Why the 2023 Mazda3 is a Better Buy than the 2023 Honda Civic
January 06 2023,
Are you in the market for a compact car? If so, you’ve likely narrowed your choices down to two of the most popular models on the Canadian market—the Mazda3 or the Honda Civic. But which one should you choose? Here, at Morrey Mazda, we think that the 2023 Mazda3 is a significantly better buy than the 2023 Honda Civic, and here are a few reasons why.
Available All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
Many people don’t realize that AWD is an option when it comes to buying compact cars. But with the Mazda3, it absolutely is! The AWD system offers superior traction and control in all weather conditions, making this car well-suited to Canadian winters. It also provides superior handling around corners and curves. This system isn’t available on any of the current Honda Civics—so if AWD is important to you, then go for the Mazda3!
Driving Pleasure
Another major benefit of driving a Mazda3 over a Honda Civic is that it just feels better on the road. With its finely tuned suspension system and refined engine design, this car gives its driver more pleasure than other similarly priced vehicles can offer. It truly feels like driving a much more expensive vehicle when you take it out on long drives—something that can’t be said about its competitors.
Price Range
Last but not least, let's talk about pricing. When quickly comparing these two models side by side, there’s no doubt that the Mazda3 has a slightly higher price tag than its competitor. But in reality, it's the other way around—the Honda Civic is actually more expensive! A base 2023 Civic LX has an MSRP of $26,835, while the 2023 Mazda3 GX starts at $21,900. That’s a savings of over four thousand dollars! So if budget is your top priority, the Mazda3 should be at the top of your list.
Taking all these factors into consideration, there’s no question that buying a new 2023 Mazda3 instead of a 2023 Honda Civic makes sense for anyone looking for an affordable yet reliable compact car in Canada. So if you're ready to take your commute up another level - come down today and take one for a test drive! You won't regret it!
