The Mazda 3 gets poor fuel consumption. It averages, I think 7 - 8km/l in pure city driving, and, though I`m not sure ... it could be as low as 6km/l.

If your sister doesn't have a family yet, maybe she could opt for the Mazda 2 SEDAN since, we all know that girls and some boys just loves to go to the grocery and buy A LOT of stuff, which I presume wouldn't fit in the luggage allocation for the Mazda 2 HATCHBACK.

i own a m2 sedan m/t. if your sister will drive a manual transmission, mas hamak na mas mura siya sa m3. mas maliit ang m2 for parking ease and mas magaang sa m3 (so more fuel efficient).

If your sis really wants the Mazda3, let her get the 3! I have a mazda 3 also and some of my friends are 3 owners also. We're not impressed with the new smiling look of the 2nd gen. 3. But the new 3 side view is better and I also like the two tiered instrument panel(Honda-like) new interiors.

The 3 which is already 6 years old(introduced way back 2004) can still stand-out in looks department in and out in its segment.

If fuel efficiency is also a consideration for your sister, she might as well
consider the 2 instead because of better FC in city driving based from latest car reviews.

I think the 2 and the current 1st gen 3 road handling capabilities are both fantastic.
