JaseTheBass Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Mazda and Ford are the same just with different badges. You are prepared to spend nearly 1 mil on a Ford Focus but only 500,000 on a Toyota. Do a lot of research on vehicles built in Thailand before you commit. He's not looking for a truck. No current Mazda saloon car made here is based on a Ford.You must be a Ford owner. Sorry to hear that. Hows the after sales care? Ford looking after you? Didnt think so. Very well actually. Ford HO have made an effort to get in touch and see that we're happy, the saleman at the dealership is always responsive and has done good job to make sure I got and continue to get good deals. I guess he must have been poached from Dullota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereolab Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Yaris should be sufficient and you never go wrong with a Toyota, parts, reliability and resale....the latest Yaris looks quite nice. My friend is happy with his and being a passenger it seemed like a spacious and comfortable enough car for your needs. Honda Jazz is another popular one. As mentioned the tax brackets are changing in he new year but on smaller cars you may save 10k or so. 2nd hand values do not hold anymore as they used to so no point in spending more than needed. Visit the showrooms and have test drives if possible. The new style Yaris looks a wee stunner, in thr right colour. We currently have a Mazda 2 which has been an excellent runner, both in town,on the motorway and in the soi, never had a problem with it. I am 6' tall and can get in and out without a problem, I would recommend it wholeheartedly. If money no object, I would also consider the Mazda 3 which looks very stylish.

username1 Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 (edited) Off topic and might need a new thread for this, but one question came in to my mind regarding BMW/Benz or any other expensive car in Thailand. Would you consider it dangerous to show you have money to buy a car like that? Edited October 21, 2015 by username1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denby45 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I remember one guy in Belgium telling me " Don't buy a Mazda because the spares are expensive." Guess what I didn't need any spares. Cost me nothing. Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexRRR Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 1st choice should be Japanese if you can't afford Merc and BMW, so the 2 Fords are out, any of the 3 others would be a good solid buy...me id go the 3 town or country no problem and use that bit more space for a growing family.The budget is flexible, but is there a reason to stretch it to 2-3M just to get a MB / BMW? I'm unsure what benefits these offer other than the status of owning a more expensive brand... I can't believe some members here... the guy wants to buy a car for his family and members spew ridiculous advice like take Uber (is it even legal <deleted>), walk, and even get a bike... did you muppets forget your meds this week?? <deleted>???!! I'd suggest to get the car with the highest possible seating position so you have plenty of visibility all around. Mazda makes great cars, but I've noticed the Mazda 3 has a super long nose, which may be an issue for you in regards to navigation Haha, there's some great advice in the thread! That's true regarding Mazda 3 nose, I'd say that the highest seating position would be in HR-V suggested. Bmw are just better made spend less on repairs if you keep it long time, I've owned 2 I know what I'm talking abour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LukKrueng Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'd go with a Toyota or Honda. Best at keeping the value for reselling when you want to replace the car. Had a civic 1.8 L for 2and a half years, lost less than 200K in value when sold it (about 20%). Have a Ford now, wanted to replace but after less than 2 years lost over 40% of the buying value...

Four competitors - Holden Commodore, Mitsubishi Magna, Ford Falcon, Toyota Avalon. As one braver writer said, you had to be a corpse before you qualified to drive an Avalon. The COTY was won by the Commodore. In terms of cost, you could buy a Magna AWD for the same price as a Commodore, and it wasn't even considered. Mitsubishi marketed it so poorly it went out of production a couple of years later. It was streets ahead of its competitors in terms of handling and safety, and years ahead in terms of technical excellence. It later became the used car bargain of the decade with depreciation.

umbanda Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Around 600K the best buy will be a 2015 Honda Jazz or City 1.5 for a small car, roomy and powerful. Good resale value and many good used ones on the market. The 2015 Ford Fiesta sedan 4 doors automatic 1.5 still selling for under 500K. But service and resale value are not very good. The 2015 Nissan Almera 1.2 for about 500K may be a good buy for the money, but resale value in Nissan is not so good like Honda and Toyota. The Toyota Yaris 1.2 for about 550K is a nice car, but is not competition to the Honda Jazz, in space and power. Over 750K there are a lot of good options, if you wants to spend that kind of money. Be away of imported cars if you wants to be free of service troubles, and to pay more expensive insurance....but...sometimes... taking a risk in an imported second hand car can be very exciting experience..... if lucky. Even a 15 years old Mercedes Benz, Audi, or BMW, easy to find for under 400K, can beat easily a top of the line 2015 Honda or Toyota in every aspect. I still missing my 2000 Mercedes Benz 300 CD diesel station wagon I had in the US.....and very difficult to find here. Nobody will sell a good one. I sold mine for $8,000 in 2010...to move here.

After some thinking I've come to decision to buy safer car even if it costs more. The fact is that driving in Thailand is quite dangerous and extra safety might be worth it.

There were actually some very good cars produced in Australia. Nissan Pulsar, Holden Monaro ( if you like muscle cars ), and the Magna AWD. The real problem was 5 vehicle manufacturers competing in a country with a population of 20 million people, and doing it with high labour costs. Economy of scale just wasn't there. When you compare Thailand's tariff of 100% on imported vehicles with Australia's zero tariff, fairly obvious what's going to happen The optimal solution would have been just one vehicle manufacturer ( definitely not Ford based on past performance ) in Australia. The economic dries have won the day, so in 3-5 years time I'm predicting a lot more coffee shops and door to door salespeople. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the little information I have and AFIK the CX 3 will have up to 6 airbags, depending on the version. Which other safety features have been taken out? I don't know, and as we will be getting something in the future I am very interested in this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
