    They say Mazda 2 is great and fun to drive. I've seen Ciaz, I like its exterior design. I have the impression that it is roomy.

    You should try both and see for yourself. You might as well try hitting the second gear at 60 kph to get the feel of how it will perform in case you really need the speed in the shortest time possible.

    i tried them both out, before.
    the mazda2 is crampy. the ciaz is surprisingly spacious. it's even more spacious than the 1st gen altis (2003s).

    How about the driving experience with both?

    Mazda. Steering, AT transmision & engine.. Day & night ang difference. Build quality, Mazda pa rin. Space lang lamang ng Ciaz.. Kung space gusto mo eh much better get the vios or city.

    Personal preference, i think.

    i'm an ordinary driver-owner, and a toyota fan, because i have had good experience with its reputedly trouble-free ownership and ease of maintenance, even off-casa (banawe! heh heh.). toyota also has its sniggles, but i am willing to overlook it.
    you see kasi, i used to be an owner of a "non-toyota" car. and one day, as i was looking for a part, the shopkeeper sadly shook his head at me, saying "wala, ser". he then faced the next costumer, who said what he needed, and the keeper replied, "original, japan, o taiwan? kanan o kaliwa? pang-matagalan, o pang bayan seller? ilan gusto mo?" and inwardly, i said to myself, "ganyan ang gusto ko!"

    if you have no reason naman... perhaps you should try out the competition...?

    btw, i'm not on toyota's payroll, in any imaginable way.

    Agree! That is the greatest advantage of having a Toyota. My problem with Hyundai or Kia is that when my main source (Seiring) has no stock, it is often very hard to get what I need immediately. Sometimes placing an order takes weeks for the parts to arrive.

    Although matagal na tong comment doc, hehehe.
    But ngayon kaya na nagsulputan na mga online sellers, problem pa kaya to?
    Siguro yung mga newer brand kakapasok pa lang hirap pa maghanap ng piyeza.
    Pero dun sa mga matagal na dito na non-toyota, I think madali nalang makahanap online if wala sa suking talyer.

    Toyota is still the king when it comes to parts.

    Driving experience becomes a consideration if you are the type of person who likes to push the limits of your ride once in a while. However, if you drive conservatively and would not even consider pushing the tachometer to above 4k rpm, then I guess a car’s response and performance will not be important.
