2021 Mazda3 Vs. 2021 Honda Civic

Few sedans can match the Honda Civic’s brand awareness and sales performance. While Honda emphasizes its appeal to millennials, its Gen X parents, and Boomer grandparents have also bought Civics. The Mazda 3 sedan hasn’t been around for long as a family tradition, but it’s a great little car that competes well in terms of safety, price, features, and pretty much everything else. Both cars are aimed at customers who want sportier, but the Mazda 3 is more overtly athletic, especially in combination with the optional turbo engine.
