*baby shark we share the same color and variant and so with the FC (ave speed * 20kmh). Daily route - Tejero, Gen Trias to Macapagal Blvd thru cavitex/coastal (back and forth).

Curiously what wax/protectant are you applying in your M3?

I tried Mothers California Gold last December then applied 3M Synthetic Protectant 1st week of January. Mothers is good but 3M seems to stay longer even if I shampoo the M3 2x or 3x a week.....well at wifey’s order[emoji51][emoji12]

Guys, I'm very new to this thread. We (wife and I) are getting our first new car soon. We're having a debate which one to get, Honda City 1.5E CVT or Mazda 3 Skyactiv. I'm trying to check Google to see a detailed head to head comparison, pros-cons of these two but I can't find one. So I would like to ask you guys since you are car enthusiasts than I am, can you please help me out provide a good comparison? Personally, I like Mazda 3 more because of its look and that 3-year Free Maintenance hard to resist.

Considerations.
1. Which one is fuel efficient?
2. After the 3-yr Free Maintenance of Mazda, will it be more costly to maintain M3 over the City?

So basically help me give valid reasons why choose Mazda over Honda as I need to convince wifey. Lol

How Mazda made subtle changes on the Facelift to make it look even better was beyond expectations. Nice Ms there, sir![emoji106]

I know of BM series owners who wished Soul Red were offered on 1.5s. Patience always gets rewarded. Lucky you, sir![emoji4]
