[DavidWhang]

which is better overall? mazda 3 or lancer ex? both manual transmissions..
please avoid being too car-jargon-y...hehe. thanks!

safety? speed? feel? comfort in driving? how long the car will last with proper maintenance? average price of maintaining the car? fuel consumption?

your reply is much appreciated

want mpg info,,www auto fuel mileage.....or www mazda fuel mileage compression...on yahoo search or google. good luck
