Honda City 2014 1.5 VX or Toyota Altis 1.6G or Mazda 3 1.5?

If in case you have not tried sitting at the back of the new Mazda 3, i think they have a public launch this weekend at BGC. Maybe you can go check it out. Personally, I went to Mazda Greenhills when my SA told me that they already have units in their showroom.

I've been to the Mazda 3 BGC showroom and I can say that the rear leg room is enough for a normal person (unless the driver and front passenger are 6'11", then the rear leg room is not enough). Although, in comparison, the leg room for the City is insane! Even if the driver seat is fully extended to the back, there is still a wide rear leg room for the City.

Kaya 1.6G ng Altis ang naconsider ko kasi 935k sya vs 945k ng Mazda 3. Eh para sakin mas sulit si Mazda 3 1.5 compared kay Altis 1.6G kasi si M3 all solid disc brakes, multi-link beam rear suspension, parking sensors din. Ayun nga lang, 1.5 'yung makina. :p

Sure po ba 'to sir? Naging pro ko kasi suspension kay M3 kasi multi-link si Mazda 3 eh torsion beam si Altis.

^^^ Mazda 3 is a driver's car. It has a better suspension when it comes to handling. When it comes to city driving comfort, Altis is a bit better. But that's not to say that Mazda 3's suspension is not comfortable.

Would get the Mazda 3 just because it's CBU Japan.

Mazda3's front aesthetics will get ruined once you install plate numbers. The designers didn't factor the plate number location.

test drove both city and M3 last week seems mas responsive ang city kesa M3 at maluwag ang legroom ng city.

2014 Honda City trumps most Compact cars in rear leg room department even the class leading 2014 Toyota Altis. But remember the City is a Sub-compact car so there will be less shoulder room at the back. I still prefer the comfort level of the passenger seat of any Compact Cars today. Excluding the Ford Focus.

Rear leg room for each Sedan cars (centimeters)

MZ3 - 91 cm
Civic - 92 cm
Altis - 105 cm
Lancer - 92 cm
Impresa - 90 cm
Focus - 84 cm
