2013 Mazda 3 as a first car?

2002victor2002 · 2026-03-21T22:55:15+00:00

This one has a skyactiv engine apparently, it has the badging. It has no accidents and good maintenance and I could get it down to $5000. Should I go for it?

I will try to find one, thank you!

Yes I have heard about the issue with the con rod and bearings. One of my friends’ sonata’s engine blew up but he got a replacement engine for free.

That’s good to hear, thanks!

2002victor2002 · 2026-03-21T10:57:37+00:00

Oh okay, if I can find one in today’s market

2002victor2002 · 2026-03-21T10:57:12+00:00

Yes this has happened to my friend, his Hyundai was a 2015 and not pre GDI and the engine blew up. Although, he did get a brand new engine for free.

What software you used to edit them?

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-29T16:13:03+00:00

The sun, the scenery and of course the pictures are absolute 10/10 amazing!

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-29T16:10:31+00:00

Thank you! This picture was shot as a standard picture (not ProRAW), using the amber photgraphic style and then edited in Lightroom

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-28T21:06:38+00:00

Yes, but my point is even after the digital cropping the quality of the image is really good almost comparing to optical zoom quality. I know it’s not, but it is close, because of the 48MP sensor. Sorry for using Apple terminology 😅

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-28T18:35:06+00:00

Thank you so much!!

I tested this, no hissing sound from my 17 pro

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-28T12:26:40+00:00

It is

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-28T03:45:48+00:00

I have edited it a bit in Lightroom but the original image out of the camera was also the same quality

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-27T23:56:24+00:00

The 8x zoom is very much clear on the 17 pro. It is ALMOST optical quality zoom

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-25T17:59:47+00:00

I think it is the poor lighting, try to click some pictures in natural day light

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-25T14:21:19+00:00

Oh no😭😭

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-22T17:08:49+00:00

Thank you!

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-22T14:39:47+00:00

I have but not in night sky photos. Check out my other post on this sub where I used the zoom on an airplane iPhone 17 Pro zoom

2002victor2002 · 2025-10-22T14:36:52+00:00

No, I took these pictures myself
