Groove Mazda

The Mazda3 and the Honda Civic are both beautiful cars but your Denver Mazda dealer, Groove Mazda highlights the differences.

Comfort
The Mazda3 offers rear passengers about the same space to stretch out as the Honda Civic with comparable rear head- and legroom in both vehicles. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Mazda3 and the Honda Civic in the front seats.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Mazda3 as you will with the Honda Civic, as they get the same number of miles per tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Mazda consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. The Mazda3 and the Honda Civic have similar Destination Charges.

Dimensions
The Mazda3 is about the same width as the Honda Civic. When looking at overall length, the Mazda3 takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Honda Civic.

Drivetrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Mazda3 transmits a bit more power to the wheels than the Honda Civic.

Handling
The Mazda3 has a smaller turning radius than the Honda Civic, allowing you to more easily maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Mazda3 is somewhat more powerful than the Honda Civic.

Utility
In terms of seating you'll be able to fit the same number of people in both the Mazda3 and the Honda Civic. The Mazda3 has less cargo capacity than the Honda Civic, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.

Warranty
The Mazda3 comes with essentially the same basic warranty as the Honda Civic.
