2014 Mazda 3

Sirs, medyo di ko ata matatagalan un busina nya, ano un ma ssuggest niyo na pang upgrade dun and if ever di mavvoid un warranty sa electrical kung may ganun ba hehe

Congrats! Sana makasali ka rin sa club namin.

Busina? Nothing beats Bosch Europa (silver). Pero kung gusto mong mapa-iba, dahil halos madami na ang naka-Europa, suggest ko eh Mitsuba naman. Wag nga lang yun turbine kunin mo kasi mabilis daw masira yun. Kunin mo yun Arena II, may kamahalan nga lang pero maganda tumunog yun. Try mo mag-audition sa Youtube ng mga busina. Pero kung talagang type mo ang Bosch Europa, then go for it! Parang made for Mz3 ang Europa talaga

Finally I got my M3 2.0 hb na sarap idrive kahit medyo kumakapa kapa pa sa features nya hehe decided to have Vkool oem 20 sa ws then oem 5 sa front side oem 20 sa rear window pati rear side. Wala talaga budget for the X series e. ask ko lang practical kaya ipa tint pa un sunroof?

Grats sir! Ganyan din feeling ko nung nailabas ko sa casa yung Mz3 ko, kapa kapa sa features ng new car. From your handle, mukhang naka Jazz ka dati then switch to Mz3. Hehe.

Good day guys. Been a lurker here for several days. My father and I decided to get the m3 speed. What do you think of the aluminum metallic for the new color of m3 speed? Need more insights. Thanks!

I was like you bro, been a lurker for quite some time before I got my unit, difference was I only considered buying the 1.5v due to budget constraints. I have the Aluminum Metallic but given the chance, I'd buy the Soul Red be it Speed or the 2.0R hatch/sedan. Sadly this color isnt offered for the low-end variants. Good thing that Mazda decided to include Aluminum Metallic on their Speed variant. Aluminum Metallic very easy to maintain.

Thanks for your insights sir. Yes madali tlga imaintain ang aluminun metallic/silver cars. As per SA meron daw soul red na sedan kaso parang mas ok kasi ako sa speed variant. Mas sulit kasi in my own opinion.

*Geo hehe no sir, nagkataon lang jazz un naisipan ko na handle name eversince

*Louie - thanks sir! try ko inquire sa SA ko un bosch

[Geo_S]

*Geo hehe no sir, nagkataon lang jazz un naisipan ko na handle name eversince

Haha. Kala ko naka Jazz ka dati eh. Jazz VX and Altis G AT kase option ko dati nung nagtitingin ako last year. Those were on my shortlist kase eto ang mga nasa price range /budget ko. I'm very happy and satisfied with my Mz3 coming from Toyota and Honda rides. No regrets that I took the plunge with the Skyactiv technology. Isa pa, pogi talaga siya either hatch or sedan pati kahit anong color pa. Sali ka sa FB group sir. Bait din mga club members dun. ☺

Noob question: yung nakikita bang parang 2 round speakers in the grille/radiator area ay yung aftermarket na busina? And kung nag europa ka ba ganun din itsura sa Mz3?

Regarding white color turning yellow over time, usually it's the low end, budget cars that have this issue since they use cheaper painting process. Since Mazda3 is CBU from Japan, I doubt if the color will fade to yellowish color. A relative's white 2008 CR-V does not seem to exhibit uneven color fading. It's garaged but the rear part is exposed to sunlight for most of the day.

sa mga Speed Variant owners. kamusta naman ang white leather seats? madali bang ma-stain or madumihan o madali naman siya malinis?

pinakaissue ko lang sa white leather seats baka magyellow rin over time sa mantsa, tsaka main issue with mazda's leather seats is yung himulmol baka lumabas dun sa perforated areas, may mazda cx-5 kasi akong nakita sa showroom non na yung fabric sa ilalim lumalabas na dun sa perforated areas, reminded me of popping whiteheads.

Welcome bro. Just my 2 cents, if you really like the Soul Red Speed, wait for it to be available. Nothing beats what your heart truly desires.

Nevertheless, I am sure you won't end up regretting if you get the silver speed. Pros, easy to maintain. Safe color. 16.8k cheaper than soul red. Cons, common color. Not catchy as the soul red though subjective and just my personal opinion.

Anyway, congrats on your soon to be baby Mz3!

i know this is off topic, but anyone here got apprehended for overspeeding in slex southbound (eton-calamba)? Ingat mhigpit sila sa overspeeding now a days. Sarap pa nman ihataw ng mz3 natin hehe

[macsd]

I missed to notice this when i test drove the M3, does it have a RPM gauge ?

[travajante]

LOL'd on the white leather-DOM connection. Gone are DOMs of old who wear & prefer everything white....even their paramours.

Reasons why I 'd never go white:
-can't wear jeans. Denim stains on light.
-can't drink coffee nor eat in-cabin for fear of spills
-pointless to have leather, only to cover em.
-I'm too dirty(my work deals dirt daily) to wear anything white, much more sit on em.
-anything white ages faster....look at caucasians.
-I'm black by heart & not a racist.

Finally guinea pig'd the hobo 1.5 w/ the well reviewed Racing Beat 2.0/2.5 M3 axleback......(tons of thanks to the bud who kindheartedly pursued & shipped this from across the Pacific).
Lovin' the look, the blind-install fit, the deep low burble & the imagined horses.
