Bachelor's ride

[glntVR]

mazda 3 na! tapos yung sukli samin na lang! haaha... joke lang. yung masasave mo na money pang gamitin mo na lang pang modify ng car! like sounds. suspension etc...

[chris_d]

given the choices, i would get the mazda 3, the accord is bigger and is more for executives, and other than the accord consider also the mazda 6!

[geode]

mazda 3 then ung extra cash bili mo nalang ng picanto ;)

[niky]

Mazda3 1.6 liter. Looks good, feels good, saves gas compared to an Accord (heck, even the 2.0 is fuel efficient... kapareho ng 2.0 Civic, at di lalayo sa Corolla), and the change you can put to your future house or car...

The only problem with the 3 is slightly low roofline in the back, but this won't matter for a bachelor. :D

[ghosthunter]

How about the Hyundai Coupe?
The base model sells for around P976K
(2.0 liter engine, manual tranny, no sunroof)

[knicks1204]

parehong maganda ung cars... pero... magkaiba nga ata ng class... i'd also go for the mazda 3...

[Bogeyman]

I'd say Mazda 3 na rin. Mainit siya ngayon e. It looks stylish compared to the Accord, and it comes in a more manageable size. Citing the experiences of my boss and officemate, mahal ang maintenance ng Honda.

Kaya lang--

The bad thing about a Mazda is that it has poor resale value. Paano kung maging pamilyado ka na, and you wouldn't need that bachelor car anymore...?

ghosthunter>> Tagal ko na ding pinaglalawayan yang Hyundai coupe na 'yan, lalo na nung naka-display sa Megamall. Wag lang sana kasama yung spoiler na nasa pic. Mukhang kariton eh, hehehe.

[baiskee]

OT: mababa pa rin ba resale value ngayon ng mazda? baka hinda siguro.

[pepengtom]

M3 siyempre! bagay na bagay sa bagets este bachelor pala

[niky]

Resale value should not be an issue... or at least a BIG issue on the Mazda 3. It's going to be backed by a Ford Group warranty that should at least see it through the next decade. I'm thinking that the WORST case scenario is devaluation in the Mitsubishi range... hopefully NOT in the Nissan range.

And BTW, maganda ngang choice ang Hyundai Tuscani, good looks, decent (decent lang, ha...) power... but if you're looking for sporty cars, a Lynx RS or a Honda 2.0 are better choices... and faster. :D

[cognoscenti]

Thanks for the quick replies. I'm in my early 30s that's why these are the 2 choices i'm looking into. Friends are advising me it would be riskier to go with the mazda. And there are some here who say the same. Is it really riskier? Would honda be the wiser choice?

[hagiber]

Mukhang mas practical choice nga ang Mazda 3 (from a short term and long term financial perspective) .. Anong risks kaya yung ibig sabihin nung friends mo?

[luckytruck]

eto nanaman ako, gen 2.5 pajero 4x4 slightly used, 1.2 million pesos.

still a status symbol (iba pa rin ang naka-SUV versus a compat sedan), maporma, kung ang chicks mo nakatira sa malubak o mabahang lugar, kayang-kaya mo sunduin. Pwedeng pwede pang road trip with your single friends. diesel. if you do start a family, shoot na shoot. if you take up outdoor sports/activities, di ka mabibitin.

when i was in college i had a sedan, and god knows how many times we overloaded it to go to Anilao, tagaytay, subic and baguio.

being a bachelor is about enjoying and exploring the world and finding your place in it, that's what the pajero will allow you to do. plus you will not have to sell it when you want to start a family

'O nga no? Man, kahit hindi Mitsu. Meron akong officemate na single, he drives a 1st gen Toyota Rav4 Fun Cruiser. Car-like interior with SUV clearance.

Having a "go anywhere, anytime" attitude is a hallmark of the ideal bachelor, so dapat mag-reflect yun sa sasakyan na kukunin mo. To borrow a line from Isuzu, "Life is too big for cars." :-)

[luckytruck]

very well put bogeyman. kaming mga bacelor dito sa probinsya, pick-up or SUV talaga, para kahit saang sulok, pwede

pero according to a friend, di kasya ang expedition sa ibang drive-in hehehehe

SKYLINE!!!!!













or mazda 3

[ale828]

buy a second hand Z3. binata ka pa naman. this is the only time you will ever get to have fun driving a convertible and sports car(without someone bugging you). Use it. when you get married, you will end up buying some practical van because your wife says so. but mazda 3 for your choice if you cant get a BMW Z3.

i now have a family and am still 'enjoying and exploring the world'
like never b4, added responsibility is the only diffrence between being a bachelor and a family-man, and we have a lot of them within ourselves

mazda 3 may be at par in some aspects, but i still choose the perennial leader ACCORD.

Like mazda said, mas mura ang mazda 3 pero roomy ang accord.
unless na ang importante space then you should go for honda.

There are a lot of opinion about which is better and which is not.

I dont see any risk at all. if they are talking about retail value. well all cars goes down rapidly when it comes to depreciation.

I would rather go for practicallity rather than looks. And choose which is more practical for you.
