[MikeMike]

used mazda 3 I, 04.
25K miles or so
a/c,
power everything
cd player
5 speed
4 wheel disc brakes
abs
alloy wheels
(standard warranty with whatever is remaining)
12999 (or so)

used Civic EX 01
39K
its the EX, whatever you get with the EX. (yes abs)
6 month/7500 mile drivetrain warranty
11999

ive yet to actually find the Mazda 3 w/ a 5 speed for sale anywhere, but i have found the EX for that specific cost. which would you guys recommend.

and are there any differences in th 04, 05 Mada 3's? i test drove a new one yesterday and throoughly enjoyed it, i feel it looks better and is MUCH less bland than the civic, but my price range was decreased about 6K

LOL!

Of the 2 I think I'd go with the Mazda 3. I don't have anything against Hondas but I just wouldn't choose it in this case.

I have no clue about the Mazda but I've had a Civic for a while with absolutely no problems so I'd say Civic.

My sister has an 01 civic ex. It's not bad, but it's slow and fugly as hell. I'd rather have a mazda 3.

 

[iversonyin]

EX is top of the line, does it have ABS tho?

you should be able to get a new '05 for about that much at the end of this year...

in march 2003 i bought a '03 civic lx coupe, 5sp for $13.5 +ttl...you should be able to do MUCH better this year, especially after the new civics come out..

uhh..... the civic ex has 127hp. the mazda 3 has either 148 or 160 (depending on which one you get).

148/135 with 3000lbs to move (Mazda 3)
vs
127/114 with 2500 lbs to move (Civic)

id say it would be pretty close, the the Mazda 3 feels peppier.

Of couse i knew it gonna be close, its just seem that the poster think mazda 3 is substantially faster....."civic is slow and fugly"....like Mazda 3 can do better in speed

Where is the option for "just fvcking pick one and buy it already"?
Its easy,
If you want gas milage you get the civic.
If you want style and more power you get the 3.

 

[Blazin Trav]

I don't like the choices, but Mazda.

gas mileage difference...

28/35
vs
30/38
3 vs civic

not that much of a difference.

and i in all actuality havent found a 3 w/ a 5 speed yet, and i need the higher mileage to decrease the cost a lil.

MIKE

 

[Shawn]

Just get the Mazda!

 

[sniperruff]

if you must choose between the two, the mazda is a better buy. the civic is ridiculous.

don't worry about the gas milage.

I just bought an '04 Mazda6 V6 wagon for $14700 today...Hondas are fantastic automobiles but so ubiquitous and competent they're boring.
