Mazda3

thanks sa confirmation fafs.

Pinuntahan pala namen kahapon yung magandang offer na branch at yun na finalize na, bayaran na lang sana by this week na... Libre yung spoiler, yung nakadikit hindi yung naka angat (mukha kasing Mitsubushi lancer pag yung naka angat, mas bagay para saken sa M3 yung nakadikit)... Then nagpadagdag na lng kame ng sideskirt, Tail pipe finisher, wind visor at yung sensor sa likod pag umaatras...

Info lang din po yung 2009 M3 V (4dr) may immobilizer(anti theft) na din na kasama, so ang difference lng nito (in terms of Feature and looks, hindi kasama Engine)sa 2.0 M3 R ay wala lang syang autolight, auto wipe at yung moonroof ba tawag dun 16 inches lang yung sa V sa 2.0 R 17 inches ang mugs...

itim na din yung kulay ng sa may speedometer, sa M3 S kc puti. With ambient blue na din yung lights nito sa may speedometer, pagkakaalam ko kasi yung M3 S wala (not sure). naka Auto climate na din yung sa aircon, sa M3 S kasi wala nito. iba kasi yung looks ng pihitan ng aircon sa naka auto climate at hindi.

Ganda talaga ng M3 labas at loob, sulit lahat

Sa presyong casa ng sideskirt (I'd assume mga 15k), pwede na magpagawa ng buong bodykit (front chin/rear bumper/sideskirts).

fafs mda tama po 15k nga... hehehe... ok lang po, basta makumpleto na muna, :D thanks din po ng madame sa tulong :D

[wicked]

Mga fafs eto na naman ako may tanong hehe, tanong ko lang po yung tungkol sa plate number pag bagong bili ang car, wala pa pong plate number yun agad di ba? pede ko po bang magamit ang kotse kahit wla pang palte number o huhulihin? and gano po ba katagal lumabas ang bagong plate number? salamat

[Bravoexo]

Dunno now, pero I advise on a limited basis ang gamit. Like, non-major streets. Kasi, ako rin maiinis na may gagawa ng major traffic jam sa road eh wala panamang plaka...(not that I'm saying you will cause something, though, he he)

It takes a week or two.

Hi! I’m new here. I’m planning to buy my own mazda 3 this month or next month kaso nalilito talaga ako sa mga offers ng different branches, hindi ko alam if good deal na ba or di pa. Pa-PM naman ng branch or SA na nakausap mo, kasi yung nakausap ko magbabayad pa ako ng additional for the sideskirts and spoiler. Worried din ako dun sa nabasa ko na 08 model ang binigay sa kanya.. Wala akong alam sa cars so any help/info would be greatly appreciated.

hello,

My best advice would be..to hold your cash/purchase for a few more months. Why? it's because Mazda3 new 2010model is about to come to our shore. Kapag bumili ka na ngaun sayang naman..luma na agad ang model ng kotse mo though kabibili mo pa lang. Remember Car is about year model not really how old the car is.

naisip ko rin yan eh.. kaya lang malamang mas mahal yung 2010 model nila kasi bago yun eh, d ko rin masyadong type yung 'smiling face' niya eh.. though d ko pa nakita yung specs nun. san kaya may mababasang ganun? ok na rin ako sa 09 model, prob ko lang kung saang branch may best deal.

The smiling face isn't as bad when you've seen the car in person.

I have, and the new 3 looks great.

Bro. dami nyan sa friendly google...maglalaway ka sa mga pics nya..definitely a head turner.

[vienne_vonitta]

I think you're right, even my 2008 mazda 3 doesn't look good in pictures in many angles. It's not photogenic. But in personal, looks really good!

BTW, do you have any idea about the actual FC of new M3 in City and Highway in Malaysia/Singapore?

Welcome to tsikot!

Just look for an SA with poor sales. Can surely give you a better deal!
PM me, and I will tell you how to look for one.

Happy Car Shopping!

Nku...sorry Maam...my bad.

I'd think the majority of FC changes from the old mazda3 to the new one will depend on the engine/transmission because the actual body isn't so much lighter than the outgoing model.

Medyo panget lang that for a relatively heavy car, there's no slated 1.8L engine option, giving the base end 3's the lowest power-weight ratio in its class:

1.6/1.8L segment
Altis - 109HP, 1170 KG (1.6E MT)-1205 KG (1.6V AT)
Civic - 140HP, 1200 KG (1.8V MT) - 1235 KG (1.8S AT)
Lancer (old) - 110HP, 1140 KG (GTS/GLX)

2.0L segment
Altis - 141HP, 1250 KG
Civic - 155HP, 1295 KG
Lancer EX MX - 155HP, 1335 KG

The Mazda 3 slots in the 2.0 segment at a very decent P:W ratio, given that it's body+engine will be in the 1330-1360KG range (based on brochures). Pero mukhang makakawawa yung 1.6L variant - 1300-1330 KG range, pero 100-115hp max lang :/

How about the 0.29 drag coefficient(more aerodynamic) of the new M3 + 5 AT. This should contribute to Highway FC improvement.

I think the new M3 is 150kg less curb weight than the current one. It Should have slight improvement in power to weight ratio. This should also contribute to both City and Highway FC improvement. But don't know the actual figures(the one's measured by owners of new M3)

[harrissuy]

I read somewhere on the net that only the 2.0L and up models (which never had the P-W ratio problem to begin with) get the 5AT, and that the 1.6L is still stuck with the 4AT.
