Default Mazda 3 Vs. Honda Civic, which one?
Hi,

I'm currently looking for a new car, and looking for opinions on which car is better.. obviously, it will be biased since I'm on a Mazda forum, but I have a post on a civic forum too

Which car is better and why? thanks!!

When I got mine, the civic had just came out, so I test drove it. I will admit it drove nice, but it was just to wierd, with that crazy dash and stuff. The 3 felt more sold, and like a more expensive car to me.

I actually really liked the civic, but I was able to get a better deal on the 3. If Honda had been willing to deal, I might have gone with it.

I think they are both great cars, and I have no regrets about getting the Mazda, but I probably would have been just as happy with the Honda.

Yep, I chose the 3 as well, I liked the interior better, the fit and finish was about on par. More power is always nice, and it was a better deal.

Honda makes great cars, but they know it and charge more then they should.

No regrets with the 3

Honda = overpriced crap.

The Mazda3 is superior in every way, power, value, style, interior, dimensions, fun to drive. Only fanbois pick the honda
