Doi Thong Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 I saw the Mazda 3 in last Auto show and was impressed, especially with iner design. The 4 door version in red/white or black look gorgeous. Anyone bought this car recently? Please share your experince starting from financing and to performance, thanks in advance.

Tingnongnoi Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 I have the 5 door version no complaints performance wise, the only gripe I would have would be the long wait of 4 months to actually get the car after ordering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does not help in the case of spare parts needs or delivery management of the cars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally told 4 months and when 4 months was up told at east another 2 but ended up going for a different colour model that was available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please share your experince starting from financing and to performance, thanks in advance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi I just bought a 4 door Mazda 3 R S/R (2.0) in blue (best colour in my opinion..very racy )from Mazda City Lumpini. I got it on finance 50% down through GE Capital, no need for thai guarantor. Placed order 2nd week of November, car arrived 2nd week december after some pushing for confirmed delivery date etc etc. Overall service pretty good, better than expected.......just have to keep on there backs for the delivery date. Quite hard to get lots of extras thrown in for free though.....and impossible for discount (tried at 3 differant garages before settling to buy from lumpini).
