No other car in the class beats it in terms of pricing while offering the best drive and feeling of luxury in its class. That is where it is focused on and Mazda hits it spot on. Try to make a list of compact cars and compare their equipment and pricing as well and see which one is the better buy even if you exclude the intangibles.<br /><br />Paired with the local Mazda distributor, they offer competitive pricing and equipment that if you compare to the other compacts, it lags behind them in pricing and equipment. <br /><br />That said, the greatest weakness of the 3 is interior space, which wouldn't bother most average sized Filipinos unless you sit at the back and more than 5'10 in height. <br /><br />In terms of the cons, the greatest possible con is the failure of the battery due to the istop in 2 years of usage. While you guys argue that expensive Panasonic battery is a major sting in our wallet, the tried and tested Amaron alternative works well, negating that con. If you use istop all the time during those 2 years, the 5k worth is well compensated by the fuel savings. <br /><br />Hate? Isn't it you Civic guys that boasts from years back till now that the Civic is the best? I'm just stating that the Mazda 3 is the better buy than your Civic unless you sit in the back all the time. <br /><br />And then there's this argument from you that the Civic's resale value is better and the maintenance is cheaper. Have you ever checked the maintenance costs of the Civic in the period of 5 years in the Casa? Compared to the Mazda 3's free of cost due to Yojin. <br /><br />And btw, we now follow a depreciation formula when you resell your car. Only uneducated folks would buy a 5 years old Honda Civic for 60% of the original price.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7521223446245210239.post-72533851960975481052018-02-27T16:01:27.109+08:002018-02-27T16:01:27.109+08:00Who's ass would he kiss when you're hiding...Who's ass would he kiss when you're hiding under an anonymous account?

It's also a good way to get unfiltered feedback about the ownership experience of their cars. Believe me, they've gotten some tips from my long-term experience in order to improve their aftersales.<br /><br />This is a great program and while I don't know if other brands will follow suit (or if Mazda will ever do this again), but it's a good way to get continuous feedback from experts as long as they're honest about everything.
