Mazda 3

i think VTi... even the S is a bit slow. but then, since the car so light, better to have lesser power. for civics, it is a worthwhile investment to slightly...

choppers SG

went to test drive the above... realise that the car has no power at all despite switching to manual and rev up at 2nd gear...quite disappointed. looks realli kill but in hokkien, nice look but not nice to eat... engine sound quite raw. sad to say... not sure if anyone here agree... Embarassed

switching to manual?? meaning that this car has tiptronic or steptronic? (or whatever u'll like to call it?)

have never read any writeups about this car ..... so, i need to ask this question Wink

choppers SG

when u rev means you floor the accelerator... therefore you should feel the power... civic is therefore a better option.. of course you got to pay a few Ks more as well loh... haha... sad to say

i called it tiptronic not sure if i am right.. correct me if i am wrong.. something like daytona u know.. ahaa... but car power slack for mazda 3..

but i must admit AGAIN that looks realli cover up all other flaw.. 1st time i feel like that for a car.. Shocked

pls heng... be more tactful in wat u say if not u're inviting trouble again.
IMO, the kelisa is quite responsive compared to other cars of its class like the charade, swift GL or maybe a march 1L.
doesnt mean u own a racing license and get to drive racing cars means other cars are not powerful.

how can u talk abt kelisa vs civic? shouldnt it be focus,corolla,civic,sunny,golf,307 ? Rolling Eyes

lets face it.
kelisa not meant for racing.
and revving high dun mean its a good thing.
wear n tear damn high, and takes longer to get there.
let me choose between a car with 150bhp @ 4000rpms and 150bhp @ 7500rpms, i'd take the 4000rpm one.

well i suppose the good AND bad about civics r they r too light. good meaning faster accel n better braking response. bad because in corners.... well i saw this black civic flip at orchard rd recently.

and i dun mean kelisa vs civic.
i mean kelisa revs high but lacks power. civic revs high but lacks power also

alright once again we are comparing a sporty sedan not a performance sedan.
so we are expecting Mazda3 to be a good handler driveability car not a happy high reving machine that run 0-100 in sub 8 sec or what.
Mazda 3 should turn in corner faster and comfortably compare to other car of the same class.
but sadly from the mag reviews the car turn in softer than 323.
hmm...i haven got the time to try the car yet.
cheers...

im expecting the Mazda 3 to be a damn good looker, and a decent car in doing the family run. wonder y ppl like cars that can rev a lot.

Goodeal SG

it is a damn good looker
it is a damn decent car in doing the family run
it is a damn good car.
but i prefer the Mazda2 with jap spec demio sport bodykit
that one is cool...real cool.

[email protected] SG

yeah. mazda 2's real cute!

i somehow feels the focus can corner better than the M3.
