    Hello mga sir! I'm interested in buying someone's 2007 Mazda 3.

    Details are 44+km mileage, 1.6l engine.

    Good price IMO, 365k. not flooded.

    Can you give me any advice as to whether this is a good deal? What should I look out for when I inspect the unit?

    thanks tsikot peeps!

    You do know that the ride quality of the Mazda3 is on the firm side and the fuel consumption is kinda on the heavy side.

    Oo naman. Mababa kasi ang power ng 1.6L Mazda3 tapos mabigat pa siya.

    Pero talagang solid iyang 3.

    thanks for the advice... hopefully the low price offsets gastos para sa gas.

    any other advice is welcome

    Kung di ka naman speed freak, ok iyang Mazda 3 1.6L

    Kung gusto mo naman ng speed talaga, Mazda 3 2.0R is my bet. Actually, this is the only variant I like sa lineup ng 3. :thumbup:

    Kung more pa talaga Mazda 6 2.5L

    the mazda 3 1.6L makes about 11s to 100kph from 0 so IMO kung di ka naman adik sa bilis ok na ko sa Mazda3 1.6L. Looks wise, sya pinakamaganda compared sa civic, altis & sentra which you see often.

    Yes. If you would compare the Mazda3 1.6L vs the Altis and Civic on the same route, the Mazda3 will consume more fuel because the car is much heavier, designed for a 2.0L engine. If your normal route would be consisting of many stop-go actions like driving in Makati CBD, Pasig or San Juan you fuel consumption will be very poor. BUT if your driving area would be mostly highway and constantly moving traffic, fuel consumption would be better but still lower than the equivalent Civic or Altis.
