mycarforum: 2014 Mazda 3 part 61

After 6k km, im constantly getting 6.6l/km...

I wonder why some maz3 get only 12km/l..thats bad

�

Ya... Mine just reached 1K. Was rather consistently getting 6.7l/km as well... But then the listed FC of 5.7l/km seems almost impossible to get unless you travel like 80% highway... I wonder how did they get such figures... based on how many % on highway...

�

I am also wondering what color do i wanna paint. Lime green?

�

Thanks for the recommendation hee..

Nice!

Was the electric blue a Mazda 3 or Mazda2?

�

It was a sedan, so definitely a M3. I had to do a double take too. Same with the new M3s with M2-lookalike rims.

Just to compare driving styles:

�

Do you all rev off the line (2000+ to 3000rpm from the traffic light) then ease off once the speed has picked up (<2000rpm)? or do you go easy from the traffic light onwards? (<2000rpm) all the way.

�

I'm trying to figure out the most fuel efficient way to drive the Mazda 3. I drive at about 60% city and 40% highway (not expressway, more like viaducts). I get about 12-12.5km/l

�

I have very similar driving habits. Majority city, and almost always during peak hours, unfortunately.

�

I try not to rev >2000rpm too, unless people behind me impatient.

�

I've gotten everything from 12km/l to 14km/l, so I suppose yours is normal?

Maybe parallel import?

Today was at Mazda showroom but didn't see their colour template having any special blue.

�

ya that's why i was wondering too, have never seen it on the brochure.

Bro, my old car used to have light beige colour. It gives the cabin a more luxury and rommier feel.

But practically, its hard to maintain. It will turn dark after some time.

Not say no good for white interior, but to maintain is not easy.

�

i had seriously considered white too, because it looks nicer. but because mine is standard, and the leather is local, it would probably not be of such a good quality. all it takes would be a pair of jeans to ruin it over time.

Nice!

Thanx!!! It's metallic orange in case U're wondering.

If trip is mainly highway routes, i get about 4.1-5.5L/100KM...
If trip is city routes, I get about 7.1-8.5L/100KM.... On ave about 7.3L/100KM now...so can do the math on the hw:city %...

I don't understand why it has to be so stressful just to save a few tenths of dollars when the car cost 100k+....,, imo, ignore the fc numbers, drive the way you like and would drive to enjoy the car, if need to rev hard, go ahead but if want to cruise and enjoy the scenery, by all means cruise at slower speed .. in the end, fc amount different is not gonna be huge.. [grin]

Yes. Totally agree. Thats why now I toggled to avg speed and odo meter. Haha

Agreed with you on this too! However, it is still�a good habit to monitor your FC once in a while... a drop in FC for no apparent reason could be a warning sign...

Monitor is ok, but no point comparing with other 3 owner

Different route, Different driving style, Different load.... How can it be possibly to compare!

2hrs tops.

I tried to maintain <2000rpm but really very slow... i worry the car behind get impatient. So, I always end up reving off at around 2500-3000 rpm... My FC so far not fantastic cos i drive 95% city and short distances.�

�

What's the average FC you guys get? Want to know so that I can tell some "over-concerned" people who like to comment "You bought a Mazda???? Drink petrol right?????". it's quite annoying. It doesn't help when I dun have good statistics to show them. I can only safely say it's comparable to, if not better than my previous Honda Stream

�

Just tell these "overly concerned" people that your car is special, it is using liquified explosive dinosaurs. �That is why FC is so high. �

Actually, the FC of the new Mazdas are pretty decent. Especially when compared to the first and second gen Mazda 3s. Most people have hte misconception that the new models drink as much as the old (I did too) but in all honesty, we do get pretty good mileage from the 3rd gen.
�

collecting mine tomorrow! Excited!

Any tips on what to look out for?

Yes, fully agree. In fact the FC is awesome for this new model. At least 20% lower FC than my old Altis.

My old Altis is getting 12km/l in average. Now 3 is getting close to 15km/l. Its awesome!

A fren of mine recommended this Toughseal thingy, any one tried? Its much more afforadale den those ceramic pro. [laugh]

Just share some comparison performance data of Mzd 3 against some other entry-level models (that are available in Singapore) for those who may be interested (not flaming here )

Performance Data

Anyone out there knows of the estimated total cost for tyres and rims for a 225/45/18 configuration? Thanks!

The price varies a lot for the different rims and tyres chosen. Hard to give an estimate.

Bro, just sharing. Like bro dcb I also went for opti-shine ceramic 9h pps. I went ahead with 4 of my friends and gt a very special rate for it. Subsequently another of my friend went alone and was offered the same rate as us by piggybacking on our bulk. So if ya interested can go down mention my name and ask for the same offer. Or I can always help u tell the boss when I go for my next car wash. :)

I think his price is really competitive. Prob bro dcb and I may have got the same deal!

One of my friends who went with us was a 6 y/o mz6 and gt a flat same rate as us cos boss said easier this way! Two thumbs up for the boss. Haha

Same here, I also signed up for optishine package. Made arrangement to do the coating last sat but had to postpone because no car to do coating.

