A/C loud doesn't matter, drive axia till now, no feeling if its very loud,yea fuel consumption is important..

Mazda2 sedan mana ada 75k. Unless you talking about used car la

I'm driving Mazda2 now, so gonna review to you:
Pro:
- Very sharp handling. Basically you won't get better at this price range
- Slightly above average fuel consumption

Cons:
- Space is shit. I'm 160cm + kaki pendek and the driver cabin feels just about right to me. If you taller/bigger then kesian la you or your passenger
- The blind spot is more obvious due to the pillar's design
- Aircond tak sejuk sangat compared to other cars. Kalau you tint your car, no problem la
- Acceleration is below par. 0-50 feels just a tad heavy in the default mode

Even though I wrote more cons than pros, I still wouldnt trade my car to other car at this price range

What do you mean by "Distance travel 3-4 times a month"? How far is this travel? 100km?10km?

From kl to sg or penang

How much is mazda 2 sdn? I saw brochure selling 72-75k for both sdn n hatchback low spec? Btw those cons really quite cons to me.....

For practical...Almera will not go wrong.

For stylist...then Mazda 2 it is. @red4900 is very right on the review...

loud is outside, inside cannot hear
i'm 160cm also and not small sized, interior is roomy for me

Why Almera? The body is not sturdy enough. It's the least sturdy among the B-segment cars. Also, it's due to be phased out/wholly upgraded soon.

Mazda is a better buy. If you're 180cm then tough luck.

Cons:
New vios: Subpar acceleration / cramp interior space (better than Mazda 2)
City: Fit & finish, service center getting worst
Kia Rio: Underpowered 1.4L
Persona: Awkward design, less fuel efficient.

oh wow there's mid spec now

non-LED is 76k OTR lol. dulu ada satu model satu pricing je

so if for that price is consider worth?

Previously i keep check on Aruz, Mazda 2, Vios and Almera..... den Aruz i not so confidence getting it and new vios to me is not very nice......more prefer previous version...so left almera and mazda 2 in list.....and so ask for opinion from all because i don't have much knowledge on car

almera

for the boot space cause i put everything on car, my sports shoes, badminton racquet etc

and since its so basic that when things are basic they don't spoil easily, aircond i follow the regular service, so ok for me

mazda i cant comment

but for this price point i dont really care about the handling, nvh etc as long as it doesn't anyhow break down on the road

Almera space really a plus point. even bigger compared to vios. Even comparable to my civic. Mazda maintenance confirm higher than almera by quite a margin.
Speaking as my bro having almera and my elder sis hav mazda 3

I would go for Nissan due to bigger cabin and easy maintenance plus I believe Nissan Toyota and Honda engine better than Mazda as long as u take care the maintenance and cheaper too.

i wouldn't suggest almera due to how unsafe and outdated the car is. only plus point to me is the bigger space, which if you are single/ without kids then you wont be utilizing it anyway.

if your main priority is the space, then go with almera as i dont think theres other alternative.

consider city? good enough interior space, powerful, good cruising capability, superb fc and better handling for sure than almera

almari black edition with apple carplay

If you want almera space but think the almera design is ugly, perhaps can consider Honda City?

Honda City good ah? i mean overall performance
