Up. Nice Mazda community...

BTT:

As per experience lately...

Madali lang po maghanap ng piyesa ng Mazda lalo sa Banawe.
Mura lang din siya like Honda parts.

Kelan ba lalabas yung gen2 na Mz3?

May mga nagsasabi matipid naman daw sa gas yung Mz2 sedan (m/t) as per actual owners.

I asked a mazda SA, and according to them the 2nd generation of mazda 3 will be released on 2012, I was supposed to wait for that, kaya lng 1 or 2 years is a bit too long, kung ni release lang sana nila kagad, wala sana akong ganitong dillema,

[lucky023]

guys how much usually ang service ng mazda 3 nyo?

[ajOT]

what does the dealer(s) hold-up on releasing the 2nd gen of Mazda 3?

how would you describe in a sentence your Mazda3? Performance? Style? Convenience? Comfort? Speed? Power? etc.

does really all Mazda 3 comes as A/T dont they have an M/T?

These are the strength of Mazda 3:1. Long lasting sporty exterior looks2. BMW like drive handling3. Value for money, more features included(about 100k pesos less than Civics)4. Good Highway FC at 15km/L(100km/h speed)Weakness1. 4 A/T only2. City FC of only 7km/L(Heavy traffic)3. Underpowered for 1.6L variantsThe local variants of Mazda 3 are all equipped with AT trans.

They are lying, lalabas na early next year. The local Mazda3 is an OLD car in many markets already.

Don't believe those people who are just after your commission.

[jboracion]

well, sana nga lumabas na, kasi natutukso na din akong kumuha ng iba, ahahahaha, did anyone tried checking the website of mazda ph? I noticed that the mazda 3 is not shown on the changing pictures of the main page? Baka dahil malapit na nga ilabas,

I'm hoping Mazda 3 would be released already by next year. Do you have information where the 2nd. gen Mazda 3 will be assembled. Laguna plant or in Thailand? Or CBU from Japan like what Singapore and Malaysia is doing.

tnx for the info....
by the way.....
what do you mean by BMW like driving handling?
so therefore, it is highly suggested to have a 2.0 Mazda3? how is the fuel consumption on these type? id been hearing that matakaw daw sya sa gas, is these true?
& to add-on unto that, how are the parts? is it accesible in most market areas?
thanks....

Sa mga ayaw maniwala, the all-new MAZDA3 has reached the ASEAN region.

Mazda Singapore site......malapit na ang Pilipinas.

Sige, gusto nyo pang bumili LUMANG kotse....

Yan pati Malaysia, just a short boatride from Sulu, meron na all-new M3.

Sino pa ba ang may gusto sa Lumang Mazda3.

Mazda 3 has the most superb drive handling performance in local compact sedan class similar to its Ford Focus cousin.

It means:

1. Fastest cornering
2. Most sensitive steering
3. Stable high speed driving
4. In short, it's a sports oriented compact sedan

BTW, there are several mazda parts dealers available in Banawe, QC. like MazFord, Mazda Autorama.

The 2.0L has better FC in city driving compared to the 1.6L model because it's not underpowered, but in Highway driving, the 1.6L has better FC.

Both 2nd gen. Mazda 3's on sale in Singapore and Malaysia are CBU imports from Japan which are really much expensive compared to the locally assembled 1st gen Mazda 3 exported also in Asean region. These two countries can afford to buy these more expensive new 3's from Japan because they are richer than us. Singapore was first to get the new 3 then Malaysia followed. Nainggit yata. Di na nila mahintay yung Asean built new 3.

Anyway, I think it's still uncertain(correct me if I'm wrong) where the less expensive new Mazda 3 to be built in Asean region would be assembled(Either in Ford Laguna plant or Thailand). I hope it would be built here locally to make it less expensive and for stable local jobs at FGP plant. Once news where the Asean built new 3 would be built breaks out, that's the time we should start the clock ticking for the new Mazda 3 launch here. I'm also eagerly waiting for this event.

Large car companies do not think that way. It has been decided 2 years ago that the All-new Mazda3 will be built on the Mazda AAT plant in Thailand. Tooling for the new car is in place already.

I thought the decision to assemble the new Mazda 3 in AAT is just a rumour, and only the Fiesta and Mazda 2 will be assembled. Anyway, I guess this is true. Then the countdown should start now. This is good news for local Mazda 3 fans.

Any latest info what will happen to FGP plant in Laguna?

[shuyin5]

kumusta ang mazda 3 2006 model ?

2010 na now...any feedbacks guys ?

wala ba problems ? at hindi ba kayo hirap humanap ng pyes ?

TIA

[Bravoexo]

Mine's a 2005 model. Added a bunch of stuff this year.

Fog lights
HIDs
CAI
Headers
Big Brake Kit Fronts
Coilovers
Advanti Racing Wheels

Engine mounts fell. CV driveshaft broke, Ford plant had them in stock, overnight wait. Parts are easy to get and reputable service shops specialized with the Mazda3 platform are plentiful enough. (Mazford, Fordlandia *Banawe...Speedlab....Casa...PCC)

guys how much will it cost me if pinagawa ko ito sa casa?



bumangga kasi sa gutter. so lumuwag yung bumber ko. ;(

My bumper is also for replacement. Nag karoon sya ng big dent sa ilalim ng pag lamp nung tumama sa bato during parking. Nasa 20+K ang quote the casa for bumper replacement. The good thing is the insurance will shoulder the cost since I filed it as O/D. Only the participation ang share ko.

Replacement sa casa is 3-4weeks daw. IMO, ang tagal naman. pwede naman nilang pintahan yung bumper agad to much the color of the car then ikakabit na lang pag dinala na yung car sa casa. Im not sure bakit kailgangang abutin 3-4 weeks ang pag palit ng bumper.

Because they're going to order a new bumper. Casas don't stock spare bumpers... they all order them from the plants. Personal experience is the same with Honda, Ford, Toyota, Nissan, etcetera.

Be glad it's not major damage... if it's a really unusual item like a rear fender, be prepared to wait 2-3 months.
