And it's Mazda 3 for me. Plus around here, you have a way better chance of keeping the Mazda in the driveway overnight and not in a container on it's way overseas.

Mazda3. It rated safer in the updated side test and updated moderate overlap test, from IIHS. Civic didn't get any award for 2024, Mazda3 got Top Safety Pick +.

[JeanClaud]

I drove both and would still take the Mazda 3. My only negatives about the civic were the CVT trans and the uncomfortable sitting position.

[parnpichate]

I bought a Mazda 3 Premium trim stick shift and I'm in love with the car. Beautiful exterior aesthetic and the interior is plush and seems nicer than it should be at that price point.

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. Much better than all the newer Corolla sedans and hatches I had, plus it has a traditional automatic, not a CVT. Only gripe is you can’t get the red leather in the top trim.

[gablewis]

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.

[danielhamby]

I bought an Altima last year. I didn’t know much about cars or that Nissan has cvt issues but now I do after it started having issues. I wish I could go back and buy a Mazda 3 just because cvts suck regardless of manufacturer

[camsheet]

Just bought a mazda3 select sport and was absolutely floored with him good it was compared to a Honda or even a Corolla

[RichLifeMY]

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

[jimmywhite]

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.

[DaytonasGarden]

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.

[scottstrom]

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

[osvaldoclaudio]

I brought a madza3 24 runs very smooth. No regret. Has some good power. Especially in the highway.

[pranavdubey]

Mazda 3 for me. I am from Toronto, Canada and I feel it best in class. Plus no one will steal it. Hopefully.

[thehuman]

This has to be the most comprehensive review of the two sedans. No BS, just straight facts!!!

[davidcd]

I started having a Mazda 2 in 2009, then a Mazda 3 in 2011, a CX 3 in 2018, and now I own a CX 5 and a CX 30 for 2025. I think comparing a Mazda to a Honda is an insult, superior overall!

[northhaven]

I can only speak about Honda, owed 2 accords and 2 civics. Always fun to drive, only Brakes and oil changes and filters to keep them going. Ran them all to over 400k before easily selling them. Never be afraid of buying a used Honda if it was maintained I say. Our 2022 Civic Touring has not disappointed us. Great channel.

[pttthhh]

I bought the 3 sedan because i obviously liked it more than the others. Its an AWD Carbon Edition and the only con i have so far is gasilage is pretty bad compared to listed. Im getting around 21. All city so far though. Sucks after assuming id be buying some sort of hybrid or ev for the last few years. But its a fun car. Love it so far.

[NOFATCHICK]

I was really impressed with the ride quality and NVH with my friends 2019 mazda 3 and I own a 2015 Lexus is350 f sport so that saids alot. 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.

[Offensively-normal]

I went Civic sport touring. I really liked the Mazda 3 sedan just tad to small. I also like the way the Civic handles. But the 3 looks better.
