I had a chance to drive my sister’s pre-gen 2015 Mazda 3 2.5 while I was visiting her and her family last year in Australia, I must say, the power of a NA 184hp 2.5 in a C Segment sedan when you are driving alone is very much effortless driving experience of its class. I’m surprised with the handling of the Mazda 3 pre-gen even without GVC trim. For an enthusiastic mindset, my choice would still much prefer a Mazda 3 if I were to spend my money for either of this 3 cars, either a Black mid spec Sedan or Soul red full spec Hatchback. Say u want about Toyota’s reliability or Honda’s pricing, I would still prefer to buy a Mazda just because they are one of the last car makers to keep making cars that are meant for enthusiasts who love to drive. Unless Toyota offered a 2.0 Dynamic Force Corolla Hatchback here then it might start to move the market into a much more interesting direction.

[@geenogabb]

Mazda 3! That too, is my choice. Though you'll be paying extra, I think the interior and exterior are just notch higher than what competitors offer. Technology is no slouch either and the infotaiment interface refinement only shows how Mazda pay attention to detail. I am not really into CVT and I think it seals my choice. The Civic is one reliable car too, but the over the top creases and tail lights made me hold back. Looks is a subjective matter though. I am really dreaming and considering the Mazda 3 sedan as my future car. 🙏 View fr. Ph Btw

Yeap the civic has so many weird body lines that dont blend in together well, but it's like a bonia bag (civic) vs a gucci bag (mazda 3), the bonia can have lot of space for practicality good for day to day use and does a lot of things good enough, while the Gucci with simple touch of luxury or fine details, civic is like the one you need while the mazda is the one you want

But the top spec mazda 3 missing out on the Bose is quite disappointing (for me at least) because the standard speakers are mediocre.

[@mohamedsaifuddinmahmudmoha543]

Even though Mazda 3 were considered as the same segment as Japanese build C-Segment, I would put it a level higher above all japanese build C-Segment cars because during the launch of Mazda 3 in Malaysia, Mazda Malaysia purposely put the previous model F30 BMW 3 series & mercedes C class as its competitors (in terms of its dashboard design qualities and handlings). Sadly Malaysia only gets a 2.0 N/A Skyactive G engine and not Skyactive X due to our fuel quality. And of course since Mazda 3 build qualities were on the par as BMW 3 series and Mercedes C-class, the price were almost the same as "previous D Segment of Mazda 6, Honda Accord & Toyota Camry." which the price were around 160K++. back to the value for money, nothing beats Honda Civic. but Honda build cars (sorry for this honest review) Cabin noise (sound proofing) were amongst the worst compared to Mazda 3 & Toyota Corolla.....why Honda...why?????

Civic is definetly a good car. It would be nicer if Honda Malaysia would be more responsive to their customer after sales service.

[@muhammadjazirbinwahabhajim6148]

Corrolla altis is the luxury car. It look beautiful...

[@anak_antoo]

I like the mazda 3 but I bought a civic. Why? Cause it crazily cheap for what it's offer.

[@WapCar]

Great value for money! Hope you're enjoying your new ride and do share with us your ownership experience with us - www.wapcar.my/activity/shareyourstory

[@chewsrise9439]

I'd pick Civic no brainer. Altis is dated, you are nice to explain that way. I think it's targetted for older folks, maybe? Mazda is the most beautiful car..I think probably subjective. A turbo charged 1.5 CVT Civic, what else one want to fault on that? I think Honda has difficulty to come out another generation car that can surpass its own 10th gen Civic. This explains why the car has retain the same shell and engine from 2016-2020.

[@WapCar]

Hahaha but the Altis is brand new, just released in 2018. The Civic indeed covers all bases for those looking for performance and technology 😃

[@obidean3964]

Mazda 3 for me. The thinking man choice IMO. Polished styling, refined interior & more engaging driving experience. The overall car feel like next class but interior a bit cramped and the price also way above the rest. As for Civic, still reckon it is more all rounder pick for most people with slightly lesser cost, more spacious interior and the spec is still pretty competent now with Honda Sensing and yes VTEC turbo. Corolla is not the most exciting IMO and the spec even with TNGA, Safety Sense still got some glaring compromises (expected from Toyota) like the ridiculously small touchscreen HU and no Android Auto / Apple Carplay yet the price is somehow quite more expensive than equivalent 1.8 Civic, almost level with Civic Turbo lol. Also, 1.8 engine is a bit letdown in comparison to competition and even prev gen 2.0 ...

[@WapCar]

Yeap, Civic is still the best bang for your buck, but Mazda is a thing of desire

[@shahrulnizam4713]

Civic is well balanced in term of performance,spec,handling,comfort and price. No wonder why it is hot selling in local market

[@LOLSXY155]

Mazda 3 with no doubt.

[@MOCKCHARLIE]

For 160K I rather opt in for a BMW 3 series 2.0 turbo (second hand).

[@WapCar]

Yeap, that's a consideration too 😃

[@pnteo]

Mazda 3 definitely but the price is just abit over, can't complain because is CBU imported

[@vince218u]

Civic is my choice

[@azlanmusa8732]

Civic for me!

[@nikos39]

I think the rear of corolla altis is by far the sexier.

[@peacemakergamer68]

I started of with a Vios 3rd Gen. Now Altis, y Altis. Cause i love the comfort and the design is beautiful. Honda is ok but i hate the back design. It kills the sedan look. Mazda, nv tought about it. I have a Putra 1.8 Dohc that could just smoke many performance car, Honda 1.5 Turbo is an easy win even at 3rd gear. And mine is N/A. So that was y i choose the Toyota, smooth and reliable. If speed i ll use my Putra.

[@genexis_x9040]

Civic - more powerful turbo engine, but bad QC and aftersales by HM Altis - Toyota reliability, CBU instead of CKD, TNGA chassis but boring engine Mazda 3 - not comparable with the 2 options IMO above due to price to me design isn't a big deal, heart wants Civic but Altis would be a more sensible choice

[@WapCar]

Don't forget Toyota resale value 👌🏼

[@Mr16Million]

For look I will prefer M3 For practicality, Civic Toyota still old engine, not sincere, No for Altis.

[@4kkualalumpuraviation924]

Even I’m youngster. I would pick Corolla as the name has to do with number 1 top selling car in the world. As toyota is well known for the reliability of their car tho. I owned one, the 11th generation. It’s good but not as good as the 12th as it use torsion beam. But satisfied with the reliability that toyota gives.

[@WapCar]

Nothing wrong with that, great choice 😃

[@juneng5089]

I will choose Mazda 3, Coz 6 speed automatic, class,simple,solid,beauty = Less is More. Most important only mazda have tail pipe is "twin"

[@WapCar]

Ahh yes, proper tailpipes are 👌🏻

[@user96247]

Tempted to get a civic. But got a 3 series instead.

[@chaosboy22]

Honda Civic ftw!!

[@WapCar]

😃👍

[@silviah4063]

For me i will pick honda civic

[@BoonHanWit]

Imo. Full lcd instrument cluster. Interior and exterior. Civic. Altis will be last choice because least attractive inside out. Engine powerwise, highway still 110km/h. So either one is sufficient.

[@WapCar]

That's true, Civic still looks sharp 😃

[@mm55555]

Mazda 3 cos I’m young at heart. Lol.

[@WapCar]

Nothing wrong with that 😃👍🏻
