Perched quietly in the province of Pampanga is a humble little Chinese dealership that goes by the name of Haima. Unknown to most, they've been in the Philippines since January 2010 and operates under the management of the multi-car brand network of the Laus Auto Group.

Starting at P699,000 for the basic manual transmission model, the Haima 3 also comes with a full-on package. The top of the line SDX variant is equipped with 16-inch rims, a sunroof, cream leather seats, pearl black transmission tunnel trim, USB/AUX connection, leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and chrome accents on the doors and dashboard.

Hmmm... time to visit Pampanga.
The one thing the Mazda3 really lacked was a manual transmission option. And I like the lower, ***ier look of the Haima3 a lot.

They also have a dealership in Bulacan near our house. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. Although four door sedans in general are not really my cup of tea.

What about safety ratings? Are they exactly the same as Mazda's?
I've heard a lot of bad feedback on Chinese metallurgy; that it's not yet up to par.
Be careful with channels like "China Observer" on YouTube. There is a clear bias in their posts and...
