Mazda 3 (2017) or Mitsubishi Lancer (2016)

If the preferred transmission is AT , should I go in Mazda 3?

If you want a Mazda 3, get one. It's got good handling, pretty feature-packed, and looks good in and out. Just change the hideous stock rims of the 1.5 which look terrible on the car. Or if you can afford it, get the 2.0.

I personally prefer the Civic 1.8E. Bigger and more powerful than the Mazda 3 1.5.

Same with jut, if choosing the Mazda3, go for the 2.0L model. The Civic 1.8E will be much better than the Mazda3 1.5L. Now, if you want a quick/fast car for around the same price as the Mazda3 1.5L, get the Focus 1.5L Ecoboost. Both the Mazda3 and Focus are a bit small inside compared to the Civic, Altis, or Sylphy.

I really wouldn't recommend the Focus to anyone because parts availability is just awful, even from the dealership. My officemates with Focuses have been using Vioses for months because that's how long it takes to order parts.

FGP themselves said that the Focus is not their priority so I expect the car to have very little support in the long run.

The fun from the turbo can't overcome the headache from an unreliable car and dealership network.

^^^ No wonder it is one of Ford's least selling model locally. I wonder if Ford has any local statistics on the reliability of the new Focus Ecoboost 6AT against the older 2.0L DCT model.

My friend seems to have no issues so far with his Sport (HB) 1.5L Ecoboost except for the fuel consumption on city driving routes. His average FC is about the same as my Forester XT.

Isn't the Ford Escape the least selling model of Ford? ...

Don't think the VW Jetta is available anymore at a discounted price ...
