If your Mazda3 Carbon is the non-turbo then you should be averaging about the same assuming that you aren't driving it like a race car driver.

[@gozorak]

After nearly 8 years with a 2016 Miata Sport which I loved and will always love I decided to go the 4 door mini sedan route(Im older now and I want comfort more than excitement). I looked at all the makes and models and in the end I stayed with Mazda with the 3 Sedan. Over the years Mazda has improved the quality and longevity of its cars and since I always keep up with routine maintenance I am certainly confident that the car will last for some time. The primary reason for the Mazda 3 other than liking the brand is how much more elegant, user friendly and uncluttered to Mazda 3's interior is. It is absolutely beautiful while most of the competition have interiors that are garish, obnoxious, cheesy, and just plain ugly. The massive infotainment screens that stick out like sore thumbs in these cars are absurd. The Mazda's infotainment screen is just large enough at 8.5 inches to meet all of my needs. Its appearance is that of something that is blended into the dash naturally and organically. I dont need or want touch screen features and because the infotainment screen in the Mazda sits high enough and far enough away from my reach I have no fear of something hitting or striking it accidentally something that is much more likely with most of the competition.

I just test drove both today. In my opinion Mazda 3 has sportier handling because it has a much heavier steering and not a CVT transmission.Even the non turbo feels very quick 190 hp and light weight so it packs a punch and really fun to drive. But the Civic feels more practical and comfortable to drive, very light steering wheel and softer suspension absorbs bumps.And much more space in the back seats and the trunk. 450 miles of range so it’s a much more economical choice for a daily.

I got mine for $23.1K, and for this price, it offered the best combination of looks, features, and powertrain. This trim is beautiful and packed with features that other brands don’t offer. The driving position is excellent, and the keyless entry system is a great convenience. The car feels like a well-balanced racing car, with a quiet engine that still delivers a sporty sound when needed. There are a few downsides-like the gas pedal response in regular mode, which feels a bit delayed. Because of this, I prefer driving in sport mode. While the 1st and 2nd gears are a bit slow and require building RPM, once you get past the 2nd gear, the acceleration is impressive-you can feel the full horsepower. Engine braking in sport mode is also fantastic and adds to the driving experience. The steering wheel design is excellent, offering a premium feel and comfort. The dashboard is another highlight-it’s sleek, modern, and makes all controls and displays easy to see. Overall, this car is a joy to drive and offers features and performance that stand out in its class.

Honda still beats the Mazda in depreciation value! Mazda is catching up, but a Honda will hold a lot more value after 3-5 years and in the longterm than a Mazda! Civic also has better fuel economy and way better infotainment! The Civic also has an independent multi-link rear suspension. Whereas the Mazda makes due with a torsion beam suspension.

[@mutahir2002]

I think that’s a point FOR the Mazda, if you buy used and plan on keeping the car for as long as it lives (like me). I think a big reason the value depreciates slower on the Honda is just because it’s a Honda. Otherwise, I believe reliability is similar.
