2nd-hand Mazda 3 advice

[rainman1003]

Hello mga sir! I'm interested in buying someone's 2007 Mazda 3.

Details are 44+km mileage, 1.6l engine.

Good price IMO, 365k. not flooded.

Can you give me any advice as to whether this is a good deal? What should I look out for when I inspect the unit?

thanks tsikot peeps!

You do know that the ride quality of the Mazda3 is on the firm side and the fuel consumption is kinda on the heavy side.

[rainman1003]

Sir is fuel consumption really high compared to the civic or altis?

Oo naman. Mababa kasi ang power ng 1.6L Mazda3 tapos mabigat pa siya.

Pero talagang solid iyang 3.

[rainman1003]

thanks for the advice... hopefully the low price offsets gastos para sa gas.

any other advice is welcome

Kung di ka naman speed freak, ok iyang Mazda 3 1.6L

Kung gusto mo naman ng speed talaga, Mazda 3 2.0R is my bet. Actually, this is the only variant I like sa lineup ng 3. :thumbup:

Kung more pa talaga Mazda 6 2.5L

One more thing, the rear seats in the Mazda3 is totally uncomfortable, especially on long drives. You can't find a position that your back will be comfortable.

Yes. If you would compare the Mazda3 1.6L vs the Altis and Civic on the same route, the Mazda3 will consume more fuel because the car is much heavier, designed for a 2.0L engine. If your normal route would be consisting of many stop-go actions like driving in Makati CBD, Pasig or San Juan you fuel consumption will be very poor. BUT if your driving area would be mostly highway and constantly moving traffic, fuel consumption would be better but still lower than the equivalent Civic or Altis.

I live in the QC area, and my office is in Timog, so okay lang naman ako sa ganyan sir. thanks for the advice!

[renzo_d10]

Hehe. Short drives also consume MORE fuel ha. And yes, sabi nga ni Niky, 6kms is very, VERY short.

Hi, i own an 06 mazda 3 before, just this june binenta ko na recently kc i have been changing parts one after the other, mataas na rin kc mileage. Whenever i needed parts i go to Golden Isuzu Shop, it's just near metropoint pasay. Look for Mike. Ok parts that he's selling helpful pa sya, an owner of m3 himself kaya he knows what u need.
He sells mazda parts, last time i went there mga april may tail lights sya.

Guys quick question lang. My cousin is on a hunt for a 2nd hand mazda 3. Question is ano ba ang tawag sa Low - Mid - Top variant nang mazda 3? Yun V variant nga ba ang pinaka mababa?
Hope some one would shed some light, thanks!

Easiest way to distinguish is through the rims.

Low end 1.6S variant has 15" rims. Mid-range 1.6V variant has 16" rims. High-end 2.0R variant has 17" rims.
