pinto22sg 2nd Gear August 5, 2019 Share August 5, 2019 (edited) Why is the Mazda 3 called the mid hybrid, does it stand for anything tangible ? It looks it has a rather long bonnet, which should make it not nice to drive, e.g. have to turn steering wheel early when turning.

Conan86 1st Gear August 5, 2019 Share August 5, 2019 Why is the Mazda 3 called the mid hybrid, does it stand for anything tangible ? It looks it has a rather long bonnet, which should make it not nice to drive, e.g. have to turn steering wheel early when turning. It is called mild hybrid because there really is an electric motor which draws power from a lithium battery to power the car when it is at a stop and other low power functions. It is not considered a hybrid because the electric motor is not powerful enough to contribute much in fuel saving or power the car in low speed unlike true hybrid cars. The long bonnet doesn’t make it unpleasant to drive in any way. Do test drive it before you come to any opinion or conclusion.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks it has a rather long bonnet, which should make it not nice to drive, e.g. have to turn steering wheel early when turning. maybe if u compare to altis or cerato, ya, its bonnet is longer but i think civic's bonnet is equally long. i doubt it will affect the the driving experience much cos mz3 is still a relatively small car. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisbosco 3rd Gear August 6, 2019 Share August 6, 2019 It looks it has a rather long bonnet, which should make it not nice to drive, e.g. have to turn steering wheel early when turning. on the contrary. the long bonnet makes it easier to drive. better handling capabilities as there's much more balance.. with a short rear..

Rickster 5th Gear August 9, 2019 Share August 9, 2019 Thx. Also I heard their servicing is expensive. Fortunately they have option of 5 yr servicing and warranty with 3K top up. The maintenance cost for long run should be high due to high tech...Seems like most of the AD servicing charges are similar for the same class of cars. Don't think Mazda will be charging head n shoulders above others. Can always check with the SE the maintenance cost at various mileage to confirm. I saw Mz3 with 2L in Malaysia. Look and feel very close to German Due to our Coe, we often have the smallest/most underpowered engined option for most of our cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contented 1st Gear August 9, 2019 Share August 9, 2019 Is there anyone who bid on wed and AD did not secure your coe? I remember the sales told me last week very likely will secure coe without guarantee bid. There is a top up of 3k to extend warranty and servicing to 5 years. Should go for it . ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
