Hey guys... I am perplexed between these four cars now

1) Honda Civic 1.8
2) Civic 1.5T Low & High Spec
4) Mazda 3 Low & High Spec
5) CX3

Only holdback for the Civic 1.5T is the potential turbo problem, was it a initial manufacturing defect or a hit and miss thing... I will be using this car mainly for daily commute to work to the city centre...

1.5T high spec is just for the LED lights right & 2 zones aircond.. Is it worth that premium?

I am pretty happy with my cx5 2.5 at the moment, hence the consideration for mazda...

Why are you downgrading your car from CX 5 2.5 to these 4? Just stay with it if you're happy with it.

cx-5 SUV to C Segment?  hmm.gif

If you ask in Civic forum, definitely people will ask you to go for Civic. Same goes with the Mazda etc. Have you test driven those cars? What do you want from these options? Space? FC? Sportiness?

Already enough SUV at home ma.. biggrin.gif

Space is not really a concern for me, Civic is more spacious but low seating position, mazda 3 is less spacious but better for old people getting out the car...

But looks wise, i prefer civic...

I have yet to test drive properly both cars la, only during launching, just tested for fun...

One of my concern of Honda Malaysia is their welding quality that IMO looks bad..

no car is perfect. If space is not a concern, then perhaps you should look at M3 high spec. They just recently launch the FL version. Looks wise, both M3 and Civic has it's own strong points. But on spec wise, M3 seems to be a tad better. In terms of NVH, I believe Civic is better than M3.

but Mazda 3 FL not in malaysia yet.... haiz

I really do like the Android Auto feature in the civic though

Bro, better go test drive both. All cars have their pros and cons. I settled on TC-P and never regretted having it. Yes there are a few niggling QA issues, but lemme know if you get a car which does not have any issues at all.

True true, even the CX5 lower arm bush still squeeks after replacement, also still not resolved, but live with it now

Not gonna hide the truth, with little 'hack' current mazda 3 can also enjoy Android Auto.
Android Auto it's gonna be in new up coming cars, like hyundai ionic gonna have it. Soon every car will have these feature.

P.S. i still can't find hack for our civic native app installation on our HU.

Icic... That's good to know, so it kinda make the mazda 3 infotainment more on the fair ground then... Cant wait to give both cars a thorough test drive

Civic and Mazda 3 although is same segment. But both satisfy different taste and preference.

I know cause I drove a Mazda 3 before.  cry.gif

Aha.... I better drive both then, may end up getting the civic to have different brands, but the mazda triumphs in the safety suite, i.e. RVM, Auto City Brake etc.

I ended up booking a 1.5V jazz, thanks all for the tips previously.. Perhaps a couple of years down the road, only then upgrade again, to continue enjoy using the 2.5 CX5 first smile.gif
