MAZDA 6

[richard_crl032]

Thanks richard! For me, its the keyless entry that appeals to me since its almost a basic feature for other cars.

Congrats bro. I heard the latest version is on preorder status. Next shipment probably in late nov/dec.

 

Those with white interior have to wait till jan 2019 :/

 

Hi thesoul,

 

Most importantly, just secured COE on 4th non guaranteed bid and just car must be arriving so ... lol !!

 

Half hearted 1st bid at 22k+, 2nd bid as surprising high 30k+ but missed by 700 and 3rd bid also missed but 307.

 

Quietly confident will get this 4th bid successful  since paid 1.5k more than current booking despite good 1.5k discount after "management decision" else dun buy thing but still pleasantly surprised that bid was up up at 33.5k against successful bid of 31k+.

 

Can start shopping at yahoo! Japan, aliexpress, ezbuy, taobao and carousell liao ... keke !

 

Cheers,

my Mazda 2018 executive less than 3 month already got hit and run.

 

I noticed the paint work is kinda thin, my right side mirror kena chip off and right door panel got scratches.

 

Guys u better park ur car carefully and it would be best check with SE can install 24/7 Car Cam battery anot from what I understand they say will void. Please take care of your car.

 

Just wanna share my experience and cost and claim procedure. Not trying to derail the thread.

 

My picture is in this thread.

Had a similar experience... Less than 2 months and someone left 4 scratches on my door on purpose.

 

Very pissed off and immediately next day went to install new camera with 24/7 using battery pack. Hesitated previously due to the threat of warranty and ended up no evidence and deterrence to vandals. On hindsight voiding the warranty of the battery is really a non issue... Battery doesn't cost that much anyway... And the blaupunkt camera that came with the car really cmi...

Honestly IMO the m6 is one of the chioest sedans around currently, putting even continentals to shame in terms of sleekness and road presence. It is no wonder vandals target this car. In their mind, it’s always about maximum impact.

 

I was thinking whether to install external battery pack but worried also cos almost always park under hot sun. Not sure external battery will catch fire or not

Hi Jiak,

 

These added dvr batteries are specially designed lithium and explosive proof type.

 

Installers will tupically have it under cool shade of under drive seats.

Thinkware F800 pro. Much sharper than the blaupunkt that came with the car.

Hi Richard, we might be the same delivery window then. I was wondering if the typhoon had affected the timing of this batch too

Hi Richard, I got my Coe sometime in August, but I was told that the car would arrive sometime in October, latest by early November when I placed the deposit.

 

Guess the demand from the first few days of launch was too good, all the available stock and September shipment were sold liao

I recommend u just go change it. No parking record really takes away half the benefits of having a car cam.
