Hi guys,
I'm currently in the market for a sedan and am torn between the Mazda3 1.5V Sedan and the Honda Civic 1.8E. I've tried to list down the pros (and cons) of both cars below:
Mazda3 1.5V Sedan
- priced lower at P998K (as opposed to the Civic at P1.103M)
- free maintenance for 3 years (or 60Tkms)
- built-in GPS Navigation (opposed to Civic not having a GPS-ready head unit)
- built-in backup sensors (opposed to Civic's dealer option)
- leather trimmings on dashboard and center console
- IMHO more refined dashboard and center console
Honda Civic 1.8E
- bigger (wider and longer than Mazda3)
- new model (as opposed to Mazda3 being roughly 2 years old already)
- daytime running lights
- smart key with remote engine and cooling system start
Which one would you guys pick? Please help! Thanks in advance!

Personally, I'd choose the civic. But it still depends on you. I think there are other factors that you should consider.
Fuel consumption
Interior space
Your heart's desire
Comfort vs sporty feel
Car's appeal to your eyes
What is your priority in choosing a unit? If you're after cost savings, fuel consumption and sporty feel, then M3 is for you. If you're after bigger space, most comfort oriented and a newer look, then the civic is for you.
I suggest you test drive both. I'm sure you'll know the answer afterwards :D

Go with the Civic 1.8L. It's a better package. If going for the Mazda3, go for the 2.0L model. Mazda's 1.5L engine is bringing driving wonders for the Mazda2 but it will make a boring drive for the bigger frame of the Mazda3.

You have to check the dedicated threads here in Tsikot for both cars regarding fuel consumption. I do know that Mazda's SkyActiv engines are quite fuel efficient. For Honda's R18 engine, I think it's good for around 8 km/L for city driving routes.
Regarding interior space, the Civic is better over the Mazda3. My brother-in-law drives a Civic RS and the rear seats can fit 3 adults comfortably though not as comfortable as with a midsize like an Accord or Mazda6.

Naliliitan ako sa 1.5 L engine on this platform unless it's turbo. Magbabawas pa ng HP at torque sa katagalan.

The longer it takes for my agent to provide me with a unit, the more I end up thinking of other alternatives. Now, I'm thinking if it's worth also considering the Innova E.
