu etc. also may need to deal with looser door panels after removal for once / twice (need to get new fasteners) -> potential rattling.

    when sell car, need to demod abit troublesome -> cut cable, missing connector etc (this one next owner gotta deal w it).

    Yeah. Seems like these days very little shops have a setup for you to test the sound. What I do is I will ask the shop if they had done any M3, just so I know if they know where and how to remove the panels.

    yes, and even if there is a setup, u won't know the full equipment required to produce that kinda sound - mayb installer tells u spkr setup w/o amp but actually w amp, or used certain cables etc. moreover, listening in shop setup =/= car setup effect. later u not satisfied after install, installer says due to no soundproof etc, then u sian/2.

    setup sample, if any, i think can only go autobacs to listen, subject to limited range of HU & spkr.

    Hey hey Mazda3 owners, I'm wondering, just how many of you did soundproofing/soundcladding for your Mazda3? Does it help a lot, or is the car's factory insulation really poor?

    Strangely the sound quality, as I've tested, for radio, cd and iPhone are all different! But one thing for sure: never ever judge car audio quality with FM radio!

    one reviewer, I think Canadian, with hatchback Mazda3 GT, complained about the antenna quality. He said it's quite frankly, #$%.

    Demo room and car is different. For those who think that stock is good, probably you have not heard a properly tuned setup.

    Go to a proper installer and get it tune. Then u will know how bad the stock is.

    1. connector adaptor for spkr not used in local market; this eliminates the need to splice or cut orig connecter from orig spkr cables n less non-destructive method (merit here is ease of demod due to reversible ).

    2. Spkr spacers all using mdf ring where having proper speaker bracket is proper way; some car door panel can't snap fit back coz mdf ring too thick.

    3. proper practice by using correct screws with original grommet instead of one size fits all self tapping screws, adding unnecessary screw holes to ur metal inner door panels, is not being practiced.

    $95k Mazda 3 standard is coming liao.

    Think deluxe is most likely to be $102k.

    For potential buyers, time to huat liao. Last coe drop 2k, Mazda cut prices by 5k. Now dropped another 3k, Mazda cut prices by another 5k?

    Maybe can ask whether those who book in the last 2 weeks whether they got their COE, if so it is possible.
    Anyway with bigger quota, think that $95k Mazda 3 is definitely coming just the timing.

    If you had gotten your ride, it would means euro Kars have only made a profit of $6k on you. From their usual profit margin, it's $15-16k profit per car.

    So you have to wait for coe to drop further.

    I didnt choose. There was only 1 option. Hahaha



    Got option, top up for guaranteed coe.

    If coe prices drop further, you will get your ride. Otherwise, you may have to top up as yours is 6 bids NON guaranteed COE package

    This is non-guarantee price. Rebate level should be around $42k to $44k. If you have a car to trade-in, your price will become guarantee and normally get some indirect discount from the trade-in car. That means they may offer slightly higher value. Freebie depends on you bargain and choose a good SE will have more freebies. Mazda is thinking the COE will be down next round.

    if have time, can visit all the use car dealers to RFQ, but that is if u have time.....

    I didn't need many of the stuff in the deluxe... keyless entry is a total gimmick (since there is already start/stop button), satnav refresh need to pay $, and foglamps are purely for aesthetics (since when did singapore have fog?)

    some other stuff that i feel should be standard across the range are heads-up display and 4 airbags. unfortunately this is not an a la carte and cannot pick and choose. but the motor industry should really move towards a standardised safety package.

    Erm... I sat in the deluxe and sat in the standard version... really very different.... anyway SE said more deluxe was sold compared to std.

    I checked sgcarmart margin for both units, think std margin is better than deluxe.
    Sorry. Margin for std is lower. Saw wrongly

    But city, Almeria and even new Vios rear legroom space even better than higher category Mazda 3. Mazda 3 may have 2700mm wheelbase very good specs on paper but sitting at the back sure brings you back to old Vios legroom feeling.


    From Wikipedia, I remembered wrong, it's true that Honda city has good rear legroom space.


    The sixth generation City offers a class-leading wheelbase length of 2,600mm, which is approximately 50mm longer than its predecessor. The shoulder, leg, and knee rooms have also been extended by 40mm, 60mm and 70mm respectively.[26]

    Same la...vios about the price of mazda 3

    Almeria slightly cheaper than Mazda 3 but it's rear legroom and headroom will bring many cars to shame including Altos.

    But if you have a family, passenger space and legroom are very important.

    Hopefully in ten years time, Mazda 3 can improve its passenger space and legroom along with the new Skyactiv 3, then it will finally be time for me to give up manual transmission.

    Haha if want compare like that then my bad loh.

    Yeah its true. Why I chose my current ride is cause my family really like the spaciousness of the interior. Since I'm quite "flexible", car can drive can liao, so they happy I also happy.

    Won't take them 10. Probably 3 to 5? Next few generations perhaps.

    Frankly I was a little disappointed that it does not come with 17" this time. Otoh, it's for the better as 17" tyres are not cheap and gives a bumpier ride. Was using Michelin PS 3 previously and it was super bumpy. Plus sg roads are horrible these days.

    The official reason for not giving you 18", is that if they did, it will affect fuel economy, and then the car they delivered to you would not be performing at the claimed specs, then they would be misrepresenting.

    Really smart. Can't argue with that, can you?

    In almost all known publicity materials of the M3 they're in 18". So when I saw the car in real life, it was actually a bit underwhelming.

    Publicity materials include the Singaporean ads, too. But how many 2.0 did they sell...

    I had the 1st gen Mz3 in 2005.... A decade & 2 gens later, the legroom has not improved. All the increase in length & wheelbase went to the asthetic (bonnet)

    some other stuff that i feel should be standard across the range are heads-up display and 4 airbags. unfortunately this is not an a la carte and cannot pick and choose. but the motor industry should really move towards a standardised safety package.

    Small luxury features like this add to feel good factor lah. Different people different mentality.. some don't mind spartan interior with minimal creature comforts because worry about reliability or budget issues. Some prefer to have as many tech gadgets as possible so have the upmarket feel.. conti feel. Weird though, buy Japanese cars but look for conti feel.
