feedback naman po sa second hand mazda familia cars (96 - 99 models). ok po ba ang mazda familia in terms of durability and fuel efficiency? tatagal po ba sya sa mga long drives (manila to bicol)? how about sa cost and availability of parts? Kinoconsider ko kasi syang alternative sa toyota gli. medyo mas affordable kasi. thanks sa mga magrereply!!

Torquey engine, responsive handling, medyo mas malakas lang kumain ng gas in comparison to its counterparts pero hindi ka madidisappoint sa arangkada. I'm averaging at 7.8 km/l, lowest is 6.2 km/l (nung bago pa sakin at wala pang tuneup) to 8.8 km/l (nlex run). Lately nakaka 8.5 km/l to 8.75 km/l and 10 km/l with aircon off. It's a 1.6 DOHC M/T anyway. Yung A/T mas malakas kumain ng gas... afaik maybe 6-7 km/l from my peers.
Parts are readily available in banawe, pasay, evangelista. Check rear fenders for rust and check suspension. Log on to [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] for more info. you'll get a ton of help there. Happy hunting!
PROS:
- Good engine power (better then the Corolla)
- Space
- Value-for-money since it's cheaper then an older Corolla
CONS:
- fuel consumption is somewhat poor compared to the other 1.6's
- a/t tranny has to be cared for... i know several owners who had a/t problems (including us).
i had a '97 familia a/t before. i loved that car. it handled better than a civic, and the engine had sufficient power. the only thing i didn't like about it was the gas consumption. and the a/c was weaker than a civic's or sentra's.
