If it was so easy to get a VTiR to handle as well as a Type-R, I'm sure Honda would be bankrupt by now... There are many factors as to why a Type-R handles the way it does, and its not just suspension.

Anyway, to the thread starter, Mazda's are reliable cars and would be up there with Toyota and Honda as the most reliable.

I would either get the Mazda 3, the EG or EK Civic, or maybe for your budget, have you considered a Honda Jazz? I mean you want a daily driver and not a sports car right? Or do you have to have that power just in case? If so, look at a Honda Integra VTiR... or even the EM1/EK Civic VTiR.

i thought being the same chassy it would be the same, besides the minor engine and sussy setup. also its not power 'just in case' its more of there are some days or some moments you feel like taking a corner at fast speeds/ htting it at the lights.

so why do mazdas have such a bad rep. my mazda sucked :P unreliable as, but had nice amount of power under it, gives some of those hondas a scare lol

pretty much i want a type r in a family car if you guys understand what i mean. good handling + decent motor= sportivo corolla?

I've never really heard anything bad about Mazda... besides the MX-6, which I think was quite a disaster when it came to reliability (both the engine and the 4WS), and your 626 shared the same engine.

I think you're missing the point, Honda made a Type R to save us the trouble of trying to build our own, and they did it with a warranty.

nah mine didnt have the 4ws, i had the ghia but not the 4ws version. from what.
im suprised there are still so many running on the road the 626 shapes, my car was still in good nick but some others i knew had a car with problems one after another. was gona drop in a KLZE motor in it from a probe, but analyzed it and thought it wasnt worth it, since companies dont make suspension stuff for this car

at this moment im really leaning towards a sportivo. hopefully when i can get a loan approved ill test drive one then. is there anything to look out for? out of curiosity is it possible to change the front of a 05 to a 03 sportivo? the 03 grill is fugly, hopefully it depreciates heaps since new corolla is out.

does anyone else know what other cars out there which is on the level of the sportivo? like NA, family car, lift?, sunroof , leather with also about the same amount of money
