Mazda 3 S vs Honda City CVT

[triggerman222]

sensya na medyo alam ko d dapat cla compare..

the mazda is my choice but since my wife is the one going to drive it most of the time kaya sya daw ang magdedecide

we've decided to get your votes in terms of value for money, quality and fuel efficiency

Thanks and more power

[caloyski5]

with your terms, the honda city wins hands down


but for me, i would rather sacrifice some fuel efficiency to drive something that looks better (exterior and interior), bigger, and more to my taste. so mazda 3 for me

[mazdamazda]

if you want to be really practical about this decision... I'll go with the City. the CVT alone is really worth the purchase!

but as for me, I'll go with the Mazda3. handling is light years ahead of the lifeless steering input of the City... for aesthetics, it'll win hands down against the ipis-styled City... and most of all, I'll take a compact sedan over a subcompact sedan any time.

thanks for the info hehe nacoconvince na ng konti but naging mazda hb vs honda jazz cvt na ang pinagpipilian namin

the price for mazda hb is now 815k will give discount of 15k so 800k na lang,
while the jazz cvt is 672k walang discount.

parang overprice kasi yung jazz, takot kasi sya sa aftersales and service ng mazda mukhang mahal daw.

quality and technology which is better?

Thanks again

quality- Honda pa rin although i have heard some faults with honda lately but Againsts a Ford made car, honda will still win.

Technology- CVT may be the automatic transmission of the future, its basically a better A/T than your regular gear ratio type transmission. So Honda wins in Tech plus the push button gear selector in the steering wheel is cool even if its not needed.

For me, be it hatchback or sedan, Mazda3 hands down!

the 672K Jazz isnt the VTEC for sure coz its around 750+K which isnt really value for money. looks inside and out favors the Mazda3 as well as the equipments plus its known to have a good handling.

lastly, i dont trust CVTs unless it's chain driven type.

for fuel efficiency, i'll go with the City. but i'd still get the mazda3. medyo, malakas nga lang daw sa gas. pero pogi naman. :D

mazda3 hatchback.

the only edge the jazz has over the mazda is fuel efficiency in this comparo (IMHO po) is fuel efficiency. which to say would be the least of your problems if you have a growing family. kung second car na grocery getter lang, i have no qualms with the jazz. but if it's going to be a daily driver for the family, i'd always get the bigger car.

City is like a family van, you'll never buy it coz you "want" one, hehe... "need" lang talaga.

[niky]

Hmmm... Sedan vs. Sedan? Depends. Do you usually carry four people or five? If you don't need the space, the City is fine and is a great economy car. My relatives (family of four) use theirs to go to the province (4-5 hour trips) from time to time. Very comfortable, despite being a bit narrower than compacts, as it gives good head and leg room.

But porma vs. porma, the Mazda hatchback against the Jazz hatchback? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... tough choice. While the Mazda hatch does have better steering feedback, the Jazz is quicker and very nimble. It's overpriced, yes, but what hatchback isn't? (except the Picanto... :lol: ). If you're buying a wife car, buy the Jazz 1.5 VTEC. She'll look good driving it, won't have a hard time finding parking, and you'll love driving it yourself when you borrow it from her. The show and the go make up for the higher price, believe me.

If it were me, though, I'd buy myself a Mazda 2.0R, but then, that'd be selfish.

[Bravoexo]

What particular questions do you have for the Mazda3 Hatchback? I may be able to help.

[miLes]

... the ipis-styled City...

natawa aku dito ah haha never thought of it that way yan tuloy nagmumukhang ipis city sakin

[cumbersome]

Jazz if you're the type who thinks about resale value and the perceived reliability of Honda. The Mazda HB if you want something different and exciting. Honda City? Ugh.

[orly_andico]

i did some spreadsheet-crunching last weekend, and found out something interesting..

your typical 800k car, if you drive it for 5 years and put 50k kilometers on it, will cost approximately 5-6 pesos per kilometer for FUEL. the acquisition cost is about 20 pesos per kilometer, and maintenance about 5 pesos. total running cost about 30 pesos per kilometer.

so even a "known gas guzzler" would not affect the operating cost very much (that 5-6 pesos/km is assuming around 9km/L).

but at the end of five years.. if you can resell the car for 500k (think: Altis) you get back a fat 10 pesos/kilometer. don't know if the mazda could sell for that much..

thanks guys for the quick reply, iba talaga dito sa tsikot...
75% jazz daw sya, ayaw na papigil ako na lang daw pili ng color
Black, satin silver or Blue?

[caloyski5]

black!

[triggerman222]

yup black is also my first choice thanks

[theveed]

panget black ng honda unfortunately, pain in the ass to maintain, nipis and gasgasin... I'd go for silver or blue, cute ng electric blue shade.

[niky]

Yung blue okay... para na siyang passion orange ng Civic... signature color ng Jazz.

From experience, pogi nga ang black, pero andaling makita ng mga scratches dito.
