hello guys
i am headance about getting comparison about this three car.
withim my budget Mazda 3,Kia forte SX,Toyota altis 1.6E
value money and accesories: Forte SX
comfortable and brand,resale values: Toyota altis
brand and outlooking:Mazda 3
forte fans.please give me an advise about this car ,would you consider about the resale values?
1. if u wan buy cars other than Toyota and Honda, even Nissan, forget about resale value. Mazda and Suzuki's resale value also very low. A normal Suzuki Swift(High Specs 1.5, not Sport) cost around RM80++k to 90++k, for 2009 model only can sell half of the price(RM40++k, review from year 2011, not 2012), intake price even lower....same goes with Mazda. Resale value for KIA/Hyundai cars are the same as Suzuki/Mazda. So please if resale value is important to you, Toyota and Honda. Nissan's resale value not as good as Toyota and Honda, but better than Mazda/Suzuki/KIA/Hyundai, while maintenance wise is the cheapest among all.
2. For brand outlook, Mazda 3 still beats all the cars you've mentioned, but what turn me down on Mazda 3 is the technology, rear passenger space and height of the car. Looks great, better than Forte. But since now Mazda 3 and Forte are both CKD, is up to you to decide.
3. Accessories for Forte a.k.a. Poisons, alot. If you seriously in getting a Forte, then buy it. after owned it, join MFC website then you can see 'tons' of poisons for you that will make your mind 'poisoned'....
4. Comfortable wise, Mazda 3....as it's using Multi-link suspension, while Altis and others are using Torsion beam...don't know the difference?? Wikipedia 'em.
5. Seriously, value for money??? Perhaps Proton Preve?? more powerful more sensors. Forte will be next.
6. So far I've owned Forte(2010 4 spd 1.6SX), no major problem at all(except modification parts)....
