Thinking if getting this (M3 1.5L Sedan) rather than the Civic 1.8E because after testing I just fell in love with handling, Skyactive + Youjin 3... But.. Worried about resale value.

Any thoughts?

Hi sir, tanong ko lang po manual po ba yung transmission na ginamit nyo?

There is NO MANUAL Mazda 3 in the Philippines. Since the first Mazda 3 was launched in 2004, there has never been a manual.

Provincial dealers add the freight and insurance cost to the vehicle's price ... most, if not all, of them do this ...

Been thru the Chevy experience. In a good way, Mazda is the total opposite in reliability, efficiency & service. Both the 2 & 3 are great cars, but I'd suggest the 3 more.

Sorry sir, I saw on youtube that there is a Manual and its model is 2017 Mazda 3 2.0 GT. Why there's no Manual Mazda 3 in the PH if there is a manual mazda 3 in the other country?

Besides the fact that the Skyactiv auto tranny being more fuel efficient & faster than its stick counterpart, it's the local market that dictates. The If you've tried any of the current Skyactivs, you'll likely note that the tranny is no slouch. The M2 was initially offered w/ stick....not anymore. You might still have luck w/ the MX5.

Because noone buys manuals in the Philippines except for base models and sports cars.
