Welcome to tsikot!

I've reposted my previous comments here found in other mazda 3 thread.

1. Nagtaas ang Mazda ng tig 30k sa Mazda 3 dahil siguro maganda pa ang benta nila. Pero kahit nagtaas sila mas mababa pa rin unit price nila compared sa Honda. Kasi sa Honda walang big discount kang makukuha. Sa Mazda, depende sa haggle skills mo at sa dealer, makakakuha ka ng malaking discount. Plus mas marami ka pang features na makukuha sa Mazda 3 compared sa Honda civic.

Yung nga lang based sa conservative estimates ko mga around 14,000 petot ang matitipid mo a year using the current Civic(assuming 60 km per day ang travel mo at 30 pesos/liter 365 days at assuming lamang ng 2 km/liter ang Civic)

IMHO, kung ikaw yung tipo na every 3 years change to new car
ka lagi, OK lang na Mazda 3 pa rin gamitin mo. Pero kung mag-iistay sa yo ng 10 years(o kaya baguio <-> manila travel mo, hehehe), ang laki ng matitipid mo using a Honda, or Toyota car

Ako kasi balak ko if possible after 3 years palitan ko ng bagong unit para iwas maintenance problem(tapos na kasi warranty period). Pero hintayin ko muna 2010 Mazda 3 or 2011/2012 Honda Civic, hehehe.

2. Aware ako na hindi talaga gaano ka fuel efficient ang mazda 3 bago ako nakabili. Before iniisnab ko nga lang mga lumang mazda 3 with red tail lights. Pero nung naging black ang tail lights nila, bigla akong na in-love sa looks plus yung additinal features nya na wala sa ibang car of the same price bracket. According to numerous car reviewers, para ka na rin daw nakapag drive ng BMW pag may mazda 3 ka(though i've never driven a BMW). Type na type ko rin interior looks parang mala BMW din ang dating sa amber instrument panel lightning nya. And in fairness, hindi naman pinakahuli ang mazda 3 in terms of fuel efficiency. Maybe sa gitna lang siya.

3. Value for money ika nga advantage ng Mazda 3, deceiving kasi SRP nila. Kung makakatawad ka naman ng malaki kahit through car loans, dapat sana adjust na nila pababa price nila. Feeling ko rin noon mahal ang mga mazda 3 parang ka level ng mga audi, bmw sa price. Mantakin mo yun, yung pinaka low end na mazda 3 with activematic transmission, 6 cd changer, steering wheel audio controls e halos kasing price range nya lang second to the highest na high end ng vios.

Sa US nga talo lagi ang Civic sa Mazda 3 sa mga reviews dahil in terms of features, lamang na lamang ang 3 pag kinompare sa same price bracket na Civic.

Summary ng comments ko:

Kung hanap mo value for money car(more feautures for the same amount of money) + sportier exterior looks and zoom zoom drive experience, mazda 3 ka na.

Kung hanap mo fuel efficient car at malakas humatak+ futuristic interiors, Honda civic ka na.

Hope this will help

BRO salamat sa advices. hope malaman ko sana as soon as possible ung contact mo pra malaman ko na ung price nya. coz i contacted already 1 guy from QC. and they offered me those prices, discounts, freebies & hulugan issue. i dont depend sa price nitong isa gusto ko may ka competensya cya. para malaman tlga. i know also na magkakalaban ang mga yan... nandito pa ako sa angola africa still working to attain my dream to be a part wid u guys.. gusto ko nga pag-uwi ko ung bagong car na un ang susundo sa akin....

Sir lambo!!! may knowledge kba, regarding sa AVT gps philippine map edition.. ok ba ung brand na un?? and pagkaalam ko dun available na cla sa mga casa too. assuming, how much would range the price of this item...


ok din ba ung 2nd hand na mazda 3? and what model is the best???

[glntVR]

If your just going to modify(hopefully you don't make it look ricey) the Mazda 3 all out like in your avatar, why not just get a 2nd hand unit? You save a lot of money and more money can be spend on Proper mods.

[boi_silip]

well for me nowadays that was 1 of my option. if i really to do modifications, i would rather say yes for 2nd hand model. but worries ko lang kung malaki ba ang differences ng mazda 3 2005 ~ 07 models compared sa 08~09 models? please if there someone can define the specification difference. thanks glntVR pero may alam kabang decals modification expert na shops?

thanks sa inyong lahat mga bro!!!

Ang pagkakaalam ko nagkaroon ng major change mazda 3 simula 2007, about 100 improvements ang na-introduced for 2007 model, so yung 2007 and up, malaking improvement na yung makikita mo sa M3, isa na dito yung SVT/VVT engine na nagcontribute sa FC improvment ng M3, black tail lights na rin mga m3 simula 2007. So in short, old models ng m3 is from 2004 -> 2006, while newer models started from 2007 up to present.

Regarding AVP gps, first time ko lang narinig to. Anyway, hintay na lang tayo sa ibang tsikot members na magcomment dito sa thread, or search mo na lang sa tsikot or clubmazda3 kung may existing na thread for AVP gps, or worst create ka na lang ng new thread for AVP gps.

your choice comparison would only be the civics and the corollas. they are on top of the food chain, u can also try the subaru impreza, if your talking about economy cars.
civic and corollas are known for reliability and gas mileage, they are just fuel economic cars. the vtec engines on the civics are very solid, do your research.

mazda's advantage in my opinion is that they got more HP than corollas and civics, thus more fun to drive and upgraded interiors. hauls gas more though.

if i were you, i will get the subaru impreza, 170 HP, its more than the corollas and civics, i think they only have 120HP more or less. and Imprezas are all wheel drive, more grip on the road on rainy days, more fun to drive to.

and if u have enough money, go with the wrx or legacy gt. i tell you, they are super fun and fast esp the newer models. you can smoke the civics and corollas.

watch some videos on subaru wrx's on youtube..

if you really want mazda's, get the mazdaspeed3, they are top of the line mazda3, which has 2.3L turbo, very fast, but im not sure if they are available in the phils.

Reason? Well... i dont know. Joke lang.

Read this link. Its a comparo between Lancer EX GT-A and Mazda 3 2.0R

http://www.motioncars.com/drives/05....8_01/index.htm

Maybe this will give you some overview about the car.


What i have is the 1.6S version and im pretty satisfied except the fact that the FC s*cks on traffic but will give you a good mileage on highway driving, especially if you will do the hypermile thingy. (60-80kph).


AFAIK, they have promos like side skirt and lip type spoiler on the S version but not sure with the V variant. Then a low DP.

Usually, they give out free 1K Kms (2 weeks) and 10K Kms(6 months) free service maintenance.

HTH.
