mazda3 1.6s a/t or civic 1.8v m/t???

[retxednai05]

[SIZE=4]guys...need your help. i am planning to buy my first car. i am torn between mazda3 and civic. my foremost concerns are fuel efficiency, design and maintenance. the prices of the two are almost the same (mazda 819k, civic 810k). mazda3 is heavier and has 1.6 a/t, while civic is lighter, has m/t but 1.8 engine . which could be the more fuel efficient between the 2? which could give me more savings on the maintenance cost? which one looks better? please guys, i need your opinions/advices on this. [/SIZE]

okay here's my unbiased opinion...go for the civic, its more fuel efficient compare to mazda 3, and the resale value is way better, take it from me (i own a mazda 3 08 model)i bought one september this year...why? because of the very good ALL IN deal...

still i love my mazda 3 (bec it's all i can afford) remember Honda Doesn't throw away chattel mortgage and comprehensive insurance if you're planning to get your civic via
financing...and one more thing i would add...the control panel ( i dont know the exact term) of Mazda 3 is not impressive...compare to civic (understandle kase mas bago si civic)

for me sa dalawa civic na..sakto lang 1.8 sa kaha di underpowered hindi din bitin..

Civic gets my vote. Mazda3's charm has worn off.

thanks a lot Sir(s)! i agree with Actor21. I went to Mazda Alabang yesterday and when I inquired about the package and asked for a quotation, I found out that they are offering the same all-in deal. Its a big discount, so it keeps me thinking until now. I visited Honda Alabang just the same and they are offering 30k off. Now, Im really torn between the two.

Would you have any idea on the km per liter consumption of the 2?

Di ko alam kung dito ko sa tsikot nakita pero malapit na ata magpalit ng body ang mazda 3...wala lang sayang naman kung bibili ka ng bnew na auto tas ilang buwan palang may mas bago na...

Civic gets my vote. That is if you are comparing it with the current Mazda 3.

civic din too for me.

Go to Mazda Makati Instead look for Bong Ladrica he's my SA sabihin mo name ko Roy Pogi para mabigyan ka ng magandang deal hehehe effective yun pag sinabi mo name ko, I got mine with 65k All - IN promo:

free chattel mortgage worth 28k
free insurance worth 25k
free 3 yrs LTO
seat cover
back sensor
matting
tint
free pa ang 1k saka 10k PMS (sa civic hindi ito free)
may 1 year ERA CARD (Emergency Road Assistance ka aside from what you get sa insurance)

65k lang nilabas ko para lang ako bumili ng motor, tapos 16k monthly ko for 5yrs, very good deal huh? my best buddy(an NBI Lawyer), got his civic for 5yrs financing and he shelled out close to 300k...sising sisi sya...

maski mababa ang resale value ng oto mo, e nakuha mo na sa deal mo yun..same din ang kalalabasan nun, mahal si Civic kaya mataas din resale value nya...

sa honda hindi ka makakapaglabas ng oto maski yung pinakamura na hindi ka maglalabas ng 100k++++

my FC is 9.5 kms per liter i use e10, city driving (magaan ang paa ko)

I beg to Disagree GhostHunter...oto is not SMS or TXT format.."oto" is tagalog word for "Auto", just like the word tsikot its an slang or the word Kotse...

Basta sigurado ako Honda will never ever match the deal Mazda gives nor Ford gives. Mazda and Ford being the same. When I was choosing between Santa Fe and Everest; Ford gave us a super duper deal unheard of by me. They gave a hefty P50,000 discount, tapos free 1 year insurance, free 3 years LTO, free undercoating, free floor mats, free seatcover, free tint and free P5000 gas card. On top of that, they say I could pay 50% downpayment and a one year NO INTEREST paying P56,000/month for 12 months. Sabi ko "Holy cow ang ganda ng deal!" I was going to pay cash sana pero I always liked hulugan as long as 0% interest. Hyundai could only dreamed of matching such a deal but since I liked the Santa Fe better I still bought Santa Fe with cash. Buy the car, don't buy the deal!

[actor21]

Ayos yun deal mo actor21! 1.6V ba yan or 1.6S?

*pongster 1.6s po,

*ts kung me pera ka talaga mag civic ka kase mejo bagong labas ito compare sa mazda 3. pero kung yung tipong gaya ko na umaasa lang sa good deals, mag mazda 3 ka, since napakaliit ng cash out mo.

Suplado talaga sa honda, may barkada ko manager pa ang ulupong..ni isang kusing di daw sila nagbibigay ng promo...lakas daw kasi sila bumenta (yabang talaga) di daw sila nagpo promo...O e di nag lancer EX ako bago na mas madami pang goodies....no regrets..cute pa ng ahente ko OT na to..hahha

[tidus1203]

^^Hehehehe in fact instead of a promo they are raising the prices of their Civic.

actually pag lumabas ang Mazda 3 2010 model early or late next year, dito masusubukan ang civic...antay antay lang tayo hehehe...

[tidus1203]

Of course it would likely kick the Civic's arse since the Civic would now be old and pass its mid term life. But again if the new Civic in 2011-2012 is released talbog nanaman ang Mazda 3. Its just a vicious cycle.

Go ka na sa civic...kaso di mo na maabutan ang 30K discount nila...up to Nov 30 lang kasi....

Ako I'm just waiting for my civic, timing kasi delivery date niya long weekend holiday..so mga Friday pa deliver.... OK din freebies niya...3M tints...and I exchanged the free seat cover to leatherette, pay extra lang... I availed their insurance na mas lower, then the chattel is much lower than I expected....
