Brand new Honda Civic vs Mazda3

[PrimeTime]

Granted I'm asking this on a Honda forum but at the moment I'm trying to decide between these 2 cars...

So hit me with all the reasons why I should buy a Civic over a Mazda3?
... or reasons not to ?

Edit: I've actually have test driven both but I am still curious for additional input.

why dont you just go to the dealers and test drive it for yourself and choose which ever car suits u best, cause not eveyroen has same taste.

Civic for the looks and the interior

dayam tuff choice. The problem is that there are already a billion Maz3's on the road, so the civic lightly modded ftmfw

I like how the Civic looks modded and was so so after test driving it.
However I have driven a SP23 and damn it was a fun drive for its type.

mazda 3 sp23 vs Civic VTI will be an even run.. Hard to say.. But Civic FD is much sexier

mazda 3 MPS vs Civic Sports... Civic is raped, mazda 3 MPS destroy civic for sure..

If u are after real power, get Mazda 3 MPS for a Mazda brand.. turbo power.. The N/a mazda with 2.3 litre is just so average with that engine capacity..

If u wan a nice N/a car.. get the vti FD civic as it is hot as when u whack on a mugen kit and lower it with coilovers..lol.. Seriously, Honda are built to last n have gd resale value.. And they have heaps of aftermarket parts!!..

Get a honda.. power of dreams..

i was gonna buy an MPS...... its Mazda's fastest car yet, even quicker than the RX8
The SP23 i think is quicker than the VTI.
2.3ltr with madza's variable timing.

I like Hondas, but the new Mazdas are nice inside, makes the honda look pretty plain in comparision

just my thoughts

So what about if it was just a Mazda3 Neo/Maxx (2L) vs Civic VTI ?

I'm not really a car mod person but all the mention of it sounds pretty interesting ^_^

dunno about neo, never looked into it cos i wanted a car with some potential

Drove a friends Mazda 3 Maxx, ok car, but from a driving perspective I never felt at one with the car. Driving position and steering wheel adjustment wasn't good for me, I'm not tall at 5'11.

Have a test drive of both and then decide.

Dont let the dealer sucker u into buying the first one you test drive loolool

I have owned a 2007 Civic VTI-L and my mate a 2007 Mazda 3 SP23. The Mazda is so much better than the Honda it is not funny.

I was so impressed I sold the Honda after 6 months and bought a Mazda, and I have never been happier.
