I was challenged by one friend with one question:
Wether a better looking car worth $5K more?
Like the MZ3 vs Altis. Somebody say MZ3 better in performance, other people say Altis is better. Anyway, their performance is kind of comparable. But I think most of people will agree MZ3 is a better looker. Its price is about 5K more than Altis. Is it a market standard: Better Looking worth $5K?
mazda is currently over-pricing their car.
yet they are still so popular.
1 of the reason is, mazda is targetting the younger buyers who expect a sportier car instead of a uncle car.
it cannot be compared, different ppl have different expectation.
if it is for my family and not planning to do any show-off, i would choose altis.
ALTHOUGH altis is made in thai.
but as a loyal believer of toyota, you must trust their QC.
doens mean made in japan is problem-free.
every batch of car has it problem.
i believe MZ3 is much more expensive than altis.
if i would to choose a basic MZ3(if not wrong is around $90k).
i would top up some for a MZ6.
my choice: altis and save the money for mods!!!
let say with $5k, i can change to a 18" branded rims and low profile tires with enough change to do a cold air induction kit or bodykits.
mazda is 1 of my fav brand...but now too pricey
MZ3 where got 90k???
the sedan with sports version is 80k
hatch back sports is 84k
