As you travel around Annandale, Clinton, and Somerville, New Jersey, you can spot the Honda Civic vs. Mazda3 at just a glance. These athletic, compact sedans have everything you need to enhance your time on the road. Does one car offer more to you as a driver than the other?

To help you find out, Clinton Honda put together this comparison for you and drivers from Easton, Pennsylvania. Read on to see which will make the better road companion.

Honda Civic vs Mazda3: Efficiency

Whether you’re commuting to and from work or spending a night on the town with friends, your sporty sedan should take you where you need to go. Both the Honda Civic and the Mazda3 have the power you need, with respective 2.0L and 2.5L standard 4-cylinder engines.

However, just as essential as power is efficiency. With the Honda Civic’s EPA-estimated 30 city and 37 highway MPG with the Sport trim, you won’t have to frequent the gas station.* Unfortunately, if you’re in the driver’s seat of the Mazda3, you’ll have less efficiency with an EPA-estimated 28 city and 37 highway MPG.

Honda Civic vs Mazda3: Interior Dimensions

Your sedan should be compact without sacrificing interior space. When you enter the Civic, you’ll find more space than in its competitor with 99 cubic feet of passenger space. In comparison, the Mazda3 only offers 92.8 cubic feet.

More passenger space means more individual seat space, too. Let’s take a closer look at the interior dimensions of both sedans:

Honda Civic vs Mazda3: Front/Rear Interior Dimensions
	Honda Civic	Mazda3
Headroom	39.3 inches/37.1 inches	38.0 inches/37.3 inches
Legroom	42.3 inches/37.4 inches	42.3 inches/35.1 inches
Shoulder Room	57.0 inches/56.0 inches	55.7 inches/53.5 inches

As you can see, you and your four passengers will sit more comfortably in the Civic. Plus, when you need to drop your bags into the trunk, the Honda gives you 14.8 cubic feet, while the Mazda3 trunk only offers 13.2 cubic feet of space.

Honda Civic vs Mazda3: Technology

In terms of modern technology, the Honda Civic and the Mazda3 have plenty to offer. The larger available screen in the Honda Civic mean you won’t be squinting or lowering your eyes and losing your visual grip on the road. An optional 10.2-inch Driver Information Interface informs you about active driver-assistive systems, mileage, and more.

In the center of the Civic dashboard, an available 9-inch color touch-screen helps you navigate the roads ahead or choose different apps from your smartphone.

At its best, the Mazda3 provides a standard 7-inch LCD Meter Display where you’ll see the odometer, engaged systems, and more. The standard 8.8-inch Mazda Connect™ screen comes close to the Honda display, but it doesn’t top it.

Honda Civic vs MAZDA3 Annandale NJ

While both offer a Traffic Sign Recognition System (TSR), only the Honda gives it to you standard. This can be a great help when traversing different neighborhoods so that you’re aware of a changing speed limit or an upcoming stop sign.

As you’re monitoring the area surrounding your car when parking, backing out, or moving in some other direction, a rearview camera comes in handy. From the start, the Civic provides a multi-angle rearview camera with dynamic guidelines so that you can move with confidence. The Mazda3 has a rearview camera that only displays one view.
