Actually, even if you don't make "hataw", the power difference is very much apparent in everyday driving. This is especially evident when you're on ramps, and trying to ferry 4 people? PATAY! Sluggish na. This is coming from a former Mazda3 driver Fuel economy was from 7.5-8.5km/L. Either that or I just love the suspension too much... feeling Beemer 3-series. Haha..
