jacobstfrancis Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Good afternoon everyone. I wonder if the people here would give their comments and/or opinions to the Mazda 3. Its one of those cars that I am seriously considering. How's the ride? I heard that it was "under-powered" (whatever that means). Is this true? It seems to be a popular choice in terms of its looks. But what about its performance? Also, when I inquired about it, I was told by one of the sales people that there was a three (3) month wait. Is this indicative of the number of people who have decided to pruchase the Mazda 3? Would apprecitate your insights. Thanks. Quote Link to comment

Thanks.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> the mazda 3 in the us has a 2 liter engine. since the displacement here is 1600 and the cars have the same body as the ones in the us, this makes the local version seemingly underpowered. of course, underpowered really depends on the user's interpretation of power Quote Link to comment
kulisap_skip Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 magkano na ba presyo ng M3 ngayon? Quote Link to comment
S14 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 according to a friend who has bought one they said it was under power and have a high fuel consumption. But the looks is good though. Think better off getting a Jazz or a suzuki swift Quote Link to comment
floatingchords Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 magkano na ba presyo ng M3 ngayon?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> 738 is the cheapest all power, matic. Quote Link to comment

zipzamzowee Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 If my company would insist that I get a new car, this would definitely be my choice. Quote Link to comment

Thanks.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> for your information about the M3, the 1600 has 2 versions the S and V. but for both models, the hore power rating is about 105. what makes the car seem underpowered is the fact that its weight is about 1400 kg more or less compared to the other cars in its segment (weight ranges from 1100 to 1250 kg) so the pulling power is less. but what makes up for its seeming low power is the sportronic transmission which allows the driver to shift gear while travelling without to step on the gas. its just like driving the manual. as for the ride, the M3 is somewhat stiff because of its racing configuration but then again it hogs the the road better compared to the altis. as for the other car features (seats, interior, etc), i believe it is better compared to the other models in its class.

homy Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 Mazda 3 really looks great! No other sedan in its class came up with this sporty looks here in the Manila. The car really strikes hard when you see it. The 1.6L though doesn't give as much power as civic. Fuel consumption is actually on normal consumption in it's class. If you are not to race it go get one. The 5 door gives a great look specially if front grill will be changed to the sporty look like what mod is used on civics. Though the M3's weight is a little heavy compared to rivals but very spacious. Great legroom! Quote Link to comment
Snipermode Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 honda civics are indeed powerful. especially those with vtec engine. The Mazda 3 indeed looks heavy but the 5 door hatchback really looks good. If you are looking for power, you may opt for the 2.0 DOHC variant of the Mazda 3. Power is comparable to Honda SIR but the only downfall is that a stick is lacking in the middle of the car. A/T 2.0 DOHC isn't as powerful as a M/T 2.0 DOHC. I guess it would be more appropriate if i will compare it to the 2.0 DOHC Vtec A/T that was release a year back. The 2.0 DOHC M3 costs around 940K. The difference you get is the engine. The projector headlights. the altezza tails. THe skirt. The 17s rims. The zero lift spoiler. The sun-moon roof and the different grill design. sayang lang kasi the 2.0 DOHC is only for the sedan design. wala pa sa 5 door hatchback... Quote Link to comment
