The 1.5 though looks very basic. Super liit ng rims, and definitely needs the rear ducktail for the sedan.

And ang pangit talaga ng digital tach. Unfortunately this can't be remedied with after-market parts.

it does need some getting used to, mas namomonitor ko revs ko kapag analogue na tach kesa digital, pero majority rin kasi ng mga high end cars moving to digital instrument clusters so eventually lahat masasanay rin

The last car to have a digital tach was the 1st gen Vios 1.5 and no matter how many times I drove it, I never got used to it.

Analog tach with digital speedo readout is the way to go IMO, not the other way around.

just a question mga co m3 1.5 users. i drove from balintawak to san fernando NLEX and minonitor ko tlga ng maigi yung fuel consumption nya. accurate po b yun? i drove a constant 60-70 kph and average for tha tdrive is 4.2L/100km. so computation ko nasa 42 kms per 1 liter. is that accurate? tho 2 bars lng nabawasan sa fuel level meter.

23km/l

this is normal for highway driving. the trip computer is somewhat accurate.

How to change display to km / liter?

Off topic question here. Has anyone changed their horns? The stock sounds pathetic. I tried having it replaced but had to back out when the installer said they had to pull the bumper.

100km/4.2L = 23.8kpl lang sir.

a more accurate measure would be to do the full tank method

Magtatanong lang kung nagpa rust proofing kayo after released from dealer or the stock is still good for one year. Any better paint shop aside from ziebart.

the stock rustproofing should be good enough to last several years. hindi rin naman lahat ng nagpaparustproofing ule pagkalabas ng casa so hindi naman siguro lahat sila kakalawangin kagad ang ilalim after lang masugod sa baha

question guys, napapansin ko kapag dahan dahan kong inaangat yung brakes naririnig ko creaking sounds, yung mazda 3 na 2011 rin ng kaibigan ko ganon although mas malakas yung kanya. yung sa fiesta naman namin hindi. normal lang ba to sa mga mazda units?
