Subaru XV 2017 vs Mazda CX3 2017

[ale828]

Hello! Tho di affrcted ang Mazda sa excise tax,

Can i ask why Mazda units won't be affected by the Excise Tax?

I will choose the subaru XV than the Mazda cx3. since mazda released the CX-3 i barely see any on the road. But the subaru XV i see a lot of them everywhere.

Mazda is moving PH-destined CX-5 production to Malaysia to take advantage of the zero tariffs from AFTA: Mazda Moves Production of Philippine-Market CX-5 to Malaysia; Makes It Immune to Excise Tax Increase | ************ - Philippine Car News, Car Reviews, Car Features, Car Buyer's Guide and Car Prices.

The CX-3 is small on the inside. The front row seats are great but the passengers in the rear will feel claustrophobic. You get 3 years of free PMS though.

The Skyactiv 2.0 6AT feels quicker than the 2.0 boxer CVT. Heck my 1.5 Mazda 3 feels quicker than the XV.

The XV has better sight lines, a bigger interior, and a taller ride height. Those are the major reasons why my wife chose the XV.

Go and test drive.

The XV and Forester 2.0L NA (CVT) are not comparable to Subie's turbo models in terms of quickness. Mazda's 2.0L SkyActiv models are a bit quicker.

The CX3 is almost the same in terms interior space as the Mazda2. It is smaller than the Mazda3 which is not also on the big side compared the Civic or Altis.

As JohnM has suggested, give both cars a test drive before deciding.

Same dilemma, pero inalis ko na sa choices ko yung CX-3. Sobrang hindi practical.

Better comparo would be CX-5 base vs XV totl (I like them toys and safety features).
