2014 Mazda 3

Well, di ka pa naman basted ng kotseng nililigawan mo. Sabi nga ni Lola Nidora, antayin ang tamang panahon~~~~

Gaya ng sabi mo, parang nanliligaw ka rin sa lagay mo ngayon. Kung mahaba pasensya mo, sasagutin ka ng nililigawan mo. Ganyan din sa kotse, konting tiis tiis lang, mapapasaiyo din yan. Hindi lang talaga ngayon ang tamang panahon, ika nga...

How badly mo ba kelangan ng sasakyan? Baka naman may iba kang alternative? Ako sasabihin ko talaga sa iyo na mahirap pag nagsisi ka sa bandang huli.

Another tip para matulungan ka, message Mazda Philippines sa facebook. Sasagot yan sila at malaki ang maitutulong nila sa pag-acquire nila ng sasakyan mo. Sabihin mo lang ang mga nangyari sa reservation mo at willing ka nilang tulungan.

Well said, testa brah. Key would be for all the helpful here to knock at every door persistently....I'm sure one of those will finally open & see you thru, Ollie sir.

A WARNING to those afflicted by TEINitis....Some dealerships have really good sense of humor.:D

"Dealer: Lowering your car broke your speaker"

Conversation shared by a real Mown3r, Mr. Clay:

"So I've had issues with my driver side door Bose speaker losing audio for long periods of time. I took it to the dealer and it was replaced under warranty, only to find it out again the next day after starting the car.

Dealer was wary and said they weren't likely to replace it again-- something else must be causing it. I said it was the amplifier.

Took it back yesterday to get addressed again, hopefully with a real solution. And I get a call today.

Dealer: "Uh did you lower your car?"
Clay: Yeah, why?
Dealer: " Well your lane departure warning is now off to the right."
Clay: Ok. It hasn't given me problems.
Dealer: "The lane departure uses the left speaker for alerts. There was a notice out from Mazda that lowered vehicles might cause problems with that."

Clay: Alarms start going off in my head... so what you're telling me is that me, lowering my car, somehow through a supplemental system, "might" have caused my speakers to fail.
Any bets that I will get a warranty cancellation because of this?
Might as well sell the car if that happens."

Hmmmm, either forfeit speaker claim or be cured of TEINitis? Wait...good thing we don't have Lane Departure Warning...or do we????Hahaha.:D

It'll be worth the wait. Patience wasn't a known possessed trait, but it surfaced & a year in, I've absolutely no regrets. I really hope you'll stretch that wait a lil, Ollie sir.

I agree with Sir Trav! Fortunately I only had to wait for 13 days for a unit but already sold my previous car a week prior so I've been carless for 20 days which I'm not used to. But after sitting on your actual unit and driving it off the showroom, that feeling of happiness and foolish grin won't leave your face for a long time.

Sir OliverS,

If the reason for not being able to wait a little longer is really that important, you can settle for another car. But if you do that, you might regret it for the years to come.

"Good things come to those who wait."

We are just looking out for you, Ollie sir. Cars aren't cheap to risk regrets. Ending up w/ the car you love will have profound benefits beyond anything monetary.

The M3:
-doesn't need growing on you
-will always earn that 2nd,3rd,4th glance as you walk away
- is the perfect traffic jam & long drive companion.
-will encourage you to take the looong way home.
-washes will be voluntary & stress relieving.
-errands will be longed & deliberate.
-modding will be orgasmic.👍
-brethren & family are a mixed bag of youthful energy & settled composure; wisdom & insanity; humor & sincerity....above all, here are passionate Mown3rs who truly look out for each other.

Not many cars can do that. Need I say more?
It'll take more than coincidence for cars & people like these to come around & gather respectively, Ollie sir. I've been around & they don't happen very often. Grab this chance by the throat & never let go.....Regrets haunt & torment....we don't wish you those, but pray for patience....The reward will be well worth it.😊

Guys,

I have confirmed my order of M3 and have started giving instructions to my agent like to not put holes on the plate holder (will get Santi's plate relocator) and my preference for the coding day. To my surprise, the agent told me that LTO doesnt allow selection of plate's ending number anymore. Is this true? We always got the coding day we wanted on our older cars. It would be useless to get a new one with the same coding day.

