Guys quick question lang. My cousin is on a hunt for a 2nd hand mazda 3. Question is ano ba ang tawag sa Low - Mid - Top variant nang mazda 3? Yun V variant nga ba ang pinaka mababa?
Hope some one would shed some light, thanks!

Easiest way to distinguish is through the rims.

Low end 1.6S variant has 15" rims. Mid-range 1.6V variant has 16" rims. High-end 2.0R variant has 17" rims.

Aling gen yan sir? Kung yung 1st gen na mazda 3, it should not cost higher than 550k. If yung 2nd gen, I think its reasonable, pero baka pwede pa tawaran.

Can't really tell though, but I think they have the same engine. Only the 3rd gen has the skyactive. That said, I bet they will have the same consumption.

mas matipid theoretically ang 2nd gen (smiley) because of the following:

lower drag coefficient - 0.275 (Gen2) vs. 0.29 to 0.31 (Gen1)
transmission - 5 speed AT (Gen2 2.0) vs. 4 speed (Gen1 2.0)

mejo maliit nga lang yung effect nya so same as sir leo said, i think they will have roughly the same consumption
mas mag-ma-matter p rin jan yung driving habit

by the way, I have a 2nd gen and my ave. consumption over 10k mileage is 9.0km/l (80% to 90% city)
