[niky]

That means you need to refresh your seat cushions.

[slamtaz]

i guess this is a needed paradigm shift.. and i believe its a shift for the better..

I traded my Honda and got the Mazda 3... Just hate the Honda's digital speedometer and handling. No regrets..

So far, I haven't heard any complaints. But since the dealerships are all new, it might be some time before they acquire evil service advisors. :evil: If they're run by the same people who run the Ford dealerships, expet relatively good service, at a reasonable price, but expect long waits for cosmetic parts and unusual parts for repair from the plant (they have the same plant). But for common parts, like alternators, starters, aircons, etcetera, they should have a full stock.

The facelift might come in next year.

Sedan EX, 1.8L, AT... Don't get me wrong, it's a good car but the digital speedometer is not for me. I got the 2.3L, AT.

sa tingin ko mas maganda pa rin and civic kaysa sa mazda 3 well mayroon ng 2007 mazda 3 na may stock turbo so next year might be a different story

[DonCamote]

I don't know how different are the US versions, anyways...

The Mazda 3 and Civic share the accolade here as Best Buy...

civic my choice... lalo na here locally mazdas are... not a well trusted car manufacturer yet. Pro internationally it's a totally different story. But still kahit nasa U.S pa ko I'll go for the new civic, it fits my personality better than the 3. Medyo weird des. eh, liit pa ng bintana... lower visibility than other cars.. he he he...

For pure performance, I'll take the MazdaSpeed 3. It'd be nice though if there was a 2-door coupe like the Type R. Cars like these aren't meant to have passengers in the back: just the driver and maybe a hot date.

mazda. friend has the 2litr version. his mom just bought the new civic 2litr as well. civic feels stiff. car doesn't respond like the mazda. it's like you can't feel the car.
