    Guys, I currently have 2 options to buy. Which one do you think is better and why? 1993 Honda ESI or the 1997 Mazda 323?

    Your choices aren't exactly the class leaders during their time, but they're still good cars and will not make you sad. If you decide to get the ESi, make sure that the roof and fenders have no rust, since a lot of cars like this are prone to it. The 323 has a sporty chassis that rewards the driver more like the Lynx, but isn't one of the most efficient cars in its category. Spare parts are also more expensive and not as easy to find.

    my vote goes to the 323. if you're gonna get the esi though, yeah, check for rust, 1993 pa pala siya.

    Bro, im also on the look out for a used mazda familia, 2nd car. But im looking for the last model released locally, i currently have a 98 Famila GL (1300cc). I suggest you get the Mazda Familia, as for the parts and maintenance a lot of MAZDA owners can help you at Protege Tech - www.protegetech.org like me.

    For me eto hanap ko Mazda Familia 98/99 GLXi (1.6/MT) (im looking for the flying logo).

    Nde na naman nag kakalayo ang pricing nang 97 at 98, usually 170t to 200t. Lately, may nag bebenta nang Mazdaspeed 97 * 200t sa PTP, baka ure interested. Good deal na iyon.

    Goodluck!

    323 is practical car for me. parts is cheap and easy to find. matibay pa ilalim. cool aircon at maganda rin pormahan

    go for the mazda. mas malakas lang sa gas pero mas bago pa naman... inspect both carefully. it all boils down to the present condition of the car.

1993 Honda ESI vs. 1997 Mazda 323
