The civic will be easier to resale in the long run, and will most likely last longer.
Thats b/c SHEEP buy anything with a "H" badge no matter how good or bad it is.


The Mazda 3 is simply the best car in class. Even though its selling well, TONS of people missing out on it simply b/c its a "Mazda".