Exactly my sentiments sir :/ 2 of ours have ending 3. Then my cousin who just got 1 (which i can borrow anytime) also has 3 ending conduction. Mine is 4 (if m3 wasn't hard to get hands on I would choose another ending conduction) so we're all stuck during Tuesday's. Requested for ending 7 or 8 but as per MQA, all plates daw are selected at random na unlike before the other option is to pay 35k which I wouldn't even if I could (really couldn't [emoji39]) so I'm still hoping for a miracle of having a thur coding.

Pahirapan ngayon sa supply ng plates so dealers have to take what is available.

I know sir travs.. ughh I really want this badly. My SA said he will try his best to look a unit for me. Sabi ko kahit anong color or body na basta M3, hopefully car gods answer my prayers

Allow faith some room to operate, Ollie sir. You'll get your M3Sky....We're all rooting for you.

Haha, to be sure it'll be no Maxx, get the hatch, Ollie sir.:D

Here's what you can do...

Pwede mo i-request ang preferred conduction sticker ending number. Yun sa plate holder naman, usually naka-double sided tape lang yan. Sa harap, walang butas yan. Sa likod lang ang may butas.

Sa plates naman, pagdasal mo na yun gusto mong ending ang makuha mo. Sa akin kasi, sabi ko lang sa ahente ko na yun dalawang sasakyan namin ay 9 at 0 ang ending, so pareho ng coding day. At dahil random na nga yan, eh come what may nalang. Ayun, nung nakuha ko plates ko, 6 ang ending, which is my preferred coding day. Pero oofferan ka nila ng preferred ending number mo for a price, which is considered under the table. Kung ako sa iyo, better not. May nabasa ako dito na kung ayaw mo ng ganitong ending, say parehong Friday coding, pwede ka daw mag-request sa LTO mismo. Dala ka lang ng OR/CR ng isa mong sasakyan. Ewan ko lang kung pwede pa ba ang ganito ngayon.

I know sir travs.. ughh I really want this badly. My SA said he will try his best to look a unit for me. Sabi ko kahit anong color or body na basta M3, hopefully car gods answer my prayers

Gaya ng sabi ko sir, kung ano ang nasa puso mo, sundin mo. If white, then stick to white, para wala kang regrets sa huli. But then, Mz3 is Mz3, ***y in and out, in any color, in any form!

Finally got my M3 earlier! So happy! I named him Treize (from Gundam Wing) pero boo ang pangit ng horn. Mavovoid ba warranty if I change the horn? Parang isesecond on the list ko ito sa modifications

1.) Sharks Fin Antenna -> Does anyone know where can I buy a good one close to pearl white?
2.) Horn
3.) Relocator Kit
4.) Rims
5.) Dechrome the chrome grille
6.) Speed-like body kit

Finally...Grats rei_lied sir.
1.) Shark Fin - Check Dealership
2.) Horn- Dealership if you want no warranty issues...or DIY or any adept shop.
3.) Relocator Kit-
satravajante*gmail.con
4.) Rims- consult the wheel gurus:
Geo S/Hot Hatch/MarcYaptinchay...their tastes are failsafe.
5.) Dechrome the chrome grille:
DIY wrap w/ vinyl
6.) Speed-like body kit: Clifford's

What's #7 up on that list?

Congrats! After getting the Mz3, join us sa facebook ah, search Mazda 3 Skyactiv Club PH. Nandun din naman yun ibang nandito hahaha! Also, para makilala mo rin ang iba pang members. Now for your concerns...

Inquire ka sa casa para sure ka sa antena.

Di naman mavovoid ang warranty mo pag nagpalit ka ng busina dahil reversible naman ito, meaning pwede mo ibalik yun luma. Ano magandang busina, Europa!!!
