2014 Mazda 3

[balongbalong]

Well most Euro brands are practically bespoke so orders are more of a rule rather than an exception. Kaya nga if you look at the price guides of local car magazines, when you get to the Euro sections, they're all TBA/Call for pricing. Pero mukhang malabo rin na magpasok ng Speed versions. Yung regular versions nga hirap sila mapunan ang mga orders.

No idea why they do not publish in magazines, maybe simply bec price is exorbitant, they don't want too much heat for tax purposes haha and malaki rin yun tawaran na nangyayari (ferraris, porches, lambos, etc), think totl mazda 3 or more haha, also normally they sell units as landed na, hirap din umorder, take it or leave it din.

Actually, entry to higher level models from bmw and benz (ph's top euro brands), and the rest of euro brands (vw, volvo, etc) aren't bespoke at all, they're pretty much like how imported jap cars are brought in here, they spec it to what they think people in the ph will like and order as is, kaya minamahalan at tinatagalan nila din yun special indent order program, they rather you get the units here already to move their sleeping inventory.

Speaking of facelift, the Thais are always the more impatient. They concocted their own OA versions...here are soM3.



Your thoughts?

Sedan kit better than the hatch, but not sold still, quad exhaust for a 1.5 or 2 litre engined mazda 3 is just too pretentious

expect the facelift of our 3 sometime in 2017, and changes limited to a few cosmetic changes and some upgraded features.

a good basis is the facelifted cx5, they didn't change much in its mid cycle refresh/facelift.

i bet the manual handbrake would be replaced by an electronic one and they'll put the Sports switch with the extra space. These are 2 things that are in the M2 that I wish were also in the M3.

My Facelift wishes are simple....
For the 2.0:
iStop/eLoop removal....
It'll drop production/maintenance/batt costs & weight....
plus... gives Mown3rs fewer things to worry about!
In place the removed for the same sticker price????
Exposed twin tips for 2.0 sedans....
A better infotee w/ integrated nav....
Lightweight OE 19s
Mild drop & BBK for M3speeds
All the above would really elevate their appeal...
& drop the white leather option.

For 1.5s:
Black Leather option, same infotee upgrade as 2.0s & OE 18s...lighter 1s, pleeez

For both engine variants:
Stick tranny
OE bodykits
And lastly....RELOCATED PLATE!
I won't mind stopping production on those, really.
Anyone agree?
And talking relocators....those in need of M2 & M3 no-drill kits now, just please email
satravajante*gmail.com
...while still available.

Thanks

Nice. A roomier CX3? I guess they're giving an option to those who find the CX3 very nice but find its interior too small. They should also come out with a new van like the Mazda 5.

The CX3 is based on 2architecture. This 1 can take a 2.0 or a 2.5. A CX5 twin on 3architecture, likely.

Yup. I noticed the aircon vents are like the Mz3 while the CX-3 is similar to the Mz2. Maybe the CX-4 will have the center console and rear center armrest/cupholders like the 3.

For 2016, they may finally stop the Maxx and instead put a manual 1.5L. They did release a bare-bones Mz2 manual in the last quarter of 2015.

Back up cam for all variants? Nice

Maxx will eventually see its end. Putting out the 1.5Sky stick 3 * Maxx pricepoint would make great sense to us, but unlikely for Mazda, sadly. With Japan production choked, the Thai MZR-powered Maxx serves as good temporary filler to the PH void.
