mycarforum: 2014 Mazda 3 part 114

Thanks for the clarifications guys...

mcf pple all rich... 5k 6k for premium is cheap...

�

my se tell me to get std, anyway they give foc lcd locally fitted. seats are from japan.. but leather is done locally

�

the premium is reflected in the omv, meaning my govt take more $ from me�

its not rich but there are features that are well worth the upgrade.

the LCD locally fitted is different from the original panel.

the local one just lol cannot make it.

+ 1 electronic adjustment for driver seat, no need say. premium it is.

Anyone interested in this boot plate?

the one with the word axela.

if U feel that u are ok to finance a $100k car now, what is that 5% more that prevent u from enjoying the other perks.

Hi,
Our Wireless-Car-Key actually has a traditional key in it.
But I cannot find the key-hole in the car. How to start the car if the battery of our Wireless-Key runs flat ?
Thanks.

I would suppose the key is used to unlock your door using the keyhole on the door.

�Std also has keyless entry and push start. �

�

My standard doesn't have keyless entry, only keyless start.�

Thanks.

Simply put the key touching the start button, then start the engine. It should still work.
Unless ur batt went completely flat.

Keyless entry mean pressing the buttons on your key fob to lock and unlock your car.

the moment you have the moolah to buy a car, usually you don't care about the 5%.

however if one is biting the bullet then will scrutinize every detail.

if you're committed to buy a car, just buy something that you can truly enjoy.

scrimp and save for the standard model for what.

not as if its 20k difference.

5k if divided out its barely anything a day. to get better stuff and you can enjoy.

of course everything is made in japan.

Hi pple, just sharing my experience with the new Mazda i got.

Just got my Mazda 3 2.0L soul red at a good price at $109888 (after all the discounts and using own insurance). Signed on the dot without test drive

Free 2 channel car cam, 1 year road tax, 3 years warranty

�

Was driving a 2008 Mazda 3 previously and I am totally enjoying my new ride. The pickup for the new Mazda 3 2L is good and relatively good fuel efficiency. The driving experience is totally refreshing comparing to the old ride which i had traded in.

�

another thing..there are really a lot of Mazda 3 Soul Red on the road..

(there are other 2 in my hdb estate car park)

Hi Ronanzc,

�

Is yours a 2.0L sedan or hatch?

�

I got the 2.0 Hatch for $110888 in April too, soul red. Got a 3+2 year warranty, but took the in-house insurance though....

�

Car drives like a dream to me, maybe because I came from a Mitsubishi lancer glx....

�

have 3 MZ3 in my carpark, plus one MZ6, all also�soul red lol. Good lah, more popular the car is hopefully the spare parts become cheaper :)

Mine is sedan. Seems like yours is a good deal

�

One of the annoying thing is that there is a always a long que at the service centre. Must book at least 2-3 weeks in advance.

i am already at 1300 km and had not done my 1k servicing yet

Actually at tek doing my 1k servicing now, booked yesterday. for 1k servicing can do after work hours since it is just an inspection.

Slide out the key and gently ply with a flat screw driver on both side where it holds the key.

today is probably the 6th and last bid for those who bot during the 43k Coe. I rem some were asked to top up earlier for non gtd coe, anyone refuse to top up and TEK still did not manage to secure the coe for u either today or earlier? Did they offer open cat or tell u they will refund u the deposit?

usually how much RPM do you usually rev to start off from the traffic light?

I usually just hit 2k RPM and that's sufficient for me...

i usually step slowly.

don't want the rpm to rev up, make alot of noise.

my gear usually change at 2.2k from gear 1.

i never exceed 3k till today.

at 2500 mileage already.

The definition of weak is quite subjective. Depends on what is your previous ride.� [laugh]

�

Personally I rev at around 2k to 2.5k RPM and I think the power is sufficient.

Sent an email to book for my servicing next week.
Do you guys receive any confirmation after sending email? I do not receive any...

�

I sent my servicing booking email on last saturday night. They called me up yesterday afternoon (Wednesday) to arrange for the servicing today at 6pm. Was told that the 1k servicing has nothing major involved so might as well go after work since it will not take too long.

Your are right, I am compare with my previous Honda,

I hv tried rpm 2k, but feel like a snail. Worried other cars horn at me, so quickly rev till 2.5k to pickup. Haha....

For my lowly poor man's STANDARD 1.5L, 265. Depends on how many in the car most of the time. Recommended values are by the driver car door middle pillar.

16+km/L, pretty rev happy but 70% highway. FC during the first 1000 km wasn't as good though.

Battery- no idea, less than 0.5 year ownership

Very nice decal there axela525!

Some how it improved after the first few pumps.
Haven't hit my 5k servicing yet so it's still on the original oil.

That's quite high pressure for the tyre. will take a look at what is the manufacturer recommendation.

How abt washing the new car? your wash yourself or send to petrol station to wash. Afraid might get scratch if send to petrol station washing.

