i'm wondering if the 1.5 variant also comes with a driver armrest similar to the 2.0. still deciding whether to get this or the honda jazz.

For me enough na yung center console as armrest sa 1.5

Test drive both vehicles para may comparison ka.

Tinest drive ko rin jazz bago ko bilhin mz3 ko, malayo difference.. iba talaga driving dynamics ng mz3.

thanks sa feedback. in terms of acceleration, which is better between the two? given the weight difference i'm thinking mas hirap si m3 1.5. i'm planning to test drive both by the end of the month, medyo busy lang sa trabaho heheh.

Test both, sir. Been on the same road. The M just felt right. Skyactiv engine, tranny & body drove like they belong. Remember, the Jazz has the lower cost rubber band CVT tranny to get em their FC numbers. These may be better iterations than earlier versions, but they can't come near Sky.
Into my 3rd year of Mown3rship, the drive, the thrill, the grin still feel like day1....

Let's talk wheels, tires, vibrations, match mounting & balancing....

I've recently just found time to swap on new tires on my hobo, rotated those on my ex-daily & had em balanced on my fave balancing equipment...the Hunter GSP9700 Road Force Balancer.

Why? Not only is it fast & precise, It has:
-eCal™ Auto-Calibration.
True "self-calibration" & No operator input required
-Diagnostic Load Roller.
Solves vibration problems, Identifies vehicle pulls & Provides "new car ride"
-SmartWeight® Balancing Technology.
Improves balance, Minimizes weight usage.

This equipment will direct match mounting & even refuse a wheel/tire combo that can't be balanced anymore.
Balanced wheels that still give vibrations are almost always corrected by the Road Force Balancer & it usually does w/ very lil of those unsightly weights. In simpler terms, this is the ultimate. Find 1 local to you.

On tire mounting, I also learnt that proper orientation(match mounting) of a new tire relative to the valve stem isn't common knowledge even to local tire techs.
The Proper Way....
If you find temporary yellow & red dots on your new tire, align the RED to your valve stem like the pic below. If only yellow, then align that to the stem.

Read more on dots & match mounting here.
Bridgestone Commercial Truck Tires

As tires wear, it's recommended that balancing be performed everytime you rotate tires.
And if you have to dismount to patch punctures properly from the inside, always mark on tire the valve stem point to avoid shifting balance. Many now prefer the quick puncture fix tho...the tire plug. I've noticed that some of these plugs eventually leak again. This from 1st hand experience.....but it's really a timesaver.

Hope this helps as I know many have plans of swapping rims & tires.

Mga master, ask ko lang po sana kung may alam kayo shop na ganto po ang gamit within metro manila or cavite area. twice napo kasi ako nag wheel balance. nung una around 80kph nagvibrate na, yung 2nd nabawasan pero ramdam ko pa din 100kph pataas vibration. Thanks po.

btw, here's my M3 po. =)

Buddies there have been searching to no avail. There should be RoadForce Balancing there sonewhere.

More pics, please. Nice car!!!! And what plans have you?

Hello guys!

Anybody here can shed some light on Mazda dealerships around Metro Manila? Who's the best, the worst? Can you recommend an "awesome" SA. Someone who gives a ton of freebies. Should I buy a 2017 Mazda 3 1.5V HB or a 2017 Mazda 2 1.5 V+ sedan? I would like to hear your thoughts. Thanks alot guys!

Can't give feedback on MM dealerships, but having both the 3 & the 2, I'd point you to the 3.

Bili ka na lang ng bulb sa auto supply, mura lang yan.. di aabot ng 50 pesos. Compute mo rin yung gas and waiting time mo going to casa.

Thanks sir sparcom. Madali lang ba buksan yun?

Hi. I'm now selling my 2016 Mazda 3. Got it end of last year. Sedan, Aluminum Metallic, Maxx Variant (1.6AT). I already upgraded the tires sometime this year and got the Plate Relocator courtesy of Sir Travajante. RFS - Need a smaller car to park beside my 2016 Innova. PM me if interested. It's barely used, pang coding lang. 20K mileage.
