Mazda MX-5 2.0 SkyActiv-G Coupe MT (2015) vs Jaecoo EJ6 AWD Premium (2025): which should you buy?
For a Filipino buyer who values pure driving enjoyment, the 2015 Mazda MX‑5 2.0 SkyActiv‑G Coupe is the clear pick. It costs ₱1,850,000, slightly more than the Jaecoo EJ6’s ₱1,799,000, but offers a lightweight RWD sports‑car experience with a 160 PS naturally‑aspirated inline‑4, 6‑speed manual gearbox and a compact 2‑door coupe body that is only 3.9 m long. Its 100,000 km/3‑year warranty is shorter, yet the MX‑5’s focus on driver engagement, low curb weight and iconic road‑sterling feel outweigh the modest power gap. The Jaecoo EJ6, priced a bit lower, brings an electric AWD powertrain with 275 PS and 385 Nm, plus a larger 5‑door small crossover SUV body (4.4 m long, 5 seats) and a generous 7‑year/200,000 km warranty, making it more practical for families or city commuters who need space and zero‑emission driving. However, its automatic transmission and higher torque come with a bulkier footprint and no manual option. Choose the MX‑5 if you crave a spirited, two‑seat roadster for weekend drives; choose the Jaecoo EJ6 if you need an eco‑friendly, roomy daily driver with longer warranty coverage.
