2014 Mazda 3

[NewbDriver]

Naka-display sa Greenhills kahapon 'yung bagong "entry-level" na Mazda 3 (without skyactiv).
Basic entertainment system, no center console controls, hubcaps.
Iba rin ang seats nya.

[jcal68]

At only 66k difference from the 1.5V sedan, I will not buy this new entry level.

The price we pay for technology. So you don't use a smartphone?

i think what he meant is cars nowadays are like smart phones. like smartphones that if they break, replacement is more economic than repair. Modern cars are "disposable"from the japanese standpoint unlike with american cars having that "classic" appeal. try to watch dmax programs of discovery channel and be surprised how americans are so attached to their classic cars.

Sorry sir but i can't relate on smartphones and cars. Technology of phones are useful in this day and age but many features of cars are really not needed in my opinion. Take for example the push button start. It makes us users lazy. Can't we now turn a key?Anyway sir it's just my opinion and it's a free country.[emoji4]

Mazda mentioned that the next stage of skyactive is the use of electric motors for power train.

The Prius' compressor is driven by an electric motor. Guess who signed a partnership with Toyota a few days ago

I got 3 keys with me... elantra corolla and mazda3 sedan

biggest interior elantra> corolla> mazda3
interior build mazda3> elantra> corolla
2nd row space corolla> elantra> mazda3
boot space elantra> corolla>>> mazda3 (really cramped)

start stop....on the mazda3 is so convenient.

engine bay on the mazda3 is so bare. saw one "made in the philippines" sticker one one wiring harness lol

high alternator location.

interior is cramped on the mazda3.

next generation 2016 elantra will trump the competition. lol

Hahaha! Pero for me, the bare the engine bay is, the better. IMO, I find the engine bay of the 3 na spacious. Madaling kumalikot at maglinis

well why put a camera in a phone?? these technology of modern cars is just a way to innovate and put items to make a car like it was first invented.. exciting!! like i said before cars nowadays are disposable.. if it breaks. replace. even some parts are sold as an assembly.

mazda 3 new offerings is to bring to the public the hype of "hybrid"

what's wrong with "made in the Philippines"?? i know there is a factory in batangas that manufactures automotive wiring harness.

May nakapagpakabit na ba ng dashcam for Mazda 3?
Parang sa panahon ngayon kailangan na talaga eh.

Meron na. Any type will do. May smartphone app din daw na similar ang functions. Ang mahirap lang is hiding the wires.

Sir is not a camera in a phone useful than putting push start button on a car?

you just say that because you have it now and found a use for it.. but decades back people will laugh at the idea of putting a camera on a telephone.. imagine your ice-shaver-film-camera attached to your nostalgic bell telephone..

push start button is just a switch nothing more.. car makers want the use of cars very simple. its just the traditional use of keys in cars making the push start button somewhat special.. well next time we can use keys to switch on lights in our house..

Push button start is an old technology used way back in the late 50's early 60s. Mga jeep during those days push start buttons meron pa step button. I remember my cousin jeepney and uncle's Land Rover uses push start buttons. The only difference then is, they still insert the key while today, the car sense the remote to trigger the button to function.

I saw on YouTube that the engine bay length was specifically designed as part of the skyactive technology. It has something to do with the center of gravity and requirement against high compression knocking.

[jcal68]

That's good. The feeling of animosity between Japan and Korea tend to outdo each other.
This will lead to better options for us.
But for now let Mazda 3 rests on its laurels with the discriminating few.

^ yup. I agree. Pati mga automatic headlight at wiper. Useless talaga for me. Pero yung iba naman hinahanap na talaga ng mga customer like bluetooth

Mas maganda pa nga gawin standard na yun bluetooth sa cars e. Useful pa sa owner kesa auto headlight,auto wiper,push start etc.

Bro i think the point is, it's an improvement to what we had before. A push button keypad works exactly the same as a touch screen keypad. Pero that's a feature kasi much more flexible ang touch screen.

Same with cars. A car with istop/eloop saves fuel than cars that don't. But is it harder/more expensive to maintain? Yes.

Same goes with a smartphone. If a push button keypad gets broken, you only replace the button. But when a touch screen gets broken, you replace the whole screen.

Technology will be most of the time expensive. But we get what we pay for, right? [emoji6] kanya kanyang gimik lang yan kada manufacturer. It's for us consumers to decide which one we think will work for us. [emoji4]
