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.
