    The thread is dead. So im sorry for asking here. Hows the car with regards to fc, reliability, power, and maintenance? Nirecommend ko sa friend ko to eh. Mababa kasi resale value and gwapo pa rin naman tingnan. Specially yung smoked na yung lights. Are there any known or common issues with this car? Thanks!

    Like the Focus, the Mazda 3 is a solid car. But this also means it has an additional weight penalty. And while the Focus employed 1.8L and 2.0L engines, the Mazda 3 soldiered on with the weak 1.6L. This resulted in poor performance and high fuel consumption, further aggravated by the matic tranny. Kung kukuha I suggest yung 2.0L nalang.

    I wish the mazda 3 had a 1.8 variant. Same with the lancer and altis. Parang perfect balance ang 1.8 variants eh. Oh well. Thanks!
