Hi guys, I'm torn between these 3 cars:

1. Mazda 3 2009
2. Honda City ivtec 2009
3. Proton Inspira 2011
Does anyone know the maintenance and ownership costs between them?

I have some rough idea about city and inspira's maintenance, but not so sure about mazda 3. (their fb group does seem to be accepting me in)

Which one will you go for? I'll be driving the car for 7 years if everything goes right smile.gif

base on your selection, i would say City is the best choice of the 3 imo.

1. Mazda3 2009, maintenance is definitely higher than City, 1.6 will be slightly underpower (for me)
2. City 2009, own a 2005 City for 8 years, running fine till i sold to change car, normal maintenance at honda SC bout 200-300, but do expect some parts need to be replace soon
3. Inspira , proton, no comment icon_rolleyes.gif

What about the regular service intervals for city 2009? Is it 5k or 10k?

recommended at 5k, but i only service at 8k, after the free service period, semi syn

I see. Is the cvt gearbox in the city something I should be wary about?

Or those problems only occur in vtec and idsi versions?

Btw, do you happen to own the honda city before? Which model? biggrin.gif

i own the idsi version, i have no major gearbox problem (atleast not tht i notice), just rmb to change ur GB oil when time comes

2nd hand dealer says it was abit cranky, i guess for normal driving, it shouldn't be a problem (or he is trying to get a better deal)

i've sold the car to my uncle, 9years counting~
