The Kia rio, Mazda 2 and ford fiesta aren't supposed to be here.
Didn't include the Octavia because the design isn't much different than the last model, and the focus, cruze and Nissan versa wouldn't have gotten any votes.

LOL you stink!

Also why you put up the Jetta with the sheity LED headlights? Look for a Euro Jetta. The american one looks like a slower brother.

Kia Rio, Ford Fiesta and Mazda 2 are subcompacts so I understand

But the Octavia had a redesign in 2009 and who is say that the Corolla, Focus, Cruze, Sylphy, etc. wouldn't get votes?

And I aint a Mazda hater, I have one and it aint all that superb.

Kia koupe!
Love that car.

Also the VW Jetta is nice.

Mazda 3 still looks like it wants to eat u. Elantra.. meh. Lancer.. meh. New civic.. Meh to the power of infinity

Guess i'd have to add the Kia to my list, after a second look.

The best designed cars overall, still came between 2000-2007/8 though, imo.

DSM_05 · Postby **DSM_05** » July 6th, 2012, 9:49 am

Elantra, Cerato, Civic in that order.

I think I messed up in the Octavia honestly, I should have included it in the poll/thread but the Toyota corolla and the ford focus definitely have not earned it's place in a thread about car designs.

corolla is the most boring car ever

Elantra looks like a rodent.

If you want to make a good comparison you should list all the sedans. How about the Audi A4 and the Mercedes C class or the BMW 3series. I love the new BMW and Audi lineup. Exceptional design and quality

Allergic2BunnyEars · Postby **Allergic2BunnyEars** » July 6th, 2012, 6:14 pm

Better comparisons would be price bracketed compact sedans. I expect an a4, 3 series and c class to look better than the cars in the poll. Why? Because they cost the same as a small house :/

pyung99 · Postby **pyung99** » July 6th, 2012, 6:35 pm

d poll list decent. jes dat ppl votin on general specs of d car, wen i think op wanted to focus on looks.

imo elantra looks like sheet!

Allergic2BunnyEars · Postby **Allergic2BunnyEars** » July 6th, 2012, 8:30 pm

I feel people voting on what they own!

Stephon. · Postby **Stephon.** » July 6th, 2012, 8:41 pm

I expected the VW to come first though, and I do agree that people are voting on the brand that they own, not much people own a Mazda 3 so it has the least votes, even though it's the best designed vehicle currently in Trinidad and Tobago.

I KNOW you didn't type that with a straight face?

Even your sig bias---> Mazda 3 For Life!.

^^What makes it the best designed Stephon? To me, that sounds like you're just saying that cuz you have two of their offerings.

I admit it'll be the best handling out of that list - Mazda sure know how to makes cars that are a joy to drive. But other than that, I find the trim level of the local Mazda 3 to pretty unspectacular. The seats are nice, but there's better (Cerato! Jetta!) And the 3's engine is so harsh on the ears (Jetta sounds so much nicer!)....sounds like it's dying once you cross 4k rpm....yikes!

Plus ...it's over 200k for the base model (Cerato is still under 200k, and has more to offer IMHO)....and the Elantra has much more mid range punch (relatively speaking) that the wheezy powerplant in the Mazda 3.

Having a better design than every other vehicle in it's class doesn't come cheap, come on now!

Not just the Mazda 3, but Mazda in general!

Mazda vehicles in general have always been ahead of it's time. The CX-5 is probably the best SUV in the market, in it's class. Maybe I should make a new thread. CX-5 vs Sportage vs Tucson vs Rav-4 etc.

Then again the CX-5 is new so not many people own it, so the results would be very similar to this thread, it would get the least votes because people do not own the brand even though it is a clear winner.

You have started trolling again.

I'm not joking though, tell me what other SUVs out right now (in the same range) has one up on the CX-5
