    hay naku bos...nothing can escape the hands of today's lady drivers. from suvs ( from small ones to full sized big a$$ truck sized ones) to pick-ups to vans, you name it, and they're driving it (and they're turning them into chock full of children/mom mobiles even).

    come to think of it, even motorcyles aren't spared from this phenomenon (not that it's a bad thing or is it?)

    onga pati suvs, pero dito sa gensan popular ang civic kahit sa mga single working women, tulad mga officers ng banks or young lady doctors. siguro for 1 every lady driving suv = 10 lady driving civic, altis, sentra, vios etc..each yan ha

    The Mazda3's front seats and ride are more comfortable than the Civic's. There are some cheap plastics, but overall, the interior looks pretty good. Admittedly, the Civic has better plastics in some areas, but more surfaces are covered with them.

    :ot: sir niky, when are you going to check out the new focus TDCi? I sms-ed my agent at Ford Alabang, they told me it's gonna be out come 2nd week of August, I'm interested for a 2nd car (my fd is a daily beater), true there are only two colors for the TDCi?

    Anyway, Civic still here!

    Only two colors, yup. I don't like the Platinum silver whatever, but the Blue one... my stars, that one's ***y. All it needs is 18" mags, racing stripes and an RS badge...

    I'm still waiting for an extended drive. I'll be bugging my dealer tomorrow.

    Neither.. dahil sa dami nang meron it has become the 'hoi poloi' must have.

    Also, because of the pot-hole ridden roads of Manila, the suspension on compact cars like the mazda3/civic/lynx/sentra turns into dust after one year.

    I suggest you save up some more to get a CR-V or a low-end cross-over vehicle. Not for the porma but least there's a chance that your suspension will last for 3 years without changing.

    But then again, if you have money to burn why not? Any CUVs, SUVs and even Pickups out there are very nice choices. Being "hoi poloi" doesn't mean it's already a turn off to own one, although these two choices can/may be seen almost at any pavement out there, it just means that both have attained different targets and goals (they work!). Yes, it may be practical to buy the mentioned vehicles (C-RV etc etc.) but the price as well as cost of maintenance are such a pain in the butt for us middle class people that we settle for the next best thing (or the best thing) which are sub compacts and compacts. Different demands, different options. I don't have to argue about suspension, any car-loving person out there just need to take it easy on our roads to prolong the life of their suspension as well as their vehicles as a whole. Oh by the way, It's not just about the looks, it's also practical.

    i've testdriven the Mazda3, ambagal! liit din pala ng interior at mababa roofline para sa akin. lamang lang siya sa handling lalo sa mga sharp turns na di ko magawa sa Civic dati. overall Civic pa rin ako, bigger at wider at matipid, Honda pa.

    pero between the Mazda3 R at 2.0 Civic, Mazda na siguro ako.
