mazda 3 or honda civic
 

shouts out to the gtcarz crew, guys in in a predicament here any thoughts wud be greatly appreciated

looking at mazda 3s, 2004, 4 door sedan, anywhere from 80k - 180k in comparison to honda civics 2001 - 2003, 4 door sedans anywhere from 100 - 180K

got the dough for either 1 but cant decide, like em both drove em both now i need some 3rd party suggestions

thanks

ive driven both and i can honestly say the 3 just felt better, the interior is nicer and it drove better(not as much wind/road noise) and good balance of comfort and performance suspension wise and the motor in the 3 i believe has more power i cant remember. but thats just imo.

i agree. if those are what you are looking at i'd get the 3.

Mazda 3 would be a good choice if the engine don't die. Do a search on any mazda 3 owners club and you'll see what i mean. Also they have bad rust issue.

hondas rot more than anything else on the road so a little rust on the mazda shouldnt deter you. ive driven both aswell and prefer the 3.

personally i have a thing for those EM body style civics (01-05),however the mazda 3
is a bar higher in all categories so i would definitly consider that
