I did consider and read a lot comparisons from overseas for Civic VS M3.
But i've always like M3 since the day it launched in Malaysia, Civic design is also pretty nice actually.
But i heard the waiting list is already more than 3 months, and it havent even officially launched yet.
From overseas review, they say civic is more like an all-rounder car, while M3 is more like a driver car, with better handling but smaller leg room and boot space. But i'm looking for a car to be mostly driven alone, maybe sometimes with my boyfriend, so i think leg room doesnt really bother me. If talk about boot space, M3 backseats are foldable, but i heard civic ones arent. So if you take into account on the foldable back seats, actually M3 should be able to fit in more large items.
And Civic's new features do sound very cool, with walk-away auto lock, remote engine start, smart monitoring system (still not sure what it is). But remote engine start sounds not so practical for me, a bit like for show purposes. I think it's only good when you park under hot sun, and u have time to walk near it, start the engine remotely and wait for the aircond to go cool; or in the morning u warm up your car before driving it?
Walk-away auto lock seems M3 HS got that setting in MZD? But M3 has a lot other safety features, like Smart City Braking system, Adaptive front lighting, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning, high beam control, etc. And with 3 years free maintenance.
Anyway just my thinking.
if i'm not mistaken the new civic has foldable backseat and ISOFIX too, most new car has it
m3 high spec has auto lock, but the base spec one doesn't have it
blind spot monitoring aka rear-view monitoring is damn useful, although it is not so "high tech" like civic lanewatch but it works reliably
lane departure is just for show only, most of the time is annoying if you like to change lane without signal
high beam control only works at very dark road without streetlight, very good if you drive in those hill road like hulu langat and ulu yam
smart city brake wont work when you going faster than 30km/h, there is another better autonomous system call Forward Obstruction Warning for higher speed which is not available in malaysia model
maybe you should go test drive a high spec m3 first then you will know how it feels being in the driver seat
