2014 Mazda 3

[go-to-guy]

Grats!!! Why rest Sugar? Gotta exploit yojin, chiezee brah.

I'm guilty of this. My MZ3 is 1 year old with only 2k on the odo. Sobra akong ingat (kahit na di siya luxury car lol) I dont drive it to places na mahirap ang parking or yung mga tight spaces, ghetto area etc lol. I have a 15-yr old "battle car" for those places:p

[chiezee]

Is this something i need to be worried of? Nakita ko lang sa ilalim kanina

Nope, nothing to worry about there...

Hehe, I understand & respect that approach to Mown3rship....

Lemme share you Min3....
My search criteria for the intended daily were:
-Nippon geishas....
No Euro divas... too high maintenance.

-Compact or sub under 1M.
2 reasons: limited budget & to limit 'battlefield' worries.

-Non CVT auto. Stick & traffic just ain't fun anymore.

What I got? Way more than I ever wished...
-Bavarian sophistication, Japanese simplicity

-Yojin 3....Worry-free

-Premium yet understated(read: not flashy). Kodo but hobo.

-Above all....Love.

It has made daily traffic so much bearable. A joy even. I'm uneasy w/ stares, dropped jaws & drooling...but I remind myself... it's the car, not me. Haha
Seldom do we not relate pleasure w/ guilt. This 1 should be among those....It's rather sinful to deprive the M of its natural habitat...the wild open & the twisties....The garage isn't its home. Remember, depreciation doesn't respect mileage nor condition even on yet-to-be classics...sad truth.
And lastly...I acquire stuff for their purpose....really use them & care for them. but this...I refuse to be its slave steward for the next owner to enjoy....
That guy can have yours. Haha

Happy Mown3rship, guys.

Resistance is futile. Haha:D
Don't ever use not using the M as some form of penitence....Forget forgiveness.:D

Sorry if I am posting an off-topic question pero baka sakali may makatulong sakin. Desperate moves na.

May alam ba kayo na parking space na pwede i-rent monthly sa Mandaluyong? I live nearby California Garden Square sa Mandaluyong malapit sa Shaw Blvd. Budget is 2k-3k sana. Yung malapit lang sana sa area na yun sa crossing or kahit sa may Pioneer. I just bought my Mazda 3 last month not knowing na puno na pala yung parking space namin sa nirerentahan ko na apartment. I had no other choice but to rent a parking space din.

Yung iba sa amin nagpapark sa side ng street pero medyo naalangan ako since madaming tricycle na dumadaan dun. Baka magasgas or worse mapagtripan at manakawan ako ng side mirror or basagin yung bintana ko. Better safe than sorry. Hehe.

Naka-tengga lang tuloy ngayon sa probinsya yung M3 ko dahil dun. Di ko siya maluwas dahil wala akong mapaglalagyan.

Hope someone can help me with this. Thanks!

Wish I could be of help, suketchi sir...Lemme at least bump this for you. I'm sure someone here can.

You can try Reyes gym which is near CGS. They have a gym where you can work out and a bball court where you can play. Maybe if you become a regular they'll allow you to park inside. Talk to the caretakers and get chummy with them, try to develop good rapport. You may be able to convince them to let you park there. Worth a shot, I think. HTH.

I'll be forced to work out now, and good thing I think I might need it, too. Hahaha. I will consider this one sir. Thanks.

I tried asking brokers from some condo buildings in the area, but the problem is you need to be a unit owner or a tenant at least to avail of their monthly parking, and it's quite expensive as well.

Thanks sir Travs.



BTW, noob question. Would there be an impact in Yojin 3 if I installed chrome body parts (door handles, side mirrors, etc.)? Just curious though.

You can always rely on this site & thread for outstretched hands. Thanks to the good doctor.

On chrome & yojin, technically, no impact.....BUT....remember, SkyActiv's all about shaving unnecessary weight. Hehe😉

[chiezee]

Wag kana mag chrome sir. Di ka magsisisi promise 😊

[Yatta]

Chrome is so... 90s.

[travajante]

I was thinking way farther back... like the 50s? kidding...
Let's all respect personal preferences here.
The joy of Mown3rship isn't about impressing others anyway.

Thanks sir Trav. The reason why I'm asking is because I had a scratch sa may side mirror ko due to a motorcycle accident during one of my road trips nung holidays.

A motorcycle suddenly appeared sa right side ko nung traffic. He squeezed between me and the other vehicle sa right at tumama siya sa side mirror. It had a very small scratch (smaller than a centavo coin though) but natanggal na yung paint. Rubbing compound didn't help.

Di ko na siya nahabol after the incident as we were stuck in traffic at dere derecho lang siyang umalis since nakakasingit siya in between cars.

I have been told na kailangan irepaint yung side mirror para maayos, pero I am thinking of other options sana, thus the chrome. But since tingin nga ng iba na di maganda, baka di ko na din ituloy. Hehehe

Pwede mo siguro yan sir parepaint sa casa or bili ka nalang ng touch up paint. Kaso kasi ang touch up paint, di halos kuha ang original paint, lalo sa soul red.

Mine's white though so it might be okay, but I'm not very much familiar with touch up paint. Check ko to sir. Thanks sa suggestion.

Estimate sakin ng casa is 600 at kailangan ko daw iwan yung sasakyan kasi dadalhin pa daw nila sa Cavite (hindi covered ng insurance dahil below minimum daw). Iniisip ko ipagawa ko nalang sa labas in case. Wala pa nga lang akong alam na reputable shop na malapit sakin (Mandaluyong) na maganda gumawa ng paint job.
