Resale value... the Mazda3 may not have the "Honda" cachet, but resale value isn't actually bad.

The Mazda3 is a much better car, inside and out, except in terms of fuel economy and power... while the Jazz is kind of fun to drive, tama nga si gh, it's like driving a video game. The newer Jazzes have heavier steering but it's still kinda disconnected... the Mazda3, however, is pleasing to drive in all aspects (again, except for the lack of power).
