If you don't nee the space, Yaris. Mas efficient and lighter to scoot around in.

both are ok, but for long-term use, i personally prefer the yaris.

hindi naman need eh. Yung car plan kasi ni misis na bigay nang office lugi eh. Abono lagi sa gas.

Civic 1.8 AT kaya balak bumili na lang tapos yung isang car na nasa bahay na spare ibenta kasi sakit na sa ulo lagi may sira.

Yaris nga ang gusto ko kaso ayaw eh napapangitan sa itsura.

Surprisingly some women prefer the looks of the 3 hatch vs the Yaris. We were seriously considering the 3 before pero ako ang umayaw dahil sa fuel consumption. The Yaris is easier to drive in the city though but the 3 will feel more solid.

^ Yun din kinakatakot ko. Wala syang safety sa yaris pagnabangga.

She will be safe in the Yaris. It got 4 stars in most tests: 2007 Toyota Yaris Safety and Crash Tests - MSN Autos

The 3 is a class above in size though so it will feel heavier and more planted.

My wife also loathed the looks of the Yaris and wanted to buy the Mazda 3 1.6 (almost bought one but someone beat us to the particular unit we wanted to get)... that's why we ended up with the Altis also. If we got the Yaris, i would have upgraded it to the RS looks plus 17 inch rims. :D

Is it just me? I find this particular model of Mazda 3 too thirsty.

I had the chance to use a cousin's Mazda for a week. I computed 7 kms/litre in fuel consumption. My 1984 W123 200G (2.0 carb) constantly hits 8 kms/litre (4 speed lang ito ha!). Same distance and traffic conditions for both cars, aircon is on, same driving style.

My cousin's complain was also on fuel economy. She sold it.

Heavy body shared with Ford and relatively small 1.6L engine. The 2.0 is reportedly more economical.

The new Skyactiv 2.0 is a lot thriftier though. I'm waiting for the 1.5 Skyactiv for the lighter-bodied 2014 model.
