2010 Mazda 3 rpm

[Wincar]

oh i love m3

Yup u dont have to worry about revving the car. When I first collected it, I was revving at 4.5k rpm for the first gear and cruising at 110-120km/h. Haha.

Just make sure u dont maintain the same rpm for too long or redline it before u change to synthetic oil, which is 10,000km. U will be fine

old 1.6 to new 1.6 no difference la... only exterior is significantly difference. engine is the same, interior is largely the same... no point

 

They did some slight modifications to the new 3.

Like the air intake system, better aero dynamics(5 point grill) and low speed cam timing to improve the low end torque.

Chassis is also strengthen for better stability.

Steering feedback is even better for the new 3 adapting the new EHPAS (Electro-hydraulic Power Assist Steering)

Though the modifications is slight but it can be felt.

My friend drove m3 2.0 and she told me the rev did not go as high as 3k rpm cos 2.0 more power car no need rev till so high to change gear.

I am driving Madza 3 now and I am fine with it because my previous car is the same.

 

During your 1st 2 gear acceleration, you just have to take it easy and go slow, from 2nd to 3rd, it will be smooth and the RPM should not be that high anymore. Like what the others said, its body is heavier hence if you want a fast pick up, going to 3000 - 4000 rpm is normal. :)

My old Mazda 323 also did 100km/h in 2800 rpm...due to 'just' a 4 speed Auto.

Any 2010 Mazda 3 owners encounter CEL code 2096 before?

Hear that it might be PCM issue and need to be updated
