The car becomes an extension of yourself after using it for a long time. Mazda just made a good marketing slogan that describes well the quality of their cars.

The very comfortable seats, the minimalist yet intuitive dashboard, the BMW-like gas pedal feel that gives that smooth acceleration control, yeah I feel like very connected with the M3.

Exactly!!!!
On my 4th year with the 3 & off yojin, yet the daily anticipation & thrill hasn't waned. Few cars I've owned has done this to me.

Are you both from Mazda? Hehe. Alright, alright, you've convinced me somehow. Is the 1.5 V variant more than sufficient? Or should i get the R variant?

I think it's safe to call my CX-5 the red catfish. [emoji16]

Though we already called him Tony because he resembles the red color of Ironman.

Haha, we're just owners that really enjoy the M3 SkyActiv experience.

The V variant is sufficient for city driving imho. The R variant just provides better aesthetics like the sunroof, leather seats, BMW-like LED headlights. The stock R engine will give more oomph but after-market tweaks on the 1.5L can provide some performance improvements. Check out the reviews at OVTph facebook page:

Same sentiments... I thought they are paid by Mazda to advertise. Seriously, no regrets with my purchase of Mazda.

How should I say this? I've been looking ways to convince my father to take the CX-9 if ever he decides to ditch his Santa Fe. If only my brother can really convince him to take it at least, because I really wanted him to have the Miata (because we as brothers have an ulterior motive).

Haller, so I've finally decided to go with the M3 after I have test driven both. The comfort of driving is really good with M3, almost the same as my Honda. The automatic shifting is better din unlike Honda's CVT, all in all, a very pleasant driving experience.

Ngayon, help me choose between R and V naman.
