MAZDA3 or CIVIC

[lancer]

buti na lang hindi taxi fleet since it's toooooooo common

[a4Tech]

Stock Mazda3 > dressed up civic.

The civic is toooooo common nowadays. Lahat nalang ata naka civic na. Mas prestigious padin ang dating ng Mazda3.

This is so true.

Ganda din ng civic, pero iba talaga yung mazda.

Maganda nga ang Civic. Pero pag 2.0 na ang itinapat mo wala na sya. Mabilis na kung sa mabilis, di naman lahat ng bumibili ng Civic and Mazda3 racer.

I'm happy with my Mazda3 kahit ano pa sabihin nila, magastos sa gas, common daw. Well common naman talaga ang Mazda3, pero medyo konti makikita mo na 2.0

I stand corrected but are you referring the 1.8 m/t or 2.0 m/t of the new honda civic? errr?

Dude no offense, nangiwan ako ng stock to stock mz3 2.0 sa skyway, 1.8 variant ko lang. di na nakaabot pagdating ng 3rd gear pinauna ko pa sya. That goes for its transmission, kung naka m/t ang mz3 2.0 siguro iba usapan, iba nangyari pero hindi eh, lalo na siguro kung 2.0 m/t ang kinalaban nun.

Hehe bilis pala magpatakbo ni sir Erick.

Pero hindi kaya, masyadong maikli yung stretch ng skyway na pinag patakbuhan nyo? Kasi kung naka 3rd gear ka pa lang ibig sabihin hindi pa nag kick-in yung higher gear ng mazda. Pansin ko lang sa mazda it really takes some time para mag shift to higher gears unless i floor talaga yung gas.

Basta if given the chance i'd like to own them both.

Nope, gabi na kasi talaga sya sir a4Tech, I did my 215 km/h sprint from tollgate alabang-dela rosa northbound.

I have a video in my other forums site w/c i'm a member, you can see my video there from 187-194 km/h at night pero naputol due to memory na ng camera ko. Nasa 4th gear palang ako nun or nasa youtube site ko, pm ko sayo that is if you want. hehe.

The maximum achievable speed *4th gear redline is about 198-200 km/h on a 1.8 variant, pagshift mo sa 5th gear, very long gearing ng 5th, *215, wala pa hataw ivtec.

Masarap din mag high speed sprint sa skyway if done properly of course. It was night, the sky was clear, there was no sign of wet pavement of the road, the guards (were sleepy hehe), physical and mental preparedness and most importantly, there were no vehicles there when I did my run.

So far, the fastest we have is 220km/h done by another team member. We don't know kung sino pa mas mabilis.

Maganda din ang mazda3, I personally like it on white tapos yung 07 edition na smoked tail lights and refaced grill, pretty car. But I was a bit pissed when It felt short on the engine when I was choosing before then for my new car.

Anybody want to trade their Civic 07 for a Mazda 3 07? Even for a week? hehe.

Magaling talaga ang Honda when it comes to technology, tapos Mazda for its road handling.

Maibili nga si misis ng Civic (tapos ako gagamit).

yeah! mas maganda nga sa cornering ang mazda. For us fd owners, ok naman ang handling, yun nga lang, minsan a bit short pag high speed tapos corner bigla, break talaga ng onti onti. Majority of us, nagpapastruts, lowering springs, you know the rest.

Ang alam ko may honda media challenge somewhere pero malapit na. Baka dun pede test drive ng madaming variant. By the way the one who did the 220 km/h run was a 2.0 owner. May nagturbo, nitrous system, supercharger (jackson racing ata) na nga eh. Yung sa Unichip piggyback system upgrade hintay nalang namin, pati ako excited na sa pagbili nun. lol

The Lynx RS can hit 207 km/h easily, stock. I don't doubt that the Civic 1.8 MT can hit about 210-220 given enough road, as it has about as much power as the Lynx (though I find the low-down torque kind of weedy compared to the Ford, and it takes longer to get to 190 km/h) and better aerodynamics (which counts for a lot at high speed). But once modified, the RS can hit 220-225 km/h... 230, even, if you have the right tires (the Lynx redlines at 220 km/h on the stock tires... ).

