so why is the general problem with mazda's is the tranny or
b14 is the head...(happened to me and i went by a neal and massy mech and was told that this was a problem happening with all these cars)
or the lancers that some magnet on (im not sure so correct me if im wrong) on the tps does fall off...etc etc...
i believe what you say that majority of the time people are to blame for their car problems but i also believe that certain cars come with certain factory weakness....
another eg... the air maf sensors for my car zm de had a mass recall some time ago because they found it to be faulty in a number of cars...

The toyota corolla is a nice everyday car not a handful to handle..well as a matter of fact none of the cars in this discussion r a handful,but a nice feminine car, easy to drive and has a lil zip in it(VVT-I). Its a toyota so good reliability and good resale.
The mazda has a nice sporty look to it and it handles pretty well too,but the 1.6l lacks grunt of any kind..oh BTW the mazda 3 that we read about in car mags etc are not the same ones we are blessed wit in our twin ISLAND republic..but it gets good praises nontheless.
The lancer was always an anemic performer(ralliart or watever) except the evo models but as an everyday car it can pass..the looks not too sure.
SUBARU 1.6l BIG WASTE OF TIME(mite as well jus take d bus route) And have you seen that engine bay..all that drama for a 1.6 [/b]
And transmissions are normally lazy..no matter wat they call them nothing really beats a good ol manual.

don't all the local yaris come with the 1.3 NON vvti?
And i sure u wasn't x-board.. I knw wat u mean it have some fellars dat feel dem bubaru is d next best ting. I tink d only ting it have goin for it is that it 4wd and all d sti/wrx trinkets to make look "fast"x2floor wrote:don't all the local yaris come with the 1.3 NON vvti?
The normal Yaris and Daihatsu Sirion comes with the standard 1.3 DOHC 16V engine but the Yaris with the 6 airbags, fog lights, spoiler and 15" alloy rims comes with the 1.3 DOHC 16V VVT-i engine which brings me to this point since someone mentioned a Subaru Impreza 1.6TS.....let me say this:
Just reach Trincity traffic lights driving a VVT-i 1.3 Yaris and a fella revving he 1.6TS ofcourse he took off the badge and have an STI sticker in the back, a fat exhaust, hood scoop and 18" gold rims. Hell he even had some fins in the rear and the subie spoiler and massive stock fog lights etc..I see he have some meters on the pillar but on further analysis its them temp/pressure meters he simply bolt on there and ofcourse the tach but he feel he have a WRX or something with them rear drum brakes being the big giveaway. I gave him about 100 car lenths by the time I reach the Macoya lights......I mean sheit man, I know I driving sheit but the 1.6TS is equivalent to a B12 1.5

try to run one of them celica's with one nah :mrgreen:
the corolla 1.6 vvti its heavy and handling sucks but in a straight line it moves for a heavy a$$ car (i have one at home and well as a mazda 323)
the 2.0 mazda 3 gets cut a$$ until it reachs top end ...righttt up and then its with me...a 1.6 manual....automatic makes all cars lazy and does not really show the true performance of an engine...
never driven a civic or a 2 litre lancer so i cant comment on performance...but i have been driven in the civic and its quite nice i dunno what people does be bashing civic for? as for the lancer ive only driven the 1.6 and that has gotten washed by a manual wingroad

how much does the 2.0 accord ivtec does push out?...it does walk away from me but seemingly with some difficultly
