Google Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 (edited) bro. test driven one. tama lang ang hatak for a 1.6 engine. hayuf ang interiors, tsaka ang lakas ng dating ng exteriors. mukhang ibebenta mo na ata yung lancer mo ah. Edited November 16, 2004 by Google Quote Link to comment
Van Wilder Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 its the best looking car in its class imho. (but if you can get rid of those altezza lights, the better) power is adequate for a 1.6 liter features are very abundant its got ABS, EBD, 4 wheel disc brakes, 16 inch wheels (for the 1.6V) it has no fake wood inside it hehe! but if you got more cash to burn get the 2.0R. its one good piece of machine. CONS for the mazda 3 - i hate altezza lights ( personal taste)- only available in AT (not fun to drive) Quote Link to comment

Im thinking of getting one. Ford already offers 2-yr free service/maintenance. Maybe its just a matter of time for Mazda3. Heh! Its just too sexy. Thanks for the inputs Van Wilder Edited November 16, 2004 by HanSolo Quote Link to comment
redshift Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Best looking compact sedan available here! Good engine, trick semi-auto tranny (2.0L version only), nice handling... If it was possible, this would be my pick over the Civic (at para maiba naman) Only con I see was it small trunk... Quote Link to comment

luol_deng Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 my auntie has the mazda SP23 sports version of the 3 includes LED lights, climate control, 17inches alloys. Im not sure what difference they have in philippines to australia but the mazda 3 is good uses some technology from RX8. It has a 2.3 Litre engine hence SP23, goes pretty fast pumping out 115Kw of power i dont know whats that in horsepower. The ride handle is great it kinda wants to understeer if you push it to its limits, one big problem too is the tyre noise maybe it has to do with the205/50R17 89V tyres it sits on and last thing too when pushing the engine to higher speeds the pedals tend to vibrate not a mechanical problem just vibrates.one question why do all engines in philippines are 1.3-1.6 engines??? Good bang for your peso the mazda 3! Quote Link to comment
50fd Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 one question why do all engines in philippines are 1.3-1.6 engines??? Good bang for your peso the mazda 3!<{POST_SNAPBACK}> why?? one because it would be a better suited here since here we always drive in traffic and not in large hiways, thus (second) i would also consume less gas a big factor for most filipinos in buying cars since let's face it this is a third world country. and third as we know smaller engine means lower prices.. before: corolla, lancer, mazda3 (323), civic, sentra and the other same class model are the lowest/entry level for a sedan. thus they have to create an afordable car for the public. 1.3L sedans are mostly use by taxis. that is also why civic did not have a 1.3L class since honda does not allow public usage. now: corolla, lancer, mazda3, civic, senta/exalta and other models rarely have 1.3L or 1.5L car. usually the smallest engine is at 1.6L and most of them have a 2.0L variant. WHY? because most of these jap companies have release a lower class sedan.. eg. vios/echo, and city/jazz. these are just my views on the matter hope it could serve a little help.

acidboy Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 hindi naman rare ang 1.6 variant ng mazda3 eh. sa buong asia may variant nito, ang wala 2.3- sa japan din standard ang 1.6 axela. nabasa ko rin sa topgear website na masgusto pa nga nila ang 1.6 kaysa 2.0 eh. pero ang 2.3 variant nagiging unanimous "editor's choice" sa mga car mags para sa 2004 best subcompact.

Nutgar Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Mazda 3 1.6L. Put your comments here.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> One thing I know of the Mazda3, it uses the platform of the Ford Focus so both cars uses interchangeable parts. Quote Link to comment

abc999 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 sorry for the typo. I meant 2.0. I finally got it and very satisfied with it. It is less roomy than accord but overall it is a great car. Quote Link to comment
