Any updates on when the facelifted Mazda3 is going to be released here in the Philippines? And how much na rin? Thanks!

[rj_tim]

Mahal po ba at mahirap maghanap ng spare parts ng Mazda 3 compared with other compact sedans like Honda Civic and Toyota Altis? San po makakahanap ng murang spare parts for the 3?

[Bravoexo]

Sorry, haven't been here lately... what spare part? My 3's 2 years old na, pero only have had to replace brake pads, aircon filter, air intake filter, oil filter, and that's about it that's car specific.

Generic parts, like windshield wipers, battery (2years din), tires and wheels don't really count.

Pero they are available either at the casa, or at mazda oem parts retailers ... pretty sure the folks at teamrage.ph or clubmazda3.com.ph can help you with that...

[mackieboy]

for parts, meron din sa chandler.. orig mazda pa..

teamrage.ph and protegetech.org are good sources of information for mazda3

Guys, yung 2007 Mazda3 2.0L, yung new engine na ba ang nilagay?

Yung luma kasi meron lang VICS (variable intake) yung 2.0L, yung 1.6L lang ang may SVT (sequential valve timing). Pero kasi yung sa ad yesterday, nakalagay na yung 2.0L ay may VICS & SVT. Sa abroad ginagamit na ito... from 140hp ay maging 150hp...

To add, 0% ang 24 months to pay ng MZ3R.

guys,

ano specs ng HID sa 2r? is it 6000k or something else?

also, where's the best place to shop for accessories?

thanks!

I certainly hope this is true. Para di na sabihing "underpowered" ang Mazda3 R

[rj_tim]

May nakausap ako na sales agent (or manager yata) na taga-Mazda GH at sabi nya all Mazda 3 variants (1.6 and 2.0L) have their engines equipped with SVT daw. Is this true? Kasi from what I've read here walang SVT yung 2.0L. Kaya nakakapagtaka dahil yung binigay nya na figures ng HP at torque ay 141 HP at 181 Nm pa rin

10K? He must be kidding... violet na ang labas nun!

OEM HID usually are rated at 4300K.

[eggman]

By the way ilalabas na ng Mazda Philippines ang new Mazda3 next month daw,nakakita ako nung Friday ng isang truck na puno ng new Mazda3 1.6 liter sedan na bago ang rims(17 inch five spoke),grille(may chrome yung upper portion) at bagong colors(may dark purple na tulad sa Mazda6 at Lime Green)..Yung 2.0R ay may improvements din..

[kyoots]

anu-ano kaya ang mga improvements? sana madami improvements sa hatch... hope they release the 5sp manual tranny here...

the improvements should really be a cut above the rest in anticipation of the new corolla and lancer (and probably the sentra) which will be released this year.

[mackieboy]

wow! sana nga maganda!
