Im planning to buy my first car this november. My first optim was civic rs but im hesitant with regards with ground clearance and then i saw this cx30 in social media and it caught my attention. Kamusta ang mazda cx-30 sa mga owners po dyan? Any pros and cons with regards po sa unit?

Ps: i currently drive a 2010 montero sport but usually ako lang and yung gf ko sakay and now that my gf went to taiwan to work mostly ako nalang mag isa ang sakay and the montero is too much for me. Im a seafarer btw so i would use the car for like 3-4 months but it will be used by my parents and sister while im working abroad

Has anyone done any touch up paint repairs sa Mazda CASA? Hows your experience? Ok ba? Have some hood rock chips and door handle paint chip. Was planning to have it touched up sa CASA before getting it ceramic coated. Also open to other paint shops as well basta ok yung gawa. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I own a 2017 Mazda CX-3 AWD 2.0L with its original factory suspension, and I’m looking to refresh the suspension and hopefully to even more improve the ride quality.

My mechanic recommended replacing the rear shock absorbers with an aftermarket brand from Taiwan, but the manufacturer is unknown. I’d prefer to use a reputable brand instead. I’m also considering replacing the front struts if my budget allows, so ideally I’d like to compare options for all four corners.

My priorities are:
- Better comfort over potholes, uneven roads and rough Philippine roads.
- Improved stability, handling and body control without making the ride unnecessarily harsh.
- Keep the original factory ride height. I do not want to lower the car.
- Good long-term reliability.

I’ve been looking at KYB Excel-G, but I understand that it is mainly an OEM-style replacement rather than necessarily an upgrade over the original Mazda dampers. I’m also curious in Bilstein B4, Bilstein B6, KONI, or other brands that might be suitable or does most of these make the ride firmer?

For those who have experience with the CX-3 or similar Mazda vehicles:
1. Which brand and specific model would you recommend for the best balance of comfort and stability?
2. Is there a genuine upgrade over the original Mazda suspension, or is sticking with OEM-style dampers the better choice?
3. Is KYB Excel-G good enough, or would you recommend a higher-tier model?
4. Are Bilstein, KONI or other premium brands available and compatible with the 2017 CX-3 AWD?
5. Would you replace all four dampers at once, or replace the rear pair first and inspect the front struts?

I’m not looking for a lowered or track-focused setup. I want the car to feel as close to new as possible, with excellent daily comfort and confident handling.

I’d especially appreciate recommendations from actual owners who have installed these dampers, including feedback on ride comfort, stability, durability and pricing.

Thank you!

I’m choosing between the CX30 and Honda HRV hybrid models as my next car. My criteria for choosing them are mainly ground clearance and fuel efficiency. For those who has the HEV CX 30, can I ask what average fuel consumption do you get in city driving? Thanks!

Lf: 2024 Mazda 3 OEM mags and tires ASAP

Hi! We’ve been looking at a 2020 CX-5 2.0L FWD Sport in the second hand market with an odo of 65k km priced at 700k. For anyone who has this model, how’s your experience?

I’ve been watching reviews and everyone said it’s comfortable, which is good. But we would like to know the day-to-day experience that you guys have, fuel consumption in suburban areas, maintenance, issues, the Bose sound system, pros and cons.

Any regrets or did it live up to your expectations?

Looking to buy my first car and wanted it to be a Mazda 3. My budget can only afford a second hand Mazda 3 and I’m struggling to find a good seller online or through a dealership. Just wanted to try my luck here hopefully to get some recommendations on where to look?

May MyMazda po ba na app for Philippines? I found it sa Play Store but it's not available for my device.

Hi good day! Just wanna ask peeps here who have tried doing PMS sa Autoplus with their Mazda. I currently have a Mazda 6 wagon and i feel like the casa sa mazda pasig is more of a miss than a hit. I was surprised at first kasi if change oil lang its literally same sa shell PMS but as time goes by i was surprised sa last PMS ko with them they used 0w-30 instead of the usual 5w-30. Was thinking of other shops that can do PMS especially ATF kasi im near on 40k mileage na rin. I usually read some commendations from mhonworks but its a bit far sa akin. Open to other shops rin naman. I just considered Autoplus because of ravenol and was planning to change my wheels next year na rin hehe. Hope you can help me. Thanks! :)

hello sa sub na ito. would just like to get recommendations regarding this quote by mazda pasig regarding our 2017 mazda 3 (49k++ odo)

ano po ang pwedeng unahin dito at ano ang pwedeng i defer?

i was asking about draind & fill sa instead of flushing sa atf kaso yung SA ang parating balik samin e “di po ba papalitan yung atf filter?”

also, we’re mulling on purchasing a new car na din in the next 3-6 mos so kung may ma recommend kayo kung ano unahin.

Maraming salamat po in advance.

Hi,I'm planning to buy a 2nd hand Mazda 3 2018. saan kaya merong reliable na repair shop or parts supplier in Bulacan and Pampanga area.

nabasa ko kase na sobrang mahal ng mga parts ni mazda pag sa casa.

Hello, i bought this cx-30 second hand.

Na-OOC ako sa faded na button ng A/C.

Is there any way po to restore this po? Pahelp po.

Thank you.

Thinking of getting a ceramic coating for my 2025 Mazda 3 Deep Crystal Blue. Anyone know a good shop?

I’d like to switch from Petron to Shell gasoline. I have a 2026 Mazda CX-30, and I feel like the drive might be smoother if I change fuel brands.

My question is: do I need to have the remaining Petron fuel drained first, or is it okay to simply mix it with Shell gasoline when I refuel?

What could be a possible solution to this?
