shawn207 2nd Gear October 6, 2021 Share October 6, 2021 1 minute ago, KennethWong2021 said: @shawn207 I have had the car for 2 years already at around 17k mileage. Usually I pump it to around 250 to 260. Yeah I did read that Mazda cars have a more sporty drive which means a stiffer suspension. The car does feel quite solid though, like the doors, the bonnet, etc all feels heavy, thick and solid. Like for e.g. last time when I was washing my lancer, and I happen to rest my palm on the bonnet, it will sink in and pop up (if u know what I mean hahaha) …. Like very thin metal …. But overall, not complaining la ….. still love my car v much! I see I see, no worries just hoping to help. 17k mileage for 2 years quite low! I know what u mean for ur lancer cos I drove vios a long time ago and have the same issue 🤭 Enjoy ur drive! ↡ Advertisement 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is your years of driving, married status, .....These affect your risk profile I believe. I just tried to get a quote for hatchback. It cost the same as my sedan.

Mr_LTH 1st Gear October 22, 2021 Share October 22, 2021 (edited) On 10/4/2021 at 10:59 AM, Ingenius said: I am considering the Mazda 3. Any owners can kindly comment on the ride comfort from real world experience ? This is important for my family. Thanks. Late but I'm a Mazda 3 Elegance owner. Strengths: Exterior & interior design, interior materials used (soft touch), loads of safety features (I like the blind spot monitor & 360 degree camera the most), handling, confortable ride and good noise insulation. Weaknesses: Smaller rear leg room than it's competitors (Most of the time I drive alone so doesn't matter much for me), engine not that powerful & engine may sound strain when pushed since it's only 1.5L NA.

My ride to my workplace is mainly 70% highway and 30% city so my fuel consumption is pretty decent. I get an average of 15-17 km/L per trip. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drive for 2 months + not sure if I am reading the meter wrongly , just 10km+/l. But I really enjoy the car and all the safety features so much, no regret! Power wise I feel it is better than my previous car Kia 1.6 ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
