So I test drove the Honda fit and the civic hatchback.
The fits flexibility and storage is amazing. But accelerate, or drive the thing uphill and it is loud. maybe it's the CVT...I'm sure it would hum along fine on the highway (as long as there are not hills) and would be great for city driving, but there was really no comparison to the civic. (which cannot fit a bike upright as easily, that's for sure. may still do, will test with my upright bike).
Civic was very impressive--good pick up nice brakes. good interior features. good cargo space too (definitely looks like more than mazda 3). Agree that the civic is a bit boy racer / 2 fast 2 furious in its aesthetics...
The mazda is objectively the better looking car and the interior is nice, good features, nice driving . its almost a toss up between the two, but the turbocharged 1.5L civic is definitely more spritely (and more economical!) than the base 2.0L mazda...
decisions...
