Question
GK_007
Hi All,
I am on the look out for a new car, and have drilled down to 2 options Mazda 3 2015 Or a Honda CIVIC 2018. My budget is around 5.5-6.0 max
Currently used Mazda 3s are advertised around 5.5-5.8mn and Civic 2018 SR will be around 6.0mn range. I'm so glad if you guys can give your inputs in selecting one between them. I expect to use the car for least 5 years and will be driving around 80kms per day. (in both heavy traffic and suburban areas). I am happy if I can get a combined gas mileage of around 12-14. (average)
I have couple of concerns,
1-Transmission - Mazda 3 comes with a 4 speed conventional auto and the Civic has a cvt. I currently own a cvt and got so much used to it, so feel I should stick to a cvt due to its smoothness. (However I am yet to drive a mazda 3)
2-Ground clearance - Mazda 3 has 160mm and Civic only has 133mm
3-Civic is 0 mileage whereas 3 is used.
4-Resale value-Suppose mazda 3 will depreciate more.
5-Since I will be on the road for like 3-4 hours per day wish the ride is comfy.
6-Value for money-price point civic has more features and seems worth for the money.
7-Mazda gets an agent warranty but civic not, as a agent I have'nt been with colonial not sure about their work.
TBH I am more biased towards civic, have seen some good reviews on civic however the low ground clearance and I feel doubtful about the longevity of 1L turbo engine. I went through previous posts on this, given the complexity of this engine mazda 4 cylinder 1.6 is simple and less likely to go wrong in the long term is'nt it.
Please help me in deciding. Highly appreciate your opinions on above, thank you.
Any users of above cars or both ?
*Im not in to axios, premios, priuses, vezzels etc.
