    but again like on the 2016 model as on 2019 model . As i see to your channel you got more option on the Mazda 3 . Japan must give the option world wide .
    And not only for them self . the air fans for the back or cd player or the sun roof that part is all missing on the europe Mazda 3 i think as Japan give the same option world wide .More people will pay for it .
    I'm not talking about the engine that has to do with emessi zone .

    A BIG BUT:
    Ever since July 2018, I faced some Product Defects. I found out that Mazda Malaysia AfterSales Services are so POOR that I am going to take TRIBUNAL with them with the Product Defects Issue.
    It makes me think that whether should I buy another New Mazda in near future.

    3rd after i use keyless entry system i seldom put it out or leave it inside the car , also mazda will auto lock after you leave the car so i don't think will have people got this problem lock itself ..... also if key inside did the car will lock when you press key button at boot there ? coz mazda if my wife key is in the beg inside the car i can't even lock will alert from beep sound

The only advantage of it would be to write an address into the navigation. I do like that Mazda have sense in terms of design.
    As for the lack of power, sure, the car could use a turbo, but, if we think about it, that is not a racing car, want power? Go get a focus, or Gti of any brand.
