Thanks for describing the facts. Good to know all these models and their battery voltage.

However, it seems that for some users who have FC of around 11-12... It doesn't seem to out perform its previous model of Mz3. Hence, quoting that the m hybrid might be ineffective in this case.

I'm getting consistently 16-17 per tank. I would feel more justifiable if its calculated per tank instead of some drivers who felt per trip is more importantly.

as m-hybrid doesn't have an actual motor, short distance driving would be similar to ICE and that the ISG doesn't always kick in unless you really step hard down when taking off..

I thought I remembered I saw a wiper for rear windscreen in the showroom but this doesn't.

What's the difference in the calculations though? It's still measured km/L whether it's full tank or till next top up. Any insights?

Those photos look doctored. The mz3 hatch looks good, but those look like a tesla, imo.

A quick check here. Mine is the 2017 M3. The istop keep blinking with the triangle warning sign. Sometimes After I switch off engine and restarts, it is gone but other days it appears again. I never use istop. Any problem or how to reset it?

The calculation is the same way. Per trip is more for driving efficiency whereas per tank is more for average driving efficiency. I don’t really trust the automatic calculation. I prefer doing my own based on how many km I ran and how much I pumped in. But again, manual calculation won’t differ a lot from automatic calculation.

Your 12V battery might be malfunctioning due to wear and tear or the i-Eloop capacitor needs a replacement..

Hi, thanks. The battery still strong with the starting so I guess the capacitor could be the issue. I don't use this feature,  so ok to ignore?

Get the battery checked. 

With low daily mileage, the battery may not be properly charged most of the time.

Cannot remember when was the last replacement,  but it is about time liao.

Dude, the m-hybrid is unlike the conventional hybrid.

I am not expecting results from a conventional hybrid. It's called mild-hybrid for a reason. I am comparing BP users with 11km/L and previous model of Mz3 which is also clocking the similar FC.

Alamak, just replaced battery. Still blink leh

Give it 1-2 days.

I found this and was think to do it before I drive home this evening. Then when I start the car, light gone. Will update tomorrow if everything OK now. 

[Victor68]

OK guys, after battery change, back to normal. You need to let the system adjust I think. From this episode,  I now can use this istop to monitor battery condition. Blink, time to replace battery. Have a great weekend ahead everybody.

Yesterday I saw a police car using the latest Mazda 3 Mild Hybrid model. Solid!!!

It is parked outside Pek Kio Market and Food Centre.
