Mazda MX5 MT vs Subaru WRX MT

[foresterx]

the ground clearance of the wrx is no more advantageous than the miata for the philippine road set up. the need for awd in the streets of metromanila is non existent, it's actually a disadvantage because awd makes fuel consumption worse especially in metromanila traffic. the only advantage of the wrx over the mx5 is it's power, 5 seats and boot space.

I saw plenty during my visit in 2013. On our way from the MoA to the Global City, there was a downpour at Pasay City(?) which caused a construction area to get very muddy. Some vehicles were slipping pretty bad. Then, there was minor flooding near the Bamboo Organ and also somewhere in Cavite, toward Imus, maybe.

The Miata's nimbleness won't matter in Manila's traffic snarls which also makes it pointless.

Both cars excel away from the metropolitan area in which case the TC should probably consider a different set of cars....if traffic in Manila is a big concern.

The Miata seems best for places like where I am which gets over 300 days of nothing but sunshine.

Thanks for all the inputs, unfortunately, i went a different route.

Pangarap nalang muna ang miata haha

I like the choice. If my kids are all grown up and moved out, it's one of the cars I'd consider.

I won't have little terrors scratching and denting the finish. For example, our youngest kid put a dent on the rear left door of my wife's Rogue, barely two weeks in.

I don't know about you. But, my TLC disappears when I see dents and scratches. I just shrug and say, "Bleh. Forget it."

How about the Lexus NX series?

[EQAddict]

Tried the NX the other day. Its okay but no firecracker --- the fxt is around the same in acceleration. Of course the interior is very nice and if you get the f-sport it has more goodies.

Made the reservations yesterday. They don't have stocks of my preferred ending of conduction sticker and have to wait for weeks.

SA kept on insisting to get the available stock but told him I wanted the "newer" unit

Who was your agent? lorna?

i checked on the WRX that was displayed in one of the malls here. i think it was too small for a car valued at almost 2M. it didn't impress me at all (and the girl who attended to me wasn't that accommodating, you know, was just wearing shorts, shirt, and a pair of slippers. it aggravates). i think you add 200k to WRX you'll get a 3.5L V6 Camry.

Jolly Lajom.

That's my concern with the WRX, no wow factor but when i checked the jdm miata, cant take my eyes off it haha!

Bakit kaya ganyan mga SA noh? Nun una ko din punta sa lexus naka shorts at tshirt lang ako, walang gana yun SA sumagot sa mga tanong ko at ibenta produkto nila. Hindi man nga lang nag follow up sa akin kung kukuha ako eh pero pagbalik ko kahapon sa showroom sabay sabi "sir tatawagan palang kita para mag follow up" tas asikasong asikaso na.

Kung wala siya kahapon dun sa ibang agent ko talaga kukunin yun unit.

That showroom is really sosyal. Looks like a high end hotel lobby. I felt out of place inside. Daming big time fil-Chinese and even japanese ex pat customers.
