Bro, you're saying Mazda's torsion beam handling better than Civic's multilink? Cannot be, someone here said the torsion beam bad handling contributed high number of total lost....

BTW, congrats and enjoy the new car.

there is more to handling than just rear torsion beam... gotta drive it to feel it... not just looked at specs... also it can suck in one car and excel in another... gotta look at the whole package...

rented new alza for 10 days... drove up/down mountain and everywhere else... very good nvh imho...

soundproofing easy to add as long as chasis/handling is worth the trouble...

i did and i prefer the Civic's suspension much more.

not because of rear multilink, more to how the Mazda 3 seems to be on standard outdated absorbers, which the Civic already have bypass valve built into it. it handles high speed compression/rebounds WAY better than the Mazda 3.

multilink helps here too wink.gif

imho civic is a more complete car... if not for steering rack problem, quite sure ts wont be changing
