Subaru XV 2017 vs Mazda CX3 2017

[jannmunion]

Hello! Tho di affrcted ang Mazda sa excise tax, but were planning on buying a crossover befire this year ends. Would like to ask for your opinions

Concerns:
1) both are gas, so medyo my dad is not okay with this + 2.0l.
2) Subaru maintenance (idk if its true) is expensive but what im sure is the parts are very expensive especially the cvt fluid
3) mazda only has around 150mm ground clearance tho enticing ang PMS. D ko lang alam ang parts na gagastohin if ever
4) i thnk mas long term ang subbie? Esp sa safety and durability + may xmode pa


Any suggestions are really appreciated. Thank you po!!

With the prices of such models, it is more practical to buy a Subaru Forester or Mazda CX5.

Sir jannmuion,

In reality, kung gas engine talaga, necessity yan, talagang gagastos ka dahil yan ang maintenance mo sa for everyday driving
ang very good advantage naman, less complicated ito pag dating sa PMS.. at major breakdown, unlike sa diesel, matipid sa krudo, pero once na merong certain part(s) ang nagkaroon ng breakdown, complicated at mas magastos..


layman's term.. sa CP, kung Prepaid.. Gas Engine, pag Plan.. Diesel.

Maintenance, PMS, unexpected breakdown/damage(s), engine, brakes/hydraulics/under-chassis/tires/electrical/body/interior,

gastos talaga yan, at yan po ang reality,

di baleng gumastos ng maintenance related sa safety ng sasakyan... good and long term effect naman, kahit saan pumunta, never magkakaroon ng aberya..

Sir Egan 101,

Sir MR_BIG18,

Depende po talaga sa choice ng owner, kung ano po ba ang personal choice at preference pag dating sa sasakyan,

hindi naman po lahat, talagang yung owner mismo yung nagmamaneho, yung iba, merong personal driver..

What do you mean advanced model? The XV over the Forester? The XV uses the same engine and tranny as the Forester NA model. The Forester just offers more internal and cargo space.

Hello! Tho di affrcted ang Mazda sa excise tax,

Can i ask why Mazda units won't be affected by the Excise Tax?

I will choose the subaru XV than the Mazda cx3. since mazda released the CX-3 i barely see any on the road. But the subaru XV i see a lot of them everywhere.

Mazda is moving PH-destined CX-5 production to Malaysia to take advantage of the zero tariffs from AFTA: Mazda Moves Production of Philippine-Market CX-5 to Malaysia; Makes It Immune to Excise Tax Increase | ************ - Philippine Car News, Car Reviews, Car Features, Car Buyer's Guide and Car Prices.

The CX-3 is small on the inside. The front row seats are great but the passengers in the rear will feel claustrophobic. You get 3 years of free PMS though.

The Skyactiv 2.0 6AT feels quicker than the 2.0 boxer CVT. Heck my 1.5 Mazda 3 feels quicker than the XV.

The XV has better sight lines, a bigger interior, and a taller ride height. Those are the major reasons why my wife chose the XV.

Go and test drive.

The XV and Forester 2.0L NA (CVT) are not comparable to Subie's turbo models in terms of quickness. Mazda's 2.0L SkyActiv models are a bit quicker.

The CX3 is almost the same in terms interior space as the Mazda2. It is smaller than the Mazda3 which is not also on the big side compared the Civic or Altis.

As JohnM has suggested, give both cars a test drive before deciding.

Same dilemma, pero inalis ko na sa choices ko yung CX-3. Sobrang hindi practical.

Better comparo would be CX-5 base vs XV totl (I like them toys and safety features).
