I planning to sell my Altis and buy a new car this January. Which is the best among these 3? Vios G Leather, City 1.5V or Mazda 3 1.6S?![]()

Magkakaiba ng platform ang mga choices mo ah..
if fuel efficiency ang concern mo, id get the city cvt anytime.
coming from a corolla altis i think mazda3 kna dapat. parang downgrade pa kung balik ka sa vios/city
Comfort?
1st - Mazda3
2nd - Vios
3rd - City - it's close
Cargo capacity?
1st - City - 500 liter trunk... freaking huge.
2nd - Mazda3
3rd - Vios
Fuel Economy?
1st - City / Vios
2nd - Mazda3
Handling?
1st - Mazda3
City? Vios? Handle? naaaah. I like the City's woeful steering a little better than the Vios's terrible steering, though.
Looks?
1st - Mazda3
2nd - Vios
3rd - City
Ang pagbalik ng comeback...
From an Altis. Just go for the Mazda 3. It's btter than the Vios and the City. but for fuel economy I'll go for the Vios.![]()
for economical reasons i.m.o. choose the vios but if satisfied ka naman sa unit mo why change brand and not wait for the coming new model of toyota altis/corolla?
With the current prices of fuel, fuel efficiency will be a major concern during the car's ownership. I would choose the Honda City with CVT tranny.
BTW, i have heard of some problems with the "flywheel" for the CVT equipped 1.3L units, even though it has only been normally driven around the city. Replacing the said part seemed to solve the problem (jerking acceleration during uphill driving). It might be wise to ask some of the guys who own Jazz/City for their experiences.
Over a Mazda3 I'd get a Focus 1.8L hatchback. Bigger engine then the Mazda3 1.6 and more features at the same price as a Vios 1.5 (Ford is giving good discounts).
But if fuel efficiency is the main conceren then a Vios/Jazz is the option to look at.
If I can expand the choices ... if budget is permitting, I might choose the Ford Focus 2.0L diesel. Very cheap to run yet delivers performance levels to par with the Honda Civic SiR. The quiet engine will almost not give away that it runs on diesel (except during cold starts).
Hmmm... Have you test-driven/test-ridden them already? Why not also wait for the new Altis, it's supposed to come out sometime February 2008.
But if you were really insistent, and choose to get one of the three, I'd go with the Mazda 3S. At least it's in the same category as the Altis. The other two are sub-compacts. Downside is fuel consumption though, since the 3 drinks more than the other 2.
