They are basically the same car. Same chassis but not sure if the engine is of the same series

[Acemundo]

err.....everyone has different priorities mah.

 

some wants a car just to move around.

 

some wants a car that can make heads turn.

 

some buys a car thinking about reselling it (ie resale value)

 

some buys a car to tackle impressionable girls

Corolla handling sucks big time CMI huh ...

 

Looks is always up to individual. Believe car buyers factor in lots of considerations before buying. Appealing looks, responsive engine, big boot, spacious interial, blah blah blah

[Acemundo]

errh.....not too bad leh corolla handling.

 

yes......i do believe everyone is different in their taste also. and also most of them went thru the decision process.

 

but i do believe there are some sunny and corolla buyers (no offence to anyone) that perhaps did not went through a rigorous evaluation process cos some feels that because so many pple buy it, it can't be a wrong decision.

Handling sucks big time for me ... and I'm not going to do anything about it...keke Ah pek liao, go slower liao

 

One man's treasure is one man's trash

 

Maybe that's one of the consideration

If a 'friend' got good comments on the car he owns, would you consider it?

[Bryanho]

hi,

 

currently considering Altis or M3.

 

anyone driving a Altis has any comments to share ?

For a moment, I thought if anyone would want to compare a BMW M3 to an Altis?! Then again, I realised it's a Mazda, a Mazda 3 and a M3 is a world apart.. If I were to compare the Altis to the mazda 3, I would take the latter as it is made is japan.

serious meH? personally i felt that corolla handling is ok.......but then again, i only had a short test drive.

 

yes of course i would consider it.....but really hor, some of these people are not even buying bcos their friend say good......but more because its a toyota or nissan...ie they only go for those particular brands.

[Spoon]

btw...what's the selling price of the m3 ah?heard it is not very competitive as compared to the other jap cars

[Acemundo]

$77888.

 

frankly speaking though its high, i don't think its fair comparision at this stage against other jap cars

[Orangie]

The rear of the M 3 does not sit 3 ppl comfortably leh The cockpit is very appealing

 

Frankly, I'll give that hippo a miss (my 2 cts)

The Mazda 3GT looks good on paper...wanna go test drive?

[Orangie]

Ya, sad to say that brand names do sell

Ppl are flocking into showrooms like TC, BM and now ZZ. I'm one of them

[Orangie]

Got the sadan Lux, Sport, RS (I think)

Also hatch GT and GTS

[Orangie]

Was there yesterday Many ppl Been drooling over the red Sport model Din test drive that

Would love to test drive. When?

[Bryanho]

I must admit I'm a "victim" of "made in Japan" Right now I drive a Toyota Corolla NZE121, and I think that it serves its purpose an a car. It can carry 3 people behind.. but in this case, I'll take the Mazda 3 Alternatively, I'll buy the Nissan Sunny-Functional.

[Orangie]

Me in a 3ZZ-FE. Till date, serve me well as a car

Sunny.. price function

Was surprised with the FC of my bro's 1.5 M ex-sunny having 14km/l

[Toybabe]
