It's another choose my next car thread. I'm torn between a 2025 Mazda 3 (select or preferred) and a 2025 Honda Civic (or Civic Hybrid) Sport. Here are some things about my situation:>I drive roughly 12K mi/y>I live in Ohio (so I get fucked with a $100 hybrid registration upcharge)>I have very good/excellent credit>I will need to finance roughly 50-66%>Mazda has 0-1% APR available while Honda will be ~6%>I don't care too much about 0-60/performance
>>28108178Mazda3>proven 2.5L engine>traditional auto>0% interestCivic>oil burning 1.5L engine>CVT>hybrid>6% interestIt’s a no brainer really
Mazda3 na 2.5 is what id go with Do you need to use the backseats? The mazda is horrible for that. So keep that in mind.
>>28108178>Mazda has 0-1% APRAll that needs to be said.Mazda 3 Select: $26,000 +1% APR= 26,260Honda Civic Hybrid Sport: 29,000 +6% APR= 31,74050 more horsepower means less effort required when passing and merging, plus less drone from CVT which are also more prone to breaking.
>>28108185>>28108202>>28108209Thanks for the advice. That's where I was kind of leaning too, but my family and I are Honda fanboys (past in my case, only lean towards them now) so switching might be a shock at first. I also kind of wanted a hybrid but again, fuck Ohio so much.As for rear space, I get no bitches and am therefore even further away from throwing kids into the mix.
>>28108178The Mazda is better just due to the lower cost and interest rates, however the Honda would be more spacious and comfy inside but that's it really (also i wouldn't get anything with one of their turbos in it so don't choose that engine option if you're going with the Honda)

There's a manual option for both these vehicles in a cheap trim PLEASE get some testosterone flowing in your balls and maybe usable backseat space will be a criteria for your next car purchase
>>28108202the sedan is ok for that
>>28108420>muh manuel transmissionIf you think getting laid depends on the kind of gearbox your car has, you might as well invest in a sex doll too.
