    2007 Mazda3 (facelift)

    -1.6 li engine is really inadequate for its size
    - no manual transmission
    - not so thrifty fuel consumption
    - driver airbag only
    - donut spare tire

    + bigger body than Vios
    + better suspension than Vios
    + larger trunk space
    + nice handling car


    2007 Vios (recently launched all new body, but same old engine and transmission)

    + thrifty fuel consumption by engines [1.5li (1NZ-FE) and 1.3li (2NZ-FE)]
    + suprisingly spacious (legroom) esp. for rear passengers.

    -a bit overpriced (IMO) - [the 1.5G and 1.3E). The 1.3J has the most value.
    -noisy cabin (loud engine revving noise evident)
    -4 spd automatic transmission needs improvement
    - steel rims spare tire for 1.5G and 1.3E. But this is better than the donut spare in the Mazda3.
    -Very plasticky door panels.
