2014 Mazda 3

Took a pic with the m3 with our subie last sat and it suddenly looked so bland and boring compared to the m3! [emoji16][emoji16] to the guy who's choosing between the xv and the m3, this is what you'll miss!

Thanks for the response travajante! Had the M3 for around 10months alreasy. Yes the dealer installed the insulator, infortunately, the "langitngit" sound is still there

Try having your suspension tightened, esp the endlinks; & have the cowl brace-firewall contacts greased or sealant-cushioned. Wipers & cowl need to be removed for this procedure.
I've no such noises anymore. Though I have no 1st hand reviews on the available M3 strutbars out there, but adding 1 has been known to reduce or silence torsional creaks.

Wonder what he chose.
A year in & still feels like day1 here. Seldom do cars like this come along.

Hatch vs sedan is the tougher fight!

Well, I'm not sure about population stats between both & whether the non-Sky Maxx is boon or bane for the sedan.
This shouldn't be polarizing. Happiness w/ one's choice is what ultimately matters.

The population is about 50 50 if you factor in the Speed which is in hatch form only according Mazda Ph's service dept. head when I asked him during the fb group's dinner with Top Gear Ph.

Performance wise, I guess hatch handles better than sedan because the center of gravity is closer to the center of mass (buttless) but sedan has a better drag coefficient. Utility wise - hatch. Looks wise - My name is Hot Hatch. =)

I think he means how to join the FB group when FB is blocked in China.

China....the land where everything is made. Mods aplenty, vinrem! What plans have you from.page 346?:D
I once inquired about a wing posted that they still had to do upon ordering....kinda shady to me, so I just numbed the itch.

Just a simple mods sir, been planning to change the rims to 18".

Last month I was so sure that I preferred the sedan more than the hatch. This time I'm leaning towards the hatch more. Toughest decision to be made in my entire life! Color should be white!

I got white ang ganda at added safety at night kasi konting light lang kitang kita na kasi pearl white siya ibang level yung kintab/kinang kahit walang wax. Nga pala sa Mazda no additional fee pag pearl white.

Di naman halatang I am biased. =) Let's blame Mazda for making equally ***y options. =)
