Is it still worth it to buy a brandnew Mazda 3...

[Lucius]

abejr,

Congratulations on your decision and don't forget to visit www.clubmazda3.org. Plenty of people would be able to help you there as well.

Yeah, I think 8-9 km/l is definitely possible with the mz3. That's what I've been getting on my 2.0R so far. (Probably because I'm a slower driver than most haha!)

Jeff sama ka sa mga meetups ng club hahaha

Thanks, Deeges.

Oh, sama ka na din this friday meetup sa SPEEDLAB!

dude ano naging problema mo sa car mo? kasi sakin 2005 ko pa kinuha so far wala naman ako naging problems (exept siguro sa engine mount pero d ko nman nireklamo kasi pa simula pa lang napalitan kaagad sila na nagsabi sakin na sira na engine mount ko at pinalitan na nila). dude dealer ka nagpunta

Sa engine eh. I had it engine washed sa casa around nung first or second maintenance check. After having it serviced, nagkaroon ng vibration, yung feeling na parang mababa yung idling (ramdam mo hanggang sa seats). Tapos may whistling sound siya when you start the engine (every morning or kapag matagal kang naka-park at lumamig yung makina), yung tunog naman niya, parang maingay na fan belt, na lumalakas when you rev it, at medyo nawawala lang yung sound pag medyo mainit na yung makina.

I had it checked twice sa Mazda GH and Mazda Q.Ave. Sabi sa GH wala namang problema, sa Q.Ave may inayos sa engine mount nung first visit (medyo humina yung vibration), kaso nandun pa rin yung whistling sound, so I brought it back again, pinalitan naman ng drive train belt at tensioner. Ganun din, humina lang yung whistling sound, pero nandun pa rin.

Kaya ayun, badtrip lang kasi sobrang hectic rin ng work ko kaya I can't afford na magpabalik-balik sa casa tapos hindi naman nila magagawa. Mas nakakainis yung fact na less than a year pa lang yung car ko nung lumabas yung mga problema na 'to. Siyempre, halos 1M ang price ng vehicle tapos ganun lang yung kaya nilang gawin. Balak ko ipa-check sa Mazda Makati naman, baka sakaling magawa nila. Pag hindi, no choice, for sale na ito before mag 3 years.

Sir baka belt dressing lang kailangan para hindi dumulas ang belt at magingay. Minsan sobrang galing sa casa daming papapalitan sa iyo tapos hindi naman ma solve ung problem napagastos ka pa.

Hahaha, kung puwede lang talaga! Buti na lang wala pa naman akong binabayarang malaki (under warranty pa yung car). Isang subok na lang siguro na ipaayos, pag wala pa talaga, babye M3 na. Nakakainis rin kasi yung tunog eh, every morning parang baby starex van ang sound.

i gues if you really need a new car right now...nothing beats a Mazda 3 in its class with all the discounts and plans the dealers are throwing right now notwithstanding.

Car and Driver ran a comparison test between small sedans and the 3 still beat the current FD Civic.

I you can wait another year, the 2009 3 should be here by then.