Yeah! In fact, the recommended are 280 front, 320 rear if u are always carrying 5 in the car.

I'm old school man. Just water and hands to molest the car hahaha. Probably not the best person to advise on detailing for sure haha. Plenty of the guys here done PPS.

I totally understand man. Took me a while to read the manual hahaha. The most complicated thing in my previous car was the radio.

AD bundles together front and back car camera Papago brand. Read the manual all in simplified Chinese. My Chinese already return to my teacher already.

�

Any review and comment abt this car camera brand? Anyone know how to take out the memory card. seems not so user friendly.

�

After driving a few days the new car, feel the car is quite heavy and the seat is quite low for driver. Otherwise the drive feel solid, stable and is nice looking car.

SD card is at the left hand side along the edge. U have to use your nails to poke the micro SD card before it pops out. I realised that once u remove it and play some files on the computer, it somehow messes with the overwriting function. Just make sure u copy out what u need and reformat it before re-inserting the microSD.

�

To me it's pretty ok for a free cam. 1080 front 720 rear. It's actually a decent brand according to my Taiwanese colleague.

�

The driver side seat height is adjustable even on the standard trim. Just keep tugging the lever at the side (the more forward one). [laugh]

im using thinkware too..

sometimes it has alot of events while parked..

but when i went to view the videos..nothing significant happened..

funny recorder......

but so far stil working even parked under hot sun..

i fried a few camera already so thinkware is definitely better in this aspect.

Hi . Anyon3 having issue when driving,the radio volume unstable? How to fix this?

Hi . Anyon3 having issue when driving,the radio volume unstable? How to fix this?

Did u set your ALC too high in the sound menu?

Some how it improved after the first few pumps.
Haven't hit my 5k servicing yet so it's still on the original oil.

A lot depends on your driving habit and traffic conditions.

Sad to say....no EO change on 5000km at AD... Got to wait till 10k than they will change..
Agree..it is up to how we control our acceleration, braking, traffic condition n check tyre pressure etc...
But still most important, Enjoy the drive =)

Guys i adjusted my tyre pressure to 230 and there's a huge difference between FC But comfort lvl not as comfortable.

Whats ALC?

Did u set your ALC too high in the sound menu?

�

Whats ALC?

�

the function that raises ur volume when ur car reaches higher speed(noisier environment)

dont see the option in the sound menu, maybe becos of the infotainment panel from TLW.�

I passed by their workshop and query, they say need to take out and check, which prob take about 2-3hrs, gonna send in tomorrow and see how....

So high, the FC will be severely affected lei. Also very bumpy. You got use till so high ma? I never ever pump above 240 at esso lol

ALC : auto level control. When you activate this feature, as you speed up the volume goes up to compensate for road noise.

�

I always thought higher than recommended�means better fuel consumption since lesser contact with road. Down side is less�road holding. On the other hand, under inflate equates to more contact with the road and higher FC but more grip. So higher it is, better FC.

�

I�just follow the recommended one, or at least try to since the recommended is a range. I now pump 265.

Yes, 1.5L on stock tyres. The recommended values are at the driver's door below the locking ring. Time to molest your car more hahaha

Anyone follows & hows the ride? �

Maybe those pressures....are actually the pressures used when most manufacturers conduct their FC test/claims.....amongst other controlled settings....lol.

look nice but the connecting grille and headlamps look like BMW's

Higher pressure = less contact on the road --> harder to accelerate to optimum speed. And also more air in your tyres that increase the tyre mass so acceleration affected. Hence should see higher FC in during acceleration but if better FC if u can keep driving at optimum speed later on. Safety wise, take note your wheels has less contact with the road, harder to slow down.

�

Lower pressure = better contact on the road --> more friction --> more energy loss due to heat and noise. So FC goes down generally. Try cycling with under-inflated tyres

�

Pump your tyres as recommended by Mazda is best lah

But in this case, Mz's recommendation appears to be radical, relative to the traditional set-up of other Jap/Kor BnB makes, FWD. �E.g., �with half load , F230, R 210. �Full load, F230, R230.�

Mazda 3 higher tyre pressure maybe got to do with it heavier kerb weight?

�

Mazda 3 basic model kerb weight~1339Kg

Toyota altis kerb weight~1175Kg

Nissan Sylphy kerb weight~~1205Kg

Kia K3 kerb weight~1293Kg

�

With a�heavier body weight to begin with, maybe that's why the recommended pressure for tyre needed for Mazda 3 are higher [nod]

Maybe those pressures....are actually the pressures used when most manufacturers conduct their FC test/claims.....amongst other controlled settings....lol.

�

Lol!� no wonder all the FC claim by car manufacturer are too good to be real :a-confused:

I always thought higher than recommended means better fuel consumption since lesser contact with road. Down side is less road holding. On the other hand, under inflate equates to more contact with the road and higher FC but more grip. So higher it is, better FC.

