    Re: Anyone getting great MPG with the 2012 Skyactiv 3?

    I stop at the click. It may be better for getting the same amount of fuel into the tank every time and so help the accuracy of your mpg calculations, although I've heard there can be a bit of...

    Re: Anyone getting great MPG with the 2012 Skyactiv 3?

    Unfortunately, the number of kilometers showing after the fuel gauge drops one bar is more a function of how much the tank the filled rather than the mileage the car is getting. If you overfill the...

    I actually have done all my driving in the spring and summer. Haven't had the car for a winter yet. But you're right, Hisakix, about driving conditions. That's why a single result is fairly...

    Re: Splash Guards

    Talked with my Mazda dealer about them and I've decided to do without. I think they'll look goofy in the back and in the front they're likely to drag in snow. Don't need that.

    Re: **For Future owners** 2.0L MZR vs 2.0L SkyActiv

    The Mazda3 is far more powerful than the Honda Fit. Passing with the Fit was always suspensful, gas pedal pushed hard against the floor and hoping for the best. With the 3 it's just a touch of the...

    The Mazda3 makes number 4 on Torquenews' selection of the 10 coolest cars of 2012. Should be number 1 in my opinion. Bizarre choices for the top 3.

    My last fill up (today) I hit 5.35 litres per 100 (52.8 mpg). My second best - a few weeks ago I hit 5.25). My average mpg for the last 6 fill ups is 5.9 litres per 100 (48 mpg) so it's getting...

    Good review. The Skyactiv version comes with a black lip and I prefer its black interior to the grey in the model you're writing about. Also the "what-is-usually-an-ashtray" storage compartment...

    Re: **For Future owners** 2.0L MZR vs 2.0L SkyActiv

    My automatic Skyactiv hatch revs at about 1800 at 100 kph. I have to get up close to 110 to get over 2000. I don't notice a lack of power but maybe that's because I'm coming from a Honda Fit. ...

    Re: Anyone getting great MPG with the 2012 Skyactiv 3?

    It looks to me as if the Skyactiv isn't fully broken in and giving the best mileage until it gets over 4,000 kilometers. I'm over 4,000 now and my last two fillups have been 5.25 litres/100 and 6.1...
