    Hi guys,

    This will be my first time buying a used car.

    I'm considering buying either a Mazda 323 '97 familia or a Honda Accord '96.

    The things most important for me are:

    1. Low Gas consumption
    2. Parts (inexpensive and easy to find)
    3. Considerable Power
    4. Reliability (solid body and high quality engine)
    5. Relatively easier/less expensive to modify

    Any comments on the 2 cars?

    Thanks!

    Familia.



    used to have one. as roomy as the Accord. relatively zoomy. hugs the curves.

    get a manual tranny. 1.6 GLX or Mazdaspeed versions if you're lucky.

    - i think sir ax30g is right pero baka po mas malakas sa gas ung accord. i'm not sure though.

    for modifications, it will probably depend na po sa inyo. I really dont know about their parts, but probably parts for both are easy to find na.

    Oo bro, nalaman ko rin na medyo malakas rin daw sa gas ang familia for a 1.6. Accord understood na malakas sa gas.

    Ang familia ba may carburetor type at may efi type? from 97 model pataas ata naka efi na, tama ba?

    salamat salamat

    thanks man. Leaning towards the familia rin e. A lot say that it is a little more powerful than other cars of its class. Is there a year model I should aim for? 95-99?

    Salamat sa advice tol. Based sa mga nakikita kong prices kasi, medyo malayo pa agwat sa presyo nang honda vti sa familia at sa accord e. So dito ako sa dalawang oto na to namimili. other than a honda esi and corolla big body, meron pa ba ibang fair choice with a similar price range ng accord at familia?

    The 1.6 models and above EFI na sila, except the base LX model na nila back in 1998 which is carburetor
