Ah yes, tama ka bro. Sama mo na rin yung aircon and radio knobs. But to be fair those are really normal cosmetic wear and tear for painted plastic parts. Metallic spray paint lang katapat nyan.

Go with Honda. One factor, though hindi siya sa list ng tinitignan mo now, is yung resale value.

Looks like majority votes for honda, even me my vote is for honda bro. For me both are smooth cars but resale value honda is better.

Mas mahal parts ng Mazda as in. Sold them
Both na. To give an example.. Mazda3 gen2 shock absorber 17k plus each orig sa Honda FD shock absorber around 7k lng. Dunno why Mazda can’t do something about it to bring down the price of casa parts

Haha...I can only offer 1st hand ownership info. Never had the chance nor blessing to have the above choices. Let's give the floor here to experience, doc.