Good choice! Tbh I'm not really sure if the coat will last thru the warranty but John's service and attitude does make the difference. At least I know he will rectify and do touch ups for you whenever needed. And maintenance is reasonable too!

I got Birdshit bombarded last week and all easily gone with e few pieces of wet tissue!

I also think John's service and attitude made the package more worthwhile.

Love to see the water bead and flow off the ride.

How often do u go for the maintenance by John? He told me it's a diluted version of the coating solution. I agree that the price for the touch up aka maintenance is reasonable.

I was thinking 3 to 4 times a yr! Occasionally drop by for car wash. But his place is always packed so if in a rush better dun wash there.

Bro, once a year for the maintenance for the touch up is sufficient. Do a weekly wash and dry with the right clothes and your ride will be fine. Anyway the warranty is for 3 years.

I also think once a year maintenance is sufficient. I had PPS on my previous car and I could usually start to see some changes in the coating (reduced water beading, appearance of water marks, etc.) only when it was nearing 1 year. �

Of course no one is stopping you from doing 3-4 touch up sessions in a year� [:p]

Dear Bros and 1 Sis...

I collected my car just now. I am so happy, it's been a long long wait since 13 Aug.

It was last minute actually. I received an SMS by my SE that I can collect today and I rushed down after work. He was very nice, staying back late when the showroom has closed to handover.

The delay was because my omv is higher than normal deluxe sedans ($20,100+) hence the reason why my car got stuck at customs for 2 weeks. The other 5 cars that got stuck also got good news today. So the wait was worth it. I was also given some (ok, quite a lot actually) petrol vouchers as goodwill, very nice of him.

Will post pics soon... Think tonight can't sleep.

Ya... Mine just reached 1K. Was rather consistently getting 6.7l/km as well... But then the listed FC of 5.7l/km seems almost impossible to get unless you travel like 80% highway... I wonder how did they get such figures... based on how many % on highway...

btw, I am constantly getting 5.9 now because of my Yishun to Changi business park. So its all depends on express way vs traffic intensive route. My Altis previously gave around 12 -13 km/per litre so on comparison Mazda is still better from my experience. However, I just completed only 500kms.

No offence, but the old M2 sedan look like a squashed matchbox. Too tall, and small width. M2 look better as a hatchback.

I tried to maintain <2000rpm but really very slow... i worry the car behind get impatient. So, I always end up reving off at around 2500-3000 rpm... My FC so far not fantastic cos i drive 95% city and short distances.

Surprisingly, our FC based on the meter has been good. But we've only used 1/4 tank so far. It was initially 15km/L on day 1, and now it's hovering around 19/20km/L. But then, we only drove the car for about 5 days (60% city and 40% highway) before we went for our holiday and just started driving the car again yesterday. Will monitor and calculate manually when we pump again.

At full tank, it hardly moves. All bars are full.

Its well worth the wait.

It depends on how you pump I guess? Many pump attendants will pump beyond the auto-full so our full tank is usually fuller and may be filled beyond the full indicator. Once it passes the full tank mark, the tank empties normally so you'll feel that it empties faster. That's my observation, not sure if it's the same for you.

That's amazing FC. My Mz2 I'm only getting 15.6km/L

It's only for the first 1/4 tank and it's from car meter, may not be true reflection? Will monitor again when we pump next tank. And we only drove the car for 6 days even though we have the car for almost 2 weeks, so may not be true indicator.

My avg fc is 16KM/L. has anyone tried using the v power nitro plus. I find it giving the car slightly more power. But not sure if its a mental thing.

#001 - Plate relocator

First thing to do is to relocate the plate. Told the SE not to drill holes into the original spot which he did. He pasted a note in Chinese on it too. The double sided tape remnants still there unfortunately.

This batch of M3 tyres all come with Bridgestone:):)

Does anyone know what the ACL option on our audio settings does?

It's an automatic audio level control. The audio volume will increase as you accelerate to higher speed. The higher the level setting, the louder your audio volume will become when you speed up.

Btw any bro or sis knows how to turn off the radio? Spoken to another owner and seems both of us facing the same question.... Not mute or volume lowered to the lowest, but to off the radio completely and not running in the background. Thks!

From what I know, you can't turn it off completely. Only Mute.

to be precise it increases the volume of the stereo depending on how fast you're going, to compensate for ambient noise.

my dad say its more likely caused by sabotage. vehicle scratch not likely to cause this kind of scratch.

Some areas of the scratch look quite deep. Those need some kind of patching. The minor ones can be got rid of by rubbing compound. Bring your car to some paint workshops and see if they can help you with it.

Surprisingly, our FC based on the meter has been good. But we've only used 1/4 tank so far. It was initially 15km/L on day 1, and now it's hovering around 19/20km/L. But then, we only drove the car for about 5 days (60% city and 40% highway) before we went for our holiday and just started driving the car again yesterday. Will monitor and calculate manually when we pump again.

Hi all, so sorry, made a big boo boo. I read wrongly. What I thought was km/L is actually km/H. Not sure what AVG km/H means, must read the manual.
