    Hi Tsikoteers
    I decided to just purschase a sedan rather than an MPV. My choices are the following. It will be a daily car driven by our driver that would seat 5 people comfortably. Legroom and headroom is a priority.

    1.Mazda 3 1.5v
    - According to reviews and from the mazda 3 thread it is fun to drive and it does not feel underpowered and the 1.5v has a more comfortable ride than its 2.0r brother. I'm thinking twice if I/m gonna consider the 2.0r since it has the same fc figure.
    - YOJIN3- it will help me save a few bucks for 3 years
    -Has a lot of toys at 975k

    2.Nissan Sylphy 1.6 upper cvt/ 1.8 v
    - It is the biggest among my choices. It has the largest amount of legroom and it feels the most luxurious compact sedan.
    - I have yet to inquire at Nissan Dealer about the discount I heard they are giving 80k discount on the sylphy

    3.Honda City VX Navi+/ E Navi+
    - It has decent space
    - Paddle shifters?
    - It has a lot features that are not present on it's competitors

    4. 2016 Honda Civic E
    - New model
    -bigger than the city
    - I'm gonna consider this if Honda will be giving discounts


    I'm open suggestion and the Pros and cons of these vehicles.
    Thanks

    I'm not considering the Ford Focus 1.6 since it still comes with 16' steelies
    I might consider the altis 1.6 G m/t&A/t too sad the 1.6v still dosen't come with a touchscreen monitor given it's retail price of 893k-999k.
    And I might consider some subcompact sedans below 1m

    I hope Honda will give me discounts and the 1.8 is a carryover power plant which means it does not have issues?

    I'm staying away from used cars as much as possible. The Camry is a good car we used to own one.

    The R18 is a carry over. Its a frugal engine. Almost like a 1.6 when its in eco mode. One of the best 1.8 engines imo.

    If I planned on buying a sedan then I would really go for the Mazda3 2nd choice would be an Altis.

    Mazda3
    It's new and exciting. Skyactiv is seriously one hell of an engine.

    Yes bro the 6 speed manual will save you fuel in the open highway and it is the onlycompact that offers a manual transmission on their mid variant, I hope toyota will replace 2din radio with a 7inch android nfotainment or just the basic one.
