    Saw a sylphy parked in trinoma yesterday, my first time to see it outside the showroom and parked side by side with other cars, anlaki niya for its class. In my mind 19" or 20" rims lang ang isasalpak ayos na..and checking some pics by thailand sylphy club, gwapo nga pag naka mags at body kit.

    Since my EX is a few kilometers shy of reaching 50,000km, Im contemplating on trading it in.

    But since Mazda 3 is making waves, its also a very good contender.

    Sylphy is cheaper and has a smaller engine, medyo standard ang toys.

    Pass muna ko sa altis at civic...hindi ako na aarouse eh.

    +1 on this. If you want a relaxed ride, go with the Sylphy. If you want an engaging ride, go Mazda3.

    Another thought, are you willing to spend 200k more to get you a more engaging drive (plus the benefits of SkyActiv and Yojin3 promo)?

    Underrated nga yung Sylphy. It seems similar in size with the older gen mid-size sedans and legroom is abundant. Looks like a Lexus too with the Led lights and executive sedan stance. You get leather too with the sub 1M totl model. Plus it's 200k cheaper than the 3, heck that 1.2M price tag is Montero territory already.

    Does the Nissan still have Calsonic AC? Mahusay ang lamig ng Calsonic.

    Not sure about the new Nissan models but most of all Nissans come with Calsonic AC system. You can confirm from their dealers. Honda and Toyota use Denso AC systems.

    Yep, more responsive, sporty feel, better control. Like a Mazda6 or Accord is more engaging & responsive compared to a Camry or Sonata.

    engaging.
    it feels like the car is part of your body. it does anything you want it to do, easily, fast, and gracefully, with positive feedback.
    just like your arm.

    IMO kaya malamig a.c. ng nissan hindi dahil sa compressor... imo Dahil po dual and or malaki ang condenser ng nissan kahit car lang ito..

    If you want more toys + engaging drive, get the Mazda 3.

    Otherwise... get the Mazda 3.... Lol.

    But seriously, the build quality of the Sylphy, for me, is not up to par. I remember during MIAS, there was a Syplhy in the Autohub Booth. I opened and closed the doors and found them tinny.

    Mazda 3. It's a better engineered car.

    Since you're disposing your EX, I suggest the Mazda 3. Baka mamiss mo yung sportiness ng EX pag yung Nissan ang kinuha mo.
