Though you can’t beat the quality that the Mazda3 and Civic models bring to the table, there’s no debating the heightened serenity and refinement that the Mazda3 offers. Inside, you’ll be treated to premium leather seating and wood trims, and your drive will be supplemented quite nicely by G-Vectoring Torque Control and I-ACTIV All-Wheel Drive – this just isn’t an option on the Civic. Even so – and solidified by its IIHS Top Safety Pick designation – the Mazda3 also comes out on top when it comes to safety, offering the following advanced features:

Blind Spot Monitoring
Rear Cross Traffic Alert
Mazda Radar Cruise Control with Stop & Go
Smart Brake Support
High Beam Control
