2014 Mazda 3

[JohnM]

Is it ok to drive when the blue engine coolant light indicator (low temperature) is on? I notice that it takes a minute or two after startup before the indicator disappears. Should we wait for it to disappear before driving?

Drive gently until it disappears. It heats up faster when moving compared to idling.

Anyone saw the limited edition mazda3? Is it better looking with the skirts and black rims? 1.298m is a bit pricey but with the added accessories, is it worth it? That's like additional 100k but having bose speakers sounds really interesting! Thoughts?

Saw it lang sa post ng Mazda PH. Ganda ng white with black accent. Ano brand ng rims niya?

That's what I actually do. Just wondering why the need for a Low Engine Coolant Temperature warning light, unless if its intended to warn us not to drive while warning light is on. Not sure if other cars have that kind of warning light as I don't see it in my other car.

Not sure of the rim brand. According to my friend they only have the soul mazda 3 limited edition, not the white one displayed in their website. And just few units will be sold this year: skirts, bose spkers, white leather seats, black side mirror, power seats. Is the price just right?

Does your other car have a temp gauge? Most new cars don't. All they get is that idiot light.

Blue (or green) is a sign that your oil might not be fully circulated yet so you have to take it easy until it reaches a pre-set temp.

Blinking red means your engine is overheating.

Steady red means goodbye engine and transmission

Mazda3 Speed. Wutchathink?

Very sporty! I like the skirts but I'm not sure about the stickers... the regular 2.0 hatch seems more flexible, sporty/classy. This one I'm not sure. But very interesting...

*marsha - how did you feel when you look at it in personal? Is it really good?

The purpose if for the driver to know that the engine has not yet reached optimal temperature so driver won't drive aggressively.

Ganda mga nung white na mazda3 speed. Pero sana may sedan version.

[mang_pogs]

My friend told me this is not the mazda3 speed (the red one in the picture). It was modified for PIMS. The one they will sell doesn't have the stickers. Plain soul red with black side mirrors and black skirts.

[marsha07]

^Thats the mazda3speed na nilagyan lang ng stickers for Pims.

Add ons inside: off white leather seats, Dvd player, 9 way power seats, latest Bose sound system w/ 9 speakers.

2 colors lang daw: soul red, snowflake white

Is 100k price difference just right for the upgrades mentioned? What are ur thoughts?

[LeoMarley]

Since it's Bose then it is overpriced which fits the bill.

Wala ako idea magkano ang Bose 😯

Driven the mazda 3 1.5 and 2.0 a while ago in pims. Di naman underpowered ang 1.5 ok na ok naman sya. Lalo na pag paddle shifter gamit. Actually same lang sila para sakin. Lamang lang si 2.0 pag sudden floor ng pedal

Drove the 2.0 a while go at campi, deym I have no words for this car but exhilarating! On manual mode, I just floored the hell out of the throttle on a long stretch sa likod ng seaside macapagal. It complied without hesitations. The paddle shifters are amazing because you'll know that the ECU does not meddle with the driver when doing upshifts and downshifts. Shift shocks are zero to none. Plus the responsive steering gives you the confidence that you're in control of the car. Addicting to drive indeed and for me worthy of the almost 1.2M price tag.

One of the saddest moment in my life is when I have to leave the driver seat and hand it over to the next person to test drive the m3. But yeah, it took a while bago mawala yung big smile sa face ko.

I wouldn't dwell on the car price but the red color is an additional 15K bugs me. What's in the color that it has to be an added cost?
Wait ka lang ng December for x'mas promos.

Actually this car pulled me off my retro mind set between mini & beetle.
