Forget the Sentra, the most boring in the class. Siguro nga kung ayaw mo ng Civic, ayaw mo rin ng Lancer eh di Mazda 3 ka na nga pero wala lang siguro in this day and age nakakahinayang na bumili ng Mazda 3 (its old, and its specs are not up to the competition) maybe back in 2005 or 2006 it was a very good choice...
