Kung FC sa FD. Kung handling, sa 3.

Biased ako sa Honda, I'd choose the fd any time of the day. Expert advice? let's wait for others. Puro opinion lang ako. Though I heard this 1.8 engine of fd consumes like a 1.6. Pag long drive, I'd rather use the fd kesa sa vios namin. I "feel" na pareho lang gas expense ko sa fd and vios. Kase siguro puro iyak ang makina pag gamit ko vios.

I’d go with the Civic FD, specially the 2.0L model.

Tsk. Totga ko ito. Hirap maghanap nuon ng 2.0 na Manual. Was there such thing?

A Civic FD 2.0MT is quite rare on the used market. From 2006-2008, only 200 were released locally. With the FD refresh from 2009-2011, no more 2.0MT was offered due to low sales.

It’s as elusuve as a 6th gen Accord F23 5MT. Hehehe

If you want a good handling compact car with a powerful yet thrifty engine paired with an MT tranny, go look for a 2007-2008 Ford Focus HB 2.0L TDCi (turbo diesel) MT. Parts may be a problem but this platform is shared with the Mazda3 and Volvo C30.

You can buy already 2.0 Mazda3 BK first gen if your budget is for 2009 Honda Civic FD 1.8 due to resale value hindi sila parehas. Here’s my 2011 Mazda3 but sold only at 300k because nobody wants to get it at higher price. This is the only thing I don’t like about Mazda pag gusto mo na ibenta you’ll end-up selling it low price para mabenta lang.

Orangevirus tuned.
K&N intake.
Hotpipes headers.
Front & rear strut bar.
NOS.
Tein coilovers.

But now I ended up buying new Civic FC last year so I sold her na but it is a good car especially mine since it is well kept & properly maintained.

i prefer honda.

[dongotskills]

Handling - Mazda 3
Parts, resale value, easy to maintain - honda civic fd

Slightly thirsty yung Mazda MZR engine.

[Haiz]

I think mazda has better ride

[benchph1]

You can buy a Mazda 2.0 R at the price of a 1.8 civic because of its low resale value, but you will encounter the same problem when its your turn to sell it.

Generally problem free naman yung dalawa. No known major issues/recalls.

The civic has more pros than the mazda 3, only pros i could think of sa 3 is better handling & more exclusive.

Get the Honda Civic ... It's a better car overall ... Sure the Mazda 3 has great handling but at the expense of road noise and riding comfort compared to the Honda Civic ... Once the novelty of great handling wears off, you'll have to live with the short comings ...

The Civic FD is no slouch in terms of handling. The Mazda3 and Focus of that era may have an edge in terms of handling but the Civic FD is the more reliable car. The Civic FD is even better in terms of handling against the generation that replaced it, the FB.
