Hey guyz..
i was about to book for a new honda civic Lxi (AUD 54000) and the agency told dat i will hav to wait for nother 3 months to get it delivered..
so now i booked for a mazda 3 V grade (AUD 54500) -
v grade comes with alloys, spoilers, fog lamps, dual air bags, bsa, and all such stuff which i culdnt find on 2006 civic lxi...
but wen civic gives an output of 140 bhp mazda 3 gives only 107 bhp
so wat do u guys say abt dis.....

Well, it is not an easy choice, but the question you have to ask is:
Looks or performance? If looks = Mazda 3
performance = Civic
in the choices you have given above.
294bhp of sheer V6 Jap pleasure.
In Canada the fully loaded Mazda 3 GT come with a 2.3L 160 HP engine, 18" alloys, leather, moonroof, triptronic or manual tranny, etc....
The car here is just a shadow of its Canadian counterpart.

I dont agree....
Mazda 3 'V'Grade (AUD 54500/-)
Fog lamps
Telescopic /tilt steering
bsa
Dual Air bags
spoilers
alloys
4 speakers
electric mirrors
streptonic transmission
stereo controls on steering
Honda Civic LXi (AUD 54000/-)
No fog lamps
No Telescopic steering
No bsa
No Dual Air bags
No spoilers
No alloys
2 speakers
No electric mirrors
No streptonic transmission
No stereo controls on steering
So thought of sacrificing some BHP for these....
Wat do u say now...

i guess u shld chk the market for the resale, and if options r only reason then i suggest u shld go for cherry (made in china) they offer much more then mazda in tht price like leather, sunroof .. and if u pay them some extra they even give u 2 screen's in the rear and a dvd player ... think abt it ... take care
