2014 Mazda 3

[RedlineJunkie]

Just got home from Mazda's thanksgiving party at Whitespace.

They also showcased their new models - Cx3, Mazda 2 & Mazda 3.

Here are some pics of the newfacelifted Mazda 3. (Pics not mine, but courtesy of a fb member).






The calipers are also painted red (sorry don't have pic of it), but not sure if it's just for the speed variant.

Hi! Been a lurker here for quite some time now. The CX3 is another stunner from Mazda!
There's a rumor that the Mazda 3 1.5V will not be offered anymore. Instead, Mazda will push for the
sale of Mazda 2 Premium Edition. The only variants for Mazda 3 are the 2.5 and the 2.0 which will be priced at
1.4M and 1.3M respectively.

Good day!

WelcoM3, sir! Much more fun out than lurking!!!
Where did you hear of such?
Fortunately or not, there is no truth to that rumor. The Facelift will still be available in 1.5 & 2.0 variants. Still no 2.5s to land here. On pricing, let's await official word soon.

Hello,

Thanks for all the replies. Will do. The thing is, kakatapos lang ng first PMS namin, sa January pa ulit. Pwede kaya ako bumalik ulit for this? Sabi naman nung parang manager ng service advisers eh normal lang daw yun. Even yung mga Porche, BMW, etc. daw eh may ganun din na tunog. Ano ba talaga? Para kasing lumang kotse yung dating nya eh kabago-bago lang. By the way, I'm really loving this car. Aside from that creaking noise. Zoom zoom indeed.

P.S.
Sorry I just remembered, the manager as well as the SA even explained to me about the noise. It's something about the friction between the clamp ata yun and yung break (metal to metal). I'm not sure kung totoo ba yun or what.

You may raise your concerns to your dealership anytime, even if you've just had your PMS.
Post yojin, you may opt for aftermarket performance pads that are of less noise/dust & with better bite....not saying the stock ones aren't good, as they really are.

I got my unit just last July, & it still didn't come with a free sd navi card. I still had to pay P3k if I wanted it. My SA was honest & said it wasn't worth getting it, waze was way better daw.

The free hacks are said to be working very well. Our Mown3r brothah, Testament11 on here, has been helping many out. Let's await him & those who've successfully installed to chime in. After all, ain't the best things in life free?

I'm assuming you mean 19s, chiezee brah? If so, the outer diameter will be 20mm greater than stock 215/45/18s. Car will be 10mm taller & fender clearance will be 10mm closer. When you're speedo reads 100kph, you're actually going 103.1kph. 235/40/19s are theoretically oversized, but could be squeezed depending on wheel offset & width.

Oh, sorry.
It's about 3mm smaller in outer diameter than stock 18s....The thing w/ stance, every mm seems to be magnified. Thanks to the HTechs, they will still look better than stock.

Do you happen to have a picture with this set up?

Went to Tanay for the first time to break in the 3Rd tune , quite the experience . Nice bends , nice scenery , Overall a good experience . Had to re acquaint myself with the car again but all was good . Engine was smoother , felt more civil, though I miss the violence I'll wait till the tune is complete . So far one satisfied customer

8hrs straight drive from cam norte to manila. Matipid na ba to mga sir or need pa ng more improvements para sa fuel efficiency.

W/ M3s, fatigue, pain & pleasure can all happen together....No surprise there, sir....That FC just adds to the grin & this feeling....

Tipid, well pwede na. Subjective ang matipid for me. Depends sa apak mo rin sa sa roads na dinaanan mo.

Here's mine, from Bataan to Shell Sta. Rita Bulacan on a 2.0L Mazda 3 speed.