I just follow the recommended one, or at least try to since the recommended is a range. I now pump 265.

Ride and comfort is alright, sometimes it may be psychological or getting old liao

You are right. The high pressure is to compensate for the car weight and number of passengers. I always follow the Mazda recommendation cos by the next time u pump the tyre, the pressure will drop to 210-240 liao.. ha

Also take note that when you pump in air, the tires are hot and expanded.

wonder why Mazda 3 is so much heavier compare to other car, Take Nissan sylphy for example, heavier by 134kg,� similar to 13 packet of 10kg de rice lo.

Mazda 3 engine heavier?

The connecting grill to headlamp is the same as Mz 2

look nice but the connecting grille and headlamps look like BMW's

�

I thought ur is the 2.0? �The 215/45-18 �also reccomends the same pressures?

�

i haven check. later i see i tell u ok

Now I am even more impressed that Mazda can achieve such good FC with a heavier kerb weight

Jokes aside, while having tyres pumped rock hard will have lower rolling resistance; it may also lead to premature wear & tear on the other shock absorbing components upstream. �E.g., the suspension, engine mounting, etc.

Coz, the tyres itself does provide a level of cushioning from bumps & shocks. �Unless the manufacturer already did factor this in, for the entire set-up.�

is this latest FL?

�

the speedo is the same as mz2 but limiter at 180!?..

�

mz2 is at 220 :psychotic:
�

Ok bro i try again.. I find that at 230, highway is really good with FC but city driving not so...

�

I try 265 next pump thanks bro.

�

I am pumping 265 front, 285 rear (despite most of the time only 2 pax inside car). I'm taking the mid-point of the values stated on the door pillar.

�

Got 1 trip I'm travelling on PIE, CTE, TPE (at a tortoise speed of 70-80kph) and I managed to clock 4.0L/100km! That's my best record so far. Haha. How about you guys?

Axela is the name of mazda 3 in japan and china.

My experience on tyre pressure - 1st 3 mth on 260 and I realised the tyre wear mark is far away from arrow indicators on the tyre side. Then I tried 230 and feel this is just nice. Wear mark is nearer to the arrow indicators... overall more comfort and less bumpy ride.

�

If the wear mark is near to the side arrow indicator (for a new tyre), it means the tyre is under-inflated. That arrow is meant to indicate when you should change your tyre. Therefore for a new tyre, the wear mark should be far away from the arrow.

�

Read up more about tyre at this website... I find it very useful and informative.

It was 9+pm and the traffic was light. I intentionally travel slow to see how low the FC can go. Trying to set my personal record. LOL. Usually I travel at speed limit + 10 and can only get about 5.0L/100km. City driving will be around 7+.

Seems like a mix of standard and deluxe! Gt mazda connect but I think no HUD since its seems like the conventional speedo.

But there seems to be blind spot monitoring on this PI model.. yummmmm. Really good to have considerin our side mirror seems to nt provide a wide enough view.

AD one got auto door lock when inside car? can see beside the power window lock button got this auto door lock button which can set different patterns of auto door lock.

No autolock, that's the famous letdown in all mz3.

mz2 is at 220

The 180km/h is due to the fact that cars in japan are electronically limited to 180km/h. Take a peep at the Honda EuroR (JDM) speedometer - it shows 180km/h as the top speed as well.

On a separate note, if GarageR bring in the Mz3 in manual transmission I'll definitely be interested in 5 years

I be interested too.

The mz2 hb is mij. Not sure why speedo at 220 Liao.

All Mazdas sb Swee now

I meant to say cars produced for the japanese domestic market (JDM). Basically all PI buy directly from dealers in japan (meant for their local market) and self import to SG.

�

All the Mz (except Mz2 sedan) are made in japan but intended for the export/singapore market and hence aren't limited to 180km/h

�

Petrol head spotted! Maybe if we ask TEK enough... they might bring MT huh huh ...

Mazda 3 engine heavier?

Mz 3 has heavy frame which maybe the reason for the solid drive vs others.

Additional wt also comes from super capacitor iEloop istop system. The engineers already reduce wt from the sheet metal body.

No autolock, that's the famous letdown in all mz3.

Not only 3, 2 and 6 also

Axela JDM engine compression only 13:1, slightly less output (110hp) compared to AD mazda 3(120hp claimed).

�

But AD's claim of 120hp also very strange, as Mazda 2 1.5L is producing only 115hp, JDM Demio also only produces 115hp.

�

I have scoured the net and no other country apart from Turkey and SG has 1.5L skyactiv producing 120hp.

I believe it is to compete with Honda City which has the same output.�

The local Mz2 HB is MIJ but not JDM. It's meant for export that's what our ride is DJ2 instead of DJ3/5. Was discussing this with GR folks when talking about bringing in the HKS exhaust.

I be interested too.
