COMPARISON FOR A FEW MODEL .. HELP NEEDED ..

[Etnt]

Now that the focus is out, I find that the Mz3 appeal even less, but then again, I'm biased.

 

Got for the focus mk2, it's a nice car, only need to do something about the low-end.

hehe..i swear by the easytronic gear box.

 

anyway, at current prices, i think i will choose the astra over the megane or the focus (i am assuming focus omv around 18k)

Hi , i went for the ford focus launch and i find that it is quite a good vehicle .. however .. for a conti. car at this price .. i could get the opel astra or the renult megane ... can someone give me a full review of these 3 cars so that i can determined which is the best ?? Lastly .. does anyone know the omv price for these cars ?Thks in advance ..

 

 

all around 17-18k

take a look at c4, 25-28k omv i heard but more ex

[Mojoe]

woah... a good 10k lower than launch in just 12 months?? siong ah

[Mojoe]

okay let me correct myself.. ALL cars are over-priced here .. so the mazda3 now is less over-priced now than during launch

[Fireswan]

i thought megane omv is ard 21k and astra at ard 17k ???

[Acemundo]

this is still not too bad. the bad thing is the first batch pple pay 10k more, waited for 6-9 months before getting their car and driving it, by which time, the price has dropped something like 6k-8k. their peers who never jumped in the bandwagon would have saved 6k-8k and got their car only a few weeks later than them.

[Mojoe]

really? not for me leh... i think the mazda 3 sedan looks good and cost 7-8k cheaper.. the new focus's look grows on you... but not that fast a growth

[Fireswan]

yea ... like the astra 1.6l ... drop so much ... haiz ...

[Mojoe]

Somehow, I believe the comparison is biased towards Focus. Maybe that's why they are giving them out?

 

 

 

them english... last thing is to hear them say good things about the french and germans

[Mojoe]

and a few of us got "flamed" and probably termed as sour grapes here during the initial period, remember? they missed the whole point of our argument and not that the car is not good, but the AD is ripping people..

The Astra's OMV is close to 20k

[Acemundo]

hehe....yeah....

 

that's why "Fools rush in where angels fear to tread"

[Acemundo]

well, u can't have the best of all worlds.

 

u want to be the first few who owned it, gotta pay a bit of premium

Confirm, mazda3 definite got looks, esp the sports version , better interior too ... it's based on the same platform too... handling's quite sharp too

Did you also test the Citroen C4 when you are lookin for Conti car?

 

All cars (Megane, Astra, Focus & C4) are of NCAP 5 star ratings.

Mazda motors la, make pp pay for extra airbag (RS model)...

 

Main gripe is no manual, n they didnt bring in larger engine :p ...
