Issues:
1. Rotors Replaced (40k php) after being refaced. I was at the casa regularly during this time; I didn't "skip a few PMSs" only to discover na ubos na yung rotors..
2. Brake pads replaced (10k php a pop) mga 3-4x already.

-- note -- I know the GS is a heavy car pero yung LC120 namin hindi pa inabot ng ganito, nor are the prices crazy for parts.

3. Fuel injector or pump something nagka problema resulting in limp mode, replaced for 30k a few months after the original 3 year warranty expired... Hindi covered sa +2 years na warranty.
4. Replaced front shocks and front suspension arm (we don't drive our cars this aggressively; yung ibang kotse namin bumibigay yung arms after 90k or 100k, but the local prices for parts are crazy)
5. Whining steering wheel - leaking rack and pinion, 70k php fix
6. Aircon nasira, nawalan ng lamig. Cost an arm and a leg to fix
7. some other minor issues that were either covered under warranty, or is too minor to mention

Not quite the equivalent of your Mazda, but compared to all our other jap cars (of which, the average age of those cars are older than this GS and with combined mileage of over 400,000KM), this one takes the cake sa after-warranty PHP outlay...

Hindi kaya kinakahoy ng casa ang parts mo? Gawain yan ng mga casa e

so almost same mileage as my gs. the only difference is my gs was regularly exercised at nlex-sctex and slex on long drives.

yung brakes and rotors palagay ko hataw then preno gawa mo like all the other guys in the gs thread who had to replace rotors and brakes even before 20k km. di mo lang aiguro pansin na hataw-preno ang driving habits mo. ako i replaced brake pads at 24k km ONLY BECAUSE i did not like the noisy oem pads, although malapit na din mapudpod yung front. no warping until i sold it.

you did all your repairs at the casa? i had my pads replaced at goodgear pasay, cost was not even close to 6k labor included. sa labas nababantayan mo kotse mo. sa casa pag natapat ka sa tropa ng mga tirador yari ka, laging sira tapos bebenta pa sa iyo yung pyesa na galing din sa kotse mo.

anyway, btt. on mazda 3, skyactive na din ba? if yes then i take back my reccomendation. bad trip ang skyactive as far as the owners i talked to at the casa were concerned. unless of course you have the skyactive disabled. mahal kasi yung battery. at starter.

Skyactiv ang Mazda 3 1.5 but yung sinasabi mo is iStop, which the 1.5 doesn't have.

Driver kasi yung gumagamit... PERO he does the same to our other cars... so it's still a car issue IMO. I use the brakes mga 60% less than he does... ;D

Re: Kahoy ng parts, this is perfectly possible, but this is over several casas, plus we don't leave the car there for extended periods of time, and not once have I had a problem with our jap cars...

Still falls under crazy cost of ownership and headache. Not getting another Hyundai hehe.

Anyway, BTT!

But do you leave your car? O tambay ka doon? May nakilala kasi ako na taga casa, pinapalitan daw nila ang nga brake pads at rotors. Pero yung ipapalit sayo di naman sobrang bulok. And then yung galing sayo, ipapalit na naman sa mas magandang piyesa. And so on. Hanggang sa brand new na ang hawak nila. Pati oil di nila nilalagay. Tinatago nila yung oil na binayaran mo. Although he's from a Japanese car brand

Iniiwan lang, no time to stay lalo minsan may pinapacheck kami under warranty.

Not possible, unless he somehow has found ways to bring in/out large items on foot, can swap parts by himself within the 1-2 hours per day he isn't supervised or is out on errands, without anything more than household tools, and has taken a liking for only Hyundai parts.

At this point, it's 100% either the car is bad or the casas (not just one) are bad. Pero all in all, it's not a very good ownership experience.

Ohhh.. medyo alanganin yung iniiwan lang. Very possible nga na kinakahoy. But we can only guess ano ba talaga
