Honda Civic vs Mazda 3 Liftback vs Mazda 3 Sedan Comparison

From The Experts

Things we like	Striking Design – The Honda Civic’s sleek coupe-like styling and luxury sedan elements make it a real head-turner. Modern & Feature-Rich Interior – While not as futuristic as its eighth-gen predecessor, the tenth-gen Civic offers a well-equipped and comfortable cabin. VTEC Power & Performance – Retaining the 1.8L engine, the Civic also gets an optional 1.5L turbocharged petrol unit, delivering power akin to a 2.4L engine.   Read More	High equipment and safety levels Engine is not only powerful but fun to drive and efficient Read More	Timeless design Enjoyable driving characteristics High safety standards Read More
Things we don't like	Cramped Rear Cabin – Despite a spacious feel, rear legroom is decent at best, and headroom is limited due to the sloping roofline. CVT Dulls the Drive – The 1.8L engine delivers good power, but the CVT’s rubber-band effect reduces driving excitement. Paddle Shifters Help – While not a complete fix, paddle shifters add some engagement to the driving experience. Read More	No diesel engine is available Rear seat could have been slightly upright Read More	Rear cabin space No dual zone air conditioning Expensive to maintain Read More
