MAZDA3 vs. Honda Civic: Which is Best for You?

The Mazda3 and Honda Civic are both sleek vehicles that are offered as either a spacious sedan or a versatile hatchback. That’s not the only choice you have to make. You need to decide which model is best for you. We’re highlighting the Mazda3 at Medlin Mazda to show you all its perks.

Innovative Features

The Mazda3 takes it up a notch in the technology department. It comes standard with a large 8.8-inch infotainment screen and a rotary controller, while the standard screen in the Honda Civic is only five inches. Both vehicles include Bluetooth, but the Mazda3 adds two USB ports and HD radio.

Premium Performance

There’s no denying both of these vehicles are fun to drive. The Mazda3, however, delivers a sportier ride while still delivering a smooth performance. Plus, the available i-Activ all-wheel drive system gives you better traction in the Mazda3 and control of your vehicle. This isn’t a common feature for a sedan and isn’t available in the Honda Civic.

Superior Safety

The results say it all. The Mazda3 is an IIHS Top Safety Pick+ award winner. While the Honda Civic earned the IIHS Top Safety Pick award, the coveted “+” is reserved for vehicles that earn only satisfactory ratings across the board.

Spacious Cabin

Naturally, you’ll find extra space in the hatchbacks. You’ll find the most in the Mazda3. The Mazda3 hatchback delivers 47.1 cubic feet of cargo space if you optimize the seating area. The Honda Civic hatchback falls shy with just 46.2 cubic feet.
