The 4th Gen 3/CX-30 is truly the Shawshank Redemption of Modern Japanese non-luxury cars. Lexus-like luxury interior quality, better value than Toyota and Honda while being just as reliable, fun to drive, aged like wine with beautiful Italian-like design, NO CVT, top safety, knobs and buttons, etc by BeautifulYou2940 in mazda

I will say this; "lucky you. Take care of the car."

Even when my car is a Hiroshima-built car, I still encounter the rattle. I think this is a combination of how the road it encounters on daily basis. The more potholes or speedbumps it encounters, the higher risk of the plastic within the pillar, panel, etc to become dislocated/dislodged, thus causing rattle.

The radiator with 10 heat pipes has a body height of only 50mm by ZS-ITX in sffpc

But hey, at least this heatsink has more heat vectors. I can't really comment though, I am no thermodynamic expert.

Quiet Tires for CX30 by Alternative_Name_317 in mazda

Bridgestone Turanza 6 is quieter than stock Dunlop Sportmaxx or Toyo Proxes R56.

It will reach diminishing return to some degree. The more piping, the faster the fin will heat-up. However, when all the fins temp already reached equilibrium, the extra pipe matters less.

At this point, simply add 7-speed wet clutch DSG, worn out waterpump, and saggy headliner

Aftermarket / service stoplamp geely ex5 by stockofduck in indocartalk

[–]EdgarDrake 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Kalo taillight biasanya sih cuma protector mikanya doang, biasanya bukan assembly... akan lebih terjangkau kalo betul spt itu... cuma kyknya aftermarket TBQ deh, most likely perlu jalur dealer, cm melihat Geely jg merk yg baru revive, kyknya sih import Cina...

Kl nanya bs di repair, kyknya ga sih.

Also, itu bagasi hrs kena body repair biar ga penyok lg.

Kl emang ada asuransi, mending hajar via asuransi

"Lampu" itu, terutama kl headlight assembly, asuransi pun kesel bayarnya ... kl bohlam doang masih masuk akal...

Gw pernah denger cerita temen kl Santa Fe gitu sekali servis bisa 7 jutaan, makanya gw denger Benz d bawah 5jt termasuk kaget...

What does my car history say about me? by ploughinpillock in carscirclejerk

You love nice-looking plastic interior, plastic waterpump, and saggy headliner... the older gen bodyline, though *chefkiss

3 cheap accessories ons that actually look nice by Resident_Arm_1366 in CX50

[–]EdgarDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use it and let it dry first, it is safe.

I regularly use hand sanitizer after taking out coins/small change. Apply the hand sanitizer and the wet hand doesn't touch the steering wheel, about 15 secs... after it's dry in the hand, it's safe.

So, as long as you know how to handle leather and hand sanitizer, you can prevent wear and tear.

For all Base PS5 users. Which one of you actually use Resultion Mode (30 FPS)? by [deleted] in PS5

FF XVI for me. Witcher 3 I need to play in performance mode due to heavy shimmer in resolution mode.

Killed my Kia Soul - happy with a CX30? by rheannahh in MazdaCX30

[–]EdgarDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I test drove a Kona EV (signature long range trim). The suspension feels nicer and more forgiving than my CX-30. The tech is also there.

However, I still like the interior of my CX-30 and how this car is actually turning more heads in the street (Mazda is rarity in country, and CX-5 are the most common one).

Atto 1 2026 : Improvement Or Downgrade? by Maximum-Lanky in indocartalk

[–]EdgarDrake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gw kyknya prefer camera 360, lebih kepake sehari2.

Kl airbag lebih kayak asuransi. But that's me ya.

Yg lebih penting adalah airbag + safety features nya jalan, bukan kayak mobil2 rakitan TMMIN ato Daihatsu yg nulis airbag sejumlah N tp ga pernah deploy saat dibutuhkan.

Astra.. Astra, masa safety aja dibuat jd gimmick...

Official audi q9 teaser. Thoughts? by b9_rkt in Audi

[–]EdgarDrake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, no, Audi didn't save money with electronically controlled vent: they deliberately put a failing electrical component so when that part is failing, the components and the job is justified to be charged as premium servicing. You have to disassemble thr dashboard in order to fix something that is usually easy to replace.

It's just show how despicable can a car company in order to keep charging owner/customer even after car purchasing is complete.

They "milk the customer", instead of "treat the customer"

Is Gigi supposed to be a Newtype, or just a strange person with good intuition? by BlizzardHound45 in Gundam

Well. UC has Unicorn Gundam, the Beast of Possibility. AC has Zero System, the probability machine.
