Mazda 3 Sedan

To improve my mileage, I installed a fuel charger and air charger. The improvement is noticeable. When driven below 80kmh, I get 13.3km/L, 12.5km/L at 90kmh, around 11km/L at 100kmh. Slightly heavier than previous model as such unable to attain speeds in excess of 165kmh with 4 occupants and boot fully loaded. Still better than Toyota Altis in terms of handling and high speed driving as it is very stable even when cornering at over 80kmh. Mazda's pride is it's brakes, fantastic !!... Read More

Purchased the new Mazda 3 and driving it for a month now. Love the exterior look, the smily face has been toned down with a more sporty front bumber. To me this was the main selling point, in terms of looks it beats the boring 2012 civic and altis hands down. Nothing against forte and elantra owners, but I'm not gona pay close to 100k for a korean car. Handling is excellent. Takes sharp turns and high speeds very well. The car feels solid and grounded. Interior is nice, love the sporty cockpit. Audio is also very good. Fuel consumption is not great but still bearable, with no sky active technology available yet, but then again everybody knows mazda has never been known for good FC. Initial pick up is abit slow, but after a while you do feel the zoom zoom kicking in. The car does not feel heavy, and you can really enjoy the driving experience. Features include keyless start, auto lock, rain senser wipers, headlights, dimming rear view mirror, remote boot release, and cruise control, useful if you're driving on msian highways. Major disappointments for me are the 4 speed auto gear box, lack of ipod/ipad connectivity and lack of memory seat functions. The service centre kinda sucks, guys are unfriendly and not very helpful.... Read More
