1.6L Civic FD - 72k - 125bhp from it's ivtec engine..

1.8L Civic FD - 79k - 140bhp...lagi better...

and you get 5 speed auto for both civic models..

When the previous Mazda 3 was newly launched, it was selling at about $78k... That was about 5 yrs back, if I recall correctly. Subsequently, the price dropped to about $50k+... Mazda tends to have high price for new launch models, and it will drop tremendously after a yr or two. Think the same will happen for the current Mazda 3.

2 reason I can think of.

 

1) Mazda always sell their new car at a high price

 

2) Yen rising so the OMV high

While it is true that newly launched cars usually command a premium. But this pricing is a bit too much.

 

As for the previous Mz3.....COE was very much higher than...it was over $20k. Yet it could be sold at a high $70k. Now with a lower COE, lower import tax, etc....the new one is selling at almost the same amount. [sweatdrop]

 

But again...maybe the AD know something we don't and I'm sure there will be quite a few willing buyers.

hmmm ... 76k is Civic price, have to compare Mazda 3 OMV against Civic OMV to make a fair comparison. my guess is Civic has the higher OMV.

76k i rather do golf or Jetta...... or even Civic...... top up a few k, maybe got chance to hit camry.... lol

 

Agree, I might as well spend on a Jetta, at least it is a Continental car, what is Mazda? Anyway, Mazda Motors really have bad service, not even interested to get a Mazda because of the lousy agent. [thumbsdown]
