    Both are dated and are about to be replaced. Why not wait for their replacement?

    Civic by year end or early next year.

    Mazda 3, depends on how Ford Phils. Either they will assemble it here or have it imported.

    The Civic is better but you might want to wait for the new model to come out.

    Honda Phil doesn't sell two door versions of the Civic here. If you want the 2-door, you will have to purchase your Civic from grey-market importers.

    My hunch is Ford APA (Asia Pacific and Africa) is having an internal struggle whether to produce it in Thailand (what they really want IMO) and the Philippines. Ang di na lang nila sure is what to do with the Sta. Rosa plant if ever they switch new MZ3 production in Thailand. The new MK3 Focus will be made in Thailand na so I assume we will have some job loses in Sta. Rosa once MK2 production is halted...

    Kaya di ako impressed sa 9th gen Civic. It looks too much like the 8th generation USDM Civic... The Coupe version of the 8th gen that is...

    I would prefer the Hyundai Elantra or the Ford Focus in the next gen of compact cars...

    The 9th gen is just a sharper FD

    FE kaya next chassis code niya? hehehehe.

    I prefer Hyundai Elantra. Lalabas na this year..

    Or Corolla Altis 1.6V A/T or 2.0V CVT-i A/T

    Yung gray market na Civic ay Si lang.

    2 million AFAIK.

    Willing to spend that much for a Civic Si Coupe?

    Paano system dun?

    Deed of sale lang ibibigay sa'yo. Safe naman pero walang Warranty.

    For 2M, Genesis Coupe nalang..

    IMO, Honda played it out too safe in the next-generation Civic. It's 90% similar to the current-generation Civic FD. As for the "ass" , it reminds me of the 2003 Honda Accord for some reason.

    I'll wait for the interior photos. I'm still amazed by my sister's Mazda 3 interior ever since 2005 and in comparing it with the Civic FD, would probably trump it if not for the crappy 2nd row seat space and its weight issues.

    Piece of advise, pag na-aastigan sila sa oto mo, wag kang magpapasikat. Just smile to them. To show na na-appreciate mo yung comment nila.
