a choice between mazda 3 and Honda City....expect somebody to bring in Accent. :bwahaha:

[reactor]

I'll choose Honda because of it's value and reliability (though may recall ngayon) at least parts wise available kahit outside casa at high resale value. I think better FC than mazda3. Pero Kung sa porma, lamang ang mazda3 for me

mazda para kang nakaexpedition sa takaw sa gas

city, para kang nasa tin can at orocan hehe

We have a 2-liter Mazda3, and Honda City 1.5, both 2010 model.

The 2-liter Mazda consumes around 8-9 kms per liter (San Lorenzo, Makati - Roces, QC route).

The interior and looks of Mazda, albeit outdated, is still classically beautiful. It is well built, with good emphasis on plastic quality, and gap tolerances. I was initially looking at the 1.6 Mazda, but realized how much underpowered it is after a testdrive. Honda 1.5 just feels so much lighter against Mazda's 1.6, from standstill. True to some generalizations here, that 1.6 is as heavy as it looks, and will likely consume a lot of gas on a stop and go traffic of the Metro. Hence, I chose the 2.0 I deliberately did not care for the "new" smiley Mazda, the looks just doesn't appeal to me.

Practically speaking, I'll get the 1.5 City over the Mazda, if we are talking about the 1.6. But if gas price is no object to you, I'll choose Mazda, for sheer handling and build quality.

By the way, I was never a fan of Mazda until I bought a CX9 early last year. A few months later, I bought that 3.

My wife drives that City, and just recently, a Yaris (which I believe is a more practical car than the City if you often just drive alone, or with a passenger).

Do you guys know when will the new Elantra/Avante will be coming out in the market?

========================================

^^^ I was expecting this answer from the buyer himself hehe

[foresterx]

i'd go with the mazda 3 since it's more fun to drive, better handling and better build quality. the mazda feels more solid than the city. another reason why i like the mazda 3 better than the city is because the city is every where, unlike the mazda di ganon ka dami.

Mazda3 kasi we bought one, ang City hindi. Why?

Interior ng City di ganoon kaganda. Tacky yung radio.
The tailights and trunk of the City look weird and bland at the same time.
Iba pa rin ang subcompact sa compact sedan. Kahit larger interior space and cargo space ang City.

Downside ng Mz3? Luma na, pati anlakas sa gas ng 1.6L 7-8km/L City Driving.

Cash? Mz3
Loan? City

Sir, up to how much is your budget? Is it somewhere around 850-900k? There are also other choices besides these two that you may want to check out.

The Mazda 3 is pig slow, especially in A/T form because it is severely underpowered. The looks are good though, both inside and out. If you're getting the 3, I suggest you go for the 2.0L variant.

The Honda City is a very good car. As you can see, there are lots of it around the Metro, even more than the Jazz if I'm not mistaken. The looks are good and it exudes that executive feeling not found in most of those in its class. The engine gives excellent performance, but I hear that the fuel mileage isn't as good as the much hyped previous-gen City/Jazz which ran Pagudpud to Sorsogon.

Aside from these two, I'd suggest you look up the Hyundai Accent 1.6GLS, Chevrolet Cruze 1.8LS or the Honda Civic 1.8V.

My first owned car was mazda 323 it was 10 years old when i bought it... 155k ... magastos nga sa maintenance pag may edad na... pero hindi madaling maluma IMHO... hanap ka ng jazz na 2006 model... around that price lang ding siguro...

Teka, 2.0 ba yang Mazda 3? If yes, then good buy na for 200k.

If 1.6, I would stay away from it. I utterly dislike the Mazda 3 1.6. Same consumption as the 2.0 but with much less power. Of course kung gusto mo talaga yung kotse dahil galing sa kakilala mo, then go ahead.

Would also choose the City. More spacious, more efficient, more powerful, cheaper to maintain than the Mazda 3.
