I would not even consider getting a City VX+ with its tag price of almost 1M. What more with 1.1M? It's as if those Modulo accessories will make wonders to improve how the car drives which it will not.

Well, thanks, what about the after sales service of the mazda? are they good?

What about on SUV? what do you think.

Ala eh! Batangan tayo!

The City is way overpriced. The Altis doesn't drive as nicely or feel as high-quality or look as good as the Mazda.

Also, since you're in this price range already, ayaw mo ng Montero or Sportage CRDi?

hmmm di ko pa kasi nasusubukan montero at sportage eh,, hindi ba malaks yan sa gas kasi malaki ang kaha?

The Montero and Sportage are diesels. If you get 8 km/L in city driving, thats as good as getting 10 km/L with a gas fed car. None of those 2-liter sedans get 10 km/L in moderate city traffic.

The gas Sportage is admittedly more of a gas guzzler (7 km/L vs 8 km/L for the 2-liter sedans), but it has higher ground clearance and more space. Better resale value too compared to a 2-liter compact, which only sells the same as a 1.6 liter in the secondhand market.

The Mazda 3 is still more exciting than either of the Montero/Sportage, but these are far more practical especially the Montero.

Very well said, I think Mazda 3 2014 model got the highest score among its competitors.
Though rear legroom has been a little issue. I think that's fit enough for the Philippine guy.

Mazda 3 is the winner,though its pricier.

I'm gonna put up thread for the SUV type vehicle, since i'm done choosing with sedan.

Thanks.

As mentioned, Mazda offers the Yojin3 promo for every Mazda vehicle purchase. It's free maintenance and parts for 3 years. You can check the dealer for the full coverage of the Yojin3 promo. I guess with the growing number of new Mazda vehicles on the road, it speaks highly of their Yojin3 promo.

Wala ibang dealer na may offer na free maintenance.

What SUV's/AUV's might be the best choice nowadays.? (2014-2015)

Additional questions,

Yojin3 total care, Is it really true that they offer the free 3 year maintenance?

And Skyactiv better than the others?

with the use of i-stop, mazda 3 got the highest fuel efficiency compared to its rivals?????

Check the Mazda cars thread for detailed exchanges from owners of SkyActiv vehicles. Some owners of the CX5 2.0L report city driving FC figures of 10 km/L while owners of the Mazda6 2.5L report 9 km/L. Those FC figures are comparable to subcompacts and compacts which have engines within 1.3L to 1.6L displacement.

The Mazda3 2.0L has the same engine as the CX5 2.0L. Only the Mazda3 2.0R has the i-stop technology and not the 1.5L models.

Well, what can you say about the i-stop and i-eloop? Does it makes a Big Gap or One step ahead among its competitors?
