Both types of suspension are independent. Almost all new cars, specially the FWD cars use MacPherson Strut suspension up front.

MacPherson strut
The Main advantages of the MacPherson strut suspension, its simpler, lighter and takes up less horizontal space.

Double wishbone
The Double wishbone suspension is more complex and takes up more space, but the upper and lower arm design allows the designers to tune the kinematics of the suspension to optimize wheel motion.

I guess you can say the Double wishbone suspension is probably easier tune compared to the MacPherson strut, because its layout allows it while the strut layout is more limited.

But of course through the decades companies like BMW and Porsche figured out how to push the strut design to its limits.

Sir AG4,

Based from numerous reviews, MacPherson strut suspension of a Mazda 3 is better than Honda civics, can you give us technical explanation regarding this? Thanks!

. FWD and N/A has always been the hallmark of the Civic. Come to think of it, not even the S2000 (which is RWD) is turbocharged.

My wish is:

FD-gen SiR with M/T on a high-revving K20 (or remake of the legendary B16 or B18) to heat up the compact sedan market.

My other wish is:

For Honda to quit the luxury car route on its small cars.
