Thats just a silly silly statement. No-one said..’these are the only 3 you can choose from’ They simply chose 3 cars & did a comparrison. What are you ??? 14 ?

Would love to see a test of the Holden Cruze SRI-V, The mitsubishi Lancer Aspire, toyota Corolla Ultima, Mazda 3 in Automatic. All seem to have the same fit out, all seem to be around the same price, but they have never been tested agains’t each other and if i was in the market, they would be the sort of vehicles i would be looking at and im sure many others.

I cannot understand why the Honda City is being compared to the Cruze and the Cerato. The Cruze is the obvious standout here as the other two are in another class.
Now, what would happen if we compared apples with apples?
Say, the Holden Cruze with the Mazda 3, the Honda Civic Sport and the Mitsubishi Lancer??
For mine, the Civic Sport in front of the Mazda 3, then a mile back the Lancer and the Cruze… all things considered, including resale value.

Hey Sam the Original,

Just to put some balance into your comments about 10 year old Hondas:

I have a 9 year old Honda (almost 10 years old). It is a CRV Sports Classic. It has only done 80,000 kms and it is the biggest POS I have ever had. I wanted to get rid of it years ago, but can’t afford to. It has done low kms for a 9yo car, because I hate driving this piece of crap, and I try to drive my wife’s car when I can.

It was a gutless noisy car from day one (I swear my hearing must be damaged by the loud tinny noise it makes constantly). It barely can make it up hills. The cargo cover never worked from the beginning as it never fitted into the slots. After 30,000kms it made this horrific squealing noise when you turn…found it was a standard problem for this model and required the diff oil to be changed….the problem is recurring and at 60,000kms it happened again (can’t wait to hit 90,000kms !). I regret having ever bought this car…and this was when they were made in Japan…now they are made in Thailand.

My wife refused to ever have anything to do with Hondas soon after we bought this car in 2001. With the benefit of hindsight, I should have waited a short while and got the Nissan Xtrail instead.

So, I am stuck with this POS until it falls apart (which will probably be pretty soon at the rate it is going despite only having done 80,000kms), while my wife got herself a nice replacement car 3 years ago (and it wasn’t a Honda), and it’s heaps quieter than the CRV even though she has a diesel AWD. My 7 year old son, refuses to get into my 9yo Honda CRV because he says it looks like it is going to fall apart, and it’s really noisy.

Why is the city in this comparison. Its a jazz sized offering and does not compete in the small car class. Its a light car. Fair enough its priced almost the same as the others but no where near competitive with the others.

I bought this car A STAR VXI one month back. It gives me good mileage, comfort, easiness in driving. It is an ideal vehicle for middle class families. EPS, integrated audio system, power windows on all 4 doors, remote fuel lid opener, boot opener, effective A/C ample power, contemporary style and FE makes this vehicle ideal.

It doesn’t seem to matter how many cogs are in the box when it comes to economy or hill climbing so why the fuss about the Cerato’s four forward gears? IMO more gears mean more shifting around, I don’t like how a six speed is always hunting around for a gear, don’t forget the driver has the ability to hold a gear for as long as they like if need be.
