Honda Civic RS Modulo vs. Mazda 3 Speed vs. Everest Trend

[paomigz15]

Hey guys! Ano kaya mas sulit saken? Honda Civic RS Modulo or Mazda 3 Speed or Everest Trend? Work from home ako and 3 to 4 times a week lang ako lumabas either papunta gym or kapag may lakad. Usually magisa lang ako or kasama ko si girlfriend. My budget is P1.5M. I'm also planning to use the car for the next 5 to 10 years. By the way, I'm also planning to get married at the end of the year or early next year that's why I'm also considering an SUV for family use. My current car is Mazda 3 2005 so plan ko na benta yun baka saken kasi abutan ng kung ano anong sira, actually may sira nga siya ngayon nasa casa. Any other suggestions are welcome

I'd get the Trend in a heartbeat.

Unless you drive fast on mountain roads frequently, the Civic and Mazda 3 aren't as versatile as the Everest. Since I assume you're still pretty young, the harsher ride of the Everest compared to the sedans shouldn't bother you much.

It will also come out cheaper to run because the Everest is more efficient and is a diesel. Resale value is much, much better than either of the 2 sedans too.

Same sentiments. Also that flood proof height is numero uno.

Diesel costs per week will be much lower too.

Since you are considering the RS, get it. Or else, medyo masasaktan ka everytime you see one. Just don't get the Modulo, sa labas ka nalang kung gusto mo yung mga kits. :D

I think mas malaki ang possible remorse mo, when you buy an Everest, and you see an RS, than when you get the RS.

Last month, I was looking at the Innova, Fortuner, and Civic. I got the 1.8 Civic. :D

Masyado ng mahal for me ang RS.. ehehe Nakakaguilty, tatlo na babies namin! ahaha

Curious, bakit mas nakakapanghinayang if he doesn't get the RS compared to if he doesn't get the Mazda 3 or the Everest?

I mean, in all cases, he went for one car and forgone the other 2.

Well, just for the reason why you are considering the Everest, because it is more practical versus the other 2. Most often than not, the practical choice does not make us happy.

Also, andami ng Everest sa daan, so kapag nakaCivic ka, medyo magsasawa ka din sa mga Everest na nakikita mo. With the Civic, medyo konti palang. Isa lang ata nakikita ko dito sa amin per day, minsan wala man ako makita na iba.

I say fun now, practical later nalang. Kaya pa naman bumili ng Innova let's say in 5 years, kapag may anak na.

Get the White RS, may bridal car kapa! ahaha!

Pero if you want fun na din, pero medyo practical, just get the 1.8E. Or the lower variant Mazda 3.

hi, im choosing between mazda 3 and honda civic. the biggest point that's y im leaning towards mazda 3 is the 3 year yojin services.. based on reviews though, the rear seats are cramped for passengers that's y im thinking civic might be a better option? is it worth it to sacrifice the 3 year yojin services for more leg space room or sacrifice more leg space room for the 3 year yojin service?

You'll feel more pain and remorse everytime you scrape your under chassis whenever hit a pothole or drive on a steep incline ... or whenever you fill up at fuel station and see the diesel vehicle beside you paying less for more fuel ...

This is my other concern. Medyo mababa kasi Civic RS and Mazda 3 Speed.

Never really have that problem with my 1.8E. Wala pa namang sayad. Ngayon ko nga lang narealize, keeping in mind na mababa yung sasakyan ko, made me drive more cautious..

Also, with my 1.8E, I am averageing 10 KM/L, with average speeds of 20 KM/H. So it is not a gas guzzler as you think it is. Probably ganyan din ang Everest? Yun nga lang, mura ang diesel. :D

[Walter]

Take note, the rear ingress of the Honda Civic is quite low ... tall people might bump their heads easily when entering rear seat ...

Just got my RS a couple of days ago and ung trend ko 1year na sa akin.

In summary, if this would be your only car, Id go with the trend. Get a good ecu tune if mahilig ka sa rezing and spirited driving, and call it a day.

RS if may 2nd car ka na like a van/suv/auv, etc.

Regarding FC, average ko sa trend is 12km/L. RS is at 14 same route, medyo granny driving pa since kaunti pa break in. Id say same coat lang since mas mahal gas/blaze 100 vs vpower diesel. PMS mahal Everest ng kaunti at 8L oil vs. 4L oil for RS.

RS is quick, but not as quick as my 500whp sunday car... But, from monday to friday work, I cant or I have a hard time driving it since pagoda pag manual sa trapik so I bought the RS.

Everest pag may bagyo or pag maulan ang forecast or out of town. If car dala ko, kinakabahan ako if malakas na ulan or may nakikita na ko rough road ahead. Sa everest chill lang...

Thanks for the advice sir! Is the Everest the cheapest to maintain and run overall among the three? Mas mahal din kasi toll fee sa highway, car wash, LTO, maintenance, etc. pag mas malaki car mo di ba? I'm also alone most of the time so not sure if sulit saken Everest.

[chiezee]

Get the everest. I own a mazda 3 2015 i really love the car its fun to drive and looks good in and out.
But when i got my montero 2016 my mazda 3 sits on the garage most of the time now. Iba talaga ang practicality ng PPV over a sedan. You'll know it once you get the everest. And besides bihisan mo lang konti yung everest dka na mapapalingon sa mga sedan 😁

Kung max mo 1.5 million mag CR-Z ka na

Sa unang tingin lang maganda current civic. Sa 2nd look 3rd look wala na. Bigyan kita example ng maka 100th look maganda pa din = honda city and fortuner.

At sa presyo 1.4 million na civic eh sayang pera. Yung entry level na CR-Z mas nararapat sa ganyan presyo.

Thanks sir! Mukang mas practical nga ata ang Everest. How about the maintenance? Same lang ba compared to sedans?

Hahahaha! I agree! That's why pinapatagal ko muna baka magbago pa isip ko sa Civic RS.

The Civic RS can scoot faster than the CRZ. The CRZ's power output is only about the same as the Civic 1.8L. A Civic RS with its room for 5 people, big trunk, and its 1.5L turbo engine rated at 172hp is a better buy than the CRZ.

Sabi nila, naka embed na sa brain natin na height = king! Kaya nung mga ancient times, ung mga kalesa or ung mga karo ng Hari matataas or buhat sila ng slaves para mataas sila while in transport.

Same feeling when you're riding an suv. You feel king and look down on people literally and somewhat figuratively. Wag ka lang matatabihan ng Bus or Truck na mas malaki since mas king sila.. LOL.

Different story if you're into spirited driving. Sa oto ako.

My opinion is based on my experience owning an SUV.
I think starting a family and buying an SUV does not go well together.
Practicality aside, SUVs are not convenient for pregnant women and your soon-to-be-kids (at least from infant to toddler stage).
Ingress and egress is much more difficult than a CUV or sedan.
Just imagine your wife, with that big heavy baby bump and/or sleeping baby/ies in her arms, trying to get inside and going down of your SUV.
.....but if you have a tall wife, then I think an SUV will be better than a sedan.
HTH.

Good point since I'm planning to have kids in 2 to 3 years.
