MAZDA3 or CIVIC

[MACpod]

hello sa lahat.
just in case i finally decide to get a car in a few months, alin po dito sa 2 ito ang better choice.
my top most consideration is fuel consumption. second po ay performance and third ay looks.
ung CIVIC 1.8V A/T (817,000) at ung MAZDA3 1.6L S A/T 4dr (799,000) ang variants na pinagpipilian ko.
maraming salamat.

2 from your most consideration (fuel consumption,performance) civic wins it...looks definitely mazda 3 so 2 against 1= civic...

[VtEC]

i like the looks of mazda 3 but i still go with the civic.

[MACpod]

salamat.kahit ako, mas pipiliin ko ang mazda3 pagdating sa looks, kaya lang may mga nagsasabing negative pagdating sa fuel economy ang mazda.

Fuel consumption and looks, IMO, Civic is the right choice. Depending on other people, I think the FD Civic is truly an out-of-box and unconventional design that Honda managed to pull off again.

In terms of performance (handling-wise), the Civic loses to the MZ3. But Civic FD's engine is the right size for the car's body and has much better fuel consumption.

A lot has been said about MZ3's underpowered engine already. It is not the right size for the MZ3's heavy body which is why it is consuming more fuel than normal.

Note:

The MAZDA3 1.6L S A/T 4dr (799,000) is now 769,000 due to discounts.

Mazda 3 is on a recall notice for models up to 2007. It involves a wiring harness.

sa tingin mo yng civic fd ganun ka ganda. di ka nagtataka kung bkit biglang sumikat ang mzdA 3? alam mo ba ang civic fd ay medyo mahirap i set up compared sa older civics. or kung gusto mo i hataw mo ung civic mo sa curve tapos try mo gawin mo sa mzda3 yung same manuever

[jr_altis_s]

Might sound stupid, but for a newcarjunkie like me, what do you mean by FD?

[Galactus]

^^^ FD is just the chassis code for the 8th Gen Civic
