Huwaaa.. uminit na sana ang interest ko dahil "all new mazda 3" ang sabi. I was expecting the new sky-active engine under the hood. Really still the old 1.6L engine?? IMHO-disgusting. Well..the 1.8L GLS Elantra will continue to serve me for years ahead.

Bakit Kaya hindi skyactiv katulad nito 2012 Mazda3 Skyactiv

Kasi at the ridiculous prices both cars are priced at, mas sulit yung Civic.

Saw one * Mazda greenhills, maganda naman eh. Mahal lang.

Tsaka never naman talaga na-outnumber ng Mazda ang Civic. Altis may laban pa, pero Mazda? Wala eh.

In all honesty, I took a seat inside. If they gave the car better specs for the price. I think the new 3 could have given the Civic, Altis and Elantra a run for their money.

Brandwise, I think Mazda will have better brand reception than Hyundai from those moving from traditional Japanese brands.

Iba kasi perception ng tao sa Honda, tignan nyo naman yung CRV... Lakas ng benta kahit ganun price.

Eh sa Mazda, iilan lang nakikita ko sa kalye kahit maganda talaga.

From 05, i liked every car on their lineup.. Maybe except forthe BT50

Wala talagang ilalaban ang new MZ3 sa 9th gen Civic dahil luma kc powertrain nya. Kahit skyactive pa engine neto at 2.0L displacement, hindi pa rin masyado bebenta. Wala kasing 1.6 or 1.8L man lang na skyactive engines to look forward to. tsk, tsk. Mas mabenta pa daw CX-5. Bread and butter pa naman na model ng Mazda Philippines ang MZ3

I can't imagined my 2008 MZ3 has the same old engine with the 2012 MZ3.

Pero in fairness ganda ng design external and internal. Nawala na rin obvious smiley face nya kahit paano.

Let's wait na lang for the new Mazda 6, baka may laban pa to sa Sonata.
