2014 Mazda 3

[Yatta]

i've read before that the lack of sound proofing on 3 was intentional as it gives a 'better connected to the road' feel for the driver
try ko hanapin yung source but that was almost 3 years ago, when i was reading reviews and was looking to buy my first Mazda 3

Palusot at "praise release " lang yan ng Mazda. "Better connected sa road" eh ginawa nga nilang electric steering? Now it feels like playing a videogame.

the article i've read was actually a review of 2nd gen, which was still using electro hydraulic
i think to some extent, there's some truth to it, although may halo na nga rin sigurong cost cutting na palusot

Well, among those w/ electric power steering tried, ours are more athletic & precise. Very weighted but could use some more feedback.....
At least we've 1 aging symptom less to worry about.... leaky power assist.

No oil change for 1st PMS. Just basic stuff. Fluid level checks, inspection & tightening.
Follow Yojin requirement strictly as it's free for 3yrs of Mown3rship.

Hehe. Yes bro. Kailangan na ng new home ng M6 19 rims. 😊

Electric power steering systems, esp the earlier 1s, have been observed to give less feedback. To use that as generalization would be like saying the iPhone 6s is practically the same as the old Motorola ultraclassics. Many of you are too young to relate.
On the M3 is by far among the best out there, brah. It's probably the most connected & weighted amongst the budget compacts around. They resorted to electric for more direct speed sensitivity.
Gen2 & 3 MINIs have fully electric PS...the current 1, BMW really went back to the drawing board to create an electric that mimics the most connected of them...the 02-06 R50/53s w/ the very troublesome ZF electro-hydro steering that's currently on recall in the US. No1 can ever accuse those gokarts to lack feedback...on electric.
You & I know how well & connected the M3 handles the twisties & hairpins.....guess, that's what should matter most.
A blessed weekend, all!!!

These were my 1st choice for 19s but couldn't find any then. Had I the funds, these won't even see posting....
Those looking for rims, these are among the best options out there. Aesthetically proven...a bit weighty but tuff & durable. You'll be surprised how much these would cost ordered from Mazda.....no hobo.
Grab & take care of these, somebody please....

Haha. You're pitchin' M6 19 to potential Mown3r, eh? Thanks brothah! know I've said this time and again that i really wanted to keep the rims but might need the funds soon.

Honestly, brah? I want you to keep em. How many M6s do you see on the road?
Their subtlety makes em classy.
The OEM+ look never fails.
Their rarity will appreciate their value even more.
Originals at the price of reps. Can't get any hobo'r without looking hobo.

If these should go, I hope it's going to a good hoM3.

You're making me think twice James bro. Ok.. here's the deal. If no takers til end of November, will take the post off and keep 'em instead. Will probably post it again should i need the funds. Ive got a lot of explaining to wife. Hahaha!

Just tell the CFO that even very interested buyers are urging you to keep em. That's says a lot about the brotherhood of Mown3rs!
A beautiful weekend, all!!!

Nope its really simple fuel efficiency. Less parasitic power losses compared to hydraulics. Nothing dramatic here.

[travajante]

That's just among them....the cost/weight shaving, the ease of tweaking everything electronic. Not to mention the man-hours shaved on diagnostics & replacements..... Connectedness, weight reduction & fuel efficiency are best achieved thru gearing w/o power assist, but we're all spoilt by comfort & effortless driving.
I miss the days when a simple set of good wrenches was all we needed to hunt down, take apart & put back a car.
Cars today are intentionally designed to be more & more dealership dependent....drama is all over if you really look...
Some of those conspiracy theories are a glaring truth

Parang palusot ng Mazda ang dating hehehe. I admit the noise bothered me the 1st couple of months but then I don't even notice it anymore. The fun in riding this car totally makes up for it. I agree with earlier posts here that driving this MZ3 makes traffic less stressful.:thumbup::cool:

Same here, Mas tahimik pa Nga yung naka mud tires kung sasakyan... No exaggeration here ha... Or maganda Lang ang sound deadeners ng ford...

[grover2014]

Sir Travs, one man's loss is another man's gain. Could go for those rims except that my wife will have my hide!

Hides grow back..these rims are as rare as comets...some come back, some don't.

A buddy once shared his trick to getting the wife's nod....he allows her to shop 1st before he does. Works all the time....Now all his cars have everything, yes everything, aftermarket out there....Even chrome.

I always thought true love was unconditional???? Never heard reciprocity was a requirement til he shared his foolproof wisdom. Hahaha.

Try it, grover sir! Better than yojin.
