2014 Mazda 3

Mas pronounced yung road noise sa highway.

The Christmas traffic is killing my FC. Dati 6.6 L/100km, ngayon 7.4 na lang

You could replace the stock tires with quieter ones.

Interesting - di ko alam na may quieter tires pala. To those with the 2.0 (different tires from the 1.5), is the cabin noise on the high side? Gusto ko lang malaman kung malaking factor nga ito.

Toyo low resistance something ang naka-install sa 1.5. Doesn't bother me at all. It's quieter than my gen 2 Vios. It's a lot quieter than a Mirage. Pareho kami ng style ni Anson. At 25 up na volume di mo na maririnig

Installed Bridgestone Turanza GR80s (phased out na ata) on my old Lancer before. Night and day diff sa previous NCT3.

I was stuck in a heavy traffic last night and as I monitor the fuel consumption (Fuel Economy monitor) of the current drive, I registered almost 67L/100KM. The distance traveled was only 3KM for 1.5 hours (2kph ave), is 1.49KPL acceptable for the 2.0 in this scenario? I've engaged the i-stop for about 8-10 times throughout, lasting only ~30 seconds each time.

You were basically idling with the AC on for 1.5 hours so I think it makes sense.

Thanks JohnM. I was just wondering if my experience last night still belongs to the heavy/intense traffic as most would report an FC of anything below 4kpl very poor.

About the aircon, I usually set it in the middle (25 deg). If the general temperature is cold and I set it above 25 deg (i.e. within the red bars), would it engage the heater of the aircon already instead of the cooler?

[NewbDriver]

Tuwing kailan malakas ang road noise? Pag highway lang ba?

Kapag matulin na takbo mo. I think 80+kph medyo noticeable na IIRC.

[EQAddict]

I wouldn't worry about one trip's FC calculation. Do the calculation over a couple of thousand kilometers. That's your real FC.

Looks like its happening with mine.

Dont use high pressure stream water on the door sealing.

Yep Armor All user ako for the longest time. Picked it up from my dad. Then I tried Sun Shield and I liked its matte finish better. Ngayon Armor All ko ginagamit ko na lang panlinis ng wiper blades.

Turtle wax user din ako before nahawa din kay erpat. Then I read the Tamang OC Lang thread dito sa forums and found na there are better alternatives out there.

[go-to-guy]

thanks for the replies.

*JohnM: san available ang mga yan that you posted. Meron ba sa mga Ace, Concorde etc? And are they priced cheaper than the leading brands?

[JohnM]

Microtex products are widely available. Meron sa Ace, Handyman, True Value and Blade. Price is just right: not too expensive or too cheap. They have sachets and small bottles din if you just want to try them out. Medyo mahal lang microfiber nila so I use the big bag of 24 pcs from S&R.

Sonax BSD I got from Roadstar. Optimum and Collinite are available on OLX.
