Japanese Car Brand

Frostlord — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 11:27:22 +0800

Hi all

Planning to change car from my Peugeot 408 to Japanese car brand as there wont be any Peugeot Sedan in MY anymore

currently looking at Mazda 3 and Honda Civic. hoping can get some test drive later this week

I have only visited the Mazda showroom but didnt get the chance to test drive yet, so some of my question below is based from the Mazda salesman input. Well salesman is salesman, i want to find out the real picture

1. Sky-activ engine vs Turbo engine
in terms of repair and maintenance, which one is easier to maintain?

2. Service cost
are they both similar (+- 10%)? Mazda insist they are the premium brand but cant provide me the estimated service cost.

3. Car quality
any comment on both of the brand? Hope someone that have experience with both can chip in

4. 3P Workshop
This is a bit of a stretch. First 5 years will be going to official SC if possible but it is a bit far from my place. so probably will be sending it to 3P SC for minor issue. are the mechanic familiar with Mazda car? I rarely see any Mazda car in the workshop near me, so unsure if they all send to specialized 3P workshop

Thanks in advance

Fans - Recommendation and Review

Frostlord — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 22:02:13 +0800

Hi all,

My KDK remote fan in my study room starts to breakdown. It has squeaky noise while turn on and it cant remain turn on (will turn off and on again intermittently every 1s)

Also due to the room lighting, i plan to get a Fan with lights. My other room is using Alpha brand and is serving me well for more than 5 years. Unfortunately the shop where i buy it from no longer brings in Fan and focus solely on their core business (lighting)

I have a few questions
1. What is the recommended brand for fans with lights? Is KDK still the preferred brand?
2. Any recommended shop near damansara area (close to SS2) to recommend? The appliance shops in SS2 mostly carry KDK, Deka and Bayu Air

PS : previously i was interested in Deka Ruby Fan. But changed my mind after a member here complained that his DEKA fan wingblade broke off

Thanks in advance

Celcom new tagline

Frostlord — Thu, 28 Apr 2016 20:57:23 +0800

They should change to new tagline - be prepared for headache

Roaming service unavailable in Thailand. Called their careline, been put on hold for 15 minutes (charges applied) despite being told I'm in Thailand at the moment and can't even make call.

Before my trip I called them and ask. According to them roaming process is similar to maxis. Choose their roaming partner and it will work. Apparently it's not. Imagine coming over here for business trip and can't even make call, no data and got stuck in their infamous traffic jam

Frostlord — Tue, 19 May 2015 18:10:48 +0800
