All New 2017 Mazda 3

[jut703]

I don't think it's flooding. He hasn't made multiple posts in the last 5 pages of this thread. The only other thread I see the plate relocators is the 2014 Mazda 3 thread, which I understand is a different product altogether.

But if you want to take a hard stance on it, then yes, even a single post about selling a product shouldn't be allowed. However, most of the threads have some sort of trading every now and then. Personally I think it's okay as long as the thread is not derailed completely into a trading thread.

yes Im taking my stand on it. Posting in Mazda 2, Mazda 3 both thread with his relocator. Pwede naman sa isa na lang but not all the three.

Flooding ang alam ko same form of posting sa tatlong thread with his email for inquiry. tanggalin nya yung email nya for inquiry hindi flooding yun malamang.

Its not different product. Same brand of car, same purpose and same built for the plate number to relocate paanong different product yun.

Following your logic, if I had a spoiler that fits a Honda City, is that the same product as a spoiler for a Civic?

The mounts for the 2014-2016 Mazda 3 are different from the 2017 model, and are also different from the Mazda 2.

Also, imagine you're a newbie to this forum and you have a Mazda 2, so naturally you read the Mazda 2 thread. You think the plate blocking the kodo grill is ugly and you want to do something about it. It won't be automatic for you to check the Mazda 3 thread and find the plate relocator there. You wouldn't even know that there was a plate relocator in the first place unless you've seen it in the Mazda 2 thread.

You can argue that even inquiries should be kept through PMs, but it's actually more efficient if they ask directly through email/phone. The actual transaction has always been kept out of the threads.

If it's such a big deal to you, then an agreeable concession is to keep the inquiries through PM. No contact details of any sort on the actual thread itself. But if you want to do that, make sure to also flag red_one of D3, jonathanne of Huper, and all other active members who also have business interests related to their posts.

That's just my take on the matter, feel free to do as you wish if you genuinely think that makes Tsikot a better place. Welcome back. 😊

CLAVEL3699 sir, apologies if posting the relocators' re-availabilty has been deemed flooding. I humbly appeal em be viewed the way jut & Cathy did. I hope you can check the mod's history, it was designed & made for personal consumption....Then, clamor came. Had to devise ways to make these available for sharing. It wasn't easy to màke em DIY easy without drilling & I can't do commercial quantities.
There are 3 distinct & specific relocators: the current 2, preFL3 & the FL3....Being an owner of both the Mazda2DJ & the 3BM, I only post em on threads each applies to. I seldom even stray to topics I don't have 1st hand knowledge of.
Reasons why I provide the email contact? This forum's PM inbox can be limited.....& to avoid exactly what is accused of the posts. I do get a ton of PMs not about the relocator here. Email is easier to track, too.
Like many here, cars are amongst my passions. The relocators were borne of that, not commerce. If it were the latter, I'd be all over ad sites & social media.... but no. I don't even have FB. I look to the forums, like most here, as a car owner....for the sharing....whether my random 2cents have any worth to anyone, that's not for me to call.
I hope this appeal will grant some slack....I extend my appreciation to jut & Cathy for seeing this side of the coin. Thanks much.

Agree with jut and Cathy ... maybe it's good to give a wee bit of slack to those who contribute a lot to this forum ... as long as they are not abusive ...

Maybe you can allow travajante to create a new topic about his plate relocators ...

I think travajante was just being informative.

All his historical posts. Not just that one post you quoted. If you want to take a hard stance posts of that nature as jut mentioned then so be it.

No need to shout. We're all civil here.

With regards to Bose system on Mazda, it really depends from where you are coming from. Or perhaps ano ang reference mo ng magandang sound. Overall it sounds descent naman.

Thanks sir Nelson de Leon and psychadelicfurs for your replies, Alam ko naman quality ng sound ng bose sa mga home theater/music, di lang ako sure if worth it itong nasa Mazda 3, pero mukhang sulit naman coming from you guys.

Onga eh nung una kasi I was looking at the Mazda 2 Crimson Edition, pero nung nakita ko yan Mazda 3 Speed ganda talaga, You get what you pay for. YOLO car indeed.

[jut703]

^yup. The Mazda 3 was second to the Altis. Now it's down to third with much lower sales as the Civic has taken the lion's share of the dwindling compact segment.

It's nice to see that Honda is trying to get its mojo back & Toyota shedding the safe & boring.
Mazda is not & will never be as big as those 2, but has always given the enthusiasts something to cheer w/ fun, drive-centric cars. They pushed Rotary when no1 would...& recently, Skyactiv...which got everyone's attention. The styling, minimalist & euro-esque premium.
Toyota's Yaris iA, a rebadged Mazda2 DJ, speaks volumes.
I wish the big guys would try harder & put more effort than feed CVTs to hit fuel & manufacturing economy numbers.
Personally, I don't buy cars based on popularity nor resale. I grind most of mine to the ground. Neither am I badge loyal. Still have an old Toyota & a lil euro approaching imagined classic state.
Why the 3 over whatever were there 3yrs back? Try explaining love....Would I the FL3 over any out there today? No doubt...but that's just me.
My only advice to new car seekers....go buy your happiness.

Most cars that have well designed driving dynamics or are pure driving pleasure vehicles will not be suited for the masses ... yes, they are fun to drive ... but for the 95-99% of everyday driving, it will simply not be of any use nor will it be practical ...

Take a look at the Honda Civic ... the 8th and 9th generation were not even that good ... and yet, it still topped the sales charts in the U.S. ... it's because of their practicality ...

Agree...My use is a bit off the usual. The road is my office where worsening traffic has become growingly agonizing. I refuse more discomfort by opting for a car I won't look forward to driving everyday.

Here in NCR, I see alot of Mazda 3 than the new Honda Civic. Mazda 2 is also catching up. So, in my opinon, car buyers have now opened their eyes and mind that the new Mazda 3 or the Skyactiv engine or the Mazda brand itself is serious and really here to stay. I agree that it is not practical... It is not pang masa... Mazda is now a premium Japanese brand anyway. Before I bought my Mazda 3, I was eyeing for a Corolla Altis. But after a ton of research, after I read the 2014 Mazda thread here, I fell inlove with the Mazda 3. And so I followed my heart. Oh what a joy the Mazda 3 has brought me.

^ Where in NCR sir? Usual route ko kasi Makati-BGC and Im seeing only few.

Anyway.. I both did a test drive ng Mazda 3 at Honda Civic and its really the Mazda 3 that I fell in love with.

Na excite ako sa Civic nung pinapanood ko yung mga video sa Youtube pero nung sinakyan ko na, hindi na ako ganung na excite, ewan ko kung bakit. Hahaha.

Now Im scouting to which branch I will get the unit.

Nabasa ko here before na may dealership that offers 3+2 years warranty. Is it still available pa kaya? At saan?

[travajante]

What do you like about which?

Longer rear overhang, smaller wheels & wells make the Civic look longer, lower & heavier. Honda went the busy way, Mazda....minimalist.
