How's the Mazda3 fare against the Civic/Corolla? Wanting to buy a reliable car, maybe used, and Honda/Toyota is generally more expensive in that market. Also I think they look better. I've heard good things about them but my mechanic friend told me today that they are shit.
not nearly as nice as the Kia K4 and its basically a decade old and they have shown they are totally unwilling to update it at all
>>28911529>not nearly as nice as the Kia K4Hahaha! Yeah, right.>its basically a decade old and they have shown they are totally unwilling to update it at allYep, its proven reliable. It'll be a fine reliable cheap commuter as opposed to a fucking Kia.
>>28911545just drive them both and get back to meyes, the mazda is a better steer, but the suspension is rougher and its overall like driving a much cheaper, older car with less well programmed softwarekias are reliable as fuck
>>28911547>softwareYou should kill yourself immediately
>>28911548my car drives itself on the highwaywe have the technology, you choose to ignore it because you've never tried it and don't grasp how useful it iswhat a primitive monkey!
>>28911551>fucking my wife? I have a pool boy for that, I haven't had to have sex myself for years. You just don't understand what a great timesaver it is
>>28911525Used? They're a top-tier option if you need an econobox. You'll get a better deal on one than you would on a used Civic or Corolla. They're super reliable. Feels good to drive, with no CVT and good steering. Should be cheap to insure.New? I'd suggest a Civic or Corolla hybrid.
>>28911529Begone shill
>>28911574DRIVE the kiaactually go drive onetell me how it is (but test drive the turbo one plz)nobody is making you buy a kiajust asking you to drive both, and comparego do that, come back, and then post again
You are all assholes and I hate you all so please go kill yourself from a high building you fucking shills
why are americans absolutely obsessed with hondas and toyotas being "reliable"? or is it just an online teen urban legend thing
>>28912212Because Honda's B16A and K20A were simply bullet proof and had some of the best horsepower per litre at the time for naturally aspirated engines. Toyota (1/2JZ) and Nissan (RB26DETT) had excellent starlight 6's. The Co2 emissions terrorists killed many excellent engineering accomplishments.
>>28911525Civic and Corolla sell more units in Montana, than Mazda sells 3s globally. What do you think?
>>28912306>there are more brown people in india than there are europeans in all countries in the world put together, what do you think?
>>28911579>imagine backward rationalizing your bad decision so hard that you beg strangers on the internet to drive a shitbox known for exploding engines.
Its a bit sportier, better looking and has better interior but is less practical. I've driven one and liked it but it doesn't get same mpg and the slushbox is a slushbox.
>>28912212its a thing here in Finland here as well
I wouldn't consider a NEW shitbox without it being a hybrid, the advantages make the entire drivetrain better. Transmission on hybrids is better, 4 cylinder with instant torque, ability to drive with the engine off, instant AC/heat because it's electric/part electric, and then using 40% less gas.I would consider only a civic hybrid, corolla hybrid, corolla cross hybrid or ford maverick hybrid
I wouldn't consider any NEW shitbox if the brand starts with M
>>28913179In highway driving Mazda 3 is like 6.0 liters per 100 km and Corolla Hybrid is like 5.1.
>>28911525>Also I think they look better. You have shit taste.
>>28913276You sound like a sour grapes goyotard stuck with his disjointed gook tier ai design
>>28913259Yeah and in city it's a bigger gap. I'm getting 5.6L / 100km in my maverick awd.It's a pretty big difference when gas is expensive
>>28911525It's a piece of shit, just did a mini review of mine in another thread:>>28913627Mazda is an absolute no-go brand for me now. Sadly had to spend over 20k on this mistake.
