The price is out. The hatch now has all the sedan features just with higher price tag? Now that's convincing compare to previous one price the same but remove some feature.

But I already book for civic tc haha

I tried both the Mazda 3 GVC and Civic 1.8 at SACC

Sure Mazda Interior still felt better especially that knob at the gear level is particularly useful, but civic gave a much more spacious feeling. Backseats space totally can't compare.

Mazda3 center console is nicer, Civic instrumental cluster is nicer. I didn't adjust the head up display in Mazda3 so the viewing angle is odd for me during test drive.

Mazda 3 with GVC does makes a different during drive. It gives you more confidence in handling the car.

The only reason I'm interested in Mazda3 this time around is because they have High Spec Hatchback, before facelift they only have hatchback same price with sedan but with less equipment. Now hatchback is priced higher than sedan but with same high spec equipment.

Mazda 3 GL vs Civic 1.8s : I would go for Civic

Mazda 3 High Spec/Hatchback vs Civic 1.5tc/tc-p : Comes down to preference, I like the hatchback because you will definitely see less on the road compare to Civic. Was told hatchback now got stock available in aluminum silver and meteor grey.
