Hi all, does anyone familiar with Suzuki Swift Sport ZC32 and Mazda 3 MPS?
Are these 2 cars easy to maintain and reliable? Is there any problem?
I am considering between these 2 models recently. Thank you

If you're looking for the hot version iinm it is ZC32S is a 1.5NA with 6speed manual gearbox.
Where the MPS is a FF 2.0 turbo also manual.

Both are in different categories of space, spec, and speed.

However, the SSS on paper would be cheaper to maintain as it doesn't have anything fancy.
Though checkout local workshops around you before committing as Swift numbers decline after the brand pulled out of the country spare parts prices are going up or not available.

Hi, thank you very much for your reply. i had asked some people around that saying the spare parts still not difficult to find.
Just that i have more concernt on the reliability
While for MPS i heard that it has reliability issue but i am wondering is it true that's why would like to get more opinion.
Thank you

1. Brand : Japanese
2. Budget : 145K
3. New/Used/Unreg : Doesn't matters.
4. Specs : -
5. Transmission : Prefer auto/ manual if possible, kinda worry on CVT
6. NA or FI :
7. Type : 4 seater.
8. Remarks : 1st choice: sedan, second: SUV, hatchback

Curretly in my list:
1. new Civic( concern on steering rack, suspension issues. and CVT reliability)
2. used Mazda 3 sedan, year made 2021 onwards( a bit pricey for its range)
3. new CX-30 ( lack of advance safety features for this price range)
4. used Lexus IS250 year made 2013-2015 (a lot of saying Lexus is realible but still have concern on repair cost and maintenance due to it is luxury car)

My first choice would be Mazda 3 sedan but it is quite rare and I feel a bit overprice in the used car market now although their new car is higher price too.
I prefer to get a car that allow me to enjoy driving but at the same time I might need to bring my parents out on weekend activities.

Also i would like to know is it safe to buy used Lexus that is around 10 years old?

Hi, thank you for replying.

Thank you for your suggestion, i did consider to get this Harrier previously but i thought Harrier maintenance is quite high, I mean like after all it is a 250k to 300k car.

Hi, thank you so much for your guide. Will definitely consider it
Have a nice day
