I don't think underpowered yung 1.5l sky/1.6l mzr na mazda 3, iba lang siguro talaga setup ng transmission nya.
mababa torque nya at low rpm kaya nagmumukha syang underpowered
sa experience ko, ramdam mo talaga hatak nya from 3k to 5k rpm. at these rpms, very responsive pa rin yung engine nya. unlike yung nada-drive ko na avanza and city, lakas ng hatak from stop pero after 3k-3.5k rpm, parang wala na akong mapiga kahit I-floor ko pa yung pedal
note na from stop lang sya parang hirap, kasi from 0 rpm, when shifting to the next gear di mo na ramdam yun kasi nasa around 2k rpm ka na agad
wala pa akong 3rd gen sir pero I do have a 2nd gen 1.6l. based sa feedbacks na nababasa ko and test drive, mejo same sila ng behavior ng 1.5l na skyactiv
correct ko lang yung post ko above. not from 0 rpm but from idle rpm of 600 to 700note na from stop lang sya parang hirap, kasi from 0 rpm, when shifting to the next gear di mo na ramdam yun kasi nasa around 2k rpm ka na agad
meron post few pages back na he is getting 7.5 km/l on pure city driving
7.5 km/L was worst case scenario (i.e bumper to bumper) traffic.
It's foolish to dismiss the Mz3 1.5 as a gas-guzzler because of one user's feedback.

I hardly see any 2014 mazda3 on the road. For those who were able to get their units na, how many days po inabot ang delivery?

After a week of mixed driving (1 day to tagaytay, about 9-10 days urban) total around 300++kms in odometer. We are getting an avg of 10km/L(based on the cars own monitor). We are still yet to gas up for the full thank method of checking.
Overall average trip from Pasig-tagyatay-QC: distance around 160km. 14 Km/L
don't want to conclude anything pero i was pondering on Mr_Fixit's post above (2 or 3 pages back)
key details:
300++kms in odometer (1 day to tagaytay, about 9-10 days urban) - assume na nating 350km odo reading
trip to tagaytay - 160km
average consumption - 10 km/l
tagaytay trip consumption - 14 km/l
from the assumed total odo, we have 160km tagaytay trip and assumed 190km city drive
trip to tagaytay consumed 11.43L of gas - 160km/(14km/l)
assumed total consumed gas is 35L - 350km/(10km/l)
computed gas consumption for city drive is 23.57L - 35L minus 11.43L
190km city drive distance consumed 23.57L of gas = 8.06km/l city driving FC
owner 1 - 7.5km/l (actual - trip computer)
owner 2 - 8.06km/l (assumed/computed - trip computer) +/-0.3km/l (depende sa actual odo reading)
based on the 2 samples above, are these good numbers?
imho, for a new engine/ transmission technology, NO - the worst i got with my mzr is 8.1km/l
pasensya na.. wala lang magawa sa office.. hehe![]()
Update 2 weeks driving: 344km for trip A. avg consumption: 9.43km/l ( 1 day tagaytay, 13-14 days urban)
Mazda Greenhills ang alam kong relatively mababa magbigay, before lumabas yung bagong 3
Pero try mo yung agent ni sir Spencersy, na-free ata nya yung DI if im not mistaken. Tarlac yun pero nagde-deliver naman daw sa Manila
If bandang Metro south area ka, i can refer my agent sa Alabang
Best if you can get quotation from atleast 3 dealerships.. magco-compete and magpapaba-baan yan ng presyo, basta makita lang nila na serious ka sa pagbili
2014 Mazda 3 1.5 faster than 2014 Honda Civic 1.8? (0 - 60 MPH)
