I can't comment on which is better Axela or Mazda 3 since I dont know anyone who uses these cars. 17" wheels are not practical on our roads IMO. Since the air cusion is low the suspension will have a tough time on our sh*t roads. On the note of resale value, Mazda is catching up on Toyota, Nissan. I went to the agents in June to finalize the import of a Mazda 3. the service was pretty good. last few years they had problems with lack of parts but now they seems to have figured things out.

nice car mate. it's different from the one available here in SL. can u post some interior pics?

hey, here're some pics from da show.

you can buy the 1.6L for around 2.8 mil. It's a very nice car, new features like digital speedometer, fuel, temp gages.

should be good. looking forward to it.

yeah, I have to talk to the agents and see. If I can clarify the import issue, I think i'll go for the M3, it's the best car for my budget.

thanks for the info mate. you're right, the M3 is made for the international market. the problem is where? I'd better clarify this with the agents. On fuel consumption, i'd be happy if it does 9-10 in colombo. thanks again.

thanks for the info guys. I checked the Axela thread, and now I'm worried abt M3 being made in thailand. I got a quotation from the agents and they say it's imported from japan. I've always been a big fan of toyota and nissan. but I went to see the M3 and I really liked the car.

Hi guys, Is there anyone in here owning a 2007 Mazda 3 bought from the agents. I have a permit and I'm hopeing to bring down a 3. I'd like to know the experience of owning a 3, fuel consumption, maintenance costs, repairs etc. thanks

are they 2007 models?
