NEW CAR F0RD FIESTA 1.0 OR THE NEW MAZDA 3

[RustyPrincess]

The new mazda 2 is launching is SA soon, that (to me) can be compared better to the Fiesta. Maybe wait a while, and then make your decision.

If the Mazda 3 is the same price as the Fiesta ST, go for the ST. Test drive one, you will love it.

A turbocharged engine with a turbocharger!

R30k more. That's not to be sneezed at.

His original costs were only R5k apart, and I quote:

"fiesta 1.0 trend is going for around R226k and i got a nice deal for the new mazda 3 1.6 dynamic for R230k"

Obviously if he shops around he can get better pricing. And comparing 2 different segments does not help either.

His... he...

Her... she

Oops, sorry, missed the lady part.

MAZDA 3 gosh I blush everytime I see one and I'm a guy. Love it
The new Mazda 6 brings a tear to my eye and the New MX-5 Just make me break out in a loud girly wail crying my eyes out that I don't have the money to buy it right NOW THIS VERY INSTANT!

Its that red colour.

I agree they're beauts so OP go Mazda. You'll turn heads.

Mazda are advertising their Unlimited mileage 3 year service plan and warranty on any new car purchased, does the Ford offer have something similar?

 

[Drifter]

Ford usually 3 years 120K kms warranty and 3 year 60K kms service plan.

The thread had moved on from there.

Comparing 2 different segments helps when you introduce price.

I would still buy the Mazda 3 above the Fiesta ST. It's just way more car for the same amount of money.

Different cars for different needs.

The mazda is not as exciting, but has 5 doors, more space and I assume a softer more comfy ride

The FIST is Sporty and appeals to people who want to be fast and look "cool" ie not practical but lots of fun.

Exactly my point. If it was a Focus ST vs Mazda 3... This would not have even been discussed

Come again? The Fiesta is packed with standard features.

Erm...

What do you equate to be "more" car? Because we're obviously on 2 different planets.

so i am in the market for a new car, i have narrowed down my options to ford fiesta 1.0 and the new mazda 3 =QUOTE]

Mazda3 of course. Mazda3 rivals with ford focus while the fiesta rivals with Mazda2. The new Mazda2 has already reached our shores 4 days ago confirmed by Mazda SA but yet to officially announced it.

Ford Fiesta Pros: Stylish looks; Superb fun to drive; Cheap to run

Cons: Small boot; Interior is slightly cramped

Mazda3 Pros: Extra boot space; Cheap to run; Stylish design; Brilliant to drive.
Cons: Entry-level engine is slow.
