2021 HONDA CIVIC VS 2021 MAZDA3: A LOT TO GET EXCITED ABOUT IN THE 2021 CIVIC

  
The Honda Civic has been the best selling car in Canada for over two decades, and that type of success doesn't happen by coincidence. The biggest reason why the Honda Civic continues to have so much appeal to Canadian consumers is that it offers perhaps the best balance of performance and comfort and reliability and resale value in the segment, while also offering exceptional fuel economy. This is what has allowed the Civic to stand out against numerous competitors including the Mazda3 which has been redesigned recently but continues to trail the Civic in terms of sales.
  
Better efficiency and more space in the 2021 Honda Civic
  
The Honda Civic stands out with its impressive engine lineup that includes a base 2.0 L 4 cylinder engine that delivers 158 horsepower along with 138 pound-feet of torque. This is a lot of performance wrapped up in the Civic and it actually beats the Mazda3’s base engine by three horsepower. The other engine in the Civic lineup is the 1.5 L turbo which delivers 174 horsepower along with 162 pound-feet of torque. This is an even more impressive engine because it delivers the same level of performance as the Mazda3’s 2.5 litre engine, but it also averages about 1 litre less per 100 kilometres.
  
Regardless of which version you choose, the Honda Civic will deliver similar performance to the Mazda3, but with better efficiency.
  
While the Mazda3 is one of the smallest vehicles in the compact sedan segment, the Honda Civic is one of the most versatile with better rear legroom and better cargo space as well. Many buyers need space but they don't want an SUV, and in the Honda Civic you get over 400 L of cargo space in the sedan and over 700 in the hatchback. Compared to the Mazda3 which offers 374 L in the sedan and 569 L in the hatchback, you will get a lot more room for your gear or your vacations or your groceries in the Honda Civic.
