bat ang daming awards ng mazda 3 pero wala akong nakikita halos sa daan..... hmmm....
ReplyDeleteKase exclusive daw, para lng sa mga may taste yan
ReplyDeleteGanoon pala maganda sabihin kapag nilalangaw no. Kasi exclusive.
DeleteDepende kung saang daan o lugar ka nakatingin at nakapwesto, hindi naman below mid class ang target market nito
Deletekahit saang daan pa yan wala ka halos makikita na bagong mazda 3. nilalangaw.
DeleteMcdonalds doesn't make the best burgers, however, they sell loads of it. Toyota sells a lot of Vios, you see lots of them on the road, however, the Vios isn't the best car out there either.
DeleteKindly emphasize in your column that the mazda 3 elsewhere is very different from ours. Most countries,(including canada, i think) offers the 3 in 2.0turbo, while we, only have the n/a 2.0. The two variants are like night and day.
ReplyDeleteThe Mazda3 is also offered with a 2.0-liter NA in the U.S. and Canada. It also comes with a 2.5-liter NA, 2.5-liter turbo, and even a 1.8-liter diesel. It also comes in hybrid and Skyactiv-X flavor in Europe.
DeleteSo, i guess their basis for selecting the 3 as car of the year is because of the 2.5 n/a or the 2.5 turbo. Because the 2.0 n/a is slow and underpowered by western standards.
DeleteBeing slow or underpowered doesn't mean it could not compete as car of the year, everyone knows it is not the basis of this category
ReplyDeleteoo nga naman. ang basis kung magkanong pera nailabas ng kumpanya diba?
DeletePara legal pakinggan...Lobbying.. sa tagalog...Suhol?
DeleteThe Mazda3, Toyota Corolla Altis, and Honda Civic are all great and iconic cars 😊👍👏
