2006 Honda Civic or 2006 Mazda3?

[Fuster_Cluck]

I'm debating on which to get. I really like Hondas new design with the 06 sedans. After seeing a Mazda3 yesterday, I can say that I really like the exterior styling as well.

With the Honda you get reliability, much better mpg, NO OEM HIDS, weaker motor, a car that will be at every intersection by the end of summer. A reliable family car!

With the Mazda it seems the reliability is mixed, OEM HIDS, stronger motor, better steering response, more of a sports car feeling.

I'm going to test drive the mz3, but I'd like to hear from anyone who owns a mz3. I just joined a Mazda3 forum and have been lurking.

Kind of a repeat:
I'm thinking MZ3 because of the OEM HIDS, not to common, black interior, nice body lines.
I'm thinking Civic because I've been a Honda guy for quite sometime now, like the 2-tier layout, reliability, better mpg, and damn they look sexy with OEM TSX wheels :idb:

It's got to be Automatic as well since this will be my woman's car as well. Got the EG (soon to be K20 powered) for the weekend :goodjob:

:lmfao: Best joke in 2006 :lmfao:

After reading about problems on the mazda board, no way in hell I am getting one now. I'll just keep checking the dealerships to see when they want to come off the sticker price :jerkit:

Out of the 2 I would pick the Mazda, although I really dont like have the 3 looks in the back...drives good though. (Zoom Zoom live driving)

I dont like mazda 3 rear.. but the interior and the rest of the car a nice.. New Civic Are pretty damn nice too..they are growing on me.

I dont like how the new civic looks on exterior and I dont like how the radio\cd player is but I love what they did with the gauges and what not. That is sweet.

I like the mazda 3 because like those 5-speed autos with the slap stick.

I love the mazda 3. I drove the Mazda 3 i Sedan not to long ago and it reminded me of an e36 BMW for some reason. I like the tiptronic on it, not seen too much in econoboxes.

Get the 3 it's different and won't get stolen by Soloboy and crew! LoL!

[Cool Cat GTR]

Definitely the Mazda 3. It's a great car. Drove one at Mazda Zoom Zoom Live.

Mazdas would be cool, but i just cant see myself supporting a ford company.
