Hello people: Help Needed

I'm getting a car through my company and my budget's limited, between 700-730K. I'm looking for sound advice.

I'm choosing between a Mazda 3 and a Suzuki Swift. My wife wants the Mazda because it's bigger but I'm worried because I hear it can be a bit sluggish. I like Mazda's interiors better, though. Most of my officemates got Mazda 3s, too.

F/C won't be an issue because I'll get a gas card from my company.

I've visited dealers for both brands and they have assured me that they can work around my budget and throw in some freebies.

Head to head which is better?

Appreciate the help!
