Went to inspect 3 Allions(2-2007 240 and one 260 1800cc)and a Mazda 3. Actually they are from car sales. One 240 has met with an accident and the comples nose cut have been replaced(i noticed),but quoting 3.9million. That particular car had a problem with idling since the car rapidly changes the rpm. The not a single car justified the price. Mileages have been tampered for sure, but none had a pleasant interior. Even the 260 has developped a funges on the back seats and arm rests, which is a sign that the car has been sitting there for a long time. After inspecting, getting inside my car gave me a sigh of relief. My good old 121 had a better condition than all of them but anyway I’m going to find a 260 allion patiently.
I have never driven a Mazda 3. So there was one which had a decent interior, and the engine was well tuned exhausting water drops. So I drove it. I expected more from a Mazda.overall the car is not smooth or comfortable as a Corolla, but felt well planted and heavy.The steering has a weight and a feel but overall I think the car lacks refinement and comfort levels I expect. I floored it and the engine loves to rev and shifts quickly, but lacks a punch. Overall I felt I was cramped inside and Hondas felt better. That’s maybe the car may not be in perfect condition, but I don’t know...The Mazda 3 doesn’t rang any bell for me?I know the Mazda 3 has been praised everywhere for its sportiness, but I think there are 2 major reasons for this.Either the car is not in a mechanically good condition or my mind prefers the numb and smooth Toyota ride?

@hrmI’m not in a hurry, so ready to wait for another 6-7 months to grab a good one. This selling craze started because one of my father’s closest friend owned an Axio Luxel Alpha edition,which is personally imported and used carefully told me that he is going to sell his car and go for a hilux. But he was not ready to spend over 4.8 million. Due to lack of good examples, his idea changed for a vezel and almost all the people told him about the dual clutch as a “major fault” which caused him to keep his current car. So I had to go through a very hard time, since the car was advertised and 3 buyers were ready to purchase it. He might not sell it for about another couple of years. Since my budget allows me to go for a new ride, I kept finding a car eversince

Yeah patience is the best thing. But if you spot a good one you have to hurry as a sale bayya would grab before everyone else. When I bought my car there was a tug of war where I knew the car is genuine. Owner being a good guy didn't accept my advance payment due to some other guy had made an offer. I offered more but the thing went on for couple of days until owner found out the other person is a car sale guy so I was given the chance. Good ones sell out soon. Lemons remain for months.
