Thread title: MAzda3 1.6 or City 1.5?

CarlocarAddict says:Toink , have you tried driving both cars? anyway i have to test both cars first before concluding. Pero if we base it sa design, I'd go for the Mazda 3.


Toink says:carlo, you dont have to test drive all the cars just to say that this is a better buy than the other. just basing at their technical specs you can differentiate which is which, look at this figures:

City 1.5 Vtec:
output: 109/5800 torque: 142/4800 wt.: 1083

M3 1.6 S:
output: 105/6000 torque: 145/4500 wt.: 1314

dont ask the enthusiasts like most of us here in motioncars who buy cars bcos they want it. try asking the common end-user, the majority of the practical people who buy cars just for their everyday use, bcos they need it (ever wonder why vios, city, 1.6 altis and civic flock our city streets?) let's face it cars will never be an investment nagde-depreciate ang value nyan but nonetheless, you can always make the most out of it or you can choose a brand that will give you a better resale value and one of the factors that determine a resale value is the number of sales that car made. well hopefully, if M3 can even match the sales Optra is enjoying then thats the only time i can say that M3 indeed is a good investment. but for NOW as empus is asking the city 1.5 for me is a sure and better investment.
