Civic vs Altis vs Mazda 3

[ralfale]

DHOC is that the same engine as elantra and Avante?

I would choose either Ceebic or Mz3.

Judging by features and of course since I'm driving a Mz3 now, I would prefer the Mz3.

If u asked me civic->mz3->altis

Not really, Ceebic also wins in the looks department IYAM.

Ceebic is also considerably smaller in frame size opposed to Mz3, which makes it sleek and nice to drive.

Down side is, Ceebic is still on DOHC engine, which is >10years old, you're paying much more for the R&D of the design, over the engine which probably ROI since they finished selling FD1s.

I think civic n altis is using cvt too.

Civic is cool looking and the price is second lowest among this three model. But also really depend on what the owners really want.
I just find the Thailand sedan series from bm is really out to chop carrot. I rather get elantra than altis

You find DOHC outdated?
Pray tell what valvetrain you find up to date?

Civic for me. Newest model, more road presence. Sheet metal design is subjective, some dig it, some hate it, for me it is still okay, at least slightly nicer than the Mazda3 and significantly nicer than Altis (sorry Toyota fanbois).

Personally, I find the Mz3 too common. Interior wise, both are quite on par.. Civic and Mz3. Performance, at this segment, you can't expect too much, they are very similar.

Tot civic is ard 15k more than m3?

Really depends on needs.

Styling vs practicality vs price

Since you only compare jap cars then the price diff wont be too much. It's about what is your priority. Obviously Mazda sure win in looks department.

Like I said, there are many options for around the same prices. It depends a lot on factors, given cars only live for 10 years, the lesser the spec, the lesser the features, means lesser ECUs, mean able to live longer cos more reliable.

Definitely not DOHC for sure.

If you bring in 1.5T, due to price differences, can compare with other models other than Mz3 and Altis liao.

Thxs everyone for the feedback.

Haven’t test drive the cars as yet. Perhaps I’ll also go read up on Mazda 6. I do think that fuel consumption would also be another point I’ll take into consideration. Driving a Jetta and I agree the boot is huge, the seats are kinda crap and it’s not as fuel efficient as Japanese cars.

I’m not willing to invest that much in an Mpv. So probably will stick to a sedan car

 

[trento]

M6 different price point

Honestly, FC is something that's overhyped these days.

People worry too much about FC. If wanna worry, don't get a car.

 

[HeadQuarters]

Every 300km or 500km need to palm full tank does matter

FC really plays a part especially your driving mileage is high.
Last time driving 2L mpv.Now driving 1.5L sedan.
Suddenly l feel so rich.Every month can save few hundreds on petrol, lol..

That's when you have a vast difference if numbers. If you're comparing 13km/l and 14km/l.

Those numbers are pretty negligible. Lots of factors contribute to FC, so it depends lots.

Want power then no FC , want FC then no power simple as that
