Mazda3 Hatchback Remix

I still remember it when I try to convince my dad to buy a mazda3 sedan and ended-out him buying the hatchback in effort of my mom's taste on it. She just simply said, "I like it better because it looks cute". All hail to my mom! goodbye beyonce butt!Lolz. The new Toyota Altis was then a coming so we never considered it and decided between the civic and the M3. Volvo C30 is not an option since its outside budget.hehehe. Although Mazda3 has been in the market since 2004, it's different with the hatchback because it only came later around 2007 and now it has grown out a new face again.

For the compact car category the new MAZDA3 is beautiful, i mean Rachel McAdams beautiful! At par with Volvo's C30, and I can still see the Honda Civic 2009 at the back and a little further is the Toyota Altis. Out of my keen eyes are the Nissan Sentra, Kia Rio, and Hyundai Accent. I can't even start naming the china creeps!Lolz. Stay invi uglies! "louder" Lolz.

A closer "out" look suggests that what we have here may just be a huge facelift, the front and the back bumps to be exact. While the chassis and the body still looks similar to the old 3. The most noticeable are the front fascia lines ending in a subtle wedge-shaped hoodie. And the Nagare-inspired "adaptive front-lighting system" (first for the compact segment) in all ready self-leveling Bi-Xenon High-Intensity Discharge (HID) headlights. Nagare, which means flow in Japanese, is Mazda's infamous concept vehicle first seen at the 2006 LA International Auto Show. It has also grown a second tail giving a sporty dual exhaust outlests with chrome tits...i mean tips! Like the new 6, it is a few inch longer than the old model so it's a new model altogether.

Then we talk of the "in" look and as expected the new Mazda3 will not come in shortage. The already upscale cockpit is made more sporty rich with the addition of the BLUETOOTH technology. While the old audio system has been replaced by a 10 speaker BOSE centerpoint sorround audio a.k.a go holler with FloRida.hehehe. Another UP for this lovely is the "keyless entry and start system" which means you could have her up already while you're still brushing your teeth. While storage remains the same as the old.

Contrary to the "face-lift" suggestions, the new 3 now has a 2.5L DOHC 4-cylinder engine under its hood versus the old's 2.3 (also available is 1.8L). The new engine also offers an added 6-speed manual or a 5-speed sport automatic transmission with manual-shift mode (Techtronic System).

So that's it. If you're planning to buy a new car and is sighting for the Honda Civic or City or any of the running-old soon compact cars today, i might suggest holding those horses a little longer until these lovely beast reach our shores this year or early nest year. This is a new model that comes with the goodies!

She's coming! the all new HONDA CITY 2009

"Honda may now have the weapon to take on the all mighty Vios!"

The all-new face lift of the grumpy has already been unveiled, and it's making echoes around car enthusiasts already. Your first sighting of this compact sedan would definitely be the exterior style that gives it a radical departure from the previous model. It does feature some new visual elements that you'll also find on all other remodeled Honda cars. While the sharp butt makes it look more sporty although it does look like a reminiscent of the 3 series. Anyways, Honda obviously always try to be the BMW of the east. Now if you don't look at the details, and concentrate on the silhouette of the car especially the side profile, you’ll notice that its almost exactly like the current model civic. But who cares, their like siblings you know, of course at some part they should have resemblance. And I say she's a worthy little sister of the good looking Civic! I can't help it, judging cars is almost the same as judging girls. Look at the girls’ rear and front ‘bumpers’ first. :-)

Nonetheless, the new Honda City is based on the platform of the award winning new Honda Jazz, and benefits from the many of the technologies seen in the new hatchback. The longer wheel base gives a significant improvement in interior space as well as the associated ride and handling benefits. Safety performance is also enhanced with the adoption of the ACE Body Structure (Advanced Compatibility Engineering), which better protects occupants of both cars in the event of a collision between vehicles of different heights.

Unfortunately for those planning to buy, you have to wait a little longer since according to the sales agent that i talked to recently, the model will be available not until march 2009th. Although it is already available in countries like Thailand, China, Singapore, and Malaysia. Surely we could wait, it does look hot.

Almost 2 good 2B true!

"So well judged its almost wasted on the www generation......"







In a time when we have become accustomed to each new generation, being somewhat heavier and bigger, the MAZDA 2 is a pleasant surprise. Mazda has managed to give it almost all the bells and whistles one could wish for in B-segment vehicle. Or, in normal English, a car that competes in the segment where the Suzuki Swift and Toyota Yaris are big players.

