Damaz6052 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) I am looking at buying a new car and I am undecided between the Corolla or a Mazda 3. The Corolla seems to be better than the Vios. Any thoughts Thanks Edited October 7, 2008 by Damaz6052 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaz6052 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I went for the Altis Sport and I'm really happy with it.... What size motor what do you like about and why not a Vios? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashacat Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Vios engine is too small for me and the cabin feels a bit pokey and plasticy, although I wouldn't say it is a bad car. In fact I think the Vios is pretty good value for money. The Altis sport is 1.8. Edited October 7, 2008 by ashacat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilDrSomkid Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I am looking at buying a new car and I am undecided between the Corolla or a Mazda 3. The Corolla seems to be better than the Vios. Any thoughts Thanks I got a 2002 Altis 1.8 vvt-i (red i) as a rental. Goes like stink. Fuel consumption on 91 benzin is approx: 440-550km on 36-40 liters. Cruising at 140-150 is no problem. The handling and brakes are quite good too. I would get the sport package if this means a lower and stiffer ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure they do the Sport package any more. Very nice car. No problems whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouse Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I have a Mazda 3 and all I can say is good car, great comfort, powerful engine and good resale value. Definitely a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thais don't like Corollas cos they are used as taxis. So resale might be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who, me ? Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Thais don't like Corollas cos they are used as taxis. So resale might be an issue. May I disagree with you on this..... The exact opposite applies. Thais like Corolla, as they are used by taxis. They are proven reliable cars, easy to maintain, with a good resale value...

Plus Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Mazdas, on the other hand, do not have reputation for reliability and comfort. For some reason Mazda 3 is not used as a taxi, though there are plenty of older models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
