Mazda 3 vs Integra: Comparison, Fuel Cost Audit, 31 Calculations I Made So You Wouldn't Have to!

Good comparison and data summary’s Justin. Well done son!

I would go with the Mazda 3 sedan. The value is exceptional.

I have a 2023 Integra elite A spec with the manual. It’s a bit expensive for what you get but for me it was worth it the get the 6 speed manual transmission. I average 7 to 7.5 litres per 100km in 90% city driving. I can easily get low 6 or high 5 litres per 100km when on the highway. I use 91 octane fuel. It’s fun to drive and has enough space for a family of 4.

Excellent feedback thanks! Any other cars in your stable? Was AWD a consideration in your use case at all?

[@rileyjones750]

We have a 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness so we use that when we need AWD. I hit a moose in the Yukon with my old forester with a 6 speed manual so I had to resort to ordering one with a CVT… I live in British Columbia so I only really see snow for 1-2 weeks out of the year unless I go into the mountains so FWD in the Integra works well here.

Awesome, thanks. Cheers from North Ontario !

I really want a manual, and when the manuals are compared, the Integra shines. The larger interior space is also good. It is so, so hard to find a used Mazda manual.

I would love to have the Type S in the driveway, right alongside a ND-3 Miata... Too bad ive only got used Nissan Micra money.

As an owner of many civics, imo, honda generally does a crappy job on seat comfort and support. I also own a cx30 and the seats are super

I'm debating between Mazda 3 turbo and Subaru wrx, awd is a must since I live 7 hours north of Toronto.

[@nexornator]

interesting that it didn't mention more detailed that one has CVT and the other a normal 6 automatic transmission, by that alone I think the Mazda wins easily, a single chain running by friction all the time to output your velocity in a car is big no no for me.
