Hi there,

Nice site you have here. I'm from Singapore. The 3 will only be coming in on the first half of next year. My current ride is a Hyundai. Thought the 3 looks good so just drop in to see what your guys have done to your 3. Just getting some ideas.

Cheers,
Hogster

 

[dinu01]

Nothing yet since it's not released here either.

Hi people I'm from Singapore too. I'm also nuts about this car and will be getting one once it is release.

 

[atl]

Welcome aboard.

 

[hogster75]

Thanks, when will you guys be getting the car? I believe we'll only be getting the 1.5l engine for the 3 in Singapore. The 2 and 2.3l is for the 6 which is on sale for sometime already.

Cheers.

By the way, my dealer just called and she told me that the first shipment will arrive here in Feb 2004.

 

[hogster75]

Hope it will be worth the wait.

helo guys,

i am from singapore too. I heard fr the dealer that they will only bring in the 1.4 M & 1.6 A. And expect the 1.6 A to be more abt SIN $80~85k. :shock: I think its a bit too high .... agreed ?

Anyway, the New Renault Megane II 1.6A is price SIN $86k, i think its crazy....

hence we better wait for all the new models to roll and price to settle down b4 paying any $$$ commitment. ie. New Nissan Sunny-based on Renault Megane II (2004) platform.

I will say all 1.6A to be about $78k will be a reasonable price.

comments ?

There are many many speculation in spore currently, what i heard is they will bring in 1.5L and 1.6L... and can u believe the 1.5L have more horses than 1.6L!!!
$80-85K is definitely too high, I know Megane II is very value for $$$ but i dun like Renault car... :?
We just have to wait for the official release of M3 here before we know whether is it worth the 80+K... who know they may throw in every single option... like HID, moonroof, 17 inch sport rim........... :wink:

 

[sengkt]

HI, I totally agree with cya. $80-85 k looks okay if it is fully loaded with all the goodies. I would personally like to have my new Mazda3 with the following :-
17" sports rim
Leather seats
Automatic climate control
Radio control from stearing wheel
Sports version with orginal factory fitted body kit
Carbon fiber dash
Full boss sound system with 7 speakers
Speedometer with red/blue display..

And my new mazda 3 will be winning blue in color

 

[atl]

Thank god those are not US dollars.

 

[cya]

ATL,
Yup, it's not in US dollars but if convert to US dollar it will still cost abt US$47K!!! and dun forget it's just a 1.5 or 1.6 car... :shock:

sengkt,
if ur "likes" really happen, i think it will be a >100K car ...
We have same taste, i like the winning blue color as well... u going for hatch or sedan?

 

[mtoh]

I think MZ3 wif full-specs on, it wouldnt be 100k .... unless its a 2 litre variant.

As for the Megane II, though it has lots of gadgets, i still dont think its worth 86k, now i heard they have just revise 3k upwards !! Again, Renault is still brand below VW, Ford, Peugeot by many locals (SIN). With price close to 90k, its crazy ! If not for the bullish stock market now :lol: , who would pay such $$, Mad ! :shock:

I rather pay another 10k for a 2 litre car, like MZ6.... Let hope the local MZ distributor will be more down to earth, manufactuer upgrade their quality dosent mean they have to rip us off. If not, how is MZ going to win market share from other domainting brands ?!!

Afterall Toyota, Honda & Nissan have makes high quality cum value for $$ cars as well.. :wink:

 

[sengkt]

cya,

 

[sengkt]

cya,

I'll be getting the sedan version.

Well I can forsee that cars prices will be going up as is is the usual trend that during Jan/Feb it is usually the HOT peroid where people are getting new cars before Chinese New Year . Incidentally, Mitsubishi had also revise the Lancer up by 1 K these 2 days. it is Priced at 77K++ as compared to 74k++ just 2 month's back.

 

[cya]

it's a bit tough choice for me as sedan and hatch look as good, think i have to see in person to decide... :wink:
i heard the price went up cause of the higher yen...
my guess will be it will be available for booking before CNY but on the road after CNY... so should not crash with the CNY crowd...
anyway i may get the M6 if the price of M3 really hit 85K...

 

[sengkt]

If given a choice, I would still prefer a fully loaded MZ3 than a MZ6, 2.0 as the advertised price for the MZ6, 2.0 comes in the most basic version. I've just checked with my dealer and was informed that the body kit would cost around 4K plus including a 17" rim fitted, furthermore there's NO auto climate control/stearing with audio/cruise control etc etc. That explains why the great price different between the 2.0 and 2.3 version.
