Hi Sifus,

Any Mazda sifus? Am planning to change a car within the budget of 90k.

But not sure which will be best for a 9 years usage and loan...

Which will you choose? Mind to share your opinions?

Choices for Mazda as below:-

1) 2014 Mazda 3 1.6 Sedan GLS (New)
2) 2015 Mazda 2 Hatchback/Sedan 1.5 SkyActiv (New)
3) 2012 Mazda 3 2.0 Hatchback GLS (Pre-Owned)

They are all around 90k budget...

Tqvm..

City better

1) Not worth the money, outgoing model and it's underpowered and not as fully speced as the 2.0 (might as well get a city)
2) Handsome looking car interior and exterior, worth to consider but nobody knows how it drives and feels as it is not launched yet. A contender with the City E spec (if I rememeber correctly).
3) Wow how lucky of you to be able to source a pre-owned unit.. or is this 2nd hand? But in any case, 2nd hand or pre-owned can be considered as well and I feel that you should only get it if power is something that you need, otherwise option 2 is sufficient.

Thx for your opinion.. the 3rd option is good but the mileage arnd 30-40k seems something to consider for 1 to 2 years.. any experience 2nd hand owner to comment?

In the meantime, i guess will wait to see the m2 out nxt week.. =)

The new 2015 Mazda 2's all new looks are already worth the price. The all-new looks of the Mazda 2 which follow the styling of the current Mazda 3, 6 and CX-5 front grille already render the current Mazda 2 look ugly and outdated in comparison.

New Mazda 3 coming soon around March, if you getting a old tech car after 2 years, its like you getting a new iphone 5 after 6 plus launched in the market~ Better get a New Mazda 2 or 3 better~

Tq for the feedback.. Shall be waiting for the M2 to come.. =)

i saw a mazda showroom with a big banner promoting the older mazda3 2.0
now giving 5 years warranty + 5 years free maintenance
not sure about the price

should be 1.6.. no more 2.0..

i'm currently having the 2010 mazda 3 1.6 model. it's super underpowered. the pickup is super slow i can even lose to a myvi. but top speed i've tried went to 190. but however i love performance more than looks. so i might be getting a 2nd hand car for power.
