2014 Mazda 3

[travajante]

I have found new ways to describe the Mz3 after my 3 day journey to the Ilocos region.

Superb handling
Powerful
Comfortable
Master of twisted roads

Yep, cornering abilities of this car is very, very, very awesome!!!

Now, is there a way on how can we modify the paddle shifters? I think longer paddle shifters are needed especially when cornering

Here you go, testa brah...

almost 2 months and I'm still in line for a 1.5 HB Aluminum Metallic. I got a call from my dealer who's offering me an available unit that's blue. I said I'll wait but happy to the person who'll say yes and get his M3 soon!

M3s in any color look equally good....
You must be like our brothah Geo....silver, his fave.

I had similar experience.. I was 1st inline for a 1.5 white sedan, then offered a 1.5 blue hb... I accepted it since I really need a car back then for my wedding. at first I have doubts on the color. But once I drove the car may it be a hatchback and color blue, there were no regrets.
good thing you had the luxury of time to wait for your preferred color

Patience has never been my strength. Though I ended with what I really wanted, I attempted to ask midstream the wait for whatever could be had. Haha....Good thing the dealership was empty, had nothing...nada...zilch...zero...to give...Whew!!! Am I glad there was divine intervention. Haha.
Grats, Oliver sir...we wuda been on the same boat.
elodeon sir, while that wait w/ mod planning & shopping. That therapy has proven to have kept the sanity of many.

It's a good problem to have. Iba nga diyan wish na wish they can have a car di ba? Atleast problem mo nalang is waiting for the color:D i remember when I was going to pay for the reservation, biglang last minute napatawag ako sa relatives and friends whether to get a sedan or HB and what color lol. I still ended up with my 1st choice which was 1.5V aluminum metallic hehe. Don't get me wrong i also wanted the 2.0R soul red but it was over my budget and thought with that price, I might as well add a little and get the CX-5. As travajante said "No rAgrets" lol.

Haha!!! Aluminum metallic is making a rally here. Perhaps only made popular by Geo. It's just so me...safe, boring, conservative & reserved.

Just how long does it takes before the FB group accepts your request? I have send them a photo of me with Treize as a profile pic. Gusto ko na palitan ang photo ko (ayaw ko kasi magyabang sa FB dito na lang). Hahaha.

Had reverse cam installed also last weekend. Ang galing! Ang bilis lang ng installation. Thanks Sir Louie! May freebies pa (xmas lights at sun shield)

Next on the list horns! Then plate relocator

Here is my so stock Treize

Much like getting the 3, it takes a while to get in FB. The group is growing & Pres. Ritz is a busy guy. Perhaps our brothahs, testa, John, Hot Hatch & the others, could help push you in. While the wait w/ tricklings of moddin', sir.
Yes, Louie Anson Ng, being a Mown3r himself, has been doing great service to the community. Salute.
Grats on your fine looking stock...we all know it won't stay that way for long.
Keep sharing your updates!!!!👍👍👍

My dad already had a silver metallic CX5 and my other car is also silver so we only had two choices then for the 1.5: black and white. I don't like the high maintenance black and IMHO it hides the curves of the 3. No ragrets

Wise choice. White, I presume, should be the most popular.
Btw, John brah, perhaps you could help push rei into FB? Ritz must know there's a long line outside his door.

Ok, here's an update for those who want to join the FB group...

They have decided to filter the group page. Those who have paid the membership fee (1,000 petot which includes a sticker and polo shirt of your preferred size), are still on the group page. Those who haven't paid were removed from the group but can return there once the membership fee has been paid.

For those who want to join the group, you have to pay 1,000 petot membership fee. Please take note that this is not compulsory. If you cannot join the group, its ok. We still have our home here in tsikot where everyone is free.

i thought they stopped bringing in the deep crystal blue since no one was buying it, or is this another kind of blue? yun mas lighter shade

offtopic, hassle yun video add na pop up bawat page ngayon dito sa tsikot hehehe

Hi! I'm a newbie here in tsikot forums and "soon-to-be" (hopefully) Mown3r. I've been following this thread for a while and would like to grab your thoughts on something.

Nag-inquire ako sa Mazda showroom last weekend and tinanong ko kung mavovoid ba yung Yojin 3 if I opt to have a back-up camera installed sa unit. Sabi nung SA, hindi naman daw as long as dun sa kanila gagawin ang pag-install para macheck nila kung walang tatamaan. Ganun din ba sa inyo? If in case, ano kayang magandang back-up camera na bilhin? Inadvise din ako na since may Parking sensors naman na daw yung car, di ko na daw kailangan nung back-up camera. Pero as much as possible sana gusto ko yung camera kasi newbie driver lang din ako at yung pinagpapraktisan ko na kotse ng tito ko ay may back-up camera kaya dun ako nasanay.

Also, having said na newbie driver pa lang ako, do you think na sulit yung choice ko sa Mazda 3? Love at first sight lang talaga ako dun kaya ko siya napili, especially yung Hatch and considering yung mga nababasa ko dito sa thread, wala naman akong nakikitang bad comments. Although ang available unit lang sa ngayon sa dealer ay Pearl White, gusto ko sana yung Jet Black. Pero okay lang din naman.

Thanks sa input.

Possible na blue reflex yung tinutukoy nya. I got mine last month 1.5 HB blue reflex

onga hassle yung pop up na video. kada load ng page merong ganun

[JohnM]

Most of us had cameras installed by Lamson. They fit into the stock trunk mounts and use the stock monitor for output. Wala pa namang reklamo ang casa even after 3 PMS.
