		<description>White ones sell like hot cakes cos the owners are openly admitting that their M3s are small. I am an interior designer and colours create impressions of space and mood.  But I always wonder why buy white colour cars when you don&#039;t maintain it?  most white cars on the road, esp Mazdas are starting to yellow or grey from lazy owners who do not do any detailing (minimum - wash car 1x a week).</description>

		<description>The fact that you chose white for your M3 is an open admission that your car is small and therefore u had to select a colour that will make it look bigger.  you have an inferiority complex, mate</description>

		<description>Bro...You&#039;re right..resale value is probably the least concern if a person is into cars. I guess if anyone wants a good return then go for properties. Thats what I had in mind when I booked this beauty. I didn&#039;t care abt the resale value nor did I care abt the cabin size coz to me this is what I wanted. And I do beg to differ from some ppl who think the M3 cabin is small. I have friends who are 6 footers and they said its actually very comfortable sitting at the back. Anyway guess for those who are into wider/longer cabin then M6/camry/accord would be the preffered choice. If wan bigger go for mpv&#039;s. 
Bro I wish u able to own the M3 soon. Its indeed a much better car to drive than Civic(my sis ownes a 1.8) and an Altis(my partner&#039;s previous car) therefore I can compare M3 with T and H. 
Happy National Day to all... folks</description>

		<description>Official price for mazda 3 sedan around 132k...
To me that&#039;s not cheap but considering the amount of technology this car has, its certainly worth it.

I had a first hand look at the steering wheel, and i felt like a pilot in a fighter jet, choke full of controls. Compare that to the likes of T and H and immediately they are put to shame.

That bought me over even without a test drive, the M3 is certainly at the top of my shopping list in the near future.

Ps- i am the least worried about resale value as I intend to use the car for as long as i can. With this much tech it will never be a boring drive!</description>

		<description>Needed a car mainly for city driving and to school. Wife and I tested both civic and Mazda 3 twice and we choose M3 as we both felt the drive and NVH was much better. Only thing it was a bid crampy but  the seats were more comfy than civic. Both cars are not sports car and one should drive and test the car as what it was meant for.  Of course if you need more space go for civic. If you want speed and handling consider golf gti. Two of my friends also have similar views and now happily driving Mazda 3. No regrets.</description>

		<description>lol...mine is white bro...But here in SG I see more graphite and silver than white compared to KL so its ok to drive a white here.  Infact when I asked for the colours availability white has the most left in stock. SE says silver and graphite are very popular. Anyway I&#039;ll just get whichever i feel comfortable and happy with lol. But am just afraid of the colour maintenance. Did you put any coating to protect the paint? Bro..my car now 430km an still have 2 squares available. The indicator shows 8.6l/100km which I think is very good for a 2.0l comparing to the 320i which is about 10l/100km. But guess thats the dif between jpn and conti cars.</description>

		<description>Good review...I feel the same too...just that I havent had the proper opportunity to ride it to my hearts content. Its indeed powerful....consumption, I still feel its a bit on the high side...450km++ for a full tank...that doesnt sound very good....of course its still new...just reached the 1200m mark....i think actual consumption can be determined b4 its 5000km? I hope ? :)......

Please tell me yours isnt another white M3! Cus mine is and ive been seeing a handful lately....i really love the red...but white&#039;s my lucky color...had to stick to it.</description>

		<description>Received my M3 2.0L since Mon. Seriously...This car rocks!! Have been zooming ard the city to test for any faults...Verdict: Nil..Very glad its fault free. Fuel consumption avg at 8.6l/100km. (highway driving mostly). Performance: This car is very responsive. Tekan abit the car speeds effortless. And it does it very silently. Very impressive. At 90kmh the noise level in the cabin is still very low. No issues at all. Although the performance on paper is below Lancer 2.0 or Civic 2.0 I think the performance of the M3 is compensated by the lighter kerb weight it has. Its indeed a very powerful car and very fun to drive. Anyway it was fun reading all the postings here. Am glad I test drove this beauty.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Received my M3 2.0L since Mon. Seriously&#8230;This car rocks!! Have been zooming ard the city to test for any faults&#8230;Verdict: Nil..Very glad its fault free. Fuel consumption avg at 8.6l/100km. (highway driving mostly). Performance: This car is very responsive. Tekan abit the car speeds effortless. And it does it very silently. Very impressive. At 90kmh the noise level in the cabin is still very low. No issues at all.

		<description>I have the aluminum silver and it rocks! Still turns heads everywhere I go, even after owning it for a year. Very different from other silvers - mine looks like the type you find on much more expensive type of sports cars. White is ok but I find it too &quot;Manga&quot; and common in Malaysia...</description>

		<description>Oh by the way, Fifth Gear felt that Mazda3 build quality is slightly better than the Ford Focus. Just for comparison&#039;s sake.</description>

		<description>The Mazda3 is a budget car in Japan and in Western countries. Small, cheap, fun to drive. It&#039;s not intended to be anything else.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve just booked mine here in singapore...Ready to deliver sometime next week. Notice from the specs here in sin the M3 2.0 comes with traction control. But from Paul&#039;s review its says no traction control. And its keyless(smartkey) entry too. Anyway I test drove the 2.0L in KL(Old Klang Road-last year) and here in SG(Alexandra).
 I dun feel any performance issues. The pick up was smooth and I dun feel much drag. I also noticed the gear shifts nicely when stepping on the gas pedal. Very responsive. No issue with the car jerking when changing gears. And there isn&#039;t any loud roaring during acceleration. Very quiet throughout my test drive session. 
Interior wise am ok with it. Not to say it looks fantastic but its indeed way above average. It doesn&#039;t look and feel cheap. The 2.0L version comes with full sports leather seats. Pedal shifters are easy to use. Up/Down on both sides so it makes driving with 1 hand very easy. 
Exterior wise the 2.0L comes with full sports kit unlike the 1.6L. The design actually caught my attention to test drive it. Anyway can&#039;t wait for my drive to be delivered. Very happy with my purchase.  Had a tough time deciding on Graphite or Crystal pearl white...In the end there are too many Graphite and Silver on SG road so picked the white.</description>