Sayang lang sa 1.8, you can't put real headers on it... just a downpipe... but that single exhaust port means it should be very easy to turbo. Speedlab is prototyping a kit right now...

[Lucius]

Erick, you're talking about my unit pala hahaha, the pre-facelifted verison that comes in white

Yep I know medyo mabagal kahit 2.0 na, pero ibang usapan na sa pag walang traffic. Well sige kahit maiwan pa rin ok lang, kasi pag naiwanan ako ng civic that means me and my girl is looking up thanks to my MOONROOF

Hehe really nice.

I'd be wavin goodbye to the civic thru my MOONROOF also.

I was in the same position 2 weeks ago, I opted to get the civic instead

my only reasons were mas bago ang design ng civic compare sa mazda, I don't care about the engine anyway I'm not a racer, it will be just an ordinary everyday car, when my brod in law bought a mazda when it first came out, when I rode on them parang cheap ang mga materials...

[wilcats]

Pareho sila maganda... pero sa quality para sakin eh Civic panalo

[MACpod]

meron nbang mazda3 2008? malaki kaya ang difference in terms of looks? TIA

[Camgen6]

lately nagtanong din ako sa bank loan officer regarding popularity of the civic pero sabi nya ang dumaraming car loan applications ay for the 1.6 litre mazda3 pero most of them are businesswoman. then tanong ako sa honda qc sabi nila mga 2 weeks waiting time for the 1.8 litre after reservation of 5k... which means parang mas mabili 'ata ang civic

[javinjavril]

Para sa akin, mas pipiliin ko yung Civic kaysa sa Mazda 3. Yung Civic mas maganda yung engine and mas responsive kaysa sa Mazda 3. Yung exterior, mas gusto ko yung Civic pero yung Mazda 3 maganda din (yung 2.0 hatchback nya maganda). Pero yung handling ng Mazda mas maganda kaysa sa Civic pero not bad naman yung Civic. And oh yeah, it's a newer car (pero hindi naman dahil mas bago mas maganda) and pag Honda maganda resale value. Interior ng dalawa ok rin, ok mga plastics na ginamit. Gusto ko talaga yung pearl white na Civic 2.0S-L

i've owned before a civic 1.8s un nga lng nacarjack ako... bt now im driving a 07 mazda 3 hatch... considering the looks.... mazda 3 for me.. the interior... audio... handling... astig kc ung proma ng hatch n mz3 comapre sa civic and besides napakadaming ng nk-civic fd sa road kya i choose n mz3 nlng kunin kong kapalit sa civic ko n knarjack... in terms of speed. mas lamang ung civic... fuel consumption? un ang kinagulat ko kc mas tipid ung civic compre sa mz3.. kala ko mas matipid ung mz3 kysa sa civic kc b4 nalalakasan n ko sa consumption ng civic ko bt mas malaks pla ung mz3 kc mas heavy xa in a 1.6 engine... pero pg s city driving lng nmn malakas ung mazda3 sa gas... halos pareho lng sila ng consumption from malolos to makati... i stayed kc sa makati every weekdays kya lam mo nmn d2 heavy trafic kya di nagmamatched ung odometer ng car sa may km reading display ng fuel n pwede mo png itakbo.. un din pla ung magnda sa mz3.. ders a screen that you can view your gas kng ilan km p ung itatakbo, ung cosupmtion mo per 100 km... 3000 km n ung akin and the reading says 12.6km/l... mixed with city and highway driving... sa size... mas pabor skin ung mz3 dhil s hatchback xa.. and im on s audio setup kya mas maganda ung setup ko ng sounds s mz3 ko kysa s civic... in terms of stock color... mas maraming choices sa mz3 kysa sa civic.. i go for lime green para konti lng meron.. sa civic kc.. halos parepareho n kayong lahat... sa parking lot ang hirap idistinguish kng nsan ung sayo... and i've lyk the activematic of mz3 kya i cn choose either manual or il go w matic... im on kc s sporty looks kya i go mz3 but for fc il go 4 civic... ive owned and tested kc pareho... para skin = lng silang pareho...
