Lol this.

Some people just cannot accept this and would rather be miserable with it.

I can relate! Since i tend to pigeon hole myself into niche choices
(Just the sedan c segment like Mazda 3 is also one of many choices i [though, more like wife and family] made)

If you really Anshin their lifetime gearbox fluid, why not

Congratulations bro!

need.

added safety is always good.

you don't do, motorcycle can do.
safety isn't always about yourself.

/done preaching
enjoy your love

You could probably DIY A hood for that infotainment lol

and that's one of my pet peeves during my test drive. and i am strictly on the performance aspect since i am not a passenger sitting behind to worry about comfort.

it just doesn't trails intuitively especially during corner exit. turn ins i would rate the Mazda 3 being better over the Civic, but mid corner and corner exits, the Mazda 3 just falls short so badly

Can, my kapchai on SWE

Why keep pressing or adjusting the door panel button?

Last i tested the seats weren't too bad

IMHO what really bogged down that experience is the engine and transmission. (The drive train basically), and to an extent, the steering response (the feedback is good though) with the chassis in relation. The torsion beam is not doing it any favours and the car is not as responsive to rotate especially on slow turns.

The transmission is only good to people who die die cannot accept CVT. But efficiency wise, and especially driving sportingly, it's just really sluggish and not very intelligent.
That said however, the manual shifting is still OK OK. It's not ZF8 or DCT, but not as bad as it is when being left on automatic.

As for FC, coincidentally i just posted 19KM/L On another thread lol!

Ah so its not just me

Yeah, try claim warranty lol