I've always been a big fan of the Toyota Yaris, a car that mixes practicality and affordability with cute looks. But when i came accross Mazda site and discovered the little critter Mazda 2 i was able to compare the two side by side in the screen. And next to Mazda 2's fresh styling, the Yaris looks positively dated. the interior styling is also very fresh, with side mirrors that fold electrically, iPod jacks across the range, and satellite audio controls! And here's more keyless entry, auto aircon, rain sensing wipers and to top it is a "smart start" which means you can start the car with the keys in your pocket! But the Mazda 2 is a lot more than just nice to look at. the underpinnings "the mechanical stuffs" gives it class leading handling. The little critter's abilities bends over at 140 km/h with almost mind-boggling ease. And for status it claims 13.2 sec 0-100km/h run! superb for a B-segment vehicle and runs your fuel at only 5.9L every 100 km, that's super! And, erm, although its not yet locally available in the market. Prepare to see a lot of them on the roads early next year!

the swift SWIFT~

ME and my dad have been on a car hunting spree recently. HE comes home for vacation every other month and on those weeks i should say we atleast spent 30% of the time on car hunting. After heading to the suzuki showroom atleast two times already and one inquiry in ayala during the car show few weeks ago we finally mustered up to a decision for a test drive a day before he left for Africa. well that was actually after we test drive on the Toyota Yaris and Honda Jazz. Smug.

During the test drive around the city, the car exhibited exceptionally zippy handling. I havent tested the Mini but it sure was close to go-kart handling! Although it does exhibited more stable handling especially in curves compared to the Yaris and Jazz. The car has hardly a bad engine, it was fairly revvy and nice, but to be frank the power wasn't there at all maybe because its a 1.5 we had driven, im not sure with the 1.6 Sport version though. However the pricing of the sport version is just a little bit higher from the standard so if u want more power u should go for the sport. Fuel efficiency is not that good compared to the Yaris or the Jazz, a liter of high octane gasoline (95 or higher, the most expensive type of gasoline) could only run you upto 10km or less in city driving.For aesthetics the car itself doesnt look small up close - namely because it is tall but the interior is tiny. The boot especially is really tiny - much smaller than the Honda Jazz and the Yaris. I would place the boot to be the same size as the Mini-Cooper - which means really small. Suzuki provides a 2 level rear boot shelf though. Dont expect too much in terms of interior build quality - nearly everything is nasty hard plastic. The steering wheel, although ugly, feels pretty good plus its audio switches are just a thumb away while steering. For safety it offers dual airbags that could save its odd factors.

Nonethelss, I quite like the Swift the same way i like the Yaris and not quite with the JAzz. For a B-segment vehicle it's a good buy already... Unfortunately, because of the space it provides, it is great only as a service car for students or young professionals who dont have to mind for compulsory extra baggages. Best color for the car is pearl white where intricate little details and curves should be visible that makes the car more attractive.

Mazda3 Hatchback --- Stir your soul!

As i now start my unsolicited venture to blogging, I thought on what would be the best blog to cut my ribbon than starting with my own car!Lolz so here goes and read!

"COULD BE" the most powerful front-wheel drive in its class!"

I have been driving different cars since i was sixteen and i finally got my own hitch , the MAZDA 3 hatchback sports. Originally I opt for the sedan specifically white, but my buyer chose the buttless, goodbye Beyonce! Great! Quite unexcited until I drove her. and once I felt the raw and explosive power of the buttless chic, I understood why my dad choose the mazda 3 hatchback sports over the sedan. The technologically advanced "techtronic activematic transmission" for enhanced acceleration and ultimate driving pleasure would be a start for this fire-breather! The engine and tranny is in perfect sync together, very smooth. It's not "Porcshe fast" or anything like that but it has plenty of punch and is heck of fun while driving. The driving position is excellent, the seat's supportive, the engine's smooth and responsive and I read that it is one of the best designs on the road today. I really dont know!hehehe. The interior design is clean-sporty and very appealing. should i need to tell unexpectedly roomy!?Lolz. I've tested other vehicles in this category and none can match the smooth "zoom" of the engine, the sound is beating my ear drums real good! I had tried driving several times my ex-girlfriend's Honda Civic 2008 and yes i did compare, and I have to say the Mazda3 is a superior in most ways no offense to her.hahaha. While the steering and handling are far superior to any vehicle I have driven in its class, you can even drive in pinky finger!hahaha. It's already great in city driving and and what more in country driving which i sure experienced plenty "what the heck!" fun on turns! Who needs to go 0-60 in 5secs, 9.5 secs is fine with me and it does smoke a lot of 'those' cars already. I did my research on this car and I say it's a great buy. The body was designed by Volvo giving it a European feel & safety. The suspension was designed by Ford giving it the American sports car handling and the engine was designed by Mazda giving it the Japanese reliability. And yeah, fuel efficiency rate is on 7-8km/L for city driving and somehwere 10-11 km/L on country. Not so bad. So cool So zoom!
