Buying a car (showroom), can't decide

Postby rumbelly » January 27th, 2016, 9:27 am

So, I'm on the market for a new car. I've been checking around for some time now, and I've whittled my choices down to the Kia Ceratto or Mazda 3.

I'm torn between the 2, they're both great with features and looks. Both engines have an octane rating that allow for super. Both are the same price.

As it is, I'm leaning slightly towards the mazda however, but I if anyone has any solid advice it would be appreciated (especially what negatives there may be).

I've had a mazda 3 and I now have a kia sorento. I say Kia all the way. If you interested I'm selling my 4x4 turbodiesel 2.2 PCS Sorento for around the same price as any of those cars.

Drove the Mazda 3 recently. The new model has come a long way from the previous generation; in terms of interior quality, looks, equipment etc. Driving dynamics haven't changed that much though - still under powered and jiggles over bumps on the highway. But judging from the responses in here you probably should go with the mazda - won't have any difficulty selling it in a few years.

So OP what did you decide on?

The cerato is for people who see driving as a chore and the mazda3 is for those who see driving as fun.

From a person who has had both and driven both... If you only had shrimp; how can you comment on the chicken.

Yup. My brother went to all car companies. Compared costs and vehicle pros and cons. He has one over a year. Regularly maintains it. Very economical on gas but still packs speed and power. Spacious, nice music system with bluetooth, suspension and handling is smooth. The ride isn't bad at all. Great braking power. Then there's the models with CNG.

I really don't trust Korean vehicles. Japanese, American, German, French, Italian, not Korean.

Honestly i like honda due to the parts, you can get genuine parts both locally and foreign without much hassle.
they tend to have limited problems to almost none, most problems are with suspension due to bad roads, simple fix
