they are in the different category. city in the sub-compact, mazda 3 in the compact category. mazda 3 will surely be much expensive. in your case, i think FC and maintenance goes to city. resale value is the same. but mazda 3 is much newer. full model change this year while city is only minor change. test drive for the both cars

Civic FB. Seriously, if you're considering a 1M Mazda 3, I don't see any reason for you not to consider the FB as well.

Between your choices, sa MZ3 ako. Mas gwapo eh, fresh pa sa mata. Engine wont be a problem since nung 04 MZ3, yan na makina eh.

agree. if you're considering mazda 3, consider also it's competitors like lancer, altis, civic, elantra. mas sulit sila kaysa 1M price tag ng mazda 3. maganda nga lang talaga ang porma ng mazda 3 :D

Sir what's sub-compact and compact.. Wala po kasi akong alam sa cars e.. and i just wanted to know everything before I purchase one.

Sub-compact = Vios, Yaris, Jazz, City, Mazda 2, Fiesta, Rio, Accent and the likes...

Compact = Altis, Elantra, Civic, Lancer EX, Mazda 3 and the likes...

Baka naman civic,hindi city or mazda 2,hindi 3?hard to compare kasi magkaiba sila categories.

Mazda 3? Grabeng mahal yun. Especially if you consider that it still uses the same platform and even the same 105hp engine! For that price you can get yourself a much better car like the Civic, Elantra or the recently launched new Focus.

subcompact vs compact difference is the size and price range. Also different is the general engine size. Generally subcompact have smaller engines as compared to compact cars.
