I previously owned a 2014 mazda 3 grand touring which I loved, but the it was too noisy and unrefined. The new mazda 3 is night a day difference in the refinement.

Excellent comparison!😸😊

This was a very good car compare ! And I have a Mazda 3 this was soooo fair and on point. These were my exact reason after owning a Preferred for a while now. Everytime anyone sits down they say, No shit this is a Mazda, this nice.... How much was it? The sound system is fair, like honestly mehh. 6 outta 10. Many people who've been in my passenger seat countless times still talked about how amazing the car feels and and how comfortable it is and it didn't cost way more. And the infotainment is so simple and it has this quality still and sucks a little not being touch. Everyone has figured out the dial thing caudr it no huge learning curve to it.

Love your video

Can't choose! They are both my favorite of all time 😊

I had a Mazda 3 hatchback NA as a rental for a few weeks while my car was in the shop. I must say I was thoroughly impressed.

I like the 3 way more but unfortunately the Civic is what I’m shopping for as it’s really the winner for baby seat and booster seat friendliness. I have to say the new civic is quite high quality! Not Mazda 3 level, but nice nonetheless.

I like the look of the Mazda a bit better and prefer a regular transmission. Great video!

The Mazda 3 look so much better inside and out but the Honda is more practical.

Definitely would choose Mazda 3 with 2.5l engine. Most importantly it has 6-speed transmission with Real Gears.

I love my 24 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback manual. Works for me. Nice BOSE stereo too. I had a 2004 Mazda 3 sedan with manual & it was a very nice car & fun to drive. I haven’t tried a recent model year Mazda 3.

I once had to choose between these two cars last time, i ended up buying the mazda 3 considering im a huge honda fan boy. Now its already 3 years and still enjoying my mazda 3.

I had a Mazda 3 Select 2021 with 2 years and already 80k miles. This is the best car for daily drive. I work on road for like 230 miles per day aprox the last year. And the only issue here in Puerto Rico is the tires. Because are 18 and roads here are not good i change tires like 2 to 3 times. But other than that either good maintenance this car runs like new still.

Honda Civic for me better, because have more cargo space, more space in cabin. Better fuel economy and the most important thing for me is the hybrid version of the Civic.

I'd get the Mazda. Here in California both Honda and Toyota get MSRP or above. Mazda, Nissan, Kia, or Hyundai are better values on the lot.

This is the best review I have seen between these two cars. Well done. While I am on team Mazda, one thing to also consider is the dealer network. There are, at least in my area, far more Honda dealerships than Mazda. This can be important for potential recalls and for folks who like having their vehicles serviced at a dealership.

I own the civic sport hatchback and yes everyone appears to be fudging the mpg. I average 25. That is also because I warm up the car because it’s cold but I’m sure it’s not going to hit the 32 mpg average. You have to have idle stop on as well as economy mode in the civic to come close to those numbers in the city. It’s pretty accurate on the highway though.

After nearly 8 years with a 2016 Miata Sport which I loved and will always love I decided to go the 4 door mini sedan route(Im older now and I want comfort more than excitement). I looked at all the makes and models and in the end I stayed with Mazda with the 3 Sedan. Over the years Mazda has improved the quality and longevity of its cars and since I always keep up with routine maintenance I am certainly confident that the car will last for some time. The primary reason for the Mazda 3 other than liking the brand is how much more elegant, user friendly and uncluttered to Mazda 3's interior is. It is absolutely beautiful while most of the competition have interiors that are garish, obnoxious, cheesy, and just plain ugly. The massive infotainment screens that stick out like sore thumbs in these cars are absurd. The Mazda's infotainment screen is just large enough at 8.5 inches to meet all of my needs. Its appearance is that of something that is blended into the dash naturally and organically. I dont need or want touch screen features and because the infotainment screen in the Mazda sits high enough and far enough away from my reach I have no fear of something hitting or striking it accidentally something that is much more likely with most of the competition.

I had to pick between the 3 turbo and the Civic Si. I went for the Si because of MPG. It’s a fun ride and was less expensive, but the Mazda interior was really nice!

Mazda put you on a different league. Based on own experience... a Mazda 3 owner here 😊 used to be a Honda user before changing to Mazda

Mazda has more standard features but I’d choose the Civic simply because of the touchscreen. I don’t want to toggle with Mazda’s knobs for the screen and that awkward angle of the screen pushed back as if sinking into the dashboard would drive me nuts looking at it being OCD. I like symmetry like on its exterior with the two exhaust pipes. 😂
