| Civic or mazda3
Alright, so i know NOTHINg at all about cars besides driving them (I just got my L haha). My parents are going to buy me a car, and I've narrowed it to two (budget is around 20thousand - no used cars).
2010 Honda Civic or 2010 Mazda 3 sedan
they're both around the same price - which one do you guys think is a better buy? A friend of mine said Mazda is better in every way compared to Honda , but another said she drove a Mazda3 for several years and it has a lot of problems
again, i know Nothing about cars haha. Please help out. If you guys say that the whatever is better in this car , please explain what the "whatever" does because - i really dont know a thing about cars LOL. Thanks

If you care about the looks, then get a Civic. The 2010 Mazda3 looks hideous with the new redesign, from my perspective.

Mazda 3 you'll get more for your money, but you'll also have a 90% chance of people trying to hit your driver's door  | |

If it was the previous gen mazda 3, i'd pick it, but the new one with the smiley face isn't appealing at all. I'm sure it's still a great car, but that face is just...  | |

If you're closed minded enough to only pick from those 2 cars, when there are soo many others available in your price range, i'd go with the mazda 3

Well if you are thinking about modding the car, civic ftw. Tons of aftermarket potential and besides, would you really want to mod that hideous happy face mazda3? haaha, just another thought for you.

new mazda 3 is a fucking joke
most fugly car i ever seen, whoever buys it is fucking blind
the interior and power to weight ratio is definitely much better than a civic
if you can stand the fugly look, get a 3
if not get a civic
pretty simple
