Mazda 3 vs Lancer GTA

[blaster101]

Hi Guys,

I would like to have your inputs on which 2nd hand car should I buy giving they're both selling at the same price.
Mazda 3 2.0 (2011) or the Lancer GTA (2008)
I'm still young (22) and I'll be the one paying for the Car.
I'll only use it for long distance driving during weekends/holidays and sometimes for office gimmicks.
I won't be using it everyday since I prefer commuting on working days.(except during planned office gimmicks)
My preference would be fun to drive and interior.

Thank You.

Why only the 2 choices? How about the Civic FD 2.0L? Or the Focus TDCi?

I guess it would be best to start out with a budget and then find the best car that fits your key requirements.

Thanks sir, I may consider other options. I just started with these two since I like the looks of both.
My budget is 400k(max).

If pasok sa budget, hanap ka ng Mazda6 2.5L na 2009-2012 model years. Porma, bilis, fun to drive, tapos very decent interiors. Kung di kaya sa budget, go for the Mazda6 2.3L 2006-2008 model years. Nasa 300k na pricing nito ngayon sa used market.
