Thread: Mazda 3 Skyactiv

Looks nice, mate.

You like black then?

the white defender behind it caught my eye.

I came out of a store and put my key in the wrong "boot", "trunk", there are way way too many white cars on the road right now. You just need someone to keep the black one clean and shiny.

this one does not have a key so that will not be a problem.

All your vehicles I've seen on here (I may not have seen them all) have been black...

The car I first purchased when I moved out here was silver.

I never saw it...

Best looking car out there at the moment!

Due to our association with Mazda Japan (They Co-finance our Mazda 2 Race Cars with Mazda Thailand) I have just been delivered a prototype Maz 3 bodykit from Japan (Knight Sports).

Not too bad but am not overly keen on the wing.











Also started on the doof doof.

^Looks much fvcking better now mate.

Replace the spare with a 22" subwoofer and it's all good

How old are you, Fondles?

Why ?

Is there an age limit on wanting to add some bottom end to a mediocre factory sound system that I spend 3 hours a day listening to (I like speed metal and dubstep, I need bass)?

But to answer your question, Iam over 40 hence the liking to keep the spare tyre. If I was in my 20's I would add the other 2 subs I have and say begone to the spare wheel.

Aussie 45. I think that's about 12 in human years.

That your old truck in the back ground

it is my truck yes.

I have the previous 2012 Mazda3 hatch with the 2.0L Skyactiv and find it brilliant. Mine's a stickshift, very nice shifter and clutch action. 30mpg in the city, 35+mpg highway (80mph with the air conditioning going full blast). I also race it in SCCA autocross "H Stock" class where it does very well. Mine has 35K miles on it and has been dead nuts reliable other than some warped brake discs, which are a wear maintenance item anyway. I think you will enjoy it.

I'd love a manual, fooks me why Mazda Thailand do not offer them.

Because the Thais struggle to drive an auto. God knows the havoc they would create with a manual.
