Three reasons to buy a 2021 Mazda3 instead of a 2021 Honda Civic

Are you interested in a compact sedan? You've got plenty of choice in the market, but it's a safe bet that the Mazda3 and Honda Civic are on your list of vehicles to try. Both the Mazda3 and the Civic are among the best-selling vehicles in Quebec and both have a lot to offer. That said, each has its qualities and when we talk about the 2021 Mazda3, we notice that in terms of driveability, performance and efficiency, the Mazda3 has the advantage. In addition, it offers technologies not found in the Honda Civic. Let's take a closer look.


More power and more driving pleasure


The Mazda3 has always been known for its driving pleasure and the new generation introduced two years ago is no exception. Offering 155 horsepower standard with an even more powerful 186 horsepower engine and 186 lb-ft of torque available in the majority of versions, the 2021 Mazda3 delivers more power than the Honda Civic which translates into much more driving pleasure. What's more, the Mazda3 delivers power without compromising on fuel economy, offering substantially the same fuel economy as the Civic.


In addition, the 2021 Mazda3 offers a very powerful 2.5-liter turbo four-cylinder engine that delivers up to 250 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque which is phenomenal. No car in the Civic lineup, not even the Type R, delivers that much torque.


All-wheel drive


Another asset of the 2021 Mazda3 lineup should also be mentioned, namely the availability of all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive offers undeniable advantages in terms of handling and safety, especially in winter and when the road is wet. There is nothing quite like driving an all-wheel drive vehicle in Quebec winters and the 2021 Mazda3 is one of the only cars in its class to offer it.


A more modern car


We want to note in closing that the 2021 Mazda3 is very modern, dating back to only a few years ago. The 2021 Honda Civic is in its final year, which means it lacks equipment compared to the Mazda3 which is simply more modern.
